“Sprinkled with a bit of little bit of intercourse attraction,” Funk Wav Bounces is again. And it’s, certainly, “a second.”
The latter a part of that first sentence is one which Calvin Harris listeners have waited to learn for a very long time—almost 5 full years, to be precise. However after Harris disbursed Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1 in June of 2017, Funk Wav went static, taking a backseat to unrelated however blockbuster singles like “One Kiss” (additionally with Dua Lipa) and “Large,” with Rag’n’Bone Man. The delivery of Love Regenerator signaled a brand new period of sonic experimentation for Adam Wiles, although it left Funk Wav‘s plot growth unclear. Would that narrative advance? Nobody knew, till early March, when Harris’ sudden and surprising affirmation {that a} secondary swell of Funk Wav sound would quickly be mounting. On April 20, a brightly hued billboard—”Calvin Harris Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2″—laid the blueprint for what was, what’s, and what’s going to inevitably be a summer season soundtracked by Funk Wav‘s viscous, feature-indulgent, and customarily slick grooves.
On “Potions,” Harris takes step one towards Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2 with Dua Lipa’s inimitable mezzo-soprano and Younger Thug’s aptitude. General, it feels a seamless continuation of the Funk Wav sound; Harris doesn’t reinvent the wheel on the ’70s-inflected single, and it may be argued that he didn’t must, anyway. Moderately, the Grammy Award-winner will be heard extending the vibe of Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1, which beforehand hosted Younger Thug on monitor quantity three, “Heatstroke.” Temperatures will be anticipated to quickly peak, and the identical is true of “Potions’” place on the charts; if something is for positive, summer season 2022 goes to be a sizzling one, however Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2 shall be even hotter.
