David Guetta strikes again - this time with vocal powerhouse Jennifer Hudson!
Definitely not a bad offering, although somewhat of a generic and disjointed sound. Starting off sounding quite unique it soon becomes easy to draw comparisons to Rihanna's "Only Girl (In The World)" track. I would expect more from Guetta than to use generic, overused synths.
Although there is no disputing Jennifer's talent and diversity, and despite her beautiful high notes... it comes off too harsh when coupled with such a dance heavy number. One thing is made very clear through this collaboration... R&B is certainly on a steep decline. Jennifer, who is considered to be one of the genre's biggest talents has decided to check her high octaves at the door and explore the booming dance genre. This emphasises the fact that the face of contemporary music has changed significantly.
Kudos to both producer and artist for testing the waters though and trying something different. Its just a pity that they didn't push the boundaries further and try to find a way to incorporate the essence of both talents.
