Calvin Harris Announces Release Date for New Album

EDM star Calvin Harris teased his new album with a few tweets Sept. 24, and now he has released the date for his follow-up to 2012's 18 Months.

MTV News reported that Harris, via Twitter, revealed that his fourth studio album, Motion, will drop Nov. 4:

Harris shared his first single for the album, "Summer," in March and the second track "Blame," which features guest singer John Newman, earlier this month. On Halloween, Harris will join Kendrick Lamar and Ellie Goulding in the Bermuda Triangle for 1,862 lucky fans who won a contest sponsored by Bacardi.

On his last effort, Harris endeared fans with singles like "Bounce," "Let's Go," "Feel So Close" and "Sweet Nothing."

Billboard wrote in 2012, "18 Months is not as cohesive of an album as it would like to be, and some of the non-single tracks fail to touch the pleasure points that a song like 'We Found Love' unlocks. But then again, 'We Found Love' is one of the strongest singles of the past two years, and 18 Months has about five more songs — again, most of which have already graced radio for months — that reach its stratosphere."

The disc jockey only has a handful of shows left for 2014, including a run of five dates in Australia. Check them out below:

Sept. 27: Las Vegas, Nevada, at Wet Republic
Oct. 5: Austin, Texas, at Austin City Limits Festival
