Calvin Harris Teases New Song With His Own Vocals

On March 5th Calvin Harris, real name Adam Wiles, is prepared to release a surprisingly new song that he has teased online for the world to react to.

Two things that make this song shocking are that he is back to using his own vocals again and this track has a very classic country feel to it. He posted a short clip of him singing the new song ‘Smoke The Pain Away.’ In the video, Harris looks like he’s about to drop the hottest country album of the year while he is playing an acoustic guitar to a foot drum beat.

He sings, “Eyes sparkle like the sun in June, grow up and wait for you. Wide awake in a hotel room, thinking ‘oh what could I do.’ Too late I’ve been up for days, I can’t even see straight, no I can’t smoke the pain away.” You can listen to the clip yourself below.

Fans immediately expressed their excitement and love for this. One fan reacts, “What is happening? I love it!.” Another writes, “Calvin vocals are back lfg.” In the caption, he wrote, “It’s coming,” and we have been informed that it will be released on March 14th. His last release was the song ‘Free’ in July 2024. Even though Harris is not scheduled for any performances in 2025, this is going to be one amazing start to his year.

Harris is no stranger to singing. He used his vocals in many of the songs that forged his career and initially left his fingerprint on the EDM world. Iconic songs like ‘Feel So Close,’ ‘Summer,’ and ‘My Way.’ His cadence and tone have a very pleasing sound. Many of us wish he would sing more songs that he makes.

‘Smoke The Pain Away‘ is not the first time an EDM artist has crossed over into the country realm. Avicii successfully achieved it first with his smashing hit ‘Wake Me Up,’ followed by Diplo releasing an entire album under his real name, Thomas Wesley, as his country project. This may be another defining moment for Harris, but the question we are left with is, does the song contain dance elements or does it stay fully in the country lane? This one will surely be worth the wait!
