New Music - Calvin Harris & Ellie Goulding

Another day, another new Calvin Harris song, another reason to dance like crazy this weekend. I’m not positive if this one is a proper “single” or just a song they’re releasing to get people excited for the album, but either way, I’m not mad.

“Outside” is exactly what we’ve come to expect from Calvin, which is both exciting and a bummer. While another fun dance jam is never a bad thing, it would be nice to see some variation in his work. He and Ellie do seem to have good chemistry together, as they have now worked together on two songs, their last being “I Need Your Love”, which was a top five hit in the UK and a top twenty single in the US. Not too shabby.

I don’t know if “Outside” will do quite as well here in the States (we can only handle about one third the Calvin Harris singles as the UK can), but I’m sure he’s got himself another British hit with this one.
