Pharrell Williams has reunited with electronic music masterminds Daft Punk and filmmaker Edgar Wright to create a fun music video for their collaboration "Gust of Wind," off Williams' latest album, "G I R L." Autumn is here, so take a stroll through the woods with Williams and his the French DJ duo pals Daft Punk as they entering some kind of enchanted forest full of fairy-like girls who dance around majestically.
The vibe on this new track is just what you'd expect from Williams and Daft Punk - electropop. It finds Williams in love with a lady who lifts him up mentally and emotionally like a force of nature. The song was inspired by Williams' wife, model and designer Helen Lasichanh. He explained to The Sun: "That song came to me in a dream. It's the only time it has ever happened to me in my life."
The 41-year-old entertainer continued: "I woke up and sang them to my girl and said: 'Babe, this is about you. It's about the divine force you have which could be compared to a gust of wind.' I told her: 'Like a gust of wind, you remind me there's someone out there who ushers in the air as I need to power in myself. And my wife was overjoyed when she first heard that song," he added. "She was also a little teary-eyed but then we have the Robots on there. It was like, 'Wow! Those guys are like, the next level."
Throughout the vibrant visuals, "The Voice" coach rocking huge colorful safety pin strolls walks through a fall-covered forest with groups of interstellar gymnasts performing choreographed maneuvers where he comes across two giant boulders in the shape of the Robots' helmets hover around him before final takeoff. The Baes dance alongside Williams and the autumn leaves before the boulders light up and ascend into the sky. This is simultaneously a very simple video and one stuffed with a bunch of effects and complicated choreography. Despite all that, Wright's direction really serves the song here. The song's a smooth jam, and so is the video.
