“Smoke The Pain Away,” Calvin Harris’s first vocal single in years, is released

“Smoke The Pain Away,” Calvin Harris’s raw new single, is now available.

This is the superstar DJ’s first vocal track in a long time, and it’s a poignant one.

Harris sings, “Too late, I’ve been up for days / I can’t even see straight / No, I can’t smoke the pain away.” Harris has a new, rough appearance to go with his upcoming chapter.

This represents a milestone in his musical development, moving beyond his DJ beginnings into a genre-blending area that reflects his drive to push creative boundaries, according to a press statement.

His massive smash “Miracle,” with Ellie Goulding, peaked at number one for eight weeks and sold over 2.91 million copies worldwide. “Smoke The Pain Away” comes after that.

This summer, Harris will become the first performer to perform twice at the same Ibiza venue in one season at Ushuaïa Ibiza, making history in the process. 

With “25 carefully curated shows, delivering a world-exclusive residency unlike anything seen before,” the producer, whose biggest hits include “One Kiss” with Dua Lipa, “We Found Love” with Rihanna, and “How Deep Is Your Love” with Disciples, will take over Tuesdays and Fridays at the renowned party destination.

According to a press release, “Tuesdays will usher in a new era—introducing a fresh concept that pushes the limits of production, sound, and spectacle, while Fridays will continue his reign as one of the island’s most in-demand events.”

“I’m thrilled to be the first artist to hold a double residency at Ushuaïa Ibiza, as this is something that has never been done before,” Harris stated. Without the amazing fans who have supported me throughout the entire process, none of this would be possible. I can’t wait to experience the enthusiasm of people from all around the world coming together in the core of electronic music once more. This season will be unlike any previous because there will be two residencies and two very separate nights.
