"Let's Go" Calvin Harris ft. Ne-Yo

Let's commence the nominations for 2012's most forgettable summer hit with "Let's Go," the new single from Scottish DJ Calvin Harris. Already a Top 40 favorite after last fall's smash Rihanna collaboration "We Found Love" and solo hit "Feel So Close" earlier this year, Harris' latest will probably soundtrack many a sweaty house party and/or night out on the town in the coming months, but not on merit. Its thumping house beat is fairly undynamic and uninspiring, especially on the dance floor, leaving the track in sore need of an earworm factor. (Ne-Yo's sporadic, nondescript shouts of "Let's go!" hardly constitute an adequate hook.) But go ahead and let the bubbling synths wash over you; it won't hurt, and you probably won't remember come September anyway. B-
