Fans are hoping this may signal collaborative music still to come
Following on from her cameo as a stylistic reimagining of Lady Liberty in Donald Glover's (aka Childish Gambino) critically acclaimed video for 'This is America', SZA has tapped Glover to co-star in the latest video from her breakthrough project, 'CTRL'.
Directed by Karena Evans, the ethereal clip sees the rising artist perform against a range of backdrops with a key sequence featuring Glover as her love interest.
Hazy visuals masterfully combined with SZA's signature vocal flow, which has quickly become iconised as a masterful synthesis of high-brow imagery, romance, and contemporary relatability.
The quick succession of the two artists' linking up for videos has given birth to avid anticipation that the duo might be set to release music together in the coming months. In a music industry often plagued by poor attempts at cross-over and ill-conceived collaborations in a bid to boost streams and sales, a partnership between SZA and Childish Gambino could stand out as a beacon of authenticity that combines the talent and activism of two of the world's most current multi-hyphenate artists.
