Singer-Songwriter Venture released a new video Sweet To Me. Based in Phoenix and originally from Portland, the songstress made her mark when she dropped the songs Diamonds and Sober.

Venture notes, “Sweet To Me was a feeling I had during the prime of my last relationship when things were at their sweetest moments. When nothing can go wrong and all things are great until all things do go wrong and then it all changes.”

The track was produced by Gilde “Gilflo” Flores, known for scoring movie soundtracks and TV including Timbalands new lifetime series The Pop Game.
