Calvin Harris and Rihanna have released an official music video today for their collaborative single “This Is What You Came For,” in addition to dropping three official remixes from Dillon Francis, Grandtheft and R3HAB with Henry Fong.
The music video for “This Is What You Came For” features a simple but effective concept, depicting Rihanna as she sings the songs catchy vocals in front of a projection screen and rave style light show. Calvin Harris appears in the video as well, though for the most part the Scottish DJ is relegated to standing in the background.
The remix collection offers three new takes on the single that take it in different directions. Dillon Francis chops up Rihanna’s vocals over booming trap beats, while Grandtheft infuses some touches of future bass into the song with rhythmic synth patterns and flashy percussion. R3HAB and Henry Fong, meanwhile, drop a bouncy mix with hard hitting kicks and spastic sound design.
Calvin Harris and Rihanna have a massive hit on their hands with “This Is What You Came For,” and the new video and remixes certainly help cement it as a major release.
