There’s no denying it, Calvin Harris has the potion for making hits.

Since Acceptable In The 80’s made it’s first debut back in 2006 he’s been one of the biggest commercial success stories in the UK. Now whether they’re good hits or not is entirely up to you but he’s infiltrated the charts like a SWAT team on 80% pure.

I think it was the title to his debut album that put a bitter taste in everyones mouth – I Created Disco is a brave name for anyones album, regardless of their musical stature and reviews since then have been all-round bad but it seems the new album has managed to gain some positive appraisals.

The Rain is the opening track to the new album and it’s won me over. I haven’t listened to any more of the album yet. To be perfectly honest I’m a bit scared to as I don’t want to ruin everything by venturing any deeper in case things gets shit.

As well as that I was recommended a hidden gem by a friend. Featurecast has done a Drum & Bass remix of I’m Not Alone and it needs to be heard.

Anyone actually listened to the whole album? Drop a line or two about it and maybe it will persuade me to listen to it!
