In this review I will be reviewing an album which was released this year in the end of june 30th June 2017 it is Calvin Harris fifth studio album called "Funk Wav Bounces Vol.1".
Calvin Harris is a Scottish DJ/Producer from Scotland who I have been a massive fan of since his first album "I Created Disco" which was released 10 years ago. There were songs such as "The Girls", "Merrymaking At My Place","Acceptable In the 80s","Love Souvenir" and many more. Calvin's first album is really good as he produced the entire album with a 90s computer which some artists have never done at that time in 2007. In 2009 Calvin released his second album "Ready For The Weekend" which is personally my favourite album from Calvin which had tracks such as "Ready For The Weekend", "Flashback", "You Used To Hold Me", "Im Not Alone", "Limits" and many more. This album was just the begining of people knowing who he was it is such a masterpiece. In 2012 he released his third album called "18 Months" which was the album that made Calvin mainstream. It is my second favourite album from him. Fantastic tracks such as "Feel So Close", "I Need Your Love", "Lets go" and many more. In 2014 he released his fourth album called "Motion" which was an alright album. And now 3 years later he releases an interesting album in 2017 "Funk Wav Bounces Vol.1". When I bought this album on the day it was released I was just so excited to hear an album from Calvin since its been 3 years. When I heard this album I thought to myself this is defintley something different from Calvin. It wasent electronic as in the other previous albums. It was a funk album which I personally agree that Calvin should do something different. I just felt really pleased listening to some funk production which he produced.
Moving on to my favourite tracks which were "Slide", "Heatstroke", "Feels", "Faking It", and "Hard To Love". Starting off with "Slide" which was the track that kicked off the album. It was the first track released before the album was released. It has some decent collaboration featuring Frank Ocean and the rap group Migos. Such a fantastic track it is one of the tracks that I come back and listen to. "Heatstroke" which features Pharell Williams, Ariana Grande and Young Thug. This track sounded like it was from the 70s the production is just so good. "Feels" featuring with Big Sean and Katy Perry this is the song of the summer this was the song that made me want to listen to over and over again due to how excellent it is. "Faking It" Another decent track that I like Khelani vocals is just simply too good. "Hard To Love" is my favourite out of all the tracks it is featured Jessie Reyez who is so cute. I love her music she is so talented she done so well on this track I am so proud of her. The production just amazed me its one of those relaxing tracks. My least favourite track was a track called "Skrt On Me" which I thought there was no point in featuring Nicki Minaj with her annoying vocals.
Overall I found this album very good I would defintley listen to it again. I will also review his other albums in the future. Overall its an 8/10
