Aside the latest pictures Calvin Harris has posted on his social media in the studio, there isn't too much information about his upcoming fifth album, which could be out sometime this year. Some days before the end of 2015, he posted the following picture.

Clearly, he was talking about himself and this could suggest that something is coming this year.

Also, there's an article from Forbes which mentions that this may happen as well.

This one isn't a certainty, but signs point to a new album coming this year. Harris is the world's highest-paid DJ, and his singles perform very well on charts around the well. He released the single "How Deep Is Your Love" this past summer, a song that doesn't appear on his last album... which probably means that it's on the next one, and that such a project is underway. We can at least expect to hear more from a new collection at some point this year.

Happy birthday, King! <3

Countdown to Juan Carlos stanning: 3, 2, 1...

[Juan Carlos]

AHHHH!!!! :'(

[Deleted]

Holy shit 8 singles, I wonder if he might have a 3rd with Ellie or maybe another with Florence. Who even knows anymore.

[Juan Carlos]

It has been announced that Calvin will be doing an exclusive residency at Omnia Nightclub in Las Vegas this year.

[Juan Carlos]

Red Bulletin made a list of the ten most successful DJ's in the world and Calvin is there, where it's mentioned that he has an estimated net worth of USD 160m, as well as other details.

• Social media: More than 13m likes on Facebook
• Worth: An estimated $160 million
• Performances: 77 in 2015

From Red Bulletin:

Calvin Harris hates interviews and says he can't dance or sing. But who cares when you're the world's highest-paid DJ at an estimated $400,000 a gig? The Scot reckons his success is down to pure luck, but anyone who has heard "We Found Love," his huge hit single featuring Rihanna, knows that Harris has an uncanny talent for a catchy tune.

His trademark: Business savvy. For years he was remixing for other musicians, such as Florence + The Machine, and instead of payment he would ask to visit the studio. That’s how he’s been able to lace ohis singles with vocals from folks like Rihanna.

What can we learn from him? Success, often invovles a lot of patience to go along with that long-term plan.

Cool: Models and pop goddesses can't get enough of him. He's dated Rita Ora and Anne Vyalitsyna and is currently linked to Taylor Swift.

Uncool: Posing as an underwear model for Giorgio Armani and saying that he's trying not to be a Justin.

Looks like he's working with Ellie Goulding again as well!

[Snowbeast]

Taylor song or flop

[skizzo]

He's done remarkably well in Europe

[horchata]

Motion was such a half baked affair, but regardless still looking forward to some new material hopefully soon.

I wouldn't rule that out too, although Calvin was telling her why she doesn't have Snapchat and how she was racking up the followers on Instagram. LOL!

Anyway, Theo Hutchcraft from Hurts could be added as well. He was with John Newman on Calvin's studio a week before the latter was again there. Also, I think BURNS too, but I'm not too confident about this yet.

[trustypepper]

I'm definitely excited for this. Does anyone know if Calvin will sing on any future tracks or is that a thing of the past?

I kinda like his voice tbh.

[Juan Carlos]

John Newman appears again on Calvin's Snapchat, as well as Oliver Heldens, Dizzee Rascal and BURNS. The four of them were in his studio (dubbed as Calvin's lab as far as I remember) and it could be seen the former in the singer's cabin. Also, he was playing the piano.

As a side note, I <3 when Oliver was making a rendition of "Acceptable In the 80's". It was hilarious.

Calvin will countinue to sing on any future song if and only if he thinks that his voice suits the track. This is the main reason why he has sung a couple of them after he (literally) said that he was quitting singing back in 2010 when he stopped doing live shows in favour of DJ sets.

His voice is perfect. I'm still pissed that he thinks the opposite.

[Glove Slap]

Counting the version of HDIYL that R3hab contributed to as well, I've really enjoyed everything he has released since Bounce nearly 5 years ago, so I'm looking forward to this.

I actually think he'd do well with an album outline similar to what David Guetta did around that time as well with Nothing But The Beat by doing a 2 disc album: one vocal and one instrumental.

[Juan Carlos]

Oliver posted the pic below on his social media and besides the people mentioned before, Emil Nava and Mark Gillespie were there, as well as Tyson O'Brien (aka. Generik), who appeared on Oliver's Snapchat.

[Albie]

Loving his snapchat game the last few weeks!

I'm so ready for album 5. Yes at working with Oliver Heldens - that has promise.

Please no Taylor collab. Just be a couple and keep separate music lanes please.

[wjr15]

I'm so hyped for Calvin's next album. I absolutely loved Motion!!!

[Juan Carlos]

Looks like Calvin confirmed a new collaboration with Dizzee Rascal.

[Juan Carlos]

Dizzee Rascal posted a video where he's talking to Calvin on his studio.

Also, early this month, John Newman posted this picture as well, which is clearly the booth on Calvin's studio.

[Juan Carlos]

Well... They look so cute together. <3

Something's coming soon, according to Columbia's pop newsletter - no word if it's this, the Ellie/TBA collab (or if that's also this, lol), or something else entirely.

[MTSChart21]

I hope that this song will be great (like Blame was)

[Juan Carlos]

Finally! :'(

Although I've waiting for this for a long time, I think the timing is perfect because I'm sure Calvin will premiere his new single at Coachella.

[yuh yuh]

Can't wait for new music from Calvin!

[Dylan :)]

I'd be down for Calvin Harris feat. Ellie Goulding & John Newman

[Juan Carlos]

Calvin will be headlining tonight and next Sunday at Coachella. The livestream of his DJ set begins at 10:35pm. PST / 1:35am. EST.
