At long last, the funk wavs are bouncing once more. Today (August 5), dance hitmaker Calvin Harris has released his latest LP, Funk Wav Bounces, Vol. 2, the followup to 2017’s Vol. 1 of the same name.
The rollout of this album has revealed a genuine tidal wave of musical royalty, with Dua Lipa, Young Thug, Halsey, Justin Timberlake, Pharrell, 21 Savage, Tinashe, Normani and Offset all gracing the album’s four previously released singles, which together indicated that this album is, like its predecessor, fusing Harris’ electronic productions with hip-hop and R&B influences and an altogether smooth, stoney sensibility.
