OUT Calvin Harris feat. Ellie Goulding - Miracle

[BS_BlackScout]

It may not be 100% Trance, you may even classify this as Eurodance. But come on, it's Calvin Harris!??
What the heck? I had to post, mods feel free to move if you find relevant

Calvin Harris told Zane Lowe of Apple Music 1 about the song, “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. One of a kind. You’re not going to get this from anyone else. 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.”

He continued, “When I started making music, I was 14. It was 1998 and ’98, ’99, 2000, 2001 was for me kind of formative trance and house era. So what I did usually was just take bits from that and put it in a new context. But this time I thought maybe I’ll just try and maybe more recreate something that could be from back then… The only thing that I think makes it not sound like it’s from 1996 is the kick drum, because the kick drum’s pretty banging.”

It’s like Gigi d’Agostino meets Robert miles in 2023.

Not bad though. Calvin Harris has always dared to do stuff a little different.

 

[Mikey]

Kinda enjoying this as well tbh, best thing he's done in a good while

 

[Warlock1792]

It's probably worthy of being classed as trance more than 95% of trance so its worthy to be added into here.

Its actually not that bad, a little cheesey sounding but I enjoyed the first listen.

 

[Hoplite]

It almost seems like Harris heard DJ Heartstring and decided to do something similar?

 

[delphion]

I like it, very nice track and refreshing to see people outside the scene making trance. Maybe trance will be come back

BlackScout was ready for it to be slaughtered here, but we all like it!

Not really, it sounds pretty good and classic why would it be 'slaughtered'?
If I were to expect it I wouldn't have posted it in the first place.

Not Trance for me but I do quite like this. 143bpm too.

Worth a shot right?

He should be honored working with you

 

[Katadunkass]

Yo, wtf is this, late 90's euro dance?? I'm digging it, lol

 

[Atragun91091]

This is actually a fun and surprisingly decent track.

Color me pleasantly surprised.

Was a bit cloud headed when I wrote my first reply but now I see what you mean!!

I don't see the usual suspects this time around which is quite funny

 

[Archon]

And on that note...

I'm personally not a fan of this - never was a fan of this style, plus the vocals are too 2023 for me here. But that's just my taste.

 

[Gijs]

Kinda digging this, honestly. Shame the extended mix is only 4:56 min long, would've been funny if Calvin had made an 8 minute version lol

 

[TJY001]

Not bad at all! Only Calvin Harris track I ever could stand was this:

Updated the thread with a bit of what Calvin has to say about this track!

He continued, “When I started making music, I was 14. It was 1998 and ’98, ’99, 2000, 2001 was for me kind of formative trance and house era.

I am so surprised lol, I would have never expected this little beauty was produced by someone housy/popy as Calvin.

 

[Sleepy Robot]

I like it.

 

[Excessive]

This one definitely took me by surprise
