British singer and songwriter Raye has released a new video telling the story of a painful sexual assault experience she had in the past. The “Ice Cream Man” visual was released on Wednesday, March 1st showing us a distraught Raye crying to herself in a restroom.
In the video is a scene where different hands touch and squeeze parts of the singer’s body as she sings reliving the painful experience.
The video ends with Raye picking herself up and walking out of the restroom with a message saying: “When I experienced sexual assault and rape, I didn’t tell anyone. 1 in 4 people experience sexual assault in their lifetime. The odds are that is at least 25% of you reading this,” reads the message from the singer. “This evil has more power over us in the dark than it does the light. If I can encourage anything, let’s not bury it deep down inside us forever.”
Watch the full visual of “Ice Cream Man” above.
