Roc Nation is it's own label under Live Nation. All artists that are either managed (Rihanna, Wale, etc.) or signed (J. Cole, Alexis Jordan, etc) will have that imprint on their albums a long with their respective distributors. Thanks for the info, BMAC2098². So, in this case, is Roc Nation managing Calvin Harris's career in the US? (I think he is still signed on Ultra Records).

Ellie Goulding's "Halcyon" has leaked. As a consequence, Calvin Harris's Ellie Goulding-assisted song 'I Need Your Love' leaked too. Listen to the track here.

iTunes UK has updated the lengths of the "18 Months" tracks, where we can see some interesting facts. 1. According to the lengths of 'Green Valley', 'Mansion' and 'School', I think they are going to be instrumentals like 'Awooga' or 'Burns Night', unless Calvin provides some spoken vocals like he did on 'I Created Disco'. 2. There are going to be a new edits of 'Iron' and 'Awooga'. The first has a length of 3:39 (instead of the 5:02 Beatport release) and the latter has a length of 3:51 (instead of the 7:13 version that was found on 'Bounce'). 3. I was expecting to 'Here 2 China' to be more than 3:30 minutes, instead of the 2:32 that will be on the album. Hope there will be an extended version. 4. It's almost confirmed that the album will have the alternate version of 'Let's Go', the same that was found as the track #4 on the "Let's Go - EP".

23 songs and 5 videos on the deluxe? :O And only 11 pounds? That seems very cheap... I don't know typical pricing there but that seems way cheap.

Ok that's a little more than I was thinking, more like $15 was my guess. Pretty sure I was thinking of Euros since 11 Euros is $14.23 lol

UK iTunes has uploaded the "18 Months" snippets. :o Personally, I didn't feel a connection with 'Here 2 China' as I was expecting, but this is a snippet. I think the whole version will grow on me. Also, is it me or Tinie Tempah sounds like Flo Rida on 'Drinking from the Bottle'? (Well, I haven't listened to any of his songs in my defense). 'Green Valley' and 'Mansion' has some (spoken) words(?) on it and the latter has some Gameboy elements like 'Bounce' and 'I Need Your Love', while 'School' looks like an instrumental "I Created Disco"/"Ready for the Weekend" track. Definitely, I'm looking forward it. On the other hands, 'Thinking About You' has a reminiscent of an euro-dance pop track. Also, WowHD has uploaded the physical deluxe edition tracklisting and it only will have the '18 Months (Continuous Mix)' on the bonus disc. However, it will be AN HOUR mix, with all the tracks on the standard version, except for 'Green Valley', 'Mansion', 'School' and 'Here 2 China'. I need to hear it ASAP! I love getting track lengths! Disappointed with "Let's Go". I thought I was the only who was interested in track lengths. I see I was wrong. Sorry for 'Let's Go', Slizzard. I know you prefered the radio edit, but I think it was a smart move for him because most people don't know the alternate version and could think it is a new version of the song.

Longer snippets from the album have been leaked! ( Link) So, I've changed my mind regarding 'Here 2 China' and 'Drinking from the Bottle'. They are incredible.

UK iTunes has uploaded the lengths of "18 Months" (Deluxe Edition) as well as some more snippets of the songs. 1. The track 'Here 2 China' is labeled there as explicit. 2. '18 Months (Continuous Mix)' will have a length of 52:54. 3. The 'Let's Go (feat. Ne-Yo)' video is not going to be the one promoted on VEVO. It has a length of 7:26, so it's going to be the remix cut: vimeo.com/44248897

the album sounds great. I'll make an attempt to pick it up and YES at "School" which should be appropriately titled "(Old) School" because that track is very throwback.

Love it!
It's a shame School is so short, it has this wonderful feeling to it. Actually, why is half the album 2 minutes long?

I think I Need Your Love is more worthy of being the next single, but both would be good choices. I also really like Iron but I don't think it would be a good single.

'Thinkin' About You' is so good! Definitely my favorite track of the album. I think Ayah Marar's voice is just great, but she's not really a stranger to working with Calvin in the first place come to think about it. Her vocals are also the reason why I liked Limits, Flashback, and Stars Come Out from his Ready For The Weekend album too.

I also really like Iron but I don't think it would be a good single. I agree with Codex. I really like 'Iron' as well and I want to be the next single, but I think it's too EDM for radio. The same happened to Example's 'Changed the Way You Kiss Me' (I'm not talking about the ridiculous remix with Ludacris it was sent to radio after the original, by the way). As the iTunes positions for the other songs so far, I think he could try to do different releases, although I have to admit it could be too dangerous. 'Drinking from the Bottle' has done (and it's still doing) very well in the UK (near top 10 is really huge for a non official single) and Ireland. 'I Need Your Love', on the other hand, has done well in the US (it peaked inside the top 60, although it has fallen so fast), Canada and Oceania, while 'Thinking About You' is doing well on some European countries as well as in Oceania and, surprisingly, it has been inside the top 200 in the US and Canada. I think Ayah Marar's voice is just great, but she's not really a stranger to working with Calvin in the first place come to think about it. Her vocals are also the reason why I liked Limits, Flashback, and Stars Come Out from his Ready For The Weekend album too. Ayah Marar's voice is flawless. She and Calvin have met for years, so they have a good chemistry working together. Also, I think 'Thinking About You' is the underrated song of the album.
