Review: David Guetta - "One Love"

The press release calls David Guetta's second album "genre-busting" and it's hard to argue with that. You can call it pop music, but in reality it's an amalgam of techno, hip-hop, pop, gospel and rock - which is what makes One Love a perfect pop disc.

Lead single "When Love Takes Over" features Kelly Rowland, acting as a muse of sorts. That song is simply devine, a perfect summery pop confection with diva vocals and a great beat. The Destiny's Child member appears on two other tracks, including a hi-NRG duet with NE-YO called "Choose." Also triple-hitting is Will.I.Am who appears solo, with fellow Black Eyed Pea Apl De Ap and with the whole gang on a remix of the Guetta-produced chart-topper "I Gotta Feeling." "I Wanna Go Crazy" is heavy techno with a spunky hook of "I wanna celebrate life with a Suicide Girl."

The title track, featuring Estelle, is brilliant. A mesmerizing blend of techno and gospel choirs, "One Love" is a true stand-out. Akon guests on "Sexy Bitch" and David Guetta does the impossible - makes his voice palatable. The lyrics are quite funny, also.

In reality, this is fun party album with a lot of great dance music. I really recommend it.
