Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson, Nick Jonas and John Legend channel their inner ’80s music stars in the latest promo for the upcoming season of NBC’s The Voice.

In the just-released clip, the coaches re-create the music video for Rick Astley’s chart-topping single, “Together Forever.”

The video opens with Shelton reminiscing upon his time on The Voice. As he looks back through photos of previous seasons, he finds himself in an alternate universe with Clarkson, Jonas and Legend by his side.

Donning a tacky 1980s wardrobe and big hair, the coaches go on to perform the song while dancing and singing together.

When Shelton wakes up from what appears to be a daydream, Jonas joins him on the set.

“Hey Blake, it’s good to be back,” he says.

As Shelton stares back with a blank look on his face, he looks down to see the real Rick Astley wink back at him from a Polaroid photo.

The upcoming season of The Voice premieres on Monday, March 1 on NBC.
