[King Gizzard]

Sort of sounds more like early Calvin

[zakman440]

Me gusta.

[Jack_]

wet right now

His last like what...five singles? Have been amazing, nice to hear his vocals again, hope this is good

[james130]

4 snippet up now, but it pretty much just sounds like the first.
Glad to hear he's on vocals again.

Hopes for another I'm Not Alone this era.

[Joelle.]

So I'm guessing this and Under Control are singles from a new album, at least he's finally stopped milking 18 Months.

[Jords]

:D

[Loukas]

hmmm, it will grow on me.

[Black Dagger]

I love it. Another hit for Harris.

[Shaun]

I'm hearing it for the first time and I'm already bored. So obvious and safe from him.

[Loukas]

I'm hearing it for the first time and I'm already bored. So obvious and safe from him.

I agree, i've listened a couple more times now and it hasn't really grown on me.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Its safe, euro and a little insipid. It needs a fresh mix by an edgier dj.

[Black Dagger]

I've already overplayed it, it comes across as generic summer song already. nvm

[Jack_]

SO good to hear him on vocals again

I'm sold on this, roll on summer :dance:

[Jack_]

Also I still :love: Under Control and Thinking About You

[Shaun]

yeah I prefer his vocals to most of the guests. Only ones I can recall enjoying are Kelis, Example (basically just Calvin though :laugh:) and Florence. And obviously the old-school ones that weren't important enough to get feature credits... (Ready for the Weekend, Flashback)

[Drew.]

Sounds too similar to Alesso, and not as good.

[Jordan.]

Meh

[Joelle.]

That breakdown 33 seconds in tho :lovedup:

[Jack_]

Here's the video (just released):

that opening shot on the balcony tho

[Me. I Am Salman]

god he's so ****ing terrible now

[Jack_]

This, Under Control, Thinking About You, Let's Go, We'll Be Coming Back, Drinking From The Bottle, I Need Your Love and We Found Love all say differently

[Shaun]

he strikes me as really in love with himself and idk why

[Jack_]

yeah no I agree but when you're ****ing Rita Ora, you've had nine top ten hits from your last album and you've gone from some long haired average looking guy to the marked improvement he is these days, I'm not really surprised it's gone to his head a little bit

[Raph]

I really enjoy this tune :D

[Shaun]

obviously reached #1 yesterday :think: i guess it's grown on me a bit... it's no Bounce/Feel so Close/Sweet Nothing/We'll Be Coming Back though :(

[Jack_]

Definitely one of my favourites of Calvin's now :love:

^ it's weird how people have different favourites, those first three are probably some of my least favourite singles of his actually :p

Summer, Thinking About You, Under Control, We Found Love and Flashback are top five for me

[Shaun]

oh no I just mean those were the first four cuts from 18 Months, and were soooo good :love:

my top five are probably I'm Not Alone, Feel So Close, Flashback, We Found Love (consider it more a Rihanna song though) and WBCB.

[Z]

I was completely unaware of this song until right now LOL, it does sound very 'Calvin Harris' (I know that sounds stupid, but I mean it just sounds like a retread of his usual sound, nothing new) but I guess it's a novelty that he's back on vocals again. It's nice enough, an early summer jam, probably released now with the hope that it'll get a bit of longevity out of the fact it's a song about... summer. I hope he's got some exciting stuff up his sleeve for his next single, I agree he's become a bit big headed but to be fair to him, it's not like it's unwarranted - he's really gone from strength to strength.
