This year's summer hit?

[guiltyblade]

personally I don't mind it. Calvin Harris has been making this style of music for a while. Its nothing new, its not something that should surprise you. Its the same style hes had and has been doing his mainstream thing for the last 4-5 years.

Its like being surprised of Skrillex making dub or Armin making trance.

This, this is a moisture inducing Ibiza tune.. IMO, big stuff and top of many a chart right now.

great song. great video. I give credit where credit is due. If I found out this was written and produced by Ed Paris, I would say "man Ed Paris is a talented mother fucker." I would want to see your workflow and your studio too.

P.S. that dude is ripped

Yes, check out how bare the production is in Call Me, Maybe. And that's why it works so well.

It would surprise me greatly if Skrillex suddenly started making dub.

I can't get over how passive/aggressive it is. "here's my number, so call me maybe" is the oddest damn pick up line ever. Besides that, it's certainly a very catchy pop song with a funny ending to the video. And the sky is the limit, or so I hear.

Personally I don't like that Calvin Harris song. I don't think it will be a hit but only time will tell. Sometimes its hard to predict, especially when the record pools get music before the single is released so you may hear it and think instant hit but it doesn't get popular for months. A few recent examples..LMFAO, "Party Rock Anthem" was available in January, didn't hit until the summer and then rode the wave as the summer anthem. "Sexy and I know It", I downloaded it June, new it was going to be a monster but it didn't hit until November. Obviously the labels space it out to drain every ounce out of a song. Same thing with Rihanna "Where have you been", its popular now, I put it in a mix in January.On the other hand Bruno Mars "The lazy song" when I first downloaded I knew it was a hit and like 3 weeks later it was huge so sometimes even if you know the song is a bona fide hit, its hard to tell when it will happen.

Right now Flo Rida "whistle" is a big hit so I think they will ride with that for awhile but "I Cry" is going to be massive when it hits.
what do you guys think??

Over 14 million views and a Today show appearance because of this....

Call me maybe works because that hook is devastatingly simple yet contagious.

Regarding the current state of Music there's more than ever out there and room for whatever people choose to enjoy.

Going back to Calvin Harris' songs sounding like other songs - when he released 'I'm Not Alone', did anyone else think it sounded like 'Madagascar' by Art of Trance?

Don't really love this track, and I actually do like some of Calvin Harris' stuff.

Regarding "call me maybe", i really don't get it. I mean, in the past, there have been crappy pop songs that i didn't like, but i saw how they could be "catchy". I don't get anything about "call me maybe" and i dont understand why anyone would want to hear it. its just...nothing. oh, well. thank goodness i only heard it for the first time like 2 weeks ago and havent heard it since.
