Carrying this over to the next page, just 'cause. ;)

Oh, and "Summer" sounds amazing.

Preview #3 for Calvin Harris's new song "Summer". I'm so hyped right now.

[Juan Carlos]

"Summer" is already available for pre-order in some European and American countries, as well as Oceania! Still not in the US and the UK though.

Artwork:

First play tomorrow on Capital FM at 8am GMT.

[Juan Carlos]

Preview #4 for Calvin Harris's song "Summer". Kinda similar as the first one.

---

"Summer" is available for pre-order on iTunes and Amazon in the UK. It's out there on April 27.

[Juan Carlos]

"Summer" have just premiered on Capital FM and it's huge. Despite the beat drop is predictable and it looks like "Under Control", the first verse is the best thing ever. Those violins/strings! Holy crap.

PS. Seems that it had an early premiere on NRJ. You can listen to it here.

Out now on iTunes!

Available for pre-order on:

• US: March 18.
• Germany and Ireland: April 25.
• UK: April 27.

There's still no US date on iTunes though

Today we shoot?!? Looks like Calvin is shooting the video for "Summer". However, when he decided to post shirtless photos? I know, it's not my business, but it seems weird though.

Calvin was with Tyson O'Brien in the last photo of the right and, according to his official site, he's a videographer and filmmaker, besides being a DJ, so he might be the director of the "Summer" music video. If this becomes true, looks like I was wrong when I implied that Emil Nava was.

[Juan Carlos]

Today, the "Summer" press release from PR Newswire was unveiled and it says the following:

Grammy-award winning international DJ, producer and hit songwriter Calvin Harris has just released his new single "Summer," available in the U.S. today: smarturl.it/CHSummer. Written and produced by Calvin, "Summer" features Calvin himself on vocals for the first time since his multi-million-selling global smash, "Feel So Close."

I know that he's not very well-known pre-"We Found Love" in the US, but I'm pissed that the tracks of his first two albums are ignored >:(

Also:

"Summer" highlights the same unique and vibrant mix of colossal dance beats and soaring scale that Calvin has made his own. The song is preceded by his most recent album, 18 Months. Declared a "hit parade" by Billboard, 18 Months has spawned five RIAA certified singles; in addition to "I Need Your Love" featuring Ellie Goulding and "Let's Go" receiving Platinum certifications, Calvin's chart-topping "Sweet Nothing" featuring Florence Welch of Florence + The Machine and "Feel So Close" have been certified two times Platinum. Calvin's worldwide hit, "We Found Love" featuring Rihanna, has been certified multi-platinum.

Finally, some confirmation regarding the RIAA certification of his 18 Months singles.

And:

In total, Calvin has sold over 2 million albums and more than 35 million singles worldwide.

Slay!

Some of you may know that, but it's mentioned that an artist is going to pull a Beyoncé-esque (unexpected album on iTunes) and Popjustice mentioned him with the following:

Probably not quite big enough for iTunes to be excited, but this type of release would work for him.

I personally don't think he's going to do this, but I will be in shock if it turns out to be him.

I can't deny that

More photos from the "Summer" videoshoot :)

Also, it seems that Eva Shaw is going to appear on the video as well.

On the other hand, Rita Ora was interviewed by Nick Grimshaw for Paper Magazine and she confirmed that she and Calvin did four songs for her sophomore album.

[hilbertkc]

"Summer" rocks! Hopefully his album will be released this summer and not after a few singles.. but we'll see

[Juan Carlos]

So, it looks like I was right when I said earlier that Emil Nava could be the director of "Summer"

[Glove Slap]

I like Summer and hope it becomes another big hit for him.

I've enjoyed each of his albums more than the last, so I'll definitely check the new one out whether it drops in a few months or at the end of 2015.

[die Lotterie]

"Summer" is slaying me.

Calvin Harris is probably the hottest guy in the world. He makes me jealous.

[Juan Carlos]

The "Summer" music video is going to be premiered this Monday on VEVO!

Preview of the "Summer" music video. Watch it here.

[die Lotterie]

Looks good! Stoked for this.

[circadian]

He should be walking down that road shirtless. Just sayin'.

[Juan Carlos]

New preview of the "Summer" music video. Watch it here. Calvin doesn't appear in this one, but it gives me vibes of "We'll Be Coming Back".

[Juan Carlos]

Third and last preview of the "Summer" music video. Watch it here.

Music Video:

[BadRomance]

Lame video for such a smash song. Would have been better with less cars & girls and more of Calvin's hotness.

[Juan Carlos]

Calvin did a phone interview with Ryan Seacrest for On Air with Ryan Seacrest (duh!) and he talked about his success, the use of his vocals and how people (still) don't know about them (I mean, really?), his schedule and Rita Ora.

Listen to the full interview below:

BTW, he's confirmed to be on Wango Tango in May 10.

[Juan Carlos]

The Official Charts has revealed the official Top 20 biggest selling tracks from Calvin Harris and there are so interesting details. You could see the full list here. Personally, I wasn't expecting to see "Off the Record" (Kind of forgettable~) and "Here 2 China" in the list tbh.

[Juan Carlos]

So, Calvin has tweeted that he's mixing his next single and it will feature someone else, unless he does the vocals again which I would love to though. Anyway, I don't know, but my bet goes to John Newman.

[Lozzy]

I'm going to guess Tove Lo, because I misread 'love to' in your post as that and in the 0.1% chance I turned out right I'd hate myself if I hadn't posted it!

[Deleted]

I can't wait for this to be released. 18 months was one of the best edm album
I have ever heard & I know this won't dissappoint me. Will it be better, hard to tell right now. :)

[Kurt]

I wonder if the ten-character-username thing based on the question marks is legitimate. It's Céline Dion.

I'm just wondering the same. If it's based by the ten-character-username on Twitter and the people who Calvin follows there, the only option is Cheryl Cole, which it would be great as well, but I doubt it since she's releasing a new song this summer and I don't know how well two songs where she's doing the vocals could handle at the same time.

Sorry, but this .gif is so great that I had to use it.

BTW, it's confirmed that he will performing on BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in Glasgow.

Yeah I highly doubt it would be Cheryl considering he already did "Call My Name" for her...

Watch it be someone unexpected though...

But "Call My Name" was for her album and it wasn't intended, as far as I know, to be included on his. Anyway, I hope he could consider to do a collaboration with her for his new album tbh~

Yeah, looks like it's going to be a guy if it's considered what he said before to Capital FM.
