Morning After is a moody, emotional affair that, in my book, solidifies dvsn as one of the top new R&B acts to be on the lookout for.

Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1 is a short, slight detour from what Calvin Harris is normally known for. It's generally enjoyable but doesn't leave much of a lasting impression or take many risks. Here's to hoping for more from Vol. 2.
