Noah Lee reunites with 070 Shake for their third collaboration together, and another dreamlike offering, for Black Dress. The video is built around a haunting, hypnotic concept. It opens shortly after a plane crash, where we see 070 suspended in a tree, her parachute entangled in the branches, like a butterfly sprawled on a pin. From there, a surreal montage sees the artist float down to the ground, battle with the wind and transition into a new environment, constantly shapeshifting and fighting for her life. It's a hypnotic trip with a truly cinematic aesthetic and a lingering aftertaste. And a worthy addition to the previous collabs between Danielle Balbuena (aka 070 Shake) and Noah Lee - the stunning Nice To Have and last year's Skin & Bones.
