Calvin Harris Returns To Singing For Stomp-Clap EDM Track “Smoke The Pain Away”

Early in his career, the EDM megastar Calvin Harris sang his own vocals, usually doing a detached, semi-ironic hipster thing on tracks like “The Girls.” Even after his career exploded, Harris would sing occasionally. Some of the tracks that Harris sang himself, like 2011’s “Feel So Close” and 2014’s “Summer,” became major international hits. But Harris seemed to realize that his shit would sound a whole lot better if he had a pop star like Rihanna or Dua Lipa singing lead. Last year, he had a minor hit with the Ellie Goulding collab “Free.” But now, Harris is singing again. He’s also doing the stomp-clap folk thing.
