Watch: Erykah Badu's Flying Lotus-Directed Video For "Gone Baby, Don't Be Long"

The future's so bright, Erykah's gotta wear shades.
Turns out that the Bilal video directed by Flying Lotus and starring Erykah Badu that we shared with you exactly a week ago today was, indeed, just a precursor to the anticipated music video direction that we'd anticipated Flying Lotus provide a Badu track.

And "Gone Baby, Don't Be Long," the second video from Badu's New Amerykah, Part II: Return of the Ankh after her controversial "Window Seat" video (and not counting "Window Seat, Part II," which features Rick Ross and was given a video treatment despite not appearing on the disc), is every bit the visual trip we'd been expecting, featuring Badu rolling down a moving walkway (or is it an assembly line?) in a trippy illustrated futuristic setting. It's a fitting visual for one of New Amerykah, Part II's best tracks, for sure.

Give the clip a watch after the jump.

Watching videos via Vimeo is just excruciating.
