Scottish dj and producer
Calvin Harris (real name Adam Wiles) emerged with
Acceptable in the 80s, a faithful imitation of
synth-pop of the 1980s,
and The Girls, inspired by
David Guetta's dance music, both collected on his debut album
I Created Disco (2007).
Ready for the Weekend was another diligent imitation of
synth-pop
but the bombastic house music of I'm Not Alone, on the same album
Ready for the Weekend (2009), signaled a more focused
transition to the dancefloor.
From then on his albums continued to offer
facile dance-pop that recycled the most abused stereotypes of house music of the 1990s.
18 Months (2012) spawned a record number of hits:
Feel So Close (Guns'n'Roses in a disco of the 1970s),
Sweet Nothing,
Blame and Summer,
were the heavy bangers of
Motion (2014), but
Bounce, Let's Go and We'll Be Coming Back displayed the
influence of the r&b ballad, of hip hop and of the singer-songwriters.
Two collaborations with Rihanna, We Found Love (2011) and This Is What You Came For (2014), helped export his music to the rest of the world.
The hits kept coming: Feels, off Funk Wav Bounces Vol 1 (2017),
One Kiss (2018),
Promises (2018),
etc.
