Miley Cyrus and The Flaming Lips (2018)
An equally weird and awesome combination of a simultaneously weird, frightening, and adorable pop star… and an awesome psychedelic indie grunge band. What could go wrong? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

“Bed Peace” – Jhene Aiko and Childish Gambino (2013)
The video for this single features Aiko and Gambino re-enacting Yoko Ono and John Lennon’s “Bed-Ins for Peace” protest movement, which draws a compelling comparison between the two pairs. Aiko’s embracing of her Japanese heritage and Ono-like singular artistic voice match well with how both Gambino and Lennon’s music have evolved to encompass larger political topics over time.
