The man who minted a now ubiquitous neo-90s house template returns with more reasons to throw your hands in the air
It may be two years since DJ/producer/sometime vocalist Calvin Harris released his last album, Ready For The Weekend, but his sound has been everywhere of late. Recent top 10 singles from JLS and Chris Brown have both featured what we will call, for legal reasons, "echoes" of Harris's single I'm Not Alone, and you can't move for other pop singles featuring similarly huge, 90s-esque house riffs. Following a support slot opening for Rihanna and a recent falling out with Katy Perry regarding cancelled dates on her tour, he's turned his sights on another female pop star, with Kelis adding her husky tones to Bounce, the first single from his as-yet-unnamed third album. Opening with a pinging keyboard riff and Kelis intoning "bounce", it soon morphs into a hands-in-the-air-ideally-holding-a-glow-stick dance monster, with Kelis's effortless cool keeping it just the right side of parody.
