The Sachal Vasandani music video premiere is also complemented by a variety of network marketing efforts leading up to the music video debut, including an exclusive online interview featuring the Mack Avenue Records artist on http://www.betj.com/ as well as extensive on-air promotion. Viewers can look forward to "The Naked As We Came" music video airing in heavy rotation on SOUL SESSIONS from May - July 2007. SOUL SESSIONS is more than a music show - it encompasses the many different elements of soul, and fuses the finest live performances with today's hottest music videos covering all music genres that touch and uplift the soul.
"There are very few songwriters and vocalists whose music transcends beyond one particular music genre that attracts and appeals to the BET J viewer," stated Paxton Baker, Executive Vice President & General Manager of BET J and President of BET Event Productions. "Sachal Vasandani fits within our diverse, multicultural programming slate, and this is why we are proud to exclusively broadcast his music on our digital network."
Filmed on location in Hollywood, California, and produced and directed by the multi-talented Anthony E. Garth, the "Naked As We Came" music video is the latest single from Sachal Vasandani's Mack Avenue Records debut, "Eyes Wide Open". Although Vasandani has a unique connection with the jazz scene, his music touches across other genres complete with driving rhythms and profound emotion, which is guaranteed to woo BET J viewers.
