Calvin Harris has released a new single, ‘Blessings’, with UK vocalist Clementine Douglas.The new track brings the Scottish producer back to his dance music base, after veering country with this last single, ‘Smoke The Pain Away’, released in March. For the vocals, he’s tapped Birmingham-born, Brighton-based singer, producer and songwriter Clementine Douglas.
Fans have picked up on ‘Blessings” similarities to the music of Chicane, most notably his 1996 trance hit ‘Offshore’ and the 2000 single ‘Don’t Give Up’ with Bryan Adams. Nick Bracegirdle, aka Chicane himself, commented “I would like to thank Calvin Harris for making me current again…….” under one of Harris’ Instagram videos of him working on ‘Blessings’ in the studio. Calvin Harris’s weekend Instagram post, in which he’s holding a chicken, to promote the single release may also hint at that connection.
Coming up at the end of the month, Calvin Harris will begin his Ushuaïa Ibiza 2025 “double residency”, running through mid-September. Featured guests include Fatboy Slim, Patrick Topping, Romy, Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso, MK, Dom Dolla and more.
