Oh Cecilia :cheer: Adore this track, have said it should be a single since the album got released and I'm so glad it's now a top 10 hit :D Huuuge fan favourite too.

 

Five top 10 hits out of five *.*

It's a shame this is their lowest peaking single (although a second post-album top 10 is quite incredible) because it's my favourite single of theirs to date! I like their spin on it, SUCH an earworm! :wub:

Oh yes! 5th Vamps top 10. :yahoo:

Lol flop (based on what some people were predicting when it first hit iTunes chart on pre-orders).

 

I don't mind this actually after a couple more listens, but Somebody To You is still my fave from them.

No version of this song is good (and yes including Simon and Garfunkel) <_>
This abysmal cover of 'Oh Cecilia (Breaking My Heart)' is a total abortion! :manson:

Catchy but not their best. The Shawn Mendes version doesn't even sound that different from the album version. :lol:

 

Somebody To You >>> Wild Heart >>> Can We Dance >>> Oh Cecilia >>> Last Night (I don't even remember how this one goes)

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

Getting back into this now, holding up great too.

 

The album is shaping up to be fantastic, too excited for the Tinashe and Haim collabs. Not long to go now!

This abysmal cover of 'Oh Cecilia (Breaking My Heart)' is a total abortion! :manson:

 

This going top 10 over Bullit makes me angry and disappointed :(

Hope there are better tracks on his album, Blame feels a little bit limp on me, Gwen Stefani collaboration.... ooh... sounds interesting.
Good to see 'Blame' getting some decent longevity in the top ten! :dance:
