LOS ANGELES — Quavo has released the official music video for “Trance,” directed by British-Nigerian filmmaker Daps and produced by Sovereign Bloc.

Shot in Marbella, Spain, the video turns the Pharrell Williams-produced track into a sun-drenched Euro summer fever dream: part fashion editorial, part Mediterranean chase, part candlelit late-night fever.

Moving through narrow Spanish streets, café terraces, poolside heat, coastal glamour, and a dinner table that tips from elegance into controlled chaos, “Trance” captures Quavo in a world of seduction, movement, and atmosphere.

Structured around four escalating worlds — the streets, the café, the pool, and the dinner table — the video opens with freedom and ends in beautiful, expensive chaos. Each location brings its own rhythm, colour, and temperature, moving from sun-baked stone and street-level pursuit to blue water, candlelight, wine glasses, and the charged intimacy of a night that slowly slips out of control.

The video opens in the bright heat of Spain, where old stone streets, café terraces, and sun-bleached architecture create a timeless backdrop for a loose cat-and-mouse pursuit. Quavo moves through the location with ease, performing as the camera follows him through a world that feels both lived-in and heightened.

As the track builds, the world expands. A private villa and blue pool become an exhale before the mood shifts again, with bodies, reflections, water, heat, and sunlight creating a language of luxury and desire. By night, the video moves into a candlelit dinner setting that begins with old-world elegance before loosening into something more charged, excessive, and alive.


Shot using a mixed-media approach, “Trance” combines rich 16mm film with camcorder footage to create a visual world that feels both cinematic and immediate. The 16mm lends the video warmth, grain, and a timeless sophistication, while the camcorder material brings a raw, first-person energy—as if the viewer has been pulled inside the trip rather than simply watching it from a distance.

For Daps, the aim was to create a film that felt cinematic without losing the instinctive energy of a great music video.

The video’s visual language blends fashion-led composition with a more tactile, observational energy. Warm grain, saturated Mediterranean colour, intimate close-ups, and looser handheld moments combine to create a world that feels glamorous but never static. The result moves between luxury and rawness, performance and atmosphere, old-world romance and contemporary rap energy.

“Trance” also reflects Sovereign Bloc’s growing presence across music, culture, and visual world-building. Founded by Daps, the filmmaker-led production company was built for directors and artists looking to create work with authorship, scale, and cultural force.

Edited by Tunde Cutz, with colour by Rachel Kong and FX by Rick Lancaster, the video continues Daps’ long-standing connection to music culture, following influential work for artists including Migos, Stormzy, Wizkid, Davido, and Drake, as well as recent commercial projects including DICK’S x adidas’ “Where It All Kicks Off,” Sprite’s revived “Obey Your Thirst” campaign, and Google Pixel x NBA’s “The Pick-Up.”

Pharrell Williams produced “Trance” and is also working with Quavo on the wider album project.
