With a week to go until Calvin Harris' star-studded fourth studio album "Motion" hits, the 30-year-old Scottish superstar DJ has shared a action-packed new video for his Big Sean-assisted new single "Open Wide," minutes after premiering the audio on New York City-based radio station Hot 97. Along with the refurbished tune comes the explosive video, featuring a gun shootout in the middle of a desert with Harris and Sean right in the middle of it.
More and more dance music producers have been venturing into hip-hop territory, and Harris has done so with "Open Wide," a tune that may sound very familiar to one of his current releases. "Open Wide," is not a new beat from Harris who previously used the same drop and a similar build up on a solo record called "C.U.B.A," Harris' instrumental Beatport No.1 hit, released back in June. Harris took advantage of the incredible success he achieved with "C.U.B.A.," and reworked it into a hip-hop masterpiece.
The big difference between the two songs is the Detroit rapper, who makes another foray into the world of EDM and adds in two energetic and suitable verses that laid on top of the house-meets-trap beat. "Open that shit wide, let me see how big your mouth is," raps Sean over Harris' signature production, adding, "This goes out to...You know who this goes out to." The U.K. hitmaker's new track "Wide Open," is a pretty generic sounding track, but it'll fit right into main stage festival sets.
As for the Emil Nava-directed cinematic clip, it's clearly a high-budget endeavor, featuring high speed racing, guns and pair up two gangs war showdown in the desert with Harris and Sean right in the middle of it that pops off right as the beat drops. As two opposing sides blast shot after shot at each other, all while a ballerina is gracefully dancing in between all of the sheer fuckery, inexplicably moving around while dodging bullets with the dexterity of Keanu Reeves in "The Matrix." It's aesthetically pleasing, but a bit confusing.
