Kaytranada and Childish Gambino suit up for a supernatural experience in their new “Witchy” music video, which dropped on Wednesday (Oct. 2).

The collaborators and RCA labelmates post up in an intimate studio while an assortment of mesmerizing characters (and a white cat) — like four ballerinas who magically transform into an incredibly flexible male dancer — leave them in a trance from the other side of the glass. Kaytranada and Gambino (also known as Donald Glover) catch a vibe with their synchronized moves and custom Gucci suits, courtesy of stylist Von Ford.


“Witchy” is from Kaytranada’s third solo studio album Timeless that he released on June 7, 2024. The 21-track album reached No. 28 on the Billboard 200, No. 6 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and No. 2 on Top Dance/Electronic Albums. He’s currently on the Timeless Tour, which wraps on Nov. 9 at the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center.

Glover announced he was postponing the remaining North American dates of his final tour as Childish Gambino “to focus on my physical health for a few weeks,” he wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter). The trek was in support of Gambino’s fifth and final studio album Bando Stone and the New World, which was released on July 19, 2024. The 17-song set peaked at No. 16 on the Billboard 200 and No. 2 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.

Festivals News

Vancouver Folk Music Festival has announced the appointment of Corbin Murdoch as its new executive director. He is a local arts-scene veteran who recently served as the executive director of the Dawson City Music Festival and earlier worked with Theatre Replacement and the Cultch in Vancouver.

The VFMF is now heading into its 49th year. The Georgia Straight notes that "one of Vancouver’s longest-running cultural events, the festival survived a rough patch as the world was emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic." In Jan. 2023, the fest announced the cancellation of that summer's fest, but a public outcry saw that decision reversed and the event has continued annually since then.
