The DJ and producer serves as the lead vocalist on his latest single, moving away from his usual collaborative style

Calvin Harris has released his raw new single, 'Smoke The Pain Away'. The superstar DJ is back with his first vocal track in several years - and it's a moving one. Harris - who has a rugged new look to match his next chapter - sings: “Too late, I’ve been up for days / I can’t even see straight / No, I can’t smoke the pain away."

Early in his career, the EDM megastar Calvin Harris sang his own vocals, usually doing a detached, semi-ironic hipster thing on tracks like “The Girls.” Even after his career exploded, Harris would sing occasionally.
