VIDEO: Major Lazer Debuts Groundbreakings Interactive Video for 'Know No Better'

Major Lazer debuts an interactive version of their video for "Know No Better," featuring Travis Scott, Camila Cabello and Quavo, today. One of the first ever videos of its kind, viewers can now switch between the dream and reality storylines portrayed in the original version, an experience facilitated by Eko in collaboration with director Philip Andelman. Watch it below and use the button in the top right corner to alternate between dream and reality.

"Eko's unique interactivity enables creators to connect with viewers unlike any other digital platform, fostering deep emotional connections with audiences by giving them agency to affect stories in real-time," says Executive Producer Lihu Roter. "Major Lazer's creative execution of this parallel story allows audiences to simultaneously step into the shoes of this young dreamer's reality and his dreams themselves, experiencing his aspirations coming true with him in the moment. It's a lean forward experience that's highly engaging, and indicative of what I believe mainstream storytelling will look like in the years to come."

"Know No Better"-streamed more than 150 million times to date-is the title track from the band's new EP surprise-released last month, two years to the day after their groundbreaking LP Peace is the Mission. The EP expands upon the group's global sound, taking inspiration from their travels to Pakistan, Cuba, South America, Africa and more while paying homage to their Caribbean roots.

Know No Better finds the trio collaborating with artists from the world over who share their mission of "making the world smaller by making the party bigger," with appearances from Machel Montano, Busy Signal, Sean Paul, Konshens, J Balvin, Nasty C, Ice Prince, Patoranking, Jidenna, Anitta, Pabllo Vittar and more, as well as production work from the likes of Jr. Blender, Boaz van de Beatz, King Henry and Maphorisa.

The new EP follows the worldwide success of "Run Up" featuring PARTYNEXTDOOR and Nicki Minaj, "Cold Water" featuring Justin Bieber and MØ and "Lean On" with DJ Snake featuring MØ, one of the most successful songs of all time.

Furthermore, Major Lazer's documentary Give Me Future, filmed at their historic, 400,000 person 2016 show in Havana, Cuba, premiered earlier this year at Sundance to rave reviews and is set for release this fall.
