Watch Charli XCX and Rina Sawayama turn cult leaders in ‘Beg For You’ video
Charli XCX and Rina Sawayama have shared a video for their new collaboration, ‘Beg For You’ – you can watch it below.Released last month, the pair’s new track – which samples September’s 2006 dance-floor filler ‘Cry For You’ – is the latest preview from Charli’s upcoming studio album ‘CRASH’, due out March 18.According to a press release, the accompany video “encapsulates cult theology within popular culture; worship of an image, obsession of a higher power, ritualistic and superstitious practices and the sacrifice for perfection”.In the Nick Harwood-directed clip, Charli and Sawayama lead a cult through the lonely plains of Lancaster, California, accompanied by two characters depicting Jesus and Satan.Towards the end of the video, the two pop stars perform a joint ritual on a raised platform as the cult dances around them in a circle. Charli then cuts her hand and squeezes the blood into a pool, which Jesus drinks from using a ladle.
