Are You Ready?

Are you 'Ready For The Weekend'? as its friday this is a fitting time to give some insight to Calvin Harris' new album 'Ready For The Weekend'. No stranger to the scene and definately an electro household name Calvin Harris' new album follows up from his huge album 'I Created Disco'. One of my alltime favourite Calvin Harris brings a nu disco electro style to his sets, remixes and his originals. 'RFTW' has copped a hammering in British media (although what doesnt - i can see why the boys in green street hooligans hate english journoz) and as you can expect it has not been very well received due to the huge success of 'I'm Not Alone' (the first single of the album). From my listen of the album i would say that no it is not an album full of hits like 'I'm Not Alone', but it has some very good tracks with a true example of Calvins diversity amongst the electro genre. He was slammed for his backlash at the bad reviews of the album but unlike muscles i think he has true variety and quality, lets hope this is not the last of Calvin Harris as its a pretty dang good listen.

Go out to your local record store (even if thats the itunes store) and buy some albums as there is plenty out at the moment. Its one for the list but untill then enjoy these tracks.
