Ok, caught this now. I definitely think this clip sounds more interesting than the previous. I even hear him latching on to (gulp) the Pharrell and Daft Punk style a bit in terms of singing style and those retro backup vocals. He's wise though- bridging the gap between what's commercially in right now and his obvious EDM base.

I still don't get why he has to post the previews when I can't listen to them. Ugh!Anyway, the first preview was a letdown for me, but this one is so perfect. His vocals are everything (and this is only a snippet). (...) mainly because of the vocal part, which Calvin hasn't disappointed me yet. And he still doesn't

I hope there's more of his vocals on the new album. I love when he sings on his tracks. It sounds sooo much better.

This is going to sound very interesting after the full version comes out. I can see him putting together the concept of Feel So Close in it.

He already had a #1 in the UK with a summer themed song called Holiday (with Chrome and Dizzee) a few years back lol. Don't expect this to do as well though. That s**t was inescapable! Damn his style has changed so much since then (dare I call it less distinct now?) but that was Dizzee's lead anyway. Yeah, Holiday brings back a lot of memories. :) Calvin and Dizzee were both dominating back in those days. Dance Wiv Me was absolutely massive summer 2008 (I don't think Calvin would be where he is today without that song), and then in summer 2009 Dizzee had Bonkers and Calvin had I'm Not Alone. I think Calvin's music was a bit more sparse and minimal back then (still very loud and full, but not as much as it is now...). Also, his first few hits all sounded different to each other, but in the past couple of years most of his hits have sounded very similar, and frankly quite boring, imo. Ok, caught this now. I definitely think this clip sounds more interesting than the previous. I even hear him latching on to (gulp) the Pharrell and Daft Punk style a bit in terms of singing style and those retro backup vocals. He's wise though- bridging the gap between what's commercially in right now and his obvious EDM base. Calvin had a hit in 2009 called Ready For the Weekend. That song is fairly disco-ish and leaning in the direction of Daft Punk/Pharrell. A lot of people hated that song when it was out though.

I've always loved it when he does his own vocals, so I'm glad to hear him back in the booth. I hope this album has more of him.
So excited for this!

"Summer" is already available as a pre-order in some iTunes stores, with the exception of the US and the UK so far. It's stated for:
• Most of European countries and Oceania: March 15 (I don't know why Saturday though). • Rest of European counties and America: March 18. • Germany: April 25.I assume Calvin will post/tweet the link later today. Off topic: Is it confirmed that "Summer" would be out as a digital download this Friday? As far as I know, it's going to be out late April in the UK, but if we consider how the UK works with the digital releases, I think it's a possibility that it could be available in four days in some European countries, besides the aforementioned country, Ireland and (maybe) Germany, and Oceania. If this happens, I assume the American release would be in March 18. I can't believe how accurate I could be sometimes. Damn! :oETA: Out now on iTunes! • Germany and Ireland: April 25. • UK: April 27. There's still no US date on iTunes though Hope it could be available as a pre-order ASAP and be released in March 18 tbh.

Ok yeah, it's got more to it in the verses than I expected. But I really wish the beat drop didn't exist. His vocals also feel less appealing than in his older tracks.
Should be a hit around the size of I Need Your Love, I think.

According to Amazon, it will be out on March 18 in the US. Hope the song will be available as a pre-order on the US iTunes soon.
