“Summer” is as safe as safe lead singles get and “Under Control” - albeit a well-done dream collaboration - is only a few notches higher on the unique scale. Harris, wearing a gray Ole Miss t-shirt, is taking some. Now I’m not saying this album is all golden. PEOSTA It’s a hot June afternoon as Calvin Harris stands in the backyard batting cage at his parents' Dubuque County home. Where it lacks in number one hits and commercial gems that comprised over 50% of the former, Motion fills up with two distinct personas: on one hand there are electronic productions interesting enough to keep in a warm rotation thanks to grade-A songwriting and well-selected vocalists, paired with straight up big room (yeah, I said big room) tracks in collaboration with artists whose reputations are far from Calvin’s pop go-to’s. Adam Richard Wiles (born 17 January 1984), known professionally as Calvin Harris, is a Scottish DJ, record producer, singer, and songwriter. It’s Motion, and it’s even more EDM than it’s predecessor - and much less radio-friendly. But something just happened that should be making everyone else scratch their heads.Ĭalvin Harris swooped in and released his first studio album since the Michael Jackson-record breaking 18 Months. In fact, there are a handful of artists who distance themselves from EDM and do so successfully. Now I’m not calling anyone out anyone in specific and won’t be pointing fingers. Right? Or did one of the biggest superstars in the game just prove that ploy idiotic? Yeah, that sounds more like it. Oh, you’re just so f*cking trendy, you must sound like Disclosure and be so “underground” that you’re entitled to playing main stages at festivals.
