David Guetta decided on a wild west theme for his new "Lovers On The Sun" music video. The track is the fourth single and the the title track taken from Guetta's newest four-track EP, along with "Shot Me Down," "Bad," and "Blast Off." French electro music producer and DJ teased the follow-up to 2011 breakthrough LP "Nothing But The Beat" with a trio of unusually hard electro-house buzz singles before retreating to more familiar ground on the Avicii-assisted, Sam Martin-voiced "Lovers On The Sun."
The blockbuster collaboration is one of those euphoric, vocal anthems you're probably expecting with a release like this. This summer jam is catchy and upbeat and features American singer-songwriter Sam Martin on vocals and was co-produced by Avicii and plugs into a similar country/folk/EDM hybrid as the Swedish DJ's own "Wake Me Up." This features guitar work by Mike Einziger of the rock band Incubus. The multi-instrumentalist also co-wrote the track.
The song is heavy on guitar and whistling, reminiscent of numerous westerns. The feel of the song (except for the parts when Martin cuts out) are a bit like the music from Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained. The song now gets a suitably epic visual starring Goodfellas actor Ray Liotta who portrays a villain who intent on torturing our hero when he is saved by a poncho-wearing babe with magical powers. It's refreshing to see a comparatively big budget video in the DIY era and the French DJ makes every cent count with a special effects-filled extravaganza.
The Marc Klasfeld-directed clip is western-themed, as the sound of the song dictates, follows Liotta and his villain friends on a chase through the desert looking for a cowboy and a girl with super powers after escaping from being tortured. After a long night of love-making and hiding, the two are found the next morning by Liotta and instead of killing them in cold blood, he decides to do challenge them to a duel. Oblivious to her magical powers, Liotta thinks this is a good idea until he goes to draw and she uses the power of the sun to melt his and his partners in crimes weapons and scare them away. It's a clever twist on your typical spaghetti western-Themed with a better than average soundtrack.
