Mykki Blanco shares Woodkid collab "High School Never Ends"

The track is produced by Woodkid, with the accompanying short film directed by Matt Lambert (Iconoclast) and made in partnership with The FADER.

"To me the film is nothing more than a story of love and hate,” says Lambert. “It's a love story wrapped in the cyclical nature of conflict that humans seem to thrive on. It's a story of the moral relativity and polarizing forces of humanism and a simultaneous misanthropy that seems to live in all of us.”

The film was shot in Freyenstein in Germany, and sees Martin Ruhe (Control/Anton Corbijn) act as director of photography.

”No one has seen this side of Mykki Blanco yet, and though The Mykki of 'High School Never Ends’ is a character, it is the closest to who I actually am and I felt a trust in director Matt Lambert to portray this,” adds Blanco.

“I have been living in Europe on and on since 2012 when my career began because audiences seem to accept and acknowledge my creative work there on a larger scale… I'm saying this because I've seen Europe change, I have seen the surface of acceptance and the novelty of my brown skin become a frown in a public square, a belligerent rant in grocery store with a cashier telling me to "Go Back to My Own Country… This story is about outsiders, forbidden love... when the Far Left & the Far Right are willing to go to any extreme to prevail in their truth”
