Once again, Flo Rida has a hot track with a great hook and boring, unmemorable raps. But instead of borrowing the hook from Dead Or Alive or Eiffel 65, he got David Guetta's new best friend Sia to utilize her warm vocals to great magic on "Wild Ones" - already a top 20 hit in the US and a top five hit in the UK (where Guetta & Sia's "Titanium" has been blowing up the Offical Charts of BBC1.)
But since Sia's part is, as usual, the best bit from the track I was delighted to hear "Wild One Two" which is just the chorus from "Wild Ones" with an extended dance beat. Sia's voice works so well with dance music, something different from her earlier indie-pop output.

Review: David Guetta - "One Love"
.jpg)
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.
