Kendrick Lamar and SZA made quite a splash with their collaboration “Luther”, and they’ve just given us one final missing piece of the puzzle. The music video for this chart-topping song is finally here, and it’s as romantic as it gets.

The Karena Evans-directed visual takes us to an empty hotel, where Lamar and SZA can be seen spending some quality time with their love interests. The Nigerian-American artist Annahstasia Enuke plays Lamar’s significant other, while model Geron McKinley portrays SZA’s boyfriend.

“Luther” was featured on Lamar’s sixth studio album GNX, and it initially debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. It experienced a rise in popularity after SZA joined Lamar to perform it live during his Super Bowl LIX halftime show performance. It eventually hit No. 1 and spent seven consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart, as of last week.

Lamar’s collaboration with SZA spans a full decade, and they’re gearing up to embark on a Grand National Tour by each other’s side. They’re set to perform 39 shows across North America and Europe, starting with a concert at the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on April 19, while the tour will conclude with the final show at the 3Arena in Stockholm, Sweden on August 9.
