Calvin Harris - Motion

[Juan Carlos]

So, is it coming this year? Holy sh*t! I was getting the idea it's going to be out next year since there wasn't too many details about it, besides the info posted from Billboard and Popjustice though. Anyway, get that Q4 release and Christmas sales Calvin!

[Glove Slap]

It's coming this year?! Where is this info from? Did he announce it?

I wasn't expecting an album until spring/summer 2015 at the earliest. I'm always here for more Calvin, so this is fanatic news for me if it's true.

That would also mean that the next single is probably selected and maybe even ready to go anytime if they're not releasing it off of Blame.

[Zeebz]

It's coming this year?!? That's beyond exciting. I've loved both "Blame" and "Summer" so I definitely cannot wait to hear the album.

[Juan Carlos]

Take the following with a grain of salt. According to HMV Japan, the album is called Motion and it will be out on November 3. AHHHHH!

He tweeted that his album is coming out later this year. Also, flip posted those tweets here.

[Flip]

And we've got an artwork:

[Juan Carlos]

The artwork is awesome! <3

Anyway, he already confirmed that the album will be out in November. YES!!! :'(

[circadian]

Love the title, artwork is ok, better than 18 Months'. A shot of Calvin running shirtless would have been better, but oh, well, I'm sure they're saving it for the deluxe version.

Nah, I don't need him shirtless. Just need his music.

When God offers you two gifts at once, you pick them both. No excuses.

[Lahey's Lucky Star]

I can't wait to see what collaborations he'll do. PLS BE CONOR

[Juan Carlos]

Now that Calvin announced that his album is dropping in November, I'm wondering the same what Glove Slap posted a couple of days ago.

It will be interesting if he releases a new single before the album, but since it's coming in almost six weeks, I'm not too sure if this will be a good idea. I'm torn

So far, it's been confirmed Big Sean, Tinashe, Ellie Goulding and Deorro. The first three have been spotted in the studio with him, while Calvin mentioned the latter on his Today's Top Hits Playlist on Spotify early this month. Also, there's a rumour that he worked with Gwen Stefani too, although I can't confirm that. However, I'm wishing this is true.

Anyway, I hope there will be more tracks where he does the vocals too.

[Lahey's Lucky Star]

Meh, I have a feeling that he's gonna have a few promo singles while this goes out on pre-order in a couple of weeks (hopefully).

Ugh the Tinashe collabo isn't on her album :'( Deorro is seriously the next big thing.

[Juan Carlos]

The album is available for pre-order in iTunes New Zealand so far! It will have 15 tracks, including "Under Control", "Summer" and "Blame", being the three of them as instant grats.

Looks like "C.U.B.A" didn't make the final cut and there's no information about a deluxe version as well

[Flip]

31 October is the NZ release :) that sounds better than November.

Well, kind of. I <3 November.

Oceania tends to release their albums and singles on Friday, so it was expected to see it on that date. As a consequence, it confirms that he isn't planning a WW release on the same date, as he did with "Blame", which it's good because I want him to get his third #1 in a row in the UK. Anyway, the tentative and possible schedule for Motion to be released is shown below:

• Europe and Oceania: October 31.
• UK and Japan: November 3.
• US, Canada and Latin America: November 4.

ETA: Looks like the album will be released in Japan on November 3, as it's shown on iTunes Japan. However, this is something weird, since it's considered that the new releases came out on Wednesday in this country.

[Zeebz]

I really like the title of this, and to a lesser extent the artwork. I'm so ready for this album.

[Juan Carlos]

And the announcement for the pre-order of Motion on iTunes finally came. YES!

[Juan Carlos]

So, Calvin posted this on his Instagram account.



Apparently, "Slow Acid" is the next single from Motion if it's considered that a video shoot is happening. Also, there isn't any other artist mentioned in the photo, so Calvin is doing the vocals again. *crossing fingers*

[Flip]

Through his Twitter, he confirmed Ellie Goulding, Ummet Ozcan, Big Sean, R3hab, Tinashe, HAIM, Firebeatz, Hurts, All About She and Gwen Stefani on his new album! The R3hab-track is called "Burnin" and the Ummet Ozcan-track is called "Overdrive". That's all we know for now :)

[Juan Carlos]

Gwen Stefani!!!



Couple more = More than two, I guess. Yay!

[diuzza]

I'm even more excited now that I know the collaborations 

Gwen, Ellie, Tinashe, another track with Hurts 

[Linnethia Monique]

HAIM! *Dies*

[Flip]

So excited!!!

[maine]

Can someone post the track listing (assuming that is what is on the iTunes link) since it is not updated in the US?

Excited too for another track with Ellie and a Gwen collab!!!!

[Glove Slap]

So excited for this! And surprised as well! I love the album artwork as well and the list of people on it looks terrific on it.

This is probably my second most anticipated album of Q4 right now then after Kendrick.

Looks like I messed up with the Deorro collaboration, since I thought Calvin was talking about him instead of R3hab in the audio from the link above. Sorry! :(

[Juan Carlos]

Apparently, Stereogum has revealed the tracklisting of Motion :o

SPOILER: Click to show

{Tracklisting}1. "Faith"
2. "Under Control" (with Alesso, featuring Hurts)
3. "Blame" (feat. John Newman)
4. "Love Now" (featuring All About She)
5. "Slow Acid"
6. "Outside" (featuring Ellie Goulding)
7. "It Was You" (with Firebeatz)
8. "Summer"
9. "Overdrive" (with Ummet Ozcan)
10. "Ecstasy" (featuring Hurts)
11. "Pray to God" (featuring Haim)
12. "Open Wide" (featuring Big Sean)
13. "Together" (featuring Gwen Stefani)
14. "Burnin" (with R3hab)
15. "Dollar Signs" (featuring Tinashe)

ETA: Confirmed by Calvin, since it was posted on his Twitter account.



Anyway, it's confirmed that "C.U.B.A" didn't make the cut and iTunes has uploaded the tracks and they are listing "Open Wide" as explicit. Also, from the fifteen songs on Motion, it's pretty safe to say that there are at least six tracks (including "Summer") where he may be doing the vocals, since Firebeatz, Ummet Ozcan and R3hab don't do them. However, they might be instrumentals too.
