Dom Jones’ new single and video for “The Blacker Berry” is a gleaming, blue-lit flex that turns the dance floor into a mirror for self-love and main-character energy. Built for modern club speakers but grounded in a heartfelt songwriter's intention, the track reflects the confidence of an artist whose pen has already landed on Netflix, Hulu, and HBO Max placements, and who knows exactly how to create a polished hit with depth and personality.
Produced by longtime collaborator Kasey Phillips of Precision Productions, “The Blacker Berry” leans into thick 808s, tightly tucked hi-hats, and a no-wasted-motion arrangement that keeps everything in service of the groove. Phillips’ résumé, spanning Ciara and Chris Brown’s “How We Roll” to BLXCKIE’s See You Soon EP, shows in the song’s stadium-ready sheen. The low end hits with soca-bred weight, while the beat leaves just enough negative space for Jones’ vocal to glide cleanly across the track. Lyrically, “The Blacker Berry” celebrates Black women everywhere with lines like, "A victor with the venom / She’s a vixen you can stand by / All my beautiful Black women / Keep your hands high!" Where much club-minded R&B leans into detached cool, Jones leans into presence, warmth, and visibility, inviting listeners to celebrate themselves in real time.
For an Oakland-raised, LA-based Berklee alum and International Songwriting Competition winner, “The Blacker Berry” proves that intentionality and joy don’t have to be opposites. The song is the second single from Jones' upcoming EP 2.0, which is also a collaboration with producer Kasey Phillips in its entirety. Dom Jones has received numerous awards and accolades for her contributions to music including being featured in The National Museum of Art, with brands such as Nissan, and on numerous TV / film streaming platforms. On a mission to create an impactful ecosystem for artists, Dom Jones is a multifaceted talent to watch in 2026. Watch and Listen to "The Blacker Berry" for a metaphorical blue, full body-led celebration!
