Zedd‘s latest single “Happy Now” with Elley Duhé has new music video feature to accompany the collaboration, however, it’s not what most viewers would expect. The track is a soothing summer jam, containing uplifting acoustics accompanied by euphoric synths and smooth bass. The track creates a paradoxical reality wherein on the surface the tune’s sound might suggest one thing, but may actually be masking the collaboration’s dark emotional atmosphere.

Directed by Dori Oskowitz alongside co-writers Sarah Aarons (“The Middle”) and Noonie Bao (Camila Cabello’s “Never Be The Same”), the video depicts a couples getaway somewhere in the deserted mountains, where the sun is shining and drinks are flowing. However, things are not as happy as they seem, as the story takes a thrilling turn. While dark at its core, there’s some smiles at the end when payback is achieved. See the full video here and catch Zedd headlining the first ever blockchain-powered music festival this October.
