As well as contributing vocals to the track itself (as Blood Orange) Dev Hynes has directed the new visual, which sees the pair hanging out with friends in a lush, dreamlike garden. “Creating with Dev Hynes as director of this video was as effortless as creating the song together,” says Blanco in a statement on its release. “I have long admired that Dev has never compromised along his musical trajectory, offering us songs that play between disciplines and genres at the wave of a hand.” “This video was carefree and captured what I feel to be some quintessential summer moments,” they add. “Being with friends, being in nature, and having a sense of poise no matter your own personal thunderstorm.” Watch the video for “It’s Not My Choice” below.
