SZA X Ben Stiller?
Ben Stiller channels rainy-day melancholy lip-syncing to SZA’s “Drive” in a video that’s equal parts wistful and weird. The lead single from Lana, the deluxe SOS re-release dropping literally today, sets the tone for a softer, introspective vibe. Between Stiller’s soulful car karaoke and bug-eyed SZA frolicking in the woods, this Bradley J. Calder-directed visual is a fever dream you didn’t know you needed to see.
