Superstar deejay/producer/artist Calvin Harris is prepped to release his first album in five years.
Born Adam Richard Wiles, the 38-year-old Scottish wünderkind took to social media to reveal a billboard sign of his upcoming record, ‘Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2’, with a caption that revealed the release time: “Summer ’22”
Calvin’s last album, ‘Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1’, was available in June 2017 and the Columbia Records hitmaker previously released ‘Motion’ in 2014, ’18 Months’ in 2012, ‘Ready for the Weekend’ in 2009, and ‘I Created Disco’ in 2007.
In February, Calvin announced a summer residency at Ushuaïa Ibiza and he will return to the famous super-club to play on Fridays from June 3rd through September 2nd.
After selling two mansions in Los Angeles, Calvin – who lives on a 138-acre farm in Ibiza, Spain – recently admitted he’s “not good at being a celebrity” stating:
“I’m definitely happier just hanging out on my own in a room. Ever since I’ve been a kid that’s the case. I still have no hobbies. At some stage it would be great to learn to do something else. I have a very limited repertoire.”
Harris also conceded there’s been an element of luck behind his career success, admitting that his “reckless decisions” have paid off in spectacular fashion. Reflecting on his achievements, he previously said:
“I got lucky in different ways.” “I wrote the right songs at the right time, I picked the right genre of music, I started DJing in the US at the right time. If I hadn’t made all of these reckless decisions, I wouldn’t have been put in that place. Every time I play in front of people I’m celebrating the fact I got out of that situation.”
