The Heat of the Week: Calvin Harris – Slide (feat. Frank Ocean & Migos)
Calvin Harris took a hard left-turn since his days of “We Found Love” and “Feel So Close” when it was announced he had a collaboration with hipster favorite Frank Ocean and rap stars Migos. The single, “Slide,” is a summer-soaked piece of electronic R&B that is so smooth it’s hard to not appreciate.
The Breakout Select: The Chainsmokers & Coldplay – Something Just Like This
The only way The Chainsmokers could properly unveil their Coldplay collaboration was with a surprise performance at the BRIT Awards with the Chris Martin-lead band. While “Something Just Like This” follows the similar dance-pop path Alex & Drew have rose to stardom with, its undeniable the track is destined to rise to the peak of Top 40.
