Wtf where is he going next
Posted by: Avicii 19th January 2018, 03:16 PM
but where is Volume 2?!?
(either way, hype!!)
Posted by: BridgeCow 19th January 2018, 04:10 PM
Kinda sad there’s not gonna be a vol 2 but so so excited about this, can’t tell if it means a return to his usual self or another new sound for him? Either way I’m so hyped
Posted by: CodyOfTheWoods 19th January 2018, 04:18 PM
I’m not mad that he’s pretty much moved on from this era but c’mon at least give SZA a small push
Posted by: Dexton 19th January 2018, 04:20 PM
Maybe this year he’ll finish off the album he was working on for TIWYCF & My Way, then Funk Wav 2 in 2019?
Posted by: Midge 19th January 2018, 06:31 PM
Yeah, volume 2 doesn't have to immediately follow volume 1. I like that he had this project to change his sound up a bit, and now he can go back to those bangers
Posted by: Klaus 19th January 2018, 06:58 PM
omg i knew he was going to do this, why put Vol 1 when there’s no intention of a Vol 2
Posted by: liamk97 19th January 2018, 07:03 PM
It really annoys me when an artists puts out a Volume 1 of something and never follows it up, although I suppose, as mentioned, he could always follow it up at a later date.
It's usually with compilation albums that people do that tbh (usually acts who are never going to have enough hits to create a follow-up).
Posted by: gavindeejay 19th January 2018, 07:37 PM
C’mon Calvin! Give us some tunes!
Posted by: slowdown73 22nd January 2018, 12:33 AM
Hopefully back to pop/dance. Ive hated the funk era so much. It just isn’t him and I’m surprised he’s had a few hits with the stuff he has released!
Posted by: BridgeCow 2nd February 2018, 08:12 PM
So my friend saw an ad on google that had Calvin's twitter and insta profile pic on and he clicked it and it took him to this site:

in the source code there's a Twitter account and Facebook account linked to the page - if only there was a way to determine which account it was

this has me very hyped
Posted by: Cqmerqn 18th March 2018, 09:22 PM
Features Danielle Bregoli (who) and it’s called ‘Dreams’.
Ok how much did Calvin get paid to feature some unknown artist?
Posted by: Juan Carlos 🌴 18th March 2018, 09:51 PM
What? FYI, Danielle Bregoli is Bhad Bhabie.
Posted by: danG 18th March 2018, 09:53 PM
Danielle Bregoli?!?!
She's not exactly unknown. She's most famous for being the "cash me outside" girl which led her to become a rapper.
Going to be such a hot mess if she's really on Calvin's next single.
Do you have a source anyway? Can't find anything about this supposed 'Dreams' on the internet.

Always intrigued
Posted by: Jüpiter 20th March 2018, 11:20 AM
Cringe if she is actually on it. I don't even dislike her but she's a really unclassy pick, like worse than e.g. Azealia Banks

Well "My Way" is the worst song of his entire career so it's understandable that he's had to take singing lessons again since then.

Calvin's vocals >>>>>> His songs with him singing always end up being my faves.
Posted by: Midge 21st July 2018, 12:12 AM
"My Way" is not the worst thing he's ever done
I say that but I can't think of what IS the worst thing. Perhaps "Merrymaking At My Place" in terms of singles. I certainly prefer listening to "My Way" over that! (I'm not a fan of "My Way" btw)
Posted by: Liаm 21st July 2018, 12:16 AM
Hope he sounds as good as he looks in the Instagram tbh
My Way is probably down there for me, it's certainly not as bad as Heatstroke or Nuh Ready Nuh Ready or whatever it's called though
Posted by: Midge 21st July 2018, 12:24 AM
Heatstroke was good
Dafuq
Nuh Ready was pretty average tbh
Posted by: Bjork 21st July 2018, 06:14 AM
his worst was the song with Example (We'll be coming back) and that one called Wide Open or something like that with Sean Paul

hahaha that one, i knew there was some Sean in there
personally, when he collaborates with rappers, results are poor most of the time, much prefer when he works with female singers like Ellie, Dua, Rihanna or Flo
Posted by: Cqmerqn 21st July 2018, 09:41 AM
Heatstroke is awful
Posted by: slowdown73 21st July 2018, 09:54 AM
I really liked my way but haven’t liked any of his singles since then.
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 21st July 2018, 10:21 AM
'Summer' was pretty diabolical.
'My Way' was reductive.
'Feel So Close' is my favourite though, easily. That has him on vox.
Posted by: Juan Carlos ⚡️ 21st July 2018, 02:24 PM
I hope Adam wasn't referring to the following where he said that we will be hearing a song from him singing soon, but there will be a song from Benny Blanco which features him on vocals.
From https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/18/arts/music/benny-blanco-interview.html:
QUOTE
A decade on from his first string of No. 1s, Mr. Blanco is finally spending his cultural capital and cashing in some favors, inching toward name recognition with a run of singles credited to Benny Blanco that feature his big-time collaborators. The first, "Eastside," was released this month, written with Mr. Sheeran and featuring vocals from Halsey and Khalid.
Other A-list cameos will follow, as will the more adventurous stuff that he's got tucked away with the likes of Juice WRLD, Rex Orange County, Francis and the Lights, Calvin Harris (as a vocalist!) and more.

“Feel So Close” is by far his best tune because it brings back memories of Ibiza 2011 where I heard it a lot

Waiting rather impatiently for the Normani track.
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 21st July 2018, 05:20 PM
I actually quite liked Hype tbh...
If I had to rank my top 5 favourite Calvin songs:
5. Spectrum (Say My Name) 4. We'll Be Coming Back 3. Let's Go 2. Acceptable in the 80s 1. Feels
Dance Wiv Me would be #2, but he's only credited as a feature on that. Slide, My Way and Summer are also up there.
Posted by: Juan Carlos ⚡️ 8th August 2018, 04:44 AM
Looks like he's teasing something because he tweeted 'banger' (or maybe I already want something new from him at this point?).
Posted by: Bjork 8th August 2018, 07:28 AM
^the song with Ida wroldsen?
Posted by: Juan Carlos ⚡️ 8th August 2018, 02:20 PM
Not sure. As far as I know, there's a song where he's doing the vocals (and I think that it's a track from Benny Blanco instead of him) and two collaborations with Ina Wroldsen and Normani, respectively, aside the pendings tracks (or one if the two of them are in the same song) with Ellie Goulding and John Newman, respectively, back in 2016.
Personally, the Normani collaboration seems that it's going to be released by her label and not him by the way it came out. I mean, it was by Victoria Monet, one of the songwriters, on her social media and he didn't mention anything about it yet. The Ina Wroldsen collaboration seems the most viable option at this point because it was registered lately, but who knows?
Posted by: Dickston 8th August 2018, 02:32 PM
Could be that Normani’s debut solo single (I think?) will just be produced by Calvin. Similar to John Newman’s Ole or Rita Ora’s I Will Never Let You Down

Mabel has pushed back her album, so I now really think that the next single features her.
Posted by: Wall 10th May 2019, 10:39 AM
It would be stupid for Mabel to push her album back if she was to be on Calvin's next single? The next single should be out before July so would make sense to strike it while it was hot. I just think they're unsure of her next single.
Posted by: lewistgreen 26th May 2019, 08:51 PM
Not much hype or info on an album we’re supposed to get before the end of June
Posted by: TwentyNine 27th May 2019, 06:39 AM
Funk Wav Bounce got announced on 9th May and released on 30th June so I think we would know if an album was coming before then. Maybe it’s just a new single or the album got pushed back.

Posted by: Juan Carlos 2nd June 2019, 06:21 PM
I don't know why, but if he's going to release a new single, I expect this to be released on June 14. I mean, Columbia already sent the list of their upcoming singles to impact US Top 40/M radio to AllAccess and, surprisingly, there's nothing from them on June 18 (FYI, Tuesday is the day for impacting songs in the US), so I assume this means that there will be a song from the label to go for adds that day, but they don't want to reveal it yet. Another possibilities are that any of the previous songs listed ("Civil War" by Russ [11/6], "3 Nights" by Dominic Fike, [25/6] and "The Bones" by Maren Morris, [2/7]) is going to be pushed back to give a slot for this or he will release something in July.

It's interesting that you point out this, but I don't think that Columbia has pulled a radio deal recently. The latests have been from Republic ("ME!" and "If I Can't Have You"), Atlantic ("I Don't Care"), Capitol ("Nightmare" and "Never Really Over") and Interscope ("Easier"). I'm not saying that they can't do one if Calvin releases another single because they did it with "One Kiss" last year.

Plot twist: AllAccess removed the impact date for "Civil War", which means that there's a chance that a new song from him will be out this week. I personally don't expect this to happen unless it's a surprise release?

I'm not totally sure about this, but it seems that something (most likely a new single) will be out on July 17. He posted https://66.media.tumblr.com/420b41c34ef2f943eb4614de6c382cd4/tumblr_ptru48ELrT1tdji24_1280.jpg on Instagram stories yesterday, which includes "Summer" as a trending song and the date July 17. "Summer" was released on March/April of 2014, so the date seems off, but a year later he released "How Deep Is Your Love" on July 17, so... is he teasing the possible second Disciples collaboration to be out that day?

Parts of the track were uploaded on YouTube.
Posted by: Juan Carlos 27th November 2019, 03:30 PM
"Peace Love Happiness" is a 7-minute house track. You could listen to it https://www.youredm.com/2019/11/26/calvin-harris-drops-new-soundcloud-exclusive-7-minute-house-banger/ and, apparently, it's a demo version, hence the reason why it had a v3 attached to the title when it was uploaded (mistakenly?) on Soundcloud.

Couple of weeks suggest it should be released by the end of January! Nice to know there's new stuff actually coming. However the new vibe makes me think that 'One Kiss', 'Promises' and 'Giant' might be left as non-album singles. Which would be a bit sad.
Posted by: Juan Carlos 12th January 2020, 03:31 AM

Posted by: Juan Carlos 14th January 2020, 01:58 PM
If the Instagram post above is shazamed, it says that the track is called "Hypnagogic (I Can't Wait)" and it's attached to an album called Love Regenerator 1 EP. As a consequence, it makes me think that he will release a couple of EPs under the Love Regenerator title, which I hope they will lead into an album, unless he drops that idea and he only releases one (see: Funk Wav Bounces, Vol. 1).
Posted by: Juan Carlos 17th January 2020, 11:04 PM
It's Adam's birthday and Tommie Sunshine spilled that they recently reconnected over Adam's upcoming project and it meant a lot to Tommie that he would share it with him.
I've known Calvin Harris since I stumbled across him on Myspace and signed him to my old record label. He was working at a grocery store in Dumfries, Scotland at the time and we both were dreaming of having life long careers in music. It's been incredible to watch his ascension into the highest heights of music. We recently reconnected over his upcoming project and it meant a lot to me that he'd share it. He's still the same humble dude he's always been and today I say Happy Birthday brother‼️ (photo by Rukes at Ultra 2013)

Love Regenerator has an official site. It's been for a while, but I don't think I've mentioned this before. Sorry!
https://loveregenerator.com/
There are 15 hexagons and 12 hexagons if the site is seen on desktop and mobile, respectively, so it seems that these are the number of EPs (12 or 15) Adam could release from this project, which may turn into an album.

It seems that Adam has a new (sort of) alias: Funk Wav.
All of the songs from Funk Wav Bounces, Vol. 1 and the Funk Wav remix of SZA's "The Weekend" have been attached to this new profile on Spotify, so I'm wondering if there will be plans for another volume, despite he already said there aren't? Another possibility might be that he wants to classify all of his releases accordingly.
I'm not sure if I never noticed it before, but does he have a new cover on Spotify?
Posted by: Juan Carlos 7th July 2020, 01:41 AM
It's the same picture of the tweet below when he announced his 2020 Las Vegas dates, which are cancelled now.

I really want to know what's happening with this project, I know LWYL is still doing great but it sort of feels like the numbered EPs have been abandoned at this point. The last one we received was Love Regenerator 3 in March! I really hope to see this project continue but we all know what he's like with being consistent with his projects
Posted by: Juan Carlos 28th April 2021, 05:19 AM
Leaving this here because I'm not sure if he's referring to his pending tracks with Solardo under Love Regenerator or he's going to release something under Calvin Harris again.
Posted by: Frenchie 28th April 2021, 05:43 AM
I'm hoping for a Calvin Harris banger. It's been far too long since we've had one. (Sorry Over Now)
Posted by: lewistgreen 28th April 2021, 08:47 PM
Just release something PLEASE
Posted by: Juan Carlos 1st May 2021, 05:42 AM
It's been a long time since I've seen Calvin Harris and 'album' in the same sentence, so I don't know what else to say.
Either way, take the above with a grain of salt because I don't know how reliable they are, but they seem to be one digging on their Twitter account. Also, it doesn't help that Adam tweeted an Apple Music link of Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1.
Posted by: Frenchie 8th February 2022, 07:28 PM
Calvin is teasing a new track on his insta stories. The vocals sound kind of familiar but I can't put my finger on who it sounds like. Not sure if it's Love Regenerator or not.
Posted by: lewistgreen 8th February 2022, 07:30 PM
Now this is more like it!

Looking forward to this. Obviously. I hope it's under CH.
Posted by: callmeDim 8th February 2022, 07:48 PM
Sounds a bit Dua Lipa-ish, and it's deffo a CH track. Love Regenerator just doesn't sound like that in any possible way as I can understand his idea of the project. UPD: or Mabel-ish...

It's definitely under CH, but it looks like it's going to be Normani's lead based on a deleted Instagram story.

He has been teasing something lately. Even Jessie Reyez has been in his Beverly Hills studio before he moved on to Ibiza...
He wrote One Kiss and Promises with Jessie Reyez, so hopefully that means another banger is on the way!

He should release a greatest hits compilation titled 15 to coincide with his first hit 15 years ago and to include every single song of his including his LG stuff and his remix of "Spectrum"

I would assume that would be a forthcoming Charlie Puth single produced by Calvin Harris rather than Calvin being the lead artist.

I agree. I’d have also like more from the This Is What You Came For time. I’m sure he was gearing up for an album then.

Do I want this? I'm not sure Vol. 1 is probably his weakest album to date for me, and I think that's more down to vast change in direction (though Feels is an absolute BOP). I shall reserve harsh judgment until we get a taste of what's to come.

Ok so for those arriving late (Lewis) the tweet appears to have been taken down but in essence it was from an account I follow called Dancing Astronaut and it was sharing what you can still see in Calvin’s instagram story and suggested that the preview sounded very like Frank Ocean and would be a possible hint at Funk Wav vol. 2. Don’t know why it was taken down though.
Wow this might be coming really soon then! I see Normani commenting with lots of emoji eyes 👀👀👀👀 . I presume she is on the lead single as rumoured before.

Posted by: Daan 20th April 2022, 09:09 PM
Although to be fair he did put out a whole album's worth of material for Love Regenerator (13 songs so far), it is just that project clearly lends itself better to random single releases than an album format

Funk Wav x Madeon would actually make a lot of sense and I’d be very here for it happening.
though I expect Calvin will just stick with the big American rap and RnB names for the most part.

Doja Cat was teased when we had the Calvin Forum so I wonder if that'll end up on here
Posted by: Frenchie 8th May 2022, 06:39 AM
I think Doja would suit really well on a Funk Wav track, so hopefully she will feature.
Do we think the lead single could be coming in the next few weeks with Calvin playing Radio 1 Big Weekend on the 28th??

It’s a bit late for this idea OCC, but it should have happened some 5 years ago perhaps.

ouch no thanks
Posted by: Juan Carlos 10th May 2022, 06:19 PM
I assume this should be imminent, probably a "surprise" album release? Either way, I hope the release of the lead single is later this month (to coincide with his Big Weekend Radio 1 performance on May 28) and the album is set to be out next month or July 1 as the latest as I said before (to coincide [in a sort of way] with the fifth anniversary of Vol. 1).
oh I do hope he doesn’t just drop the whole album out of nowhere with no pre release singles, much as I am excited for it.
Posted by: Mangø 11th May 2022, 08:39 AM
I doubt he would do that, he's not Beyonce or Rihanna. I think it's most likely the single will come at the end of the month and then the album a few weeks after that.

It's still just "coming soon" Honestly, as a fan it's frustrating to have nothing but teaser after teaser after teaser.
Posted by: Bjork 11th May 2022, 09:26 AM
definitely too many teasers without any proper info
something should be imminent but has to be a single an imminent album looks impossible to me cos the release schedule is full until mid-late June... he cannot release against Florence, Harry or Liam
so guess it's an imminent single
Posted by: Frenchie 11th May 2022, 09:33 AM
I think early July would be the best time for the album release. Have the first single come in the next few weeks and then the second one with the album release.
The teasers are getting a bit frustrating, but the latest one looks like it could be from a video shoot which is promising. I do wish the word soon could be banned in the music industry though.
Posted by: Juan Carlos 11th May 2022, 02:09 PM
If there's a "surprise" album release, it should be on May 27 to not coincide with The Chainsmokers and Harry Styles (both of them under Columbia / Sony, same label as Adam's). However, I agree that early July should probably be the best because June is packed as previously mentioned.

I agree that the teasers are getting tired at this point, but as Lewis mentioned, it does generate discussion in a sort of way.
Anyway, the album is finished and it's been said that the teaser above is a collaboration with Tinashe.
Speaking at the Radio 1 Big Weekend, Calvin has said the album isn't quite finished yet but is aiming to release it in July.

This is a new update based on a reliable source. The known titles ("New To You" and, possibly, "Woman of the Year") may end up with any of the known collaborations. That said, 21 Savage and Busta Rhymes are the only ones who are going to be in a single track, while the rest is going to appear with one or two people.

QUOTE(Juan Carlos @ Jul 22 2022, 03:15 PM)
Track #9 (1:24) from the album is the outro of the song, which is sung by Justin Timberlake. The song is the same length of the music video (5:13), but Calvin decided to split in two, being track #8 ["Stay With Me"] (3:49) and track #9 [TBA] (1:24). I don't know the reasons why he did that, but I guess it was for streaming purposes.

Well… it’s terrible. Actually my least favourite yet, although I can’t stand any of them :’)

'New To You' is the best thing this era so far. It's the song I feel like he tried to create with 'Potion' (which I found to be quite dull and monotonous) but didn't quite manage. Those strings are gorgeous!
Yeah, basically this. 'New To You' is the first thing I've heard from this era that I'm actually liking!

All I'm getting from these tracks is someone who doesn't really understand the music he's supposedly inspired by
Oppressively mediocre

It’s really not that deep. He’s just making the music he wants to make. I don’t really get why people were expecting such groundbreaking tracks when there is literally a Vol.1 where you can get the gist of what the vibe is.

I quite like all the songs except New Money which is a shame as I'm a huge 21 Savage fan! Vol. 1 is my favorite Calvin Harris album and I doubt this one will be as good but I'm sure it's still going to be decent at least

Lol nobody was expecting groundbreaking music, CH is as basic was it gets, but what people wanted was decent dance music not the shittiest shit ever... it's not really that deep lol

stay with me has grown on me a lot, and i found a edited version of potion without young thug so i can finally listen to that song without the pain of young thug, but both songs are still only mediocre so i have low expectations for this album. intrugued to see which collabs he pushes once the album drops!

This is just my opinion:
Intro 7/10 New Money 6,5/10 Potion 4/10 Woman Of The Year 6/10 Obsessed (very disappointed) 7,5/10 New To You 7,5/10 Ready Or Not 8/10 Stay With Me Should've made it extended/10 Stay With Me (Part 2) 5/10 Somebody Else 3/10 Nothing More To Say 5/10 Live My Best Life 4,5/10 Lean On Me 2/10 Day One
There are still some good things, but Vol. 1 is 1000x better.
Posted by: Frenchie 5th August 2022, 04:07 AM
It’s an enjoyable album. Obsessed and Woman of the Year are my faves from the rest I hadn’t heard yet.
Posted by: LiamSime 5th August 2022, 05:31 AM
The least enthusiastic I’ve ever been to listen to a Calvin Harris album. I’ve just listened to ‘Obsessed’ as it’s top of the NMF playlist, and I mean it’s god awful IMO
Posted by: JackTheeStallion 5th August 2022, 07:49 AM
There literally isn't one song I'd listen to again, all the artists sound so lazy and the production sounds uninspired and almost cheap sounding.

Listen, anything 21 Savage touches turns to GOLD. It deserved a place on vol. 1.

But it wasn’t made in 2017, so how could it have been? it’s not like it was titled Vol. 1 because he intended those to be the better songs.
Posted by: lewistgreen 5th August 2022, 11:21 AM
Yep just like Vol. 1 this is doing nothing for me. Stay With Me is the best of the bunch
Posted by: Frenchie 5th August 2022, 12:07 PM
Calvin spoke through all the tracks on Radio 1
And for all those who don’t like the funk wav stuff, Calvin is already talking about getting back to the dance tracks. After Vol.1 we got One Kiss and Promises so hopefully something similar will happen.
Posted by: Jαsє 5th August 2022, 05:54 PM
Terrible album.
Get back to me when you decide you wanna release bangers again, Calvin. Until then you can get in the bin.

It's really not that good either... but I'm glad he's managed to make the elevator music of his dreams.
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 7th August 2022, 12:22 AM
I actually quite enjoyed this album overall, perhaps not as much as Vol. 1 but there were some standouts. Namely: Obsessed, Ready Or Not, Stay With Me, and Living My Best Life.
Posted by: Bjork 10th August 2022, 01:41 PM
savaged by Pitchfork: Borrowing from disco, electro-soul, boogie, and 1980s R&B, vibe commissioner Calvin Harris’ second volume of frictionless summer jams has the staying power of vape smoke at Coachella.
Tbh I think this is getting slated too much - yeah there's not many tracks that stand up well on their own and I'm really not a fan of Stay With Me or Obsessed, but put all together it works really well as summery background music. New To You is my favourite by miles, the production with all the strings is absolutely gorgeous

The album just about managed to stay in the Top 100 this week. Fast falling album in a 3 week period.
Posted by: Bumblebrë 6th September 2022, 10:21 PM
I was rather enjoying every track on this album up to 'Stay With Me' - I didn't love 'New Money' at first but it's grown on me, could have done with better vocal mixing though - so was prepared to make a post about it being way overhated but then the quality did kind of nosedive sharply after that oops (the closing track is a bit better again but still not one I'll be going back to). Still, I am a fan of all of the singles now and 'Woman Of The Year' is my standout from the album tracks, possibly my favourite on the album overall, not that that's that high of a bar tbf, it is lacking anything that's close to as standout as 'Slide' from Vol. 1.
The one song that really is as bad as everyone is saying this album is is 'Nothing More To Say', wtf was that x
Posted by: Juan Carlos 28th September 2022, 06:14 PM
"Obsessed" is the next single. Not expecting this to do a lot on streaming and sales wise (probably to outpeak its previous peak?), but let's see if this helps the album.
Vol. 1 is probably his weakest album to date for me, and I think that's more down to vast change in direction (though Feels is an absolute BOP). I shall reserve harsh judgment until we get a taste of what's to come.
