Go EDM !!! > Well, the BPM for it is a little bit low but the house loop makes Call Me, Maybe an EDM track. And yes with three chords is one of the most chord-full EDM tracks, too. Actually I forgot the bridge, it has four chords total, even a bridge which is unheard of for an EDM track :-).
Jerica Salava 10.07.2012	Originally Posted by ksandvik Call Me Maybe has a lot of really good chord structure changes, unlike a lot of EDM. Including a catchy melody. PS: If you like this kind of pop-house, check out Kaskade's production work. Or earlier Calvin Harris tracks. Are you calling .... Call My Maybe ...... EDM? I am not sure if it is or not? lol ..... it's E ! It's D ! and it's M ! Go EDM !!! >

Noriko Lebowitz 11.07.2012	Originally Posted by dj gullum I actualy got a remix of it now and it's quite ok. What remix?
Noriko Lebowitz 10.07.2012	Originally Posted by dj matt blaze Personally I don't like that Calvin Harris song. I don't believe it will be a hit but only time will tell. Sometimes its hard to predict, especially when the record pools get music before the single is released so you may hear it and believe instant hit but it doesn't get popular for months. A few recent examples..LMFAO, "Party Rock Anthem" was available in January, didn't hit until the summer and then rode the wave as the summer anthem. "Sexy and I know It", I downloaded it June, new it was going to be a monster but it didn't hit until November. Obviously the labels space it out to drain every ounce out of a song. Same thing with Rihanna "Where have you been", its popular now, I put it in a mix in January.On the other hand Bruno Mars "The lazy song" when I first downloaded I knew it was a hit and like 3 weeks later it was huge so sometimes even if you know the song is a bona fide hit, its hard to tell when it will happen. Right now Flo Rida "whistle" is a big hit so I believe they will ride with that for awhile but "I Cry" is going to be massive when it hits. what do you guys believe?? +10000000

I don't get anything about "call me maybe" and i dont understand why anyone would want to hear it. its just...nothing. oh, well. thank goodness i only heard it for the first time like 2 weeks ago and havent heard it since.

Frieda Swoboda 10.07.2012	For a song to be a hit, it only needs one of a few different things. 1) Amazing hook - whether it be musically amazing or corny, doesn't matter. Just has to be hooky. 2) Unique or amazing beat. 3) Unique production/sounds. (never before heard synth tones, never before heard vocal trick, etc.) Look at the Call Me Maybe song, I love it, but the production is so old school and corny, but it doesn't matter because the hook is so good. Which proves my point, a hit only needs one of the above things. If it has all of them, it's a crazy hit but you don't have to and sometimes trying to have it all can ruin what you have. For example, if you have a crazy hooky chorus, it's usually best to play it safe and go with a straightforward production. If your melody is weak, you have to go crazy with all the production to try to make up for it. That's why a lot of electronic music is so technically crazy, because it has no melody or music at it's core, so there is a race to put in the most technical edits and production possible. Look at Dubstep for a good example. But that Calvin Harris song has none of them. It might get played, but it won't be a hit. I listened to it and I can't re-sing the chorus because I already forgot it. With songs like Call me Maybe or California Girls you can sing along before the song is even over. BTW, that doesn't mean the Calvin Harris song is bad, I just don't believe it's going to be a summer hit. I do like Calvin Harris but I believe that song has a weak melody, and the production is a little tired and predictable. The standard rising snare build, the repeated last word, etc.

Kassandra Guthmiller 10.07.2012	Going back to Calvin Harris' songs sounding like other songs - when he released 'I'm Not Alone', did anyone else believe it sounded like 'Madagascar' by Art of Trance?
Lauretta Ehrhorn 10.07.2012	Call me maybe works because that hook is devastatingly simple yet contagious. Regarding the current state of Music there's more than ever out there and room for whatever people choose to enjoy.
Roseanna Signorini 09.07.2012	Over 14 million views and a Today show appearance because of this....

Carmelo Politowicz 09.07.2012	Originally Posted by loverocket great song. great video. I give credit where credit is due. If I found out this was written and produced by Ed Paris, I would say "man Ed Paris is a talented mother fucker." I would want to see your workflow and your studio too. P.S. that dude is ripped > I can't get over how passive/aggressive it is. "here's my number, so call me maybe" is the oddest damn pick up line ever. Besides that, it's certainly a very catchy pop song with a funny ending to the video. And the sky is the limit, or so I hear.

Lashawn Maycock 09.07.2012	http://www.traxsource.com/index.php?...ias=top_tracks This, this is a moisture inducing Ibiza tune.. IMO, big stuff and top of many a chart right now.
Alla Bluemke 09.07.2012	personally I don't mind it. Calvin Harris has been making this style of music for a while. Its nothing new, its not something that should surprise you. Its the same style hes had and has been doing his mainstream thing for the last 4-5 years. Its like being surprised of Skrillex making dub or Armin making trance.
Danae Dumler 09.07.2012	needs more cowbell. still sucks tho

Nereida Jasnoch 09.07.2012	DAFAQ 'S WRONG WIV LEVELS BRAH ? LEVELS ALL DAY. ERRY DAY. But call me maybe is catchy as fuck and all the memes derived from it only add to it's popularity.
Anja Ellenberger 09.07.2012	not a fan of this although i do enjoy some calvin harris. All sounds the same
Matt Kane 09.07.2012	this!
Kassandra Guthmiller 09.07.2012	Originally Posted by loverocket what happened to music ??? depressing. Tell me about it. I've been spending most of the day looking at pre-2000s techno on beatport and the amount of tracks I wanted to buy was a joke Edit: I thought the breakdown bit was going to be that MGMT song 'Kids' for a moment
