Calvin Harris has released a magnanimous new video for his new energetic jam, "Sweet Nothing," which features the guest vocals from Florence Welch of Florence + The Machine, and is the fifth single feature on the Scottish DJ's upcoming third studio album, "18 Months," which will be released at the end of October, and Harris stated via his Twitter account that it would be "like a compilation album but with me all over it."
This electro-disco dance-hall banger is about a lover who gives such sweet nothing. viewers are introduced to a back story that explains the sad lyrics. The ballad follows the familiar pattern of taking love-strung vocals and layering them over a bouncy, ever-building beat. It's a classic Harris club tune supporting Welch' iconic, quivering vocals. Ironically, Harris' outstanding production beats perfectly pound away as Welch's powerful vocals emotionally help you sail away through the video's emotional story.
Welch never really strains herself, apparently saving her typically athletic singing for tracks that won't primarily be used at dance music festivals. The English songstress adds her throaty vocals to a throbbing dancebeat and delivers more aggressive and animated performance as the beat gets faster and pounds away halfway through the video. The result is propulsive and ear catching, while also providing some series drama. The video is a little cinematic catharsis, directed by Vincent Haycock and was filmed over two days in a Working Men's Club in Dalston, London.
The video rather than depicting the usual fist pumping club scenes took on narrative form, and see this odd pair taking on characters in a downer narrative. It begins with a desolate-looking Harris is sitting in a fast-food restaurant waiting for his food, while Welch Playing the role of an abused woman as a mysterious cross-dressing cabaret singer in a small, dingy, seedy, Serbian nightclub, pouring the pain and frustration of her unfulfilled life and fearful of her future into every revealing and explosive performance, which continues to be artfully intercut with Harris' unfolding situation and eventually it all converges.
