Dance producer extraordinaire Calvin Harris has just released his new single “Slide,” and surprisingly, it’s not just another club-ready track for the unthinking millions to enjoy—it’s a calculated career shift, and one that will surely pay off for him and his collaborators all around the world. That description is in stark contrast with the EDM, drop-heavy music he’s become known for over the past several years. “Slide” separates Harris from the EDM-pop he not only helped push into the top 40 arena, but which has also gotten away from him recently. "Slide" seems engineered to be a hit before most people have even had a chance to listen to it. “Slide” is Harris’ first single of 2017, but he hasn’t been away from the spotlight for long.
