Lil Yachty gave a trippy performance of “WE SAW THE SUN!” on Jimmy Kimmel Live! The performance occurred on Tuesday night (Oct. 17) with Yachty backed by his all-woman band.
“WE SAW THE SUN!” saw the Atlanta artist play into the song’s majestic production, singing about a lost love. Boat is seated in the audience at the beginning of the performance and appears to be watching himself singing on stage.
The camera then cuts to Yachty on half of the stage with his band jamming on the other side. About halfway through the show, a solar-powered CGI filter intensifies around Yacthy’s person. The stage is engulfed in lava-like rays as the artist hits the track’s crescendo. Lil Yachty can then be seen drenched in a smoky red haze as if he had completed a trip to Mars.
Yachty is currently on a worldwide tour for his alternative psych-rock album, Let’s Start Here. Yachty’s team first announced that the 39-stop global tour would kick off on Sept. 21 in Washington, D.C., at Echostage. The tour will then end on Dec. 17, 2023, at the Gasometer in Vienna, Austria.
Let’s Start Here released on Jan. 27, 2023, to critical acclaim. The psychedelic alternative rock album boasted songwriting credits from Daniel Caesar, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Fousheé, Mac DeMarco, and others.
