“Slide” by Calvin Harris featuring Frank Ocean & Migos

Calvin Harris pulled off a real coup with "Slide". Announced on 21 February 2017 and out on Sony Music two days later as the lead single from his fifth album, Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1, it marked the first time Harris, Frank Ocean and Migos had worked with any of each other, and Ocean's first collaboration since going independent: the liner notes list him as appearing courtesy of himself. Quavo and Offset fly the Migos flag.

Harris handles nearly everything else, playing grand and Rhodes piano, synths, drum machine, bass and guitar, then producing and mixing it himself. The result is a lazy, sun-warmed nu-disco roll with handclap beats and pitch-bent backing vocals, and Ocean opens it in a pitch-shifted voice with a nod to a Picasso painting that sold for a fortune.
