David Guetta album coming soon

Author: admin

david-guetta    Though he’s logged plenty of time on European pop charts over the last few years, French electro-house maven David Guetta hasn’t really established an American fan base beyond the confines of the club. That could change this year: Two advance singles from “One Love,” Guetta’s fourth studio album, already have broken onto Billboard’s Hot 100, while “I Gotta Feeling,” the Black Eyed Peas track he produced, just scored its eighth consecutive week atop that tally.

 

“One Love” certainly comes stocked with a roster ripe for a mainstream crossover: Akon, Ne-Yo, Kid Cudi and Kelly Rowland all turn in guest appearances, as do will.i.am and apl.de.ap of the Peas; they return Guetta’s favor in “On the Dancefloor,” a pulsating disco-rap jam replete with space-station keyboard squiggles. Estelle crops up too, in a dramatic title track that recalls the early-’90s work of Deee-Lite.

 

Guetta is at his best (and his most commercial) when he’s equipped with a melody as chewy as his beats. “When Loves Takes Over,” with Rowland, works beautifully as a cheesy synth-pop makeover of Coldplay’s “Clocks.” Unfortunately, he whiffs on a perfect opportunity for a tuneful techno-soul bomb in “Choose,” his strangely flat Ne-Yo collaboration.

 

For the most part, though, Guetta knows what he’s doing here. Bring America to the club? Nah. He’ll bring the club to America.

Radiohead quitting music

Author: admin

radiohead    Radiohead may not make another album as their last LP nearly ‘killed’ them.

 

Frontman Thom Yorke has revealed the band aren’t ready or willing to throw themselves into the ‘creative hoo-ha’ of recording a follow up to 2007s ‘In Rainbows’.

 

He said: ‘None of us want to go into that creative hoo-ha of a long play record again. Not straight off.

 

‘I mean, it’s just become a real drag. It worked with ‘In Rainbows’, because we had a real fixed idea about where we were going.

 

‘But we’ve all said that we can’t possibly dive into that again. It’ll kill us.”

 

The band – which is comprised of Thom, guitarist Jonny Greenwood, drummer Phil Selway, bassist Colin Greenwood and guitarist Ed O’Brien – is not, however, totally defunct.

 

They released a new track via their website last week in tribute to the last British World War I veteran to pass away, Harry Patch, who died aged 111 last month.

 

All proceeds raised from the song, titled ‘Harry Patch (In Memory Of)’, will be donated to the Royal British Legion – the UK’s leading military charity.

 

Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, Thom said: ‘I had heard a very emotional interview with him a few years ago on BBC Radio 4.

 

‘The way he talked about war had a profound effect on me. It became the inspiration for a song that we happened to record a few weeks before his death. It was done live in an abbey. I very much hope the song does justice to his memory as the last survivor.

 

‘It would be very easy for our generation to forget the true horror of war, without the likes of Harry to remind us. I hope we do not forget.”

 

‘Harry Patch (In Memory Of)’ can be downloaded from Radiohead’s website www.radiohead.com/deadairspace.
