With Kendrick Lamar leading the way creatively, the soundtrack to the upcoming Black Panther film has quickly become one of the most anticipated albums of 2018. Just a few days before fans get to wrap their minds around the entire project, Lamar decided to drop the first music video related to the album, a stunning visual tied to the song he collaborated on with fellow TDE stalwart SZA named “All The Stars.”
As you’ve come to expect from a Kendrick Lamar-affiliated music video, the imagery is absolutely jaw-dropping. The clip opens with a shot of a sea of hands waving to and fro under a darkened sky, before panning to a visual of Kendrick in a boat gliding over the in a boat. SZA enters the scene about half-a-minute later, dancing on an astral plane out in space, singing between the stars. The whole presentation as directed by Dave Meyers and “The Little Homies” is intensely colorful; almost spellbinding in the way it unfolds.
