Back in November of last year, when Calvin Harris announced that he’d be focusing on his DJ work and forgoing his burgeoning singing career, I was a little upset. There are TONS of artists out there who are lacking in the vocal department. The fact that these artists are lacking in singing ability, certainly doesn’t prevent them from releasing music. While I appreciate Harris’s position and respect his decision, I happened to LOVE both of his last albums, I Created Disco AND Ready For the Weekend. The focus of each album was more the electro/dance style of music, specifically the top-notch production…not Harris’ voice. Oh well. C’est la vie.
New song, “Awooga” is the first evidence we’ve heard of Calvin Harris, sans vocal, and I think he’s going to be just fine. The song is hot. The video, while not much more than just live footage of Harris spinning and doing his thing, showcases the pure electricity that comes with seeing him live in concert. Check out the video for “Awooga” below and download the song on Beatport HERE.
