Calvin harris - Heatstroke

[Repost from the soca thread] I've been sleeping on so much soca this year but the parallel riddim is just perfect for the warm weather we're having atm:

only calvin harris song i like is slide

from the new ones i mean

very fun lil alt R&B jam

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kg7hAbzuaw4

so much fun listening to this thread. the orgone track is great, parallel riddim great, nilufer yanya, turbotito...

nothing has quite knocked "my ting" off the throne yet though imo

Oooh, I like that.

On the Serotonin Express to New Mills Central with Lord Commix, dont be late!

so these Calvin Harris singles are pretty strong.
I find "Heatstroke" is the catchiest but "Slide" and "Rollin" have a great groove.
It's quite impressive to release 3 singles of that level prior to the album.
He seems set to rule the summer !

aw ok, apparently that's nothing new for him...

Harris currently holds the record for the most top 10 songs from one studio album on the UK Singles Chart with nine top 10 entries, surpassing Michael Jackson. In October 2014, he became the first artist to place three songs simultaneously on the top 10 of Billboard's Dance/Electronic Songs chart

the pro-calvin sentiments on this thread are upsetting

Calvin Harris vs Jamie XX vs Diplo

are you trying to hurt me or something

just trying to show you a vision of hell so you can compare it to all the other good stuff in this thread

Ah that Ghetts track is awesome! Just heard it for the first time this weekend via the Gorgon City remix. I think I prefer the original one.

so much of it for me is just how baseline thrilled they are to be singing it together

the pro-calvin sentiments on this thread are upsetting

eheh, yeah, although I didn't really know him before this thread (as I said, I'm disconnected from the mainstream ! I'm even surprised to find out it's a brit making these rnb songs...), I sense there might be something VERY not cool in enjoying stuff by him...
but what can I say, these 3 tracks ARE good !

Might as well also give my apology: As I said before I haven't liked anything by Calvin Harris prior to these singles. I'm not mindblown about them but him suddenly doing this breezy g-funk found out of nowhere is a nice surprise and I really like that sound it still hasn't beaten to death in my ears (had he even hinted at it before? I don't remember any of his previous singles sounding like this)

I'll have to admit he's really good at using his guest spots in every single I've heard of him tho even the annoying ones.

he has some ok filter house tunes, and 'we found love' is one of the best songs ever. he'll probably go to heaven.

definitely bemusedly looking forward to 'funk wav bounces' after harris' pre-summer hat trick

you guys are overrating the shit out of these middling calvin harris records

I'm no expert, but "How Deep Is Your Love" is better than the Bee Gees one.

Oops, sorry, thought I was posting in the "post a controversial opinion" thread.

it's not even as good as the Ratpure one!

regarding Sacred Paws, I know it's not new but I really like "Everyday".
Perfect spring/summer track.
Some kind of mix between the Go-Go's and Vampire Weekend.

I love this.

nice call on that one longneck

^^
One Source, the album it's from is pretty good too (though stylistically different). "Moteng" is a banger too.

The JULS! The Summer! The Summer! The JULS!:

Juls ft. Nonso Amadi & Maleek Berry, "Early":

Burna Boy, "Rock Your Body" (produced by Juls):

And not by Juls, but they do fit the mood:

Kwamz & Flava ft. Bisa Kdei, "Take My Hand":

Ajay, "Ondo" (thanking Lex for alerting me to this one):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EbKI2T7Jbg

Oh, I hadn't heard that new Kwamz, Flava & Kdei. Nice one!

you guys are overrating the shit out of these middling calvin harris records

OTM

they are maybe 15% as good as Fireball by Pitbull. which is my house's new favorite song btw.

You guys are also giving Calvin Harris much more hate than what he deserves. It's not like he's killing puppies, he just makes crappy music and there's much more worse offenders like say, her ex-gf.

btw, I've been making my own 2017 summer jams playlist over the past week. If anyone's interested you can find it here.

(Stopping each of these at 100 tracks, so I'll be compiling a new one starting with the selections from Matt that I was missing.)

Khuli Chana track has gone immediately into my 'New Cool Songs 2017' Spotify archive.

There's also a fresh remix of Alkaline's Extra Lesson with Kojo Funds and Chip that definitely belongs in this thread:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWs2wSsAzMA

Down with the idea of that but Chip should not form part of even a balanced diet these days.

new amadou & maryam is great. electric guitar, roland handclaps and stonking bassline

by the way there are some great remixes of that turbotito track by in flagranti and jkriv
