So David Guetta makes a cover of 'Would I Lie To You', literally just months after John Gibbons already did the same thing. Unsurprisingly the Gibbons version is a lot better than this, have a listen anyway if you want. Can't see it being a hit.

I wouldn't even say it was months! Feels like only a few weeks ago!

I heard a bit of the 2004 UK dance scene in there so maybe TheSnake will like this

Chris Willis sounds better in this than in "Getting Over You"

Here is full version. And yeah I agree that Gibbons version is more interesting.

Oh Guetta

omg this is terrible...especially when 'Would I Lie To You Baby' part with so many layers of vocals on it.

Posted by: Pavel Sep 30 2016, 05:59 PM

There's literally zero interesting, fresh or good about this song. Flush.

Well compared to the 'Shot You Down' remake it's practically a masterpiece.

But yeah, I'm not gonna really be returning to this.

Superfluous is the word that springs to mind...

This is really dull and totally uninspiring. I hope the stuff on his upcoming album is a lot better than this trash.

Banal, as bland as Calvin Harris's recent releases.

Posted by: slowdown73 Oct 1 2016, 01:03 PM

Although Calvin's new single isn't fantastic, at least its not a cover and its still much better than this tripe.

Posted by: Addy K!ng Oct 1 2016, 04:57 PM

Agreed except 'My Way' sounds literally 'Summer' with different lyrics

Posted by: TheSnake Oct 1 2016, 05:29 PM

I don't really like the high pitched vocal bit (that reminds me of the worst of 2004 - Discoland and Hungry Eyes )

I do like Chris Willis' voice though.

The John Gibbons track is better overall and is more like mid 00s funky house (It particularly reminds me of the Ai No Corrida cover by Uniting Nations)

Posted by: slowdown73 Oct 1 2016, 06:04 PM

It reminds me more of let's go but definitely similar to other singles he's done. I think he's starting to run out of ideas as last few songs haven't been as good.

What about returning to disco house like Ready For The Weekend or progessive house/trance like I'm Not Alone. I would welcome a return to either style by Calvin, I.just dont like his current one much.

I really liked under control, blame and pray to god. I feel this era has been a let down so far compared to motion.

Sounds very low effort :/

My ultimate Calvin favorite...HIAM were amazing on vocals
