Saweetie surprised her fans, affectionately called the #ICYGang, on Valentine’s Day with the unveiling of her latest single, ‘Closer.’

Enlisting GRAMMY and Academy Award-winning songstress H.E.R. to assist, the SupaKaine-produced bop got nothing but love from both acts’ devoted fan bases – a reception reflected on this week’s Hot 100 as the tune premiered at #89.

In an effort to get it to higher heights on the hit list, Saweetie’s already hit the promo trail running in its support.  The latest of such ventures is a peek behind the scenes at the creation process of the tune’s Hannah Lux Davis-directed visual.

Launched a day ahead of its parent album’s release, ‘Avalanche’ – which samples The Temptations’ classic ‘Papa Was a Rolling Stone’ – was first introduced via a live performance at ‘The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon’ Wednesday (June 9).  Elements of the performance were then incorporated into the tune’s official music video.

To accent the throwback vibe of the tune, the trio donned matching suits and sunglasses while leading a live band.

Returning to her YouTube roots, the Canadian native sat down for an interview-style tell-all about her soon-to-be ex-husband Adam Ali.

Complications around the pair’s split allegedly were the cause for LaToya not being a peach-holder on the current installment of the Bravo hit.
