Calvin Harris x Ellie Goulding 'Miracle' by Taz Tron Delix

Rob Ulitski - 28th Mar 2023

Taz Tron Delix directs the ethereal promo for Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding's collab on Miracle. 

The otherworldly video is inspired by the Nineties-style trance elements in the track, exploring a futuristic clash of desert landscapes, anachronistic styling and mysterious movement, revitalising and contemporising the transcendent aesthetics that were born out of the original movement. 

The video cuts between Ellie wearing a jewelry filled tiara and leather outfit with the look of a powerful Queen on an elevated platform surrounded by what appears to be worshippers in sleek beige suits and balaclavas. The track progresses they march in a strong manner, break-out dancing and wave their hands towards Ellie in a worshiping stance.

We then witness different groups of people embracing one another mostly in masks, helmets faces covered, buried in sand, twisting through colourful smoke creating a mysterious tone.

Blending a whole host of unusual elements into an oneiric experience, it really is a visual feat that demands your full attention, and elevates the track to a whole new artistic plane.
