<\/a>\"David_Guetta_-_One_Love_(Official_Album_Cover)\"<\/a>  <\/span><\/p>\n

by Will-W<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

French DJ\/Producer David Guetta<\/em> is rapidly gaining notoriety in the mainstream after having packed the dancefloors of Paris<\/st1:city> and Ibiza<\/st1:place> since the early \u201890s.  <\/span>His latest release from EMI<\/em> One Love<\/em>, is a magnum opus of collaborations with urban and pop artists.  <\/span>Single When Love Takes Over<\/em> featuring a now label-free Kelly Rowland<\/em>, is already a massive hit on a global scale with its memorable piano arpeggio hook.  <\/span>The general public of Top 40 listeners need little introduction to this summer\u2019s biggest track I Gotta Feeling<\/em> featuring The Black Eyed Peas<\/em>, which is being plugged simultaneously.  <\/span>A good indicator that this is indeed 2009's hit of the summer is that when you enter a search on YouTube,<\/em> you get a page full of parodies.  <\/span>Check for yourself<\/a>.  <\/span>The album features a new mix of the track with additional nuanced electro-infusion.  <\/span>Likely due to label contractual reasons, Fergie<\/em>\u2019s original vocals have been muted off this version.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/span> <\/p>\n

One Love<\/em> frankly has many hit and miss moments.  <\/span>Many of the tracks undoubtedly are riding the new wave of hybrid urban\/dance tracks dominating the airwaves right now, most notably Right Round<\/em> by Flo Rida<\/em> and Rihanna<\/em>\u2019s string of recent hits.  <\/span>On The Dancefloor<\/em> featuring Will.I.Am<\/em> of The Black Eyed Peas<\/em>, is an example where this hopping of genres is done right.  <\/span>Will.I.Am<\/em> wisely lets Guetta<\/em>\u2019s production do the talking while he raps neatly \u201cin the pocket\u201d.  <\/span>The album\u2019s title track featuring Estelle<\/em> is another standout with a feel-good vibe, although many will note that its beat is almost identical to that of World, Hold On<\/em> by Bob Sinclar<\/em>.  <\/span>A second Kelly Rowland<\/em> collaboration, It\u2019s The Way You Love Me<\/em>, could well be a possible follow-up single.  In all honesty she sounds much more at home on this track than on When Love Takes Over<\/em> where she barely reaches the high notes.  <\/span>Gettin\u2019 Over<\/em> features long-time guest vocalist Chris Willis<\/em>, who is responsible for one of Guetta<\/em>\u2019s biggest hits Love is Gone<\/em>, and it is one of the set\u2019s best tracks even though it is a more modest replication of that mentioned hit.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

The album is stalled by many awkward moments.  <\/span>Latest single Sexy Bitch<\/em> featuring reggae-pop artist Akon<\/em> lacks any memorable hook or substance.  <\/span>The same applies to Memories<\/em> featuring one of hip-hop\u2019s hottest acts, Kid Cudi<\/em> and a third Rowland<\/em> collaboration featuring Ne-Yo<\/em> titled Choose<\/em>.  <\/span>Toyfriend<\/em> featuring Wynter Gordon<\/em> sounds as though it does not belong on this urban-centric set, as does trance-oriented If<\/em> We Ever<\/em> featuring Makeba<\/em>.  <\/span>Perhaps this is why they were relegated to the end of the album. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

Despite its highlights and shortcomings, One Love<\/em> is a step in the right direction for pop music, bridging the gap between two genres, urban and dance, which have been growing too far apart in recent years.  <\/span>Although it might not last forever, the sound is very \u201cnow\u201d and it is Guetta<\/em>\u2019s moment to shine.  <\/span>One Love is in stores August 24th<\/sup> in Europe and the following day in North America<\/st1:place>.  <\/span>For more David Guetta<\/em>, visit http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/davidguetta<\/strong><\/font><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
