Calvin Harris has started to evolve into a sort of King Midas for the nu-rave generation. While he may look like he’s wandered in after a heavy night on the set of Skins and dress in enough lurid neon clothes to have Klaxons turning their noses up, this hasn’t prevented Kylie and Sophie Ellis-Bextor knocking down his door for a helping hand on their new records. The ginger ‘MySpace sensation’ appears to have his fingers in all the right pies at the moment. All he needs is for Madonna to come knocking and have Paris Hilton fawning over him and he’ll pretty much
have reached the pinnacle of modern celebrity. It’s curious then why Harris has suddenly decided to release new single ‘Colours’, which stutters and shunts its way along without ever greasing itself up into the frenzy that saw previous singles ‘Girls’ and ‘Acceptable in the ’80s’ ram-raid the charts. For a chap who lists the likes of David Bowie, Outkast and Funkadelic as influences, this single is surprisingly bland and predictable. It’s funkless, soulless and
lacking in panache and pizazz. Its synths sound like they’ve been dragged through a sewer and the bleeps and beats are straight out of a dodgy Amiga computer game. Maybe Harris needs to stop playing the good Samaritan for the pop community and start issuing some quality control
on his own work. (AF)

I am preparing to endure yet another Winter in New York City. The cold weather isn’t the problem, but rather the masses of dismal look-alike black-clad automatons.
Oh yes, I do like Calvin’s message in this song.

My current favourite track off the album is actually Disco Heat - I am hoping that comes out on single with a whole heap of nice remixes. Teenagers and Van She Tech would be a good start.
