After starting out as an electro-pop dork in the late ‘00s, the Scot then turned himself into an EDM titan across the following decade, making massive radio hits with gigantic drops and euphoria at their heart.
On the first edition of Funk Wav Bounces half a decade ago, Harris enlisted the help of an A-List cast of friends, from Frank Ocean to Nicki Minaj, to make an album that still had the radio in its sights, but felt more appropriate for the poolside than a warehouse rave. Five years later, a surprise second edition is here. As well as having a guestlist just as stacked as its predecessor, Vol. 2 largely carries on with a similar energy to the first edition, and asks you to sit back and relax.
