Raven Symone Release Two New Singles “Cruise Control” & “Sarafina” Its That Raven We Miss

She’s Baaack!

Raven Symone releases two new singles “Cruise Control” and “Sarafina” on soundcloud May 21st.

It’s a grandiose, almost audio visual of what it may feel like to let go and let your inhibitions fly. its very soundtrack-ish, an epic sound for a dramatic interpretation. I can already see a video.

“Im letting go on cruise control. ..don’t you worry about the milage”

Raven Describes it as;
