The post Sam Smith & Calvin Harris Take a Wild Ride in the Music Video for “Desire” appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Smith and Harris officially released “Desire” on July 28, and the song peaked at No. 12 in the UK following its release. We wouldn’t be surprised to see it jump to the top ten following the release of this music video, which shows the duo hitting the race track.
Smith is prominently featured in the video, and they can be seen preparing for the next big race, while singing along to the track’s lyrics, including the catchy chorus, “You are my desire/And just the thought of you is keeping me awake/You take me higher/Take me away.”
Harris isn’t featured in the video as much, but he did most of the work behind the scenes. He co-wrote the song with Smith, Sam Roman, and Matthew Burns, in addition to co-producing it alongside Burns.
Smith and Harris go a way back, and they previously topped the UK Official Singles chart with their hit single “Promises” in 2018, before collaborating on “I’m Not Here to Make Friends” from Smith’s latest album Gloria.

]]>Travis Scott’s Utopia is definitely the week’s most anticipated new release, and it’s given us more epic collaborations than we can count. Scott even managed to bring Beyonce on board, and gave us one of the album’s best songs with “Delresto (Echoes)”.
Post Malone also knocked it out of the park with his self-titled new album Austin, and we opted for “Enough is Enough” as its best new song. The English pop star Anne-Marie also dropped a new album this Friday, and her Khalid collaboration “You & I” made it to our list.
This week has been amazing for hip-hop releases, starting with “Jealousy” by Offset & Cardi B, but we also made sure to include some songs that don’t fall under this genre. From Mitski’s “Bug Like an Angel” and The Kills’ “New York” to “Desire” by Calvin Harris and Sam Smith, there’s something for everyone on our list of the best songs of the week.

]]>This week’s list is defined by pop bops, and that’s not a shocker since Miley Cyrus just gave us a whole new album of them. It’s tough to single out just one best song from Endless Summer Vacation, but we decided to go with its second single “River”.
Pop bops on this week’s list come from every corner of the globe, from South Korea to the UK. Fans of K-pop will be happy to hear TWICE’s latest single “Set Me Free” while Eurovision fanatics have Mae Muller’s breakup anthem “I Wrote A Song” to look forward to.
If you prefer alternative sound, you won’t be disappointed by our list, because we have new releases by Depeche Mode, Tame Impala, and Róisín Murphy to look forward to this week… And don’t even get us started on Florence Welch’s amazing cover of No Doubt’s “Just a Girl”!

]]>The post Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding Drop Their Third Collaboration “Miracle” appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Glittering synths, pumping bass, and quick drums come together to create another one of Harris’ signature EDM bangers, but Goulding’s soaring vocals eventually seal the deal. It marks the third collaboration between the two artists, following “I Need Your Love” and “Outside”.
Harris recently set down with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe to discuss “Miracle” and said that collaboration with Goulding came naturally because she’s “one of a kind” and you can’t get her vocals from anyone else.
“I definitely have very defined sort of likes and dislikes for music and artists. And one of my likes is an Ellie Goulding angelic vocal… Ellie can do a lot of different things, for me, this is my absolute favorite thing that she does, and only she can do it, in my opinion,” Harris told Lowe.
“Miracle” was released as a non-album single, and it’s not associated with Harris’ latest LP Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2. It’s also not listed as one of the tracks from Goulding’s fifth studio album Higher Than Heaven, set to hit the shelves on April 7.

]]>Calvin Harris’ first album in five years is worth listening to for its A-list collaborations alone and it features the likes of Snoop Dogg, Young Thug, Normani, Pharrell Williams, Dua Lipa, Justin Timberlake, Halsey, Charlie Puth, and many more.
NBA YoungBoy hit No. 1 in the US with his last two albums and expectations are running high for his next LP The Last Slimeto, featuring singles “Mr. Grim Reaper”, “I Hate YoungBoy”, and “Don’t Rate Me” featuring Quavo.
Demi Lovato is set to return to their early rock influences on the upcoming album Holy Fvck and they gave us a taste of things to come with singles “Skin of My Teeth” and “Substance”.
Panic! at the Disco’s next album is a clear love later to Las Vegas and its release was preceded by singles “Viva Las Vengeance”, “Middle of a Breakup”, and upcoming “Local God”.
Some of the most anticipated alternative rock albums of the year are coming our way in August. Muse’s Will of the People is a case in point, and it will feature previously released singles “Won’t Stand Down”, “Compliance”, “Will of the People”, and “Kill or Be Killed”.

]]>The post Calvin Harris, Dua Lipa, & Young Thug Join Forces in Retro Music Video for “Potion” appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>The Emil Nava-directed visual consists of a series of clips fading into each other, perfectly fitting the song’s sensual vibe. Retro costumes, pink and purple tones, and funky beat add to the song’s 80s vibe and the music video is giving us a major nostalgia overload.
Harris used “Potion” to tease his next studio album, the follow-up to his 2017 record Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1. This record comes after a pretty quiet year for Harris since he hasn’t collaborated with any major artists ever since recording “Over Now” alongside The Weeknd in 2020.
Harris said it’s an honor to work with Dua and Thug again because “they’re both such dynamic artists who have contributed so much to today’s musical landscape.”
Young Thug was one of the artists featured on his previous album, as they collaborated on the song “Heatstroke”, also featuring Pharrell Williams and Ariana Grande. He also joined forces with Lipa in 2018, on her smash hit single “One Kiss”, which reached No. 1 in the UK.

]]>After an impressive six consecutive years’ reign, The Chainsmokers have dethroned Harris as the world’s highest-paid artist in the category.
The Chainsmokers duo, Drew Taggart and Alex Pall, claimed the No. 1 spot with $46 million over the past 12 months. Harris dropped to No. 3 with $38.5 million, behind the masked DJ Marshmello, who earned $40 million, which secured him the No. 2 spot. Rounding out the top 5 are Steve Aoki and Diplo, with $30 million and $25 million respectively.
The Chainsmokers are known for their high-profile collaborations with artists such as Coldplay and Halsey. While the duo hasn’t released an album since April 2017, they did, drop five singles so far this year.
“We work with artists because it makes sense [and] because we’re excited about them,” Pall told Forbes in 2017. “Anytime we work with someone, it’s because they offer something to us creatively that inspires us.”

]]>The post Calvin Harris and Rag’n’Bone Man Drop Video For “Giant” appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Rag’n’Bone Man wrote this song four years ago, after realizing his parents are not as strong as they seem. He felt it’s finally his time to look after them and convince them he’s a giant. He really wanted to share this heartfelt tune with the world, but the timing was never right – until Calvin Harris came into the picture.
“He properly breathed a new life into a song I hold very dearly. It’s mad how it took this shape and I’m happy for people to finally hear it!” wrote Rag’n’Bone Man after sharing the video with his fans of Instagram.
“Giant” tells the story of a young man who feels like he’s carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders while his mother struggles with a serious illness. It’s Rag’n’Bone Man’s first single as a lead artist in almost two years.

]]>This uplifting song of hope and wonder already got a music video two months ago, but the second one is much more profound and meaningful than the first. It tells the story of Nilda – a Honduran woman who made her way to the US with her son, fleeing the violence in her home country.
Benny Blanco already filmed one video for “I Found You”, where he was seen dancing with his friends and mother, but he felt this song deserved more and used it to send a powerful message by sharing Nilda’s story with the world.
“It was originally intended to be for my single “I Found You”, but we quickly realized that this was far too powerful and important to be just another video… This was bigger than us or any song we were making,” wrote Blanco on Instagram.

Love it or hate it, Girls Like You was the song that was literally everywhere this year and it’s one of a few tracks to cross the 1 billion mark on YouTube in 2018.
Marshmello’s sophomore album came packed with amazing collaborations, and it would be a travesty not to include one on the list.
Calvin Harris and Sam Smith are a match made in heaven and their radio-friendly tune will have you dancing all night long.
