Toro Y Moi’s Dreamy ‘Heaven’ Video With Kevin Abstract Recalls A Carefree Young Friendship

by

Things used to be so simple. June hit, summer vacation started, and you had all day to do whatever you wanted for three months — even if all you wanted to do was nothing at all. Things were even simpler in the time period depicted in the video for Toro Y Moi‘s new Kevin Abstract-featuring song “Heaven,” before computers were the size of Pop Tarts, fit in your pockets, and demanded your attention all hours of the day and night.

Even friendships were easier; the youthful stand-ins for Toro and his childhood friend run through flower-dappled fields and splash in ponds in the wilderness surrounding their suburban housing development. It’s cute and innocent — sure, the seeds of a later romance can be seen, but for now, these kiddos are more concerned with enjoying their idyllic summer days to their fullest.

“Heaven” is the second single from Toro’s upcoming album Hole Erth, following his June track “Tuesday,” another nostalgic look at the singer-producer’s laid-back childhood. That seems to be the running theme for Hole Erth, which is due on September 6 via Dead Oceans and features appearances from Don Toliver, Duckwrth, Kenny Mason, and more.

Authorities in the Dominican Republic officially charged Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco yesterday(July 9) with sexual and psychological abuse of a 14-year-old girl.

Prosecutors decided to press charges four days after the initial July 5th deadline expired, six months after a judge ordered that Franco be investigated in connection with sexual abuse of a minor.

Attorney General Office spokesperson Nairobi Viloria confirmed that prosecutors confirmed presented the final accusations to a judge, but she did not provide any further details about the charges. Prosecutors allege that the minor’s mother, who is currently on house arrest, was paid thousands of dollars to consent to the relationship, which lasted four months.

The 23-year-old is currently on administrative leave from Major League Baseball until July 14.

Franco’s lawyer Jay Reisinger said he could not comment because Franco had not received formal notification of any charges. Tampa Bay’s All-Star shortstop has not played since Aug. 12 while MLB continues its investigation into the charges.

Franco was signed to a $182 million, 11-year contract in November 2021.
