AceShowbiz - The music video for Ariana Grande's new track "The Light Is Coming" is here for your viewing pleasure. The visuals was initially released exclusively on Reebok's website on June 20, but now fans are able to watch it on YouTube.
Nicki Minaj, who is featured on the song, kicks off the Dave Meyers-directed clip by delivering her verses in a black shiny coat and oversized goggles. The camera then changes its focus to Ariana, who is seen seductively caressing a large, lit-up ball and running around in the dark forest.
"How can they tell you s**t you've been through? They are so confused, who cares about the rationale?/ If it ain't your view," Ariana sings. "That's the bottom line/ Know-it-all/ Give you a box of chances, every time you blow it all/ As if it were shade, you would just blow it all."
"The Light Is Coming" is the second single off the songstress' highly-anticipated album "Sweetener", which is due out on August 17. Ariana previously revealed how the collaboration came to happen in an interview with The Fader, saying that she auditioned eight rappers to be a guest feature. Not finding the perfect rapper to be featured on the song, she asked Nicki whether she would be interested.
Ariana went on saying that she "went it my slippers and pajamas" when the raptress asked her to come hear the verse, noting that Nicki "killed it." She gushed over her frequent collaborator, "That's what Nicki Minaj does, she elevates a record. If you're going to have a rapper on a song, they need to really really really be there for a reason, and she does that every single time."
Ariana and Nicki have another music video coming soon. They recently unveiled a teaser for "Bed" music video, though it's still unclear when the full version will be released.
