‘Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2’ finds additional exposition in Calvin Harris, 21 Savage’s ‘New Cash’ – Dancing Astronaut

Putting sturdy piano chords at a manufacturing’s intro is quintessentially Calvin Harris; the stylistic hallmark, additionally audible on 2012’s “Really feel So Shut” or 2017’s “Slide,” to call only a few, confers a level of heat familiarity to “New Cash,” the most recent preview of Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2. In a Could interview with Apple Music‘s Zane Lowe, Harris confessed that he’d “misplaced [his] fuck you juice for a pair years,” however even at this early stage within the Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2 rollout, it’s evident that his “fuck you juice” isn’t simply again—it’s ice chilly and on faucet.

Nicely, that’s what’s coursing via his veins on “New Cash,” the second addition to the Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2 that finds Harris deepening and enriching the “funk wav” sound. It’s price noting that though Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1 was guided by Harris’ beats-first-artists-second method to bounce/digital manufacturing, his methodology for Vol. 2 diverges from this sample. “I used to be making beats and I used to be simply making beats,” Harris advised Lowe. “I used to be like, ‘I’m going to make beats which might be like this after which I’m going to try to get some artists on it. And that’s how I are inclined to do issues with dance music. So I approached [Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1] in the identical method and I used to be like, ‘I’ll simply make beats, besides they’ll sound like this, however they’ll nonetheless clearly be digital beats,’ whereas with this one [Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2] I used to be like, ‘effectively I need to have extra, I need to have dwell drums and I need to have guitars and stuff.’”

And that’s exactly what Harris lays down on “New Cash,” a piano-girded addition to the Vol. 2 tracklist that sources its wordplay from 21 Savage. It’s a deviation from the sound of “Potion,” the viscous and altogether easygoing opener to Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2 that landed on Could 21 with vocal presence from each Dua Lipa and Younger Thug.

“New Cash” trails the current revelation of Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2‘s A-list forged of collaborators; the announcement synced with the five-year anniversary of the compilation that began all of it, Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1. To welcome appearances from Tinashe, Offset, Halsey, Snoop Dogg, Jorja Smith, and extra, the second chapter within the Funk Wav saga is slated to hit digital streaming platforms on August 5.
