Scottish Electronica musician Calvin Harris has proven himself a force to be reckoned with and is back with a brand new music video for his moody dance jam "You Used To Hold Me." Harris announced on his twitter message Wednesday morning at 4:56a.m. that "I've got a new video for You Used To Hold Me here!" I can never really take Harris seriously until you hear his music.
The Scottish artist has hit big in the UK and other parts of the world with his pop/synth/electroclash sound, which mixes some disco influences with his quirky vocals and always catchy songs, such as No.1 single, trance-pop masterpiece "I’m Not Alone". Harris produces, writes and sings most of his own stuff and has also worked with people like the Kylie Minogue and UK rapper Dizzee Rascal. "You Used To Hold Me" is an upcoming 2010 single release from the 25-year-old Scottish Pop/Dance singer and DJ's fifth single taken from his decent sophomore studio album "Ready For The Weekend," out now on Fly Eye/Columbia/Sony, and reached No.1 in the UK Album Charts in August. The song will be released on February 8, 2010 from Ultra Records.
Favoring a naughty schoolboy look that makes him seem even younger than his already tender years (22 when his first major-label album was released), Scottish artist, producer, and remixer Harris has a similarly youthful and forward-looking approach to his music. Skipping the usual apprenticeship in the clubs or on indie labels, Harris went from posting his own D.I.Y. electroclash music online through /MySpace and similar sites to signing with the multinational giant EMI almost in a single step. No surprise since he now has over a million sales on his last album worldwide!
Like many of Harris's video clips, this one involves a pack of model-perfect girls wearing skimpy clothes gyrating across the screen, except this one has a monster truck in it. The car-crunching video is like a car show with a slew of dancing women amongst Harris DJ'ing in front of a monster truck. How many times has your heart been broken, feeling like you got ran over or hit by a truck? That's what I got from this video, but I'm sure your interpretation may be something else.
