Calvin harris releases the official video for his Jessie Reyez assisted single Hard To Love.
In the new video for the track, which Complex exclusively premiered Friday, Jessie Reyez heads out for a leisurely stroll and skateboarding session while bringing the song’s introspective lyrics to life.
In a statement, Reyez shared her appreciation for both Calvin and the video’s director, Philip Harris. “I love Calvin Harris and Philip Harris,” she said. “They are not brothers…but I love them both the same, music producer and video director. ❤️” Previously, Philip Harris directed Reyez’ video for “Blue Ribbon.
Reyez, named one of 13 rising artists from Toronto you should know by Pigeons & Planes earlier this year, recently broke down the inspiration behind her debut EP Kiddo. “So the balloon on [the Kiddo cover], my whole life I’ve been a child, I don’t think that’s gonna change,” Reyez said. “If I make it to 40, I’ll probably still be a kid walking around. It’s a nod to childhood. The fact that it’s a helium-filled balloon is because I’m rising above a lot of the bullshit that I went through.”
