CALVIN HARRIS DROPS ‘FUNK WAV BOUNCES VOL. 1’ FEATURING MIGOS
Date:
Calvin Harris dropped his fifth studio album, Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1, on Friday. The LP features 10 new tracks, with guest appearances from 20 artists including Reservoir’s Takeoff and Offset, of award-winning Atlanta rap group Migos. The rappers, along with Frank Ocean, lend their talents to “Slide,” the album’s lead single which dropped back in February and earned its RIAA Platinum Certification in May. The Scottish DJ also called upon Migos member Takeoff for “Holiday” with Snoop Dogg and John Legend. Though fans are used to Harris’ usual EDM sound, Press Play Ok notes the celebrity-stacked album’s “laid-back” vibe and “shimmering collection of sun-flecked hip-hop,” set to make it a summer favorite.
Migos’ recent collaborations have been topping charts. In addition to “Slide,” Metro Boomin’s “No Complaints” feat. Drake and Migos rapper Offset hit #1 on the Spotify US Viral 50 charton June 28th, and Katy Perry’s album Witness, on which the trio contributed to single “Bon Appétit,” hit the number one slot on the Billboard 200 chart for the week of July 1st.
