Nicki dropped another Tidal-only visual today: this time for “The Night Is Still Young,” the disco/funk/rap/arena-rock-head-banger number that appears on the back half of The Pinkprint. The clip fits the tone of the track, vibrant and relentlessly optimistic. The tempo change on the hook gives the director plenty of opportunities for slow-motion shots: people running, people making out, people pointing with excitement and awe at the moon/planet that seems about to hit the earth, etc.

Minaj is also expected to release a song with Jay-Z next week. It's a safe bet that their collaboration will not come out through Spotify. Read FADER's cover story on Nicki here.
