In this mesmerising Video directed by Daniel Sanwald, Kelela glimmers in a dark room as she lets her world-weary voice and eye-locking stare do the work. Then the big moment occurs about halfway through, when we watch her cut-off her signature waist-length dreads and transform into a acid-like glowing, neon-tinged anime character.
Hallucinogen is out May 5
