Dakota Payne Releases Smoke & Mirrors Music Video

Just in time for a sexy weekend, one of our faves Dakota Payne released the music video for his latest single, "Smoke & Mirrors." We know that Dakota is not just a fabulous porn star. He has an extensive career in styling, production, art, drag, and music. This latest single is Dakota in his most mature, and yes, we get hot boy dancers, porn stars, and Dakota shirtless, but it is a bit more polished and a bit more grown-up. He's taken a few steps back from the adult world to really focus on the art side of his career path. And we love it.

Released under his art house House of Payne, "Smoke & Mirrors" was created for the gay porn series "Friends in Heat" produced by independent and award-nominated Luxxxe Studios. The series' leads, Brian Bonds and Justin Yurmouth, make a fun appearance in the video as well.

The video's director, Ron Katagiri, tells us “It is always an amazing experience working with Dakota because of his incredible vision and creativity. This project is extra special because we have JD Daniels of Luxxxe Studios producing
the music video which features 2 of their gorgeous talents, Brian and Justin. The visuals we've created are some of Dakota's best so far and I cannot wait to create more moving forward.”

Dakota Payne shared in a press release, “The journey of bringing 'Smoke & Mirrors' to life has been amazing. JD Daniels having the faith in me to not only executive produce the song, but also the video means so much to me. I got to work with such phenomenal talent."

The song was released by itself this last October to coincide with Friends in Heat's 2nd season, and we got a sneak peek of the filming of the music video, check it out:
