This is HOT
David Guetta's incredible sixth studio album unites three years of production work with David's desire to produce records that strike a chord with his huge army of fans and equally, opens the hearts, ears and minds of others. His most sophisticated and unexpected work, "Listen" is an evolution, with a range of surprises, from mid-tempo new single "Dangerous," to a ballad with Sia. Changing his production style from creating beats and laying vocals to working in a more traditional sense, this song-based album was crafted from simple guitar/voice or piano/voice, then produced. "Listen" is about taking risks, and the results are spectacular.
"I could have chosen to repeat the style that has become so successful for me, but I wanted to grow as a producer and push myself to the limit. Try new ideas. Get out of my comfort zone. Create songs that stand up whether played by a DJ, a rock band or an orchestra. I worked with piano, violins, guitars and blended them with electronic elements. It's also my most personal album lyrically, which is why I called it 'Listen.' Dance too, but really it's from the heart."
Having already scored his first international chart hit from the album with "Lovers On The Sun," a track that hit #1 in the UK, France and for a record-breaking 7 weeks in Germany, completing his club-beat EP and the bridge from what came before, "Listen" feels ready to build on the successes of David's 2011 album "Nothing But The Beat," which sold over 4 million copies globally, and GRAMMY-nominated 2009 album "One Love."
