“Slide” by Calvin Harris reminiscent of summertime
April 14, 2017
The phrase “Song of the Summer” is used to describe many of Calvin Harris’s songs, his upbeat tempo marking the tunes memorable and popular. Kids, teens and parents hear his songs being played on the radio constantly.
As soon as I heard Harris’s new song, “Slide”, I immediately thought of summer. Unlike most of his songs, “Slide” starts out with subtle piano, and then breaks into his regular positive and cheery rhythm. Harris is joined by Frank Ocean to complete this new and upcoming song.
Once you start listening to “Slide”, you won’t be able to stop. The beat flows through your body in a way you will not be able to control. The songs lyrics got stuck in my head and had me singing them all day long.
Harris and Ocean have a way of complementing each other in this soon to be top hit. Harris’s gift of changing pop trends and pushing them more and more forward with each song he releases, is combined with Ocean’s talent of storytelling within lyrics in this new single.
“Slide” is one song that will be heard all throughout your summer. In the car, in your room, and even on the beach, this song will be stuck in your head. Calvin Harris and Frank Ocean will continue to change the music world with their popular and catchy songs.
