Iconic to date.

My favorite song this decade. I remember waking up early hearing it the first time. Incredible.

Pretty ballsy to submit Feels over Slide for the big awards. It was a bigger hit everywhere but only slightly so in the US and Slide does have Frank Ocean...

[SHOOTER]

Considering Frank publicly slammed the Grammys earlier this year, his name on the ballot might be toxic at this point.

The music video of "Faking It" will be premiered tonight.

The tweet below is getting viral and looks like Calvin made a deal with Filip Odzak, an Adelaide-based DJ, during Stereosonic festival in 2012 that when same-sex marriage was legalized in Australia, he was going to remix "2 Become 1" by Spice Girls.

Dude...I would have made a deal to blow marry him once it became law. f**k a remix.

"Slide" and "Feels" were ranked at #3 and #59, respectively, on Billboard's Top 100 favorite songs of 2017.

"Slide" (written by Andrew Unterberger)

"The key to the greatest producer-rapper(s)-singer super-teaming since "Yeah!" is in its subtly palindromic structure: The signature "Empty my bank account..." squawking kicks off the song, before giving way to Frank Ocean's cool-breeze chorus – then neither are heard in full again until three verses later, when Frank's hook makes its satisfying return, and the song ends on a final "I might!" It gives the song a sunrise-to-sunset feel: Harris' opening keys are as life-giving as rays peeking through the blinds on a gorgeous Saturday morning, Quavo and Offset's verses are the sound of the ideal piped-up weekend bash, and Ocean's disembodied closing wails serve as the perfect adult bedtime lullaby. It's telling that the song was used for the season two trailer of Insecure, as star Issa Rae contemplates life situations while forgetting that she's in the midst of L.A. traffic. No better West Coast day-in-the-life soundtrack has ever been produced by a New Orleans transplant, three ATLiens and a Scotsman."

"Feels" (written by Bryan Kress)

"Pharrell's "nothing ever lasts forever" opening to Calvin Harris's summer smash "Feels" is a statement that all but defines the Scottish electronic producer’s genre-hopping reinvention. But this one's the smoothest of transitions for Harris – and the highest-charting hit from his Funk Wav Bounces, Vol. 1 LP, peaking at No. 20 on the Hot 100 – with his disco sensibilities topped by Williams' slick falsetto, an irresistible hook by Katy Perry and a flirtatious verse by Big Sean to round out the band. With Harris guiding every bass slap and hand clap, there's a whole new reason to catch feelings for the dynamic producer."

Calvin has made a remix of "The Weekend" by SZA entitled 'Funk Wav Remix', which has been serviced to US radio.

A new remix by Calvin Harris called Funk Wav Remix was serviced, supposedly it will be sent to pop too.

[SHOOTER]

Slide deserved that Best Rap/Sung Collaboration Grammy nom.

[Juan Carlos]

The album was ranked at #7 on Billboard's Top 10 Best Dance & Electronic Albums of 2017.

From Billboard: (written by Kat Bein)

"After following blockbuster 18 Months with pretty much the same formula on Motion, Calvin Harris returns to his chameleonic roots with a new groove. Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1 takes the radio-reigning sounds of tropical tempos and poolside vibes and spins them through a colorful cotton-candy machine with a dash of sweaty club floors and bedroom eyes. He keeps the affair star-studded but lends a '70s air to the affair. This is a love-making album for women who wear gold pant suits and men who believe in the tenants of vinyl. Lead single "Slide" with Frank Ocean and Migos, who somehow made trappin' sound easy, is a perfect example of a feel-good anthem. "Feels" is cute enough for your parents to love but cool enough for the kids. "Fakin' It" brings some '90s drums into the mix for extra bounce. The album topped the Dance/Electronic Albums chart in July, when hot tub parties hit their peak, but we're rockin' it still."

I've realized that I didn't post the audio in the thread, so you could listen to it if you haven't already done below.

[Juan Carlos]

Nominated for two BRIT awards. Kind of pissed that Adam didn't get a nomination for British Male Solo Artist though~

[Choco]

I hope they don't abandon the era without at least one more single. Release either Heatstroke or Skrt on Me please!

[Juan Carlos]

Happy 34th birthday, Adam! <3

Happy birthday my love!
