CALVIN HARRIS and I are READY FOR THE WEEKEND full of ghostriding under the STARS. You going to COME OUT?

Calvin Harris – Stars Come Out

Calvin Harris’ sophomore album drops today in the US and it is definitely worth your time and money. A lot of people have been poo-pooing it as a falling off for the guy who Created Disco but after sitting on it for the past few weeks, I am on board. It’s not genre-changing or trendily lo-fi-buzzcore, but it is catchy, dancey, and fun. What else do you want from a dance CD? I think a major misstep for Calvin was pushing “I Am Not Alone” as the albums lead single. It isn’t the albums best by far and I think it sent peoples expectations down the wrong path. 2nd single, “Ready For The Weekend,” is much more Calvin, if you know what I mean. But it’s really “Stars Come Out” (above) that gets my goose. A funked-out bounce-fest about ghostriding* through a cemetery? Hell yeah. All I am saying is that if you ever enjoyed Calvin’s debut, then you should at least give this one a few listens. Hey, you might end up not liking it, but I would hate for you to miss out just cause you heard it was bad.

I tend to agree with you. I lovvvvvve the new Calvin CD. I actually fell in love with his first album and I defiinitely think Stars Come Out and Blue are the top pics. Haters, need to listen to the whole CD again. Thanks for the review!

I agree, people need to give the record another spin, and this time do
it on a saturday night when the time is right!
