Calvin Harris has been teasing fans all week on Twitter with the promise of new material, and Scottish DJ and producer has finally unveiled the stunning visuals for his brand new single "Summer," the lead single from Harris' upcoming fourth studio album and the follow up to the record-breaking successful "18 Months." Set in a desert where Harris embarks on a gripping dramatic drag race with "Fast & Furious" star Jason Statham in the glamorous clip, which also sees a bevy of model beauties strutting around in skimpy clothing.
The party-ready dance-pop song finds Harris perform vocal duties as he singing about the euphoria of a summertime romance. The exuberant club-stomper marked the Scottish DJ's first time on the microphone since "18 Months"' second single, "Feel So Close." The song was played for the first time on UK's Capital Radio on March 14. peaking to Capital about his new music at the BRIT Awards last month, Harris said he was planning on releasing a series of singles first and had to convince a big name star about a possible collaboration.
The video starts with an ariel view of a long stretch of road, before showing the 30-year-old Scottish hitmaker hits the dessert in a relaxed pair of jeans and a white T-shirt singing "Summer" while walking on the desert road. Sporting designer stubble and side-parting, he looks every inch the understated urban pop star. Meanwhile, a lingerie-clad model watches him from a balcony before seductively reclining on a bed in what is one of Harris' more sensual videos.
Shortly after, Statham can be seen driving intensely down the road in a direct competition with Harris. With a determined look on his face, the character is reminiscent of his many other film roles, which sees him play a rough-around-the-edges bad guy. Fortunately, the battle doesn't last long, as the drag race is soon replaced by a late-night epic pool party, which sees bottles of champagne explode and a delighted Harris celebrate amongst plenty of bottle-popping and party-goers. Visually energetic, the clip is a perfect match for the new single which is eagerly anticipated.
