18 Months by Calvin Harris

18 Months, Calvin Harris's third album, came out on 26 October 2012 through Deconstruction, Fly Eye and Columbia, and it's the moment the Scottish producer stepped back from the mic. Where his earlier records leaned on his own voice and a nu disco strut, this one hands most of the singing to others and goes all in on electro house, big-room builds and drops engineered for maximum lift, with Dillon Francis, Nicky Romero and Mark Knight among the producers in the credits.
The gamble paid off absurdly well. Counting "We Found Love", Rihanna's hit that featured him, the album yielded nine UK top-10 singles, from "Bounce" and "Feel So Close" to "Sweet Nothing" and "I Need Your Love", a first for any album and two more than Michael Jackson had managed from one record. It went straight to number one in Scotland and the UK, gave him his first Billboard 200 entry, and drew Grammy nominations.
