18 Months is the third studio album by Scottish DJ and musician Calvin Harris. It was released on 26 October 2012 by Deconstruction, Fly Eye and Columbia Records. It marked Harris's first album to not feature him on vocals, instead focusing more on songwriting and production. The album also shows a shift from Harris' usual nu disco-style songs, focusing more on an electro house style. A commercial success, 18 Months debuted at number one in his native Scotland and in the United Kingdom, earning Harris his second consecutive number-one album on the UK Albums Charts.
It was supported by the singles "Bounce", "Feel So Close", "Let's Go", "We'll Be Coming Back", "Sweet Nothing", "Drinking from the Bottle", "I Need Your Love" and "Thinking About You", all of which, along with "We Found Love" featuring Rihanna, reached the top 10 of the UK Singles Chart, making 18 Months the first album in history to spawn nine top-10 singles. "Let's Go" and "Sweet Nothing" were nominated for Best Dance Recording at the 55th and 56th Grammy Awards, respectively.
