He’s a singer, a songwriter, a DJ and a producer, but even all that doesn’t really describe the Scottish-born Calvin Harris. If you’ve heard his first hit Acceptable In the 80’s off his debut album I Created Disco, then you have an idea what Harris is all about.
His new album and the lead track Ready For the Weekend picks up right where Disco left off, and will provide the soundtrack to many a party this year.
REVIEW OF REVIEWS
If you’re unaware who Calvin Harris is, you’ve probably already been cutting a rug to one of his slick mixes. Like his upgrade of Katy Perry’s “Waking Up in Vegas” for example. It’s also likely that you’ve caught wind of his recent studio escapades with Jake Shears and Kylie Minogue. So you’d think with all that, plus a #1 album in his homeland, the man who created disco would be stomping around with a god complex. Instead, Harris channels charm and humility
The Dumfries born disk jockey and all round music maestro is riding high on the success of his latest album ‘Ready For The Weekend’ charting at number one in the UK, cementing his position as the premier recording DJ in Britain. His first album, the 80s inspired ‘I created Disco’, was responsible for the first of two hits in 2007, ‘Acceptable in the 80s’ and ‘The Girls’ respectively. While it never quite matched the chart success he is enjoying these days, it was largely responsible (for better or worse) in bringing the many ‘Born in the 80s’ slogan bearing t-shirts – which have become unavoidable on the high street fashion lines and summer festival scene – to infamous levels of prominence.
