    Tamar showcases her voice and choreography on the video for her song “Nowhere,” the lead single for her debut EP that will be released in August. “Nowhere” is a mid-tempo contemporary R&B track where Tamar tells the story of a woman committed to staying with her man through good and bad times. The track features the signatures of contemporary R&B such 808 drums laying down a hip-hop infused rhythm and a collaboration between vocalist and rapper. She tells us, “The ‘Nowhere’ video is an authentic picture of where I came from in Houston to where I am now in California in the Bay Area. It’s saying that I’m nowhere without love. It’s about reflection and it’s about coming into who I am.”
