Even with her music career taking precedent, Tarver has found time to squeeze in acting gigs every so often.While taking a sabbatical to film Lifetime movie Dead on Campus, the actress used the month off in Canada to refresh and recharge before writing more songs. There aren’t any immediate plans for an album release, but Tarver has released the first of many individual songs via her Soundcloud page. The track, “Weekend Millionaires,” is described as an ode to living it up on the weekend while emptying your pockets. She says the fun, yet sarcastic, nature of the song will encapsulate her style and be a preview of what’s to come with her music. Before she braves Los Angeles’s wretched rush-hour traffic for an audition, Tarver confidently says she’s ready to do what few in her position have been successfully able to pull off. No, it’s not getting to the audition on time. Rather, Tarver’s budding confidence in her songwriting and pop sensibilities will prove that even though “Crazy Stupid Love” was a hit for Cole, it is the opening salvo on a promising career. 38 ragged // raggedmag.com
