Megan Thee Stallion has released a Colin Tilley-directed music video for her collaboration with Memphis rapper Key Glock, “Ungrateful.” The visual opens with Megan strutting down a hallway ensheathed in a sheer black veil before arriving at a crowded funeral.

Björk Ventures Into a Leafy Underworld in New “Atopos” Music Video
Björk has released the lead single for her forthcoming tenth studio LP, Fossora. “Atopos” is a bass-heavy rumination on love and destruction, in which the artist uses plants as a metaphor. “The lyrics are inspired by what Roland Barthes described as the unclassifiable OTHER ‘our differences are irrelevant our union is stronger than us,’” Björk shared. Directed by Viðar Logi with creative direction from the artist herself, the track’s accompanying music video takes viewers on a journey through a dark underworld inhabited by glowing leafy plants and mushrooms. Joined by six bass clarinet players and the DJ Kasimyn, one half of the duo Gabber Modus Operandi, Björk croons about the need for people to come together, lest they facilitate their own destruction. As the first song to arrive off of ...

Megan Thee Stallion Shares New Video for “Ungrateful”: Watch
Megan Thee Stallion has shared a new music video from her latest album Traumazine. Directed by Colin Tilley, the visual for her Key Glock collaboration “Ungrateful” opens with Meg in the bedroom, following her outside and to a funeral, where she meets a doppelgänger of herself dressed in white.

Sorry Share Video for New Song “Key to the City”: Watch
It’s meant as a kind of tender “fuck you” at the dying moment of a relationship you don’t necessarily want to end—when it’s hard to reconcile feelings of anger, jealousy, resentment etc. with the undeniable love you still have for that person. That crossover of pride and vulnerability led me to an image of a deer in the headlights. It’s about trying your hardest to retain control when you know you’re exposed emotionally, sexually, spiritually, everything. In the nude of the headlights, in the nude of someone’s love. The song came together after the original recording session and stemmed from Louis experimenting with new tunings to give us a bit of a push. This one has a Nick Drake feel. We wanted it to sound cinematic and lonely.
