96 Months

About

Calvin Harris is one of the UK’s most prolific—and successful—DJs and producer. Since the mid 2010, he’s been splitting his attention between his disco-influenced <i>Funk Wav Bounces</i> albums and the more electronic-leaning Love Regenerator project, alongside a constant stream of the dance-pop hits he is best known for. Arriving in August 2024, <i>96 Months</i> collects 15 of those singles together in one place: eight years worth of Harris-produced chart-toppers and his own anthemic floor-fillers—plus two more recent cuts with returning collaborators Ellie Goulding and Rag’n’Bone Man. With the speed and intensity at which trends in music can shift and evolve over the better part of 10 year, it’s a testament to Harris’ timeless ear that <i>96 Months</i> (a “greatest hits” by any other name) plays more like an album of fresh material than a catalog retrospective. Indeed, the earliest releases included here—“How Deep Is Your Love” the ubiquitous 2015 teamup with Disciples and 2016’s equally omnipresent “This Is What You Came For,” a Taylor Swift co-write with a lead vocal from Rihanna—still sound just as commanding and au courant as the newer material these tracks sit alongside. So too, does the 2019 rework of “I’m Not Alone,” which beefs up the thumping dance beat to surpass even the stratosphere-busting levels of the original mix. .
