Hear Calvin Harris Tease a New Country-Oriented Song Featuring His Own Vocals

Calvin Harris says his country song, "Smoke the Pain Away," is coming soon.

Today (March 5), the Scottish superstar producer posted a 30-second clip of himself singing a new song called “Smoke the Pain Away.” In the video, occasionally filmed in soft focus, Harris sits on a chair and plays an acoustic guitar to the foot-stomper, with the clip then cutting to show him (and his long hair) behind the mic. “Smoke the Pain Away” has early support from Harris’ wife, BBC 1 Radio presenter Vick Hope, who’s in the comment section saying “Those vocals…YEEEESSSSS!! “Smoke the Pain Away” is far from the first time a dance artist has crossed over into country, with Avicii famously building the bridge with his 2013 all-time smash “Wake Me Up.” Diplo followed suit with a 2020 album and 2024 mixtape of country music released under his given name, Thomas Wesley, while a list of other producers have made one-off country/dance singles.
