After more than 25 years in the game, most acts start to slow down. Not m-flo. The legendary Japanese hip hop crew consisting of Verbal, Taku, and Lisa just dropped ‘ELUSIVE’, and it’s a sparkling reminder that age is just a number when your sound is timeless.

With its shimmering synths and cosmic bounce, ‘ELUSIVE’ feels like a love letter to the mid-2000s peak Neptunes era where futuristic beats met feel-good grooves. Lisa eases in with her signature soulful touch, before Verbal slides in with razor-sharp bars, trading lines in a seamless back-and-forth that feels part flirty duet, part time-travel dialogue from the past into 2025.

The video doubles down on the future nostalgia concept, serving up retro-futurist visuals like egg chairs straight out of a space lounge, headphones morphing into stunner shades, and a robotic MPC performance courtesy of Haku. It’s playful, stylish, and just a little bit surreal — exactly what you’d hope from m-flo in 2025.

With ‘ELUSIVE’, m-flo isn’t just back; they’re proving that their groove is as ageless as ever.
