Calvin Harris steps up to the microphone on his latest single: Listen

Few producers can boast the commercial success that Calvin Harris achieved throughout his storied career. His massive collaborations and productions have soared to the top of the charts, but now he returns with a new single and sound in 2025.

Fans of his entire catalog will know that Calvin Harris began his career crafting house-anthems that often featured himself in the vocal booth. Despite that talent, he has also been fortunate enough to work with some of the biggest names in entertainment and music and fans haven’t heard the producer step up to the mic since his iconic hit, Feels So Close. Now Harris seems to be entering a new chapter of his career and life, showcasing a new look of long hair and a slightly unkempt beard, his latest offering, SMOKE THE PAIN AWAY sees a musical shift for the famed producer.

Calvin Harris has never been afraid of evolution and change. He soared to incredible levels of success when he shifted away from his earlier house productions and enlisted A-list singers to complete his legendary 18 Months album. A few years later, he again shifted course, delivering two volumes of Funk Wav Bounces, another sharp directional shift. With SMOKE THE PAIN AWAY, Calvin Harris steps into his indie-electronica era, harking back to the sound and rhythms of Avicii. The new single is an honest reflection of an artist who continues to evolve and redefine his boundaries with every new release.
