If the summer has been feeling like a foreign concept to you lately, Harry Styles is here to give you a sweet taste of the light of the sun and the joy you’ve been missing. The Fine Line the singer dropped his
highly anticipated music video for “Watermelon Sugar”, and it is more than a fun, colorful trip to the beach. Unlike its innovative performance in The Late Late Show‘s “pedestrian Crossing, the Musical” segment, the “Watermelon Sugar” video is more like a glass of cool water when you’ve been parched for days. Especially when you have been burned by human contact, as the video began with the warning that it is “dedicated to play.” The dedication that fits, since all of the video is a sensory journey down memory lane, recalling the days that it smells like coconut-scented sunscreen, sand in places you can’t mention, and “that summer feelin’.”
Oceanside at a beach that reminds us of One Direction “What Makes You Beautiful” video, Styles and a group of beautiful people writhe sensually on beach towels and eating voraciously in the watermelon, which will no doubt be the fodder for many a summer meme. If the slow pace and the lyrics of songs such as “I just wanna taste it” and “I want your belly and that summer feelin'” had no idea of what type of high Styles is singing, the video will fill in the blanks. Ah, to be young and the feeling of the heat of the summer. We’re definitely adding to our list of favorite videos of the Address alum.
