New Calvin Harris Video - "Ready For The Weekend"
The video for Calvin Harris's "I'm Not Alone" featured the Scottish electro singer-songwriter as a knife-wielding mad scientist surrounded by female dancers/test subjects (and, for some reason, a kid with his teddy bear). In "Ready For The Weekend," the title track from his forthcoming second album, the dancing girls don red leotards to match Harris' magic red mirror/portal, red shirt, red furniture, etc., until they change into blue and yellow zip-up bathing suits, expanding the palette and multiplying endlessly, just in time for the weekend.
The "Ready For The Weekend" single is out 8/10. The album of the same name is out 8/17 via Fly Eye/Columbia/Sony. (You already know this. It was advertised during the entire clip.)

I love Calvin but I'm really not digging this song or the video. The mirror/window thing is cool, but it kinda reminds me of a target commercial.

Better than the last single, at least.

Jesus this song is AWFUL. Eye candy is OK in it, but seriously, this is steaming bad.
Score = -1
Ugh. This is a Michel Gondry rip off. The guy is a dork and the song is terrible. Go to youtube and rewatch the brilliant video for Let Forever Be to see this done properly.
Score = 1
I'm sorry but for as horrible as this song might be and as cliché as this video might be, I just can't resist watching it for one reason and one reason only...
GIRLS! GIRLS! GIRLS!

Yes.
Seems custom made for a Target advert. Looks like it has the same director too.
Score = 0
Catchy hook.
They don't have Target commercials in Great Britain, therefor Im sure he doesnt know about or care about any visual similarities.
