Superstar DJ and producer, David Guetta unveils a futuristic new music video for his recent acclaimed single ‘Big FU’ featuring Afropop sensation Ayra Starr and Chicago rap star Lil Durk.
Crafted by award-winning director Shapxo, the video features Lil Durk and Ayra Starr surrounded by a cast of body-painted characters in avant-garde outfits, performing against a stark white backdrop. The bold visuals are the perfect accompaniment for David Guetta’s sparse, forward-thinking arrangement on ‘Big FU’, as well as complimenting the eye-popping single artwork provided by critically acclaimed French street artist and previous Guetta collaborator, Mr Brainwash.
A refreshing change of pace after a string of dance floor anthems, ‘Big FU’ shows an unexpected, house-influenced side to David Guetta’s production skills, with the French mastermind crafting a slick groove around an infectious funk bassline. Ayra Starr’s powerful reverb-soaked vocals provide the unforgettable hook: “Big Fuck You to my replacement / I see you’re someone else’s favorite”. Melodic synth stabs and razor-sharp verses from Lil Durk complete the mix, resulting in a smooth and beautifully produced banger.
The hits never stop for David Guetta. Earlier this year he also conquered the global airwaves with the megahit ‘Baby Don’t Hurt Me’ featuring the two pop megastars Anne-Marie and Coi Leray. It arrived as the hotly anticipated follow-up to Spotify global #1 and streaming monster, ‘I’m Good (Blue)’. The track earned Guetta his eleventh Grammy nomination, receiving a nod for ‘Best Dance/Electronic Recording’, has garnered 2.2 billion global streams, charted at #1 on the official charts across 11 markets, and peaked at #1 at US Top 40 & US Dance Radio charts.
David Guetta has skyrocketed to one of the most streamed artists on Spotify globally, with over 42 billion global streams and selling over 50 million records worldwide.
