Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2

Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2 is the sixth studio album by Calvin Harris, released in August 2022 on Columbia Records and self-produced by Calvin Harris. Arriving five years after the critically beloved first volume, the sequel extended the analog funk and soul aesthetic of its predecessor with an even broader and more eclectic guest list including Busta Rhymes, Chlöe, Justin Timberlake, 21 Savage, Dua Lipa, and Tinashe. The single 'Potion' with Dua Lipa and Young Thug became a major hit and a highlight of the summer festival circuit. While some critics felt the sequel lacked the freshness and surprise of the original, the album demonstrated Harris's continued mastery of warm, groove-oriented production and his unparalleled ability to attract the world's biggest artists to his sessions. Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2 is a worthwhile continuation of one of pop music's most successful stylistic reinventions.
