Summer was filled with amazing music collaborations, and Calvin Harris and Sam Smith gave us another one. The two artists just dropped a visual for their rhythmic house ballad Promises.
Glitzy new video serves as an ode to queer nightlife in New York and shows ballroom and house culture in its full light. It doesn’t have an elaborate plot, but it’s still a joy to watch the amazing shots from ballroom parties and hear testimonials of dancers who are part of this scene.
Some of the performers who accepted Smith’s invitation previously worked alongside the likes of Prince, Madonna and Rihanna! The video also features supermodel Winnie Harlow, who was more than happy to appear amongst the glitter and disco lights in this vibrant video.
Promises visual was directed by Emil Nava, who’s been working with Calvin Harris for years. He was also responsible of producing videos for his latest singles Nuh Ready Nuh Ready and One Kiss. All three songs will be featured on Harris’ upcoming sixth studio album.
