Superstar DJ Calvin Harris and singer Sam Smith have just dropped their new song 'Promises', however, the DJ recently shocked fans when he revealed he would be unlikely to tour again.
During a joint interview with Calvin and Sam, Calvin revealed the bad news for his fans. He said he has no plans to tour soon. He already has regular shows in Las Vegas and Ibiza and says, "I've done tours before, don't get me wrong, but I mean, for me, I think my personal strength is in the studio, and it's what I enjoy the most."
However, it's not all bad news, as Calvin is still releasing music and his latest single 'Promises' is sure to be another massive hit. In the interview, Sam revealed how the new collaboration came about saying he, "Hit up Calvin on Instagram". He went on to say that they, "Had an amazing day together writing the song".
Speaking to our team, Calvin also admitted that the photo of himself with Sam Smith that he tagged as being in Ibiza, was actually a photo he had taken in Los Angeles! The DJ made the mistake because he was in Ibiza at the time, "that's the magic of the Internet," he said!
After confirming his new collaboration earlier this week, Calvin Harris posted a photo of the Japanese inspired artwork, showing the song title to be 'Promises' Calvin Harris captioned the photo, 'CALVIN HARRIS // SAM SMITH // very excited about this one !!! @samsmithworld coming Friday presave link in bio'.
Then Calvin released the lyric video for his new collaboration.
