In the new music video for the [Calvin Harris](http://time.com/4785837/best-songs-2017-so-far/item/calvin-harris-slide/) collaboration “Feels,” _Witness_ singer and [pop culture](http://time.com/4818752/katy-perry-on-award-shows/) lightning rod [Katy Perry](http://time.com/4815217/most-influential-people-internet/item/katy-perry-3/) ditches her platinum pixie cut and recent penchant for futuristic garb in favor of a long yellow wig and retro summer dress as she lounges casually in a tropical, color-changing field of flowers that hints of psychedelia. Fellow featured artist [Pharrell Williams](http://motto.time.com/4783097/pharrell-willliams-new-york-university-nyu-graduation/) sings from a rowboat in a color-changing pond, presumably where the so-called “feels” are caught, while [Big Sean](http://time.com/4662740/big-sean-i-decided-album-eminem/) raps while perched between well-behaved parrots. Even Calvin Harris himself pops up in a Hawaiian shirt and mustache to strum some guitar as the technicolor wonderland flashes into new hues. The campy new video directed by [Emil Nava](http://time.com/4373041/rihanna-calvin-harris-this-is-what-you-came-for-video/) is just the latest in Harris’s arsenal of summery new works off the forthcoming _Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1_, which is due out June 30 and also features advance singles [“Slide”](http://time.com/4785837/best-songs-2017-so-far/item/calvin-harris-slide/) with Migos and Frank Ocean and [“Rollin”](http://time.com/4777449/best-new-music-this-week-13/item/say-my-name-tove-styrke/) with Future and Khalid. They’ve all tapped a groovier vibe than the DJ and producer’s previous releases. (Consider: “Feels” is a far cry from last summer’s [“This Is What You Came For,”](http://time.com/4321566/song-of-the-summer-justin-timberlake-cant-stop-the-feeling/item/calvin-harris-ft-rihanna-this-is-what-you-came-for/) a smash hit with Rihanna that Harris’s ex Taylor Swift revealed she [had helped write](http://time.com/4404620/taylor-swift-wrote-this-is-what-you-came-for-calvin-harris-rihanna/). Nava directed that popular, trippy [music video](http://time.com/4373041/rihanna-calvin-harris-this-is-what-you-came-for-video/), too.)
