Music Review - Calvin Harris “I Created Disco”

Here is another example of quality electro pop music from the U.K. that us American’s have no clue about, and it is a shame. Currently Calvin Harris is tearing up the Eruopean Dance charts with his catchy brand of retro pop music. On “I Created Disco” it obvious that Harris doesn’t take his job too serious, he has fun with his lyrics and sounds. By blending 80’s synth pop, new wave, techno, disco, funky beats and sounds Calvin Harris breathes new life into the tired genre of “dance pop” (NOT TO MENTION HE IS CUTE AS HELL). “I Created Disco” is that fresh creative surprise I have been waiting for in music. I am sure you won’t disagree once you get the chance to hear this disc. That is, if it released here in the states anytime soon.

This c.d. is jam packed with hits and quality pop. “Acceptable In The 80’s” is a catchy and lively number with an awesome hook. There are also some really great re-mixes of “Acceptable In The 80’s” that are sure to please any dance floor addict. “Merrymaking At My Place” is a trippy, hilarious song with a funky sound. The lyrics to “Merymaking” capture the essence of “after parties” perfectly. Try not cracking a smile while you tap your toes to this one, I dare you!

“I Created Disco” has a bad ass driving beat which will leave you in techno heaven. “This Is Industry” is a fun pointed track which pokes fun at, can you guess?, the industry! At 4 minutes and 20 seconds “Love Souvenir” is the perfect stoner song for those chill out sessions after dancing too hard. The song “The Girls” is the best track on this disc, and is currently one of my favorite tunes of the summer. It is hands down the best song on this c.d. which is saying a lot.

“I Created Disco” doesn’t re-invent the pop/dance music wheel, but it does bring new life into a stale genre. With acts like “Goldfrapp”, “Annie” and “Kaskade” (all of which have new c.d.’s coming out this fall) making some of the only good electro pop out there these days, it is good to see a newbie bringing something new to the table. If you like silly, non-pretentious dance music with a smart sensibility then check this disc out, you will be in pop heaven once you hear it.
