Calvin Harris: Funk Wav Bounces Vol 2 – irresistibly joyous

It could appear odd that Calvin Harris has made this belated sequel to 2017’s Funk Wav Bounces Vol 1, however really all his albums have are available in pairs. The primary two have been dance-pop units that includes the younger Scot as a singing frontman; the subsequent couple have been epic collaboration compilations from somebody who’d someway turn out to be the world’s highest-paid DJ slash Armani mannequin. As annoyingly ubiquitous as Harris could appear generally, his high quality management has not often dipped. Bounces Vol 1 was a magical shock that includes blissed-out seashore membership classics similar to Slide and Feels, and a formidable solid of A-list expertise, though it suffered from being overly male.

Vol 2 makes amends. Though the primary voice you hear is 21 Savage’s sleazy drawl on the beautiful New Cash, one of the best of the remaining is all feminine. Dua Lipa delivers a unbelievable follow-up to One Kiss with album standout Potion, and Normani, Tinashe, Jorja Smith and Stefflon Don all supply higher contributions than, say, Busta Rhymes, who raps like he’s determined to get out of the studio and go residence. Thankfully, there’s one thing irresistibly joyous in regards to the low-stakes funky really feel Harris summons at will, irrespective of who’s on the mic.
