A$AP Rocky Debuts New Track And Video 'LSD'

(Radio.com) A$AP Rocky takes a trippy vacation in Japan in his latest video, for the appropriately titled "LSD." The song is the first cut off of his long-awaited At. Long. Last. ASAP., which is due June 2. The song is produced by Danger Mouse: It's a woozy, crawling beast, with plucked guitar lines, tumbling keys, and buzzing synths.

For most of the song Rocky is singing, and he sounds great, like a more abstract, intoxicated version of Frank Ocean, almost. "Love, sex, dreams," he croons. "Can you feel it?"

The video pays direct homage to Gaspar Noe's Enter the Void, a druggy journey down the rabbit hole set in neon-drenched Tokyo. Colors swirl and shift, signs flash, the camera floats around on its own terms and objects mutate and expand. We dive into a fluorescent cup of water; a lantern dissolves in a haze of gold and red.

All in all, the song and video are a strong new direction for A$AP Rocky--closer to straightforward pop music than anything he's done before, without leaving behind his warped sensibility. Watch the video here.
