There is a god, and his name is Calvin Harris.
Hopefully this won’t go down as one of those posts where I profess my love to something only to grow sick of it a week later. I hate those posts. I think this one will stand the test of time and my musical ADD. Anyway.
Calvin Harris, the UK producer responsible for “Dance Wiv Me,” is a cool guy with crazy sunglasses. His album, Ready For The Weekend, was just released and I have given it a listen. It is glorious. In fact, I enjoy it as much as Passion Pit’s Manners. (Sidenote: I am sorry for not blogging about Passion Pit, I just never got around to the monstrously long post it would have been).
This is synth/dance pop, with a little hip hop and rock thrown in for good measure. I don’t know where to start on this fantastic little creation, save that I listened all the way through 3 times tonight and it’s good. Take a listen to “The Rain,” the first track off Ready For The Weekend.
