Kaytranada and Childish Gambino play with ghosts in the “Witchy” video

Kaytranada has something sinister up her sleeve. The DJ and producer released a music video on Wednesday for “Witchy” featuring Childish Gambino, the 16th track from his latest album Timeless. The nearly four-minute video shows Kaytranada and Gambino grooving in a cool-toned studio when a ghostly figure begins to mirror Gambino's dance moves.

“It's voodoo/You make me feel like I'm floating/That's not a magic spell, you opened me up, girl,” Gambino says in the music video.

Timeless, Released on June 7, the album includes tracks like “Lover/Friend,” which chronicles the space in between relationships, as well as features from Tinashe, Anderson .Paak, Pink Pantheress and Mariah the Scientist.

In one Rolling Stone In the digital cover story, Kaytranada said he recorded a majority of the songs for his third album around the time he won a Grammy for his record Bubba in 2021. One of the songs was the synthesizer-heavy track “Witchy.” Kaytranada downplayed the artist collaborations, he said Rolling Star, “They’re not big, big names, but they’re definitely artists that I enjoy working with.”

Kaytranada, who combines traditional hip-hop and R&B with dance music, released his debut album 99.9% in 2016 with the standout single “You’re the One” featuring Syd from the Internet on vocals. Two years later, other songs, such as Kaytranada's version of “Be Your Girl” by Teedra Moses, helped him achieve commercial success.

The artist announced his Timeless Tour on July 16th with collaborator Channel Tres as a special guest and select appearances from Amaarae, Sam Gellaitry, Kitty Ca$h and Lou Phelps during the North American tour. Kaytranada has two shows at New York's Forest Hills Stadium on Friday and Saturday, with additional appearances in Philadelphia, Houston, Miami and Atlanta.
