Calvin Harris – Ready For The Weekend

Taken from the album of the same, ‘Ready For The Weekend’ is the latest single from the massively popular Scottish musician that is Calvin Harris. Harris first hit the big time back in 2007 with his ‘I Created Disco’ album which spawned the huge hits ‘Acceptable in the 80s’ and ‘The Girls’, and he’s now back, once again looking to conquer the charts.

‘I’m Not Alone’ was the lead single from the ‘Ready For The Weekend’ album, and with that track Calvin Harris was able to hit the number one spot; the ‘Ready For The Weekend’ single is an arguably weaker track however, and it doesn’t look as though Harris is this time going to hit the top.

The chorus here is catchy without doubt, the verse feels a little weak however, and this I feel is what lets the track down. ‘Ready For The Weekend’ is definitely not a bad track, I wouldn’t say that it’s one of Calvin Harris’ best however, and it’s definitely not a track that has got me too excited. The energy just doesn’t seem to be there, and the usual Calvin Harris wow-factor is sadly missing.

Calvin Harris has come up with some incredibly high quality tracks in the past, ‘Ready For The Weekend’ isn’t one that I’m really feeling though, and I definitely feel that Calvin Harris could here have done a better a job.

David Guetta Feat. Akon – Sexy Bitch

‘Sexy Bitch’ is the second released single from the David Guetta studio album ‘One Love’. Featuring the vocals of R&B star Akon, ‘Sexy Bitch’ really is an incredibly catchy single, and one that will spend many months being played at clubs all across the world. The beat here is absolutely fantastic, and with the supreme vocal style of Akon over the top of David Guetta’s hugely impressive beat, never was this track going to be anything but a huge hit.

Guetta’s last single ‘When Love Takes Over’ was absolutely massive, and the man has once again pulled it out the bag with a very impressive piece of dance music. David Guetta is most definitely a man that knows how to press all the right buttons when it comes to creating club tracks, and it’ll now be interesting to see what he can come up with next.

‘Sexy Bitch’ is a track that you really need to be listening to with the volume high to get the best out of the beat, but whatever volume you listen to the track at, ‘Sexy Bitch’ is still sure to impress.
