Biography

Favoring a naughty schoolboy look that makes him seem even younger than his already tender years (22 when his first major-label album was released), Scottish artist, producer, and remixer Calvin Harris has a similarly youthful and forward-looking approach to his music. Skipping the usual apprenticeship in the clubs or on indie labels, Harris went from posting his own D.I.Y. electroclash music online through MySpace and similar sites, to signing with the multinational giant EMI almost in a single step. A short time later, he was producing material for Kylie Minogue, Dizzee Rascal, and Rihanna.

 

Born on January 17, 1984, in the southern Scotland city of Dumfries, Harris was first attracted to electronic music in his teens and was recording bedroom demos by 1999. Two of these songs, "Da Bongos" and "Brighter Days," were released as a 12" club single and CD-EP by the Prima Facie label in early 2002 under the artist name Stouffer. With that single to his credit, the still teenaged Harris moved from Scotland to London, but as a very small fish in one of the world's largest and most competitive ponds, Harris floundered; only one of his songs was released during his time in London, "Let Me Know" with vocalist Ayah on the Unabombers' 2004 live-mix CD Electric Soul, Vol. 2.

 

Returning home to Dumfries, Harris began posting homemade solo recordings to his MySpace page. An A&R representative from EMI liked what he heard and signed Harris to the label in 2006. Following a pair of successful singles, Harris released his debut album, I Created Disco, in the summer of 2007. It featured two Top Ten hits ("Acceptable in the 80s" and "The Girls"), and climbed high in the album charts. Along with his work as a solo artist, including touring in front of a full live band, Harris quickly became an in-demand remixer — working on singles by Jamiroquai, Groove Armada, All Saints, and CSS. He also wrote and produced songs for Kylie Minogue's 2007 comeback album, and collaborated with Dizzee Rascal on "Dance wiv Me," which reached number one in the U.K.

 

"I'm Not Alone," the first single from his second album, also hit number one upon release in April 2009, as did the album when it appeared that August. That album, Ready for the Weekend, topped the U.K. album chart and peaked at number 12 on Billboard's U.S. dance/electronic chart. Through 2011, Harris took on production work for Example, Tinchy Stryder, and Rihanna ("We Found Love," a quadruple-platinum hit in the U.S.), while he also issued two more of his own singles (the Kelis collaboration "Bounce" and "Feel So Close"). Harris' third solo album, 18 Months, was a collaboration-filled affair that featured "We Found Love" and "Bounce" plus vocal spots from Ellie Goulding, Florence Welch, and Ne-Yo, among others. It was released in October of 2012. - iTunes

Discussion Thread Here

Quite liking 'My Type', very surprising that a song like this by an unestablished band has done this well though (even with heavy R1 support). It's not exactly particularly standout. We'll see if anything bigger comes of them I suppose ~

Summer :puke2: :puke2: :puke2:

 

For some reason I thought this painful rubbish was out. The beginning is ok but the rest of the song is so bland, generic and terrible

Great to have Calvin singing his tunes again. :)

summer :heart: ~ can't wait for blame to drop :cheer:

Still love love Summer, in fact it was so nice to hear it in Italy during my vacation :wub:

Enjoying this again

Biography

Best known for her Tony-nominated performance in the Broadway smash Rent, singer/actress Idina Menzel made her solo debut in 1998 with the pop-soul effort Still I Can't Be Still. She joined the cast for Wicked in 2003 and appeared on the recording that same year, while 2004 saw her releasing the album Here. The following year, Menzel appeared on the soundtrack to the television show Desperate Housewives, and a duet with Ray Charles (which the pair had recorded back in 1998) found its way onto the tribute album Genius & Friends. In 2007, a dance version of Wicked's "Defying Gravity" became Menzel's first club hit. A year later she landed on the major label Warner Bros. and released a new album, I Stand. - iTunes

For haters of let it go, have you seen Frozen?

Edited August 24, 201412 yr by Ultraviolence1989

I'm sure we had a crap weather this summer because of 'Frozen' :(

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:P

:zzz: :zzz: :zzz:

 

at least it finally appears to be on the way out now~

The chart is very very slowly letting this go.

 

Until it's on X Factor or something!

I thought that the introduction of steaming would have caused Let It Go to drop like a stone (kettles are surprisingly resistant to the charms of Disney), but it's still hanging on in there. I'll give it another month in the top 40, at max. Then it'll be back next year when it gets its network TV premier.

My let it go personal chart run

Chart-Run: 4-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-1-1-3-5-1-1-1-2-2-3-4-5-1-1-4-8-9-3-6-4-5-9-11-13-18-5

Hopefully I won't have to explain this more than once -

 

The Official Chart company, in their infinite wisdom, discovered that if a kettle was boiled in a certain way, would emanate the sounds of a popular song. As of last month, every time this occurs, the OCC logs this as one "steam". 100 "steams" = 1 sale. Of course, this addition caused a lot of controversy with chart fans, as this gets logged regardless of whether the water and kettle was boiled by the person who paid for both, but the OCC have claimed that this addition makes the charts for representative of what's popular, and of course the OCC are infallible in these matters. So "steaming" will remain a part of the chart for the forseeable future.

Thanks for clearing that up :lol:
