Brooklyn multi-disciplinary artist RAFiA shares a new go-go dance inspired visual for her self-produced track “CRUSH” complete with lyrics for all your karaoke needs. The bouncy loop-based song floats sweetly alongside the rose-tinted visual, directed by Christopher Sonny Martinez, and as explained by RAFiA:

What inspired the song is the tingly feeling you get when you first realize you enjoy being in someone’s presence. You’re trying to get their attention without making it obvious that you’re trying, but you’re obviously tryin. So you’re tripping over yourself being goofy and losing your cool, but it doesn’t matter because you just feel so happy to experience this other person.
