Over the last year or so, Calvin Harris has definitely made a break-through within the music industry. The Scottish producer/singer has been successful in the UK, since 2007. Since he released his single “Feel So Close,” listeners have certainly been wanting more. “18 Months” – Harris’ third album – finally released on October 26.

This album definitely has some catchy and fun songs on it, which shouldn’t come as a surprise.  Of course, most are already familiar with “We Found Love,” which he produced and “Feel So Close.”  His first official single features Kelis. “Bounce” – is a very energetic and smooth melody with a steady drum beat.  Sticking with featured artists, Tinie Tempah is on the track “Drinking From the Bottle,” an upbeat song that is likely to be heard in nightclubs.  The next track, features Florence Welch (of Florence and the Machine), which again is very upbeat, and has a good buildup during the verses. “Let’s Go” – featuring Ne-Yo – and “Here 2 China” – featuring Dillon Francis and Dizzee Rascal – have more of a hip-hop vibe.  This album definitely has something for everyone, with a wide variety of featured artists.

Along with that, he also has tracks on the album, which are solely instrumental.  “Awooga” – which again has a great buildup during the song – leads into the more intense beats.  “Mansion” and “School” are two more instrumental tracks on the album, worth giving a listen to.

With this third album, Harris has definitely shown maturity with his music – he’s given his music an intriguing, electro pop sound.  Definitely give it a listen, and enjoy dancing around the house while doing so.
