If what you are looking for is the next great French underground House album, then sadly you will be greatly disappointed in the new David Guetta album One Love. Instead, what you will find is a string of pop hits put together with cameos by the new "in" singers. The DJ that once brought clubs like Le Rex in Paris to the forefront of the dance nation has changed courses to cater to what you would be able to find on a Top 40 radio station.
The album suffers by trying to be like an old LP you would hear in the discotheque, constantly playing with no breaks in the music much like a dance album. Normally this would work if the songs seemed to flow in to one another, having their own distinct rises and falls, playing off each other in harmony to make a never-ending dance track. However, the songs sound as if there was a cookie cutter formula for success repeated twelve times over. The production company must have thought if one conventional unimaginative hit must be great, repeating the recipe indefinitely must be like finding the lost city of Shangri-La of music.
One Love prevails over other albums in creating catchy, fresh new songs, but falls short in being musically inspiring. If you were to listen to each featured artist on their own, it would be more reminiscent of their own works. All David Guetta provides is an intricate house-inspired backbeat that drives singers like Fergie to put out her next big hit. However, Fergie could have done that on her own; we don't need Guetta producing more music for the sake of making his own mortgage.
