Calvin Harris Drops Collaborative Two-Track EP with Normani
Calvin Harris is no stranger to working alongside high-profile vocalists, what with Rihanna and Sam Smith collaborations under his belt. His latest EP sees him add Normani to the list.
Normani x Calvin Harris serves more so as a vehicle for the Atlanta-born songstress than as singles that do justice to Harris' discography. Compared to yesteryear hits delivered by the Scottish DJ/producer like "I Need Your Love" and "Summer," the two songs comprising the effort aren't entirely memorable.
To Harris' credit, the downtemplo, syncopated drum pattern of "Checklist" does paint a fitting backdrop for the exchange between Normani and Nigerian singer WizKid. "Slow Down" showcases a bit more of his signature sound. The a vocoder-reminiscent melody at its drop hints at the nu-disco style for which he made a name for himself before EDM chart toppers landed him first place on Forbes' list of the highest-paid DJs for six years in a row.
Normani (full name Normani Kordei Hamilton) boasts a considerably shorter career. Perhaps best known as a member of the group Fifth Harmony, her big break arrived in the form of a 2012 appearance on U.S. television program The X Factor.
