Music Fest Fridays: Skylar Simone performs ‘Permission’ for the first time

It’s Music Fest Friday!

Rising R&B singer Skylar Simone is heating up the summer with the recent release of “Shiver” and “Shut Up.” Simone joined us live ahead of her E.P. “Shiver” release with a special premiere performance of her unreleased song, “Permission.”


“Shiver” explores themes of love of another and the self, and acting from a place of heartbreak and confidence. The E.P. drops Friday, Aug. 16 and it’s available for pre-save.

Stay up to beat with Simone by following her on Instagram, TikTok and X (formerly Twitter). You can also subscribe to her YouTube channel.

This segment aired on the KTLA 5 News at 1 on Aug. 2, 2024, as part of our Music Fest Fridays series.
