Calvin Harris Shafts HAIM With Low Budget For "Pray To God" Video

While Calvin's latest collaboration with Ellie Goulding is sorta kinda flopping here in America and someone at Columbia sniffing crack decided to release "Open Wide" to rhythmic radio, he's already started promoting one of the better cuts from "Motion" elsewhere.
"Pray To God" featuring rock goddesses Haim, is already charting quite nicely in Oceania and will act as the sixth overall single. To an extent, it's a poor man's "Sweet Nothing" but it still sounds great, with Calvin still keeping the sister's signature sound still intact over seas of synth and vogue worthy drops.
While the song snatches almost every collaboration track Harris has done so far, the video does not. Though will will more than likely become a top ten hit in every major music market, Calvin Columbia Records decided to give Haim enough money to rent a green screen, a bunny and a few circus animals and said "make a video". I commend the band for being able to make the best of a bad situation by delivering "American Horror Story: Coven" (especially Este with that smoky eye and unbothered facial expression)...
It still doesn't excuse the fact that the video looks cheap, but Big Sean's collab got to shoot on location, looking like a "Fast and The Furious" movie.
