Calvin Harris & Dua Lipa

Calvin Harris has been on a roll with all of his A-list collaborations over the past several years including everyone from Rihanna and Frank Ocean, to Nicki Minaj and Gwen Stefani, as well as John Legend. His sound has been bouncing around from today's ubiquitous radio-ready EDM pop to slow-jamming R&B fare. On his latest release, Harris harks back to old school 90s house goodness in “One Kiss" - which unsurprisingly features a very of-the-moment pop princess...none other than English singer-songwriter/model Dua Lipa who is currently all over the FM airwaves with her “New Rules" hit.

“One Kiss" is definitely very reminiscent OG Calvin Harris. Think his earlier pace-setting staples like “I Created Disco" and “Disco Heat“ way before being Taylor's beau and becoming one of the richest DJs on the planet. The track brings back fond memories of that catchy classic house sound that swept Manhattan during the heyday of Crystal Waters' excellent 1991 “Gypsy Woman" house anthem. That's the direction where Harris takes “One Kiss"' along with his latest leading lady and EDM diva Lipa. And it's certainly working. Harris brings the bumping soulful grooves while Lipa belts out sassy diva vocal declaring that “one kiss is all it takes to" fall in love with her.

In today's music day and age of cookie-cutter commercial EDM sounds, it's nice to go back to basics and hear some quality deep house. And maybe going back to that is the future of dance music this time around.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
