Desire is getting ready for her long-awaited new album Escape on Italians Do It Better, and we're now getting another taste via the newly shared track "Black Latex," which arrives alongside a new video.

Led by Montreal's Megan Louise and Johnny Jewel, "Black Latex" finds Desire getting hella dark, dropping some spoken word Francais on us before some crushing wide-angle synths hit. The track comes with some equally eerie visuals, with Louise being shrouded in some blood-red video effects as the track plays out. That said, the song definitely still packs a pop punch and even includes some classic-sounding Desire synth strings.

Check out "Black Latex" for yourself below.

Escape marks the first Desire album since 2009's II, which featured the Drive OST hit "Don't Call." The record is expected out sometime this summer.
