CALVIN HARRIS – YOU USED TO HOLD ME REVIEWED

Calvin Harris will release ‘You Used to Hold me’ on Monday 8^th February, the fifth single to be taken from his gold selling album ‘Ready for the Weekend’.

The track begins on a mellow vibe which has become somewhat of a trademark for the man as previous single ‘Flashback’ proved. Needless to say it works well and delivers a nice tee off for the listener to indulge in the steady build up intro.

A smooth vibrant sound complemented by an edgy crust of distortion introduces vocals from Harris which sets the tone early on and provides a foundation which sticks throughout.

Tidy drums build up behind an early chorus which readies us for a classic drop, opening the door to a distinct fuzzy zip bass. The use of echoing after each chorus line is a nice touch and the well balanced pauses allow for pleasant patterning.

The track is a delightfully off-key progressive one which will have you feeling refreshingly optimistic about the year ahead.

The video features Harris and a tractor-like monster truck but his female company are as far from barn yard line dancers as you can get!

‘You Used to Hold me’ is a fine way to kick off 2010 for the man who had such a blinding 09.
