GUETTA CONTINUES ELECTRO POP DOMINATION

Has there been a month that has gone by in the past year and a half where we have not heard a David Guetta song on the radio?? Well, prepare for another electro / dance pop filled year, gleaming with surprises.

Nothing But The Beat set to be released on 26 August 2011, will feature two discs, one instrumental – *sigh of relief for all the die-hard dance fans*. And a more commercial ‘vocal’ disc featuring contributions from heavy weight artists including Nicki Minaj, will.i.am, Jennifer Hudson and Chris Brown. The inclusion of usual collaborators such as Akon and will.i.am are of no surprise. The suspense comes in the form of unexpected guests Jennifer Hudson, Jessie J and Timbaland.

Having heard a leaked track Titanium originally recorded with Mary J Blidge, it is clear that this album will make waves and almost certainly break boundaries in the pop / dance sphere. Despite the track exuding chemistry between vocalist and producer it has been reported that Mary J Blidge’s vocals have been replaced with that of Australian pop star Sia.

There are more surprises though. Nicki Minaj, who although no stranger to working with Guetta, has reportedly recorded a more vocally indulgent record. Having heard Nicki sing (in the recording process) and being surprised by her ability I am rather thrilled by this inclusion.

Could this be the start of a new electro pop era?
