Before her passing earlier this summer, singer and former The Voice contestant Christina Grimmie had been working on multiple music videos as part of The Ballad of Jessica Blue series for her four-song EP titled Side A.
The first of those music videos, called “Snow White,” was released Thursday. In the video, the 22-year-old singer portrays a girl named Jessica Blue who is dealing with boyfriend problems ahead of her upcoming music gig. In her song, she wonders when her prince will come save her.
The video has the following description:
The story follows a young girls journey into self-discovery through her love life, her womanhood and her music. “Jessica” is at a crossroads in her life. She becomes suspicious of her boyfriend and is gripped by insecurities only to realize that she is doing more damaged to her own heart and future than any relationship ever could. Jessica has an upcoming showcase where she hopes to prove to herself and others that her music is as strong as her desire to be great. With the showcase days away she can’t seem to put together her set or her songs. Jessica is torn between boyfriend issues, her creative issues and a general feeling of self-doubt. She confides in the people closest to her and they all give her words of wisdom along her path of self-discovery. Her beloved grandmother reminds her that all the security, strength and love she needs is in that powerful voice on the other side of her heart. Jessica finds her path by doing what she loves. She sings from her heart.
A new video in the series will be released each week for the next three weeks with “Anybody’s You” on August 18, “Deception” on August 25, and “Without Him” on September 1.
Grimmie passed away in June after being shot by a fan of hers at a meet and greet after a concert in Orlando.
