[EDM.com] Calvin Harris Is Back Behind the Mic in Folksy Electronic Track, "SMOKE THE PAIN AWAY"

Calvin Harris is back behind the mic for the first time in seven years in his new single, "SMOKE THE PAIN AWAY."

Known for lending his own vocals to generational dance hits like "Feel So Close" (2011), "Summer" (2014), "My Way" (2016) and "I Found You" (2018), the chart-topping producer took a step back from singing in recent years. His comeback, however, is nothing short of captivating.

Harris this week surprised fans with the release of "SMOKE THE PAIN AWAY,"  a unique blend of country and house music with a folksy twang. Layered with acoustic guitar riffs, harmonica patterns and his signature raspy vocals, the track builds into a euphoric chorus driven by a pulsing bassline.

Harris also recently debuted a rugged mountain-man aesthetic, fully embracing this new sonic direction and its folk-inspired style. And while it's certainly a departure, it still has tinctures of that nostalgic, unmistakable, dopamine-fueled Harris sound.
