Shenseea Made 2022 Music Ambassador For WNBA’s Connecticut Sun
Jamaican singer Shenseea is the Connecticut Sun’s 2022 Music Ambassador for the WNBA team’s 20th Anniversary season.
Her song Sun Comes Up, which appeared on her debut album Alpha, will soundtrack the “hype video” that will run during the opening sequence of all Connecticut Sun home games.
“Sun Comes Up, an inspirational song about persistence and determination in the face of adversity, in addition to having the organization’s name in the title, the song could not be more fitting for the Connecticut Sun franchise as it seeks to take hold of the elusive WNBA championship,” the team noted in a release.
Shenseea said the song, which featured an endearing outro moment with her six-year-old son Rajerio Lee, holds a special place in her heart.
“I’m so excited to be teaming up with the Connecticut Sun with a song that is so close to my heart, Sun Comes Up,” she said.
“I am especially honored to be a part of something that supports other strong women, and this collaboration represents everything that I want my music to be-music that empowers and uplifts people.”
Jen Rizzotti, Connecticut Sun President said the song was a ‘perfect fit’ for her organization and aligns with their goals of highlighting young artists.
“We are very excited to have Shenseea as our music ambassador for the Sun’s 20th Anniversary season! We have been working on ways to use our platform to highlight young artists and bring fans an elevated experience all season long. Having Shenseea work with us is definitely a step in that direction. Her song, “Sun Comes Up,” fits us as an organization perfectly, and I can’t wait for fans to enjoy the song along with us.”
