MGMT are gearing up for the release of their fifth studio album, and their latest single saw them joining forces with the perfect partner in crime. French singer Christine and the Queens is “Dancing in Babylon” with MGMT in their latest music video.
MGMT’s Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser described “Dancing in Babylon” as “a prodigious affair” that operates in six dimensions at once. John Cameron Mitchell and Julian Morris also make a cameo in this avant-garde music video, which hails from Ray Tintori, who shot visuals for MGMT’s biggest hits “Time to Pretend” and “Kids”.
Christine and the Queens described the process of making this video as “very rejuvenating and liberating”, adding she couldn’t wait to become a part of the MGMT universe.
“When they reached out for this power ballad, I was honored and also excited to dive into their dream, because I have the same all-encompassing approach with my work. I loved the backstory of the lyrics as well, and I work my lower register here more than usual,” said the singer in a press release.
“Dancing in Babylon” was released as the fourth single from MGMT’s upcoming fifth studio album Loss of Life, which will be released on February 23 via n Mom + Pop.
