During the first weekend of Coachella 2023, many patrons (and even fans tuning in at home), labelled Kali Uchis' set as one of their favourites. Not only did the bilingual songstress tantalize the crowd with her ethereal vocals, but she also brought out an impressive roster of guests to help her. Among them were Tyler, The Creator, who brought plenty of energy to "See You Again," as well as Omar Apollo and her boyfriend, Don Toliver.

As the Virginia-born starlet prepares to take the stage again, she has another gift for her listeners. Following the arrival of her Red Moon In Venus album earlier this year, Uchis has finally dropped off a music video for one of the tracklist's most popular titles, "Moonlight." The pretty and pink visual sees Kali linking up with friends like Cindy Kimberly for a slumber party, during which they snapped digital camera selfies and shared plenty of laughs.

Elsewhere in the new visual, we see Uchis looking as stunning as ever on the hood of a car while basking in the moon's glow. "I just wanna get high with my lover / Veo una muñeca cuando miro en el espejo / Kiss, kiss," she sings on the catchy chorus of "Moonlight." We also see nostalgic dolls at the beginning of the footage, reflected in the lyrics, "Looking dolly, I think I may go out tonight / I just wanna ride, get high in the moonlight."

It remains unclear if the same surprise guests we previously mentioned will be joining the 28-year-old for her set later today (April 22), or if she has another roster lined up for attendees to enjoy. Aside from making waves with her own performance, she also joined Kaytranada for his highly anticipated concert at the festival, which also saw the producer tap Aminé.
