Fergie makes us care about David Guetta’s new video “Gettin’ Over You”.

Posted in Music Videos on May 18th, 2010 by The Prophet

I’ve been too busy still jamming to Kid Cudi’s “Memories” that I didn’t realise DJ David Guetta was still releasing new singles from his album One Love.

The latest to be lifted from the disc is “Gettin’ Over You”, which is made relevant thanks to a feature from Fergie. Also included on the song are Chris Willis and LMFAO, but as I said before, it’s all about Fergie-Ferg.

The song does nothing for me and seems to be the weakest single from Guetta’s One Love, but the video is salvaged by Fergie’s fierce hair and hypnotic cleavage.

Feature whore Bruno Mars strikes again with new track “Her World Goes On”

Posted in New Music on March 12th, 2010 by The Prophet


He’s the guy singing the hook on Travie McCoy’s “Billionaire” and B.o.B.’s “Nothin’ On You”, and now singer-songwriter Bruno Mars has solidifying himself as 2010′s biggest feature whore with this newJustin Michael & Kemal club track “World Goes On”.

The song sounds like your standard Guetta so you’re not getting anything entirely new on the production side, but it’s still a good song and the appeal of Bruno’s vocals can’t be denied.

Hey here’s something that you may not already know about Bruno: He’s one half of writing-production duo The Smeezingtons who produced the Sugababes so bad-it’s-good hit “Get Sexy”.

Other than that there’s not too much info on the elusive boy, but we should know more soon thanks to the success of B.o.B.’s “Nothin’ On You” which I’m sure will lead to people investigating the man behind the hook.

Update – Song is not Guetta. Post has been updated.

David Guetta wraps up Madonna’s first single and talks Britney and Rihanna

Posted in News on March 5th, 2010 by The Prophet

DJ/producer David Guetta is currently in Australia to perform with Kelly Rowland at the Mardis Gras party this weekend, and as usual when the famous Frenchman was interviewed all people wanted to know about were the famous ladies that he’s been clocking up studio time with, and not actually David himself, so it wasn’t a shock when Nine MSN managed to get Davie to spill the tea on a bunch of his upcoming projects, including Madonna’s new single from her upcoming twelfth studio album.

“That’s done, the single will be out very soon and it’s amazing, I’m very happy,” he said about Madge.

And what about Britney Spears?

“We both want to do it I think, we just need the song.”

Alright. So what’s the tea on Rihanna?

“Same. I just need to find the right song for them. I think it’s going to happen.”

OK, so I can breathe a sigh of relief that he hasn’t yet managed to get his increasingly stale claws into the Queen B yet, and as far as Madonna goes I don’t really care what she does as long as I don’t have to stare deep into her vagina of doom again. Lord knows that I’m still trying to recover from that invasive “Celebration” music video.

Estelle gets her “Freak” on with David Guetta

Posted in New Music on February 26th, 2010 by The Prophet


After breaking cracking the notoriously difficult US market with her 2008 hit “American Boy”, singer-rapper Estelle is back to do it all over again with her new single “Freak” featuring Kardinal Offishall.

The David Guetta produced song was obviously created with the current dance trend in mind, with Estelle talk-rapping (think Ke$ha’s “TiK ToK”) over a club-friendly beat whilst Kardinal Offishall and a Soul II Soul sample help give the song a little more of an urban edge.

It’s not really my cup of tea but I think if anything is going to be a hit for her it’s probably going to be this.

Estelle’s third album All of Me will be released later this year.

David Guetta thinks he’s too cool for school in the “Memories” music video

Posted in Music Videos on February 9th, 2010 by The Prophet

David Guetta tries his hardest to be one of the cool kids in the video for his new single “Memories”, which features my man Kid Cudi and is one of the only songs that I actually like from Guetta’s One Love album.

Now I know that all these singles are actually by David Guetta and only feature other artists, but can he please stay out of the music videos? All these One Love video’s have the likes of Kelly Rowland, Kid Cudi and Estelle looking effortlessly fly whilst David Guetta bounces around behind them waving his arms and screaming “Look at me! I’m hip with the bling bling! Yay!”.

Some people are meant to be in front of the camera (Kid Cudi, K-Row) and others are meant to be behind it (David Guetta).

Rihanna hits the studio with David Guetta

Posted in News on February 7th, 2010 by The Prophet

Popular DJ-turned-producer David Guetta has confirmed that he’ll be working with pop singer Rihanna soon.

Although he didn’t go into specifics it wouldn’t be a shock if the music they are creating is for Rihanna and not for a Guetta project, especially since the DJ has been producing a lot more lately and has already been booked to work on the new Britney Spears and Madonna albums.

It is looking more and more like Rihanna will either re-release Rated R soon, or just drop a completely new album, with Ne-Yo also confirming in a recent interview that he’ll be writing with RiRi soon.

In the meantime Rihanna still has several Rated R related things in the pipeline, including the albums official tour, the new single “Rude Boy” and even an upcoming book titled Rihanna: The Last Girl on Earth.

David Guetta: “Dance music is the new Hip-Hop!”

Posted in News, Random on January 27th, 2010 by The Prophet

There’s been a lot of chatter lately over the current dance music trend thats so popular in mainstream music right now, especially amongst fans of urban music who seem to be growing increasingly frustrated as they watch their favorite artists turning in their R&B beats in exchange for high energy club tracks.

Amongst all the debates are arguments is one man who doesn’t see the craze dying down any time soon; David Guetta. The French DJ helped usher in the new musical craze thanks to his work with the Black Eyed Peas and Kelly Rowland, and recently opened up about his thoughts on the whole genre during a new interview with Idolator.

My first work as a producer was “I Gotta Feeling.” After that came the success of “Sexy Bitch” and “When Love Takes Over.” It’s not only me as a producer. It’s the fact that we came with a new sound in America, creating that bridge between the electro culture that comes from Europe and the urban culture that is more American—it’s such magic. Something totally different. I think America was always scared of dance music and always kept it very underground for such a long time. And now tracks like “I Gotta Feeling,” “Sexy Bitch”—and now Ke$ha, “TiK ToK—are doing really good on the radio. Of course, everybody loves to dance. But the idea is like, how can you make a record that can make people dance but also get played on the radio? What we’re doing with Will and with Akon—and what I’ve done with my album, One Love—it’s going to be the new hip hop. Dance music is the new hip hop.

I think dance music has much more credibility than your typical “fad” and it needs to be respected as it’s own genre (unlike auto-tune which is more like a gimmick), but when something becomes popular you get everybody doing it, and not always very well.

In some cases less is more, and not every artist can deliver a quality dance-influenced track like Kelly Rowland or Lady GaGa have done.

I love some of the current dance tracks out there but I can’t wait until we move onto the next trend (which we will) and dance goes back to artists who are genuinely influenced by the sound, and not just picked up by every pop artist under the sun trying to stay current and score a hit.

What do you think about the whole dance craze?

Ashanti & Celine Dion working with David Guetta

Posted in News on January 19th, 2010 by The Prophet


David Guetta is about to become one busy bee this year. In addition to producing on upcoming projects for Madonna, Britney Spears, Kelly Rowland, and Lady GaGa, the dance DJ can now add the upcoming albums by R&B songstress Ashanti and cheesy balladeer Celine Dion to his ever-expanding resume.

There’s been rumours for months now that Ashanti has been eager to try a more international pop-based sound on her comeback album and Guetta’s addition seems to prove it, but I wouldn’t quite write off urban music just yet with R&B producer-artist Tank also recently being added to Ashanti’s production line-up.

Even more surprising than Ashanti is news that Celery Dijon will work the with DJ, but it should be remembered that this isn’t the first time Celine has attempted to step outside the box with her producers after she enlisted Ne-Yo and The-Dream & Tricky to work on her 2007 album Taking Chances. The-Dream & Tricky will also join Guetta and Celine once again when they work on her new album.

2010 is shaping up to be a very interesting year for music!

Kelis loves her life. Oh, and she just dropped her new single “Acapella”. WOO HOO!

Posted in New Music on November 23rd, 2009 by The Prophet


[Download/Listen]

Sometimes all you need in life is a new Kelis song to make everything better. Am I right? Well you’ll be pleased to know that the former Mrs Nas just just dropped her new single “Acapella” from her upcoming fifth studio album which will be released through will.i.am/Interscope Records this Spring.

The club-ready tune was produced by dance DJ David Guetta, who along with Free School, Jack Splash, Boyz Noize, Diplo & Switch and a host of others will appear on Kelis new album.

My album is pretty much done. I signed a new deal and I’m madly in love with life and ready to share something with you. My new song is called “Acapella” and I wrote it with love and life in mind.

Kelis has been experimenting with dance beats long before it became a trend, and it shows. This track is a killer! If you never know anything in your life, just know to always believe in the power of Kelis and you’ll be fine.

Are you feelin’ Kelis’ new sound, or do you miss the quirky R&B that made her famous?

MUSIC VIDEO: David Guetta Feat Estelle – One Love

Posted in Music Videos on November 10th, 2009 by The Prophet

DJ David Guetta is hoping to repeat the success of “When Love Takes Over” and “Sexy Bitch” with his new single “One Love”, which is the third release from his latest album of the same name. The song features rapper/singer Estelle and has so far reached #81 on the Australian charts.

You know how people say that all Hip-Hop video’s look the same with their fancy cars and booty shakin’? Well to me all dance music video’s look the same. They always have people suddenly busting a move in the supermarket or the office or the train station. Basically just normal people bursting into fits of dance everywhere.

Now is it just me or does everyone else think that this song completely ripped off “World Hold On” by Bob Sinclair?

Britney Spears working with David Guetta!

Posted in News on September 8th, 2009 by The Prophet

Man of the moment David Guetta revealed yesterday during an Australian radio interview that he is working with Britney Spears after being contacted by her A&R.

Guetta is believed to have been contacted in regards to the singers next studio album, since her upcoming release “The Singles Collection” is currently due for release at the end of next month, with a possible new single being dropping within the next few weeks.

Spears has also recently clocked up studio time with Max Martin & Fernando Garibay.

I hope Guetta’s songs don’t get past her A&R because Britney and Guetta is something that I don’t wanna see. He’s a good producer but Britney isn’t the type to sound exactly like everybody else (which is one reason she hasn’t faded into obscurity) so I don’t want her doing what everybody else is. Who knows though, when she worked with The Neptunes & Danja she still had her own unique sound so it could turn out good. I just don’t want to see another super safe album like “Circus”, which I love, but it’s time for a change.

David Guetta has plans to work with Lady GaGa

Posted in News, Rumours on September 6th, 2009 by The Prophet

vogue

During a new interview with the Daily Star, DJ David Guetta has revealed that he may hit the studio with it ‘girl’ Lady GaGa.

“I have a lot of Americans asking to work with me right now,” Guetta told the Daily Star. “It’s very possible I will be working with GaGa as she’s signed to Akon’s label.

“Akon’s an incredible melodist. I’m going to Atlanta to work with him again later this month.”

Guetta is riding high off of the success of his latest album One Love which has so far spawned two hit singles. He’s currently working closely with his “When Love Takes Over” collaborator Kelly Rowland, producing the majority of her upcoming third studio album.

Meanwhile Lady GaGa is set to take next weeks VMA’s by storm after being nominated a whopping 9 times alongside Beyonce.

God, artists really need to start switching it up. As soon as somebody is hot every man and their dog wants to work with them, then they abuse the sound until it’s well past it’s use-by-date, before throwing it away like trash and moving onto the next thing. What happened to originality? Kelly Rowland was one of the first people to do the Guetta thing and now everybody wants a piece of the pie. Despite her obvious talent, GaGa’s music is looking like it’s all style no substance. I hope she does something more original for her next album like Kid Cudi and Christina Aguilera have been doing.
