Model Reign Judge Shifts Gears with New Single 'Overdrive'

At just 24, Reign Judge is redefining her career, merging her modeling success with her passion for music. The IMG model, known for her campaigns with Miu Miu and Gucci, has recently turned her focus to creating music that resonates with her identity.

Judge's journey into music isn't just a fleeting whim; she has a rich background in jazz and opera from her years in a youth choir. After leaving college to pursue modeling in New York City, she quickly established herself in the fashion world. Now, she feels a compelling urge to intertwine her passions, stating, "I feel like now is the first time in my life where [fashion and music] are intertwining."

Her latest single, "Overdrive," marks a significant evolution in her artistry. Not only did she direct the music video, but she also styled it, showcasing her flair for fashion. Overcoming the challenge of dressing male actors, Judge thrived in the creative process, finding unique thrifted pieces that encapsulated a retro aesthetic.

Musically, "Overdrive" reflects a lighter tone compared to her earlier work, with lyrics flowing effortlessly during a studio session with producer RØMANS. Judge describes the song as feeling like it had always existed, ready to be expressed. Her sound, reminiscent of Amy Winehouse and infused with a hip-hop quality, is drawing increasing attention.

As her fanbase grows, so does the anticipation for a full album. Judge hints at her eagerness to craft a longer narrative in her music, promising that she is continuously working in the studio. "I’m excited for when the time comes to put together a longer story for people to tap into, sonically,” she shares, leaving fans eager for what’s next.
