Danger Mouse and Black Thought have released another single in the buildup to their collaborative album Cheat Codes. The third single from the duo, “Aquamarine,” includes a guest appearance from UK vocalist and songwriter Michael Kiwanuka. Watch the music video for the track below.
“For ‘Aquamarine,’ when I heard the music I just had a feeling to sing about standing up for something that’s unique and following that path,” Kiwanuka shared in a statement. “I don’t know why but that’s what came out. Sometimes when you’re following something that’s unique to you it’s as if ‘enemies are all around.’ At times life can feel fragile like ‘everything’s burning down.’ For some reason the chords and music made me feel that way.”
Cheat Codes will be released on August 12 via BMG. The album includes previous singles “No Gold Teeth” and “Because,” which features guest verses from Joey Bada$$, Russ, and Dylan Cartlidge. Michael Kiwanuka’s Danger Mouse–produced album Kiwanuka was released in 2019.
This Sunday, July 17, Black Thought and his band the Roots are headlining the final night of Pitchfork Music Festival 2022. Find ticketing information below.
