Danger Mouse and The Roots’ Black Thought have made a swift return with a new video for “Aquamarine,” the third single from their forthcoming Cheat Codes album. The visual arrives just days after the celebrated duo delivered a video for “Because” featuring Joey Bada$$, Russ and singer Dillon Cartlidge.
This time around, Danger Mouse and Black Thought recruited British soul singer Michael Kiwanuka who provides the powerful and insidiously catchy hook. Visually, black-and-white imagery intersects with close ups of Black Thought and Kiwanuka’s faces as the soul-infused beat erupts with hi-hats and an ethereal chorus.
“Aquamarine” continues Danger Mouse and Kiwanuka’s fruitful collaborative relationship. The two teamed up on the singer’s breakout, chart-topping album Love & Hate as well as the Mercury Music Prize-winning follow up, Kiwanuka.
