David Guetta unveiled "Lovers On The Sun"

David Guetta decided on a wild west theme for his new "Lovers On The Sun" music video. The track is the fourth single and the the title track taken from Guetta's newest four-track EP, along with "Shot Me Down," "Bad," and "Blast Off." French electro music producer and DJ teased the follow-up to 2011 breakthrough LP "Nothing But The Beat" with a trio of unusually hard electro-house buzz singles before retreating to more familiar ground on the Avicii-assisted, Sam Martin-voiced "Lovers On The Sun."
The blockbuster collaboration is one of those euphoric, vocal anthems you're probably expecting with a release like this. This summer jam is catchy and upbeat and features American singer-songwriter Sam Martin on vocals and was co-produced by Avicii and plugs into a similar country/folk/EDM hybrid as the Swedish DJ's own "Wake Me Up." This features guitar work by Mike Einziger of the rock band Incubus. The multi-instrumentalist also co-wrote the track.
The song is heavy on guitar and whistling, reminiscent of numerous westerns. The feel of the song (except for the parts when Martin cuts out) are a bit like the music from Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained. The song now gets a suitably epic visual starring Goodfellas actor Ray Liotta who portrays a villain who intent on torturing our hero when he is saved by a poncho-wearing babe with magical powers. It's refreshing to see a comparatively big budget video in the DIY era and the French DJ makes every cent count with a special effects-filled extravaganza.
The Marc Klasfeld-directed clip is western-themed, as the sound of the song dictates, follows Liotta and his villain friends on a chase through the desert looking for a cowboy and a girl with super powers after escaping from being tortured. After a long night of love-making and hiding, the two are found the next morning by Liotta and instead of killing them in cold blood, he decides to do challenge them to a duel. Oblivious to her magical powers, Liotta thinks this is a good idea until he goes to draw and she uses the power of the sun to melt his and his partners in crimes weapons and scare them away. It's a clever twist on your typical spaghetti western-Themed with a better than average soundtrack.

David Guetta, Ne-Yo and Akon are "Play Hard"

After multiple previews, David Guetta finally unleashed the official visuals for his old co-horts Akon and Ne-Yo-assisted new dance track, "Play Hard," the third single from the re-release of 45-year-old French DJ and record producer's fifth studio album, "Nothing but the Beat 2.0," out now on iTunes. The wacky and tacky video, on the other hand, alternates between inexplicable weirdness and poking fun at racial stereotypes — once some people might find offensive!
The chorus melody of the song, "Play Hard," for a soon to be summer club classic is all about working and playing hard, heavily incorporates the classic sample from Alice Deejay and DJ Jurgen's 1999 Eurodance hit "Better Off Alone." The iconic beat track's message is simple: First you work hard, then you play hard, and after that you start all over again - it's the circle of life!
With an arsenal of cataloged wildin out, club tunes it should come as no surprise that French producer has opted to "Play Hard" on his latest fresh dance tune. Joining Guetta on his electro-heavy jam are hitmakers - American R&B singer-songwriter Ne-Yo and American-Senegalese singer/rapper Akon, who both provide the vocal backing for the record, which also takes advantage of a few audio techniques. Both artists also previously collaborated with Guetta on tracks from his "One Love" album - Ne-Yo on "Choose" and Akon on "Sexy Chick." Guetta also produced Akon's 2010 single "Angel."
Pop and Latin American culture meet in Guetta's latest visual ride. The French DJ/producer gets a taste of life in Mexico as he takes a trip down south with Ne-Yo and Akon. The fun-filled clip includes from rodeo's to Ne-Yo eating pancakes to Guetta getting his body inked before hitting a classic rodeo show. Instead of bull riding, the three international stars round up to judge a good old dance competition. The clip has just about everything going on in it. However, the barrage of attention-grabbing visuals won't distract you from the infectious beat, which is really all that matters.

David Guetta Unveils "Just One Last Time"

David Guetta has revealed the new Sci-Fi visual for his smash banger, "Just One Last Time," which was released as the second single and ninth single overall from 45-year-ild French superstar deejay's latest compilation of works, "Nothing but the Beat, 2.0," a re-release of his fifth studio album, "Nothing But The Beat," featuring six new tracks, including previous single, "She Wolf (Falling To Pieces)." It will be given an official release on New Year's Eve.
Guetta never stops and he has created timeless house and dance tracks that didn't need to be riddled with crappy rhymes. The trailblazing Frenchmen, who recently nabbed the first-ever American Music Award for EDM, has an exasperated new video for his haunting balled-anthem cut, "Just One Last Time," features vocals from Swedish alternative pop duo Taped Rai, and marks duo's debut release into the international market.
Filmed in Los Angeles by director Colin Tilley, the accompanying music video for for "Just One Last Time" is on fire, literally! Along with a touching love story as this intense and emotional rescue mission unfolds. The video begins with a man entering a bedroom. On the bed there is a burned note which reads, "Without your love I would die." He lays down in bed and a machine plugs into his head which causes him to go back in time. He wakes up in the same bed, but instead of being alone his girlfriend is sleeping next to him.
He sneaking out of house to go and play a game of shoot pool with Guetta at the pool hall, before he gets a call and learned that the house is on fire. The girlfriend that he left at home asleep remains in the inferno, and so Guetta drives him rush back home and he runs into the burning house to find his girlfriend, who is still in their bedroom. He picks her up and jumps out the window. After the fall, she survives but he gets killed in the process. The video is perfect for such an upbeat song and it even has Guetta spinning at this super cool deck, while flames are rising behind him. The cinematography and the effects on this video are on point.

Ludacris raps about living for "Rest of My Life"

Renown for his hard Hip-Hop appeal, Ludacris switches lanes, and teams up with Usher and beat-behemoth David Guetta released the music video for his new dance track, "Rest of My Life," taken from the 35-year-old rapper's upcoming eighth studio album, "Ludaversal," which is slated for an early 2013 release. It's the follow-up to Ludacris' 2010 album "Battle of the Sexes," which debuted at No.1 and spawned the hits "How Low" and "My Chick Bad" with Nicki Minaj.
It's been a while since we've heard something big from the southern spitter. Though the rapper released a couple of music videos this summer, his last significant hit was a surprise appearance on the remix of country singer Jason Aldean's "Dirt Road Anthem." Now, he is back. The new track pushes all the right buttons as far as pedestrian club anthems go, but certainly doesn't reinvent the wheel. The dance-inspired tune finds him serving his usual bold raps, soaring hook from Usher, and Euro-crazed instrumentation from Guetta.
The pop-driven track with a dance beat and an undeniably inspirational sound. "Rest of My Life" opens with earnest vocals from Usher before Ludacris puts away the dirty south rap verses and raps about living life to the fullest over French DJ's sonic soundscape. The song features the same kind of mid-tempo groove and dreamy vibe heard in Usher's last collaboration with Guetta, "Without You." During the instrumental sections, jolting electronic effects add an aggressive energy that should have people on dance floors everywhere going crazy.
We get soaring shots of the sky, crashing ocean waves add an inspirational vibe to Ludacris' new clip, directed by Christopher Sims, matches the track's uplifting vibes with some fantastic cinematography from around the world, from oceans to mountain tops and some occasional Usher dance moves, Guetta surrounded by wisps of smoke, and some American flag action, the video uses some visuals, quite frankly you just can't go wrong with it. So buckle in for the powerful reunion of two thirds of the 2004’s Yeah crew, Eargazms should be expected.

David Guetta debuts 'She Wolf(Falling to Pieces)'

David Guetta is back with another video with sweeping nature shots and overall vibe work for his newest emotional track, "She Wolf (Falling to Pieces)," the lead single the re-release of the album, "Nothing But the Beat 2.0," a repackaged edition of Guetta's 2011 album "Nothing But the Beat." It's definitely not the typical French DJ' shot - features a pack of hunters sledding through the arctic in pursuit of wolves, who proceed to 'break them to pieces,' literally. Winter has already arrived for Guetta.
"She Wolf (Falling to Pieces)," is a song about love with dark overtones, and features his collaborator Sia Furler, an Australian emotive singer, who was not in the music video, along with horses, sled dogs and heavily-clothed warriors. Like many Guetta collaborations, this anthem will undoubtedly quickly appear on the night club scene. The house music producer previously teamed up with Australian singer on "Titanium," which became a hit after its release in July this year.
Once again, it's the heartfelt lyrics that shine over the handbag house as Sia confesses: "You hunted me down like a wolf/ I felt like a deer in headlights. You loved me and I froze in time/ Hungry for that flesh of mine/ But I can't compete with a she wolf who has brought me to my knees," Sia sings while the clip shows footage set on a snowy landscape with the same inimitable gusto. The result is nothing we haven't heard already, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Sweeping arctic tundras, grassy vallys, a nail-biter of a chase scene, Guetta and Sia leaves us shattered.
The explicit clip is filled with action-packed footage as it revolves around Eskimos hunters chasing a bleeding wolf, which can transform into a woman, in a northern George R. R. Martin landscape. It starts off with a shot of a naked woman from the back on top of a cliff, then it moves on to a wounded wolf running from a handful of the hunters, and every time they get close enough to shoot an arrow at the wolf, the world begins to fall to pieces. The wolf is supernatural, as it is able to make the hunters "explode" on every breakdown of the song. The canine then transforms back into the naked woman at the end, indicating that she is a werewolf, referring to the song title.

David Guetta's in control for 'I Can Only Imagine'

Utilizing face mapping technology, David Guetta has dropped an expensive looking clip for his new electro-house song, "I Can Only Imagine," his dance/pop collaboration with Chris Brown and Lil' Wayne which serves as the sixth international single off his latest hugely successful LP, "Nothing but the Beat," which offers the same experience as one of Guetta's numerous remix sets, is in stores now.
After seeing a behind-the-scenes clip of the 44-year-old French producer's "I Can Only Imagine" video last week, the final product is here. The French disc jockey calls on Wayne and Brown for a lyrical assist for the club-ready track, and the two hip-hop and R&B staples show up for their respective verses. The threesome performed the club banger for the first time at the 54th Grammy Awards back to February.
Directed by Colin Tilley, the visually-engaging futuristic theme clip used six video sets and it shows Guetta in a control room of sorts with holograms and 3D screen to control a cyborg dancing in a hall. "David Guetta actually has this control room that's made out of all holograms," said Tilley. "It kinda feels like 'Minority Report.' It's just got a really crazy vibe and he's controlling everything that's happening in his world. He's controlling these dancers that are going crazy, he's controlling Chris Brown in this room with this mask on."
The clip shows a dance floor virtual reality based around Guetta and a futuristic DJ booth. While Wayne raps in front of a skateboarding backdrop, Guetta navigates Brown through a nearly zero-gravity dance routine that ends when Guetta finally removes his hands from the control pad on his turntable. There are light-up suits, face-mapping, skateboard ramps, and laser-beam eyes. Guetta described the video as having "crazy, super strong images, and futuristic images." Overall, pretty slick effort!

Jessie J Steps Out Of The Dark In "LaserLight"

Jessie J is back with a flurry of high notes in the video for her latest little escapade, "LaserLight," serves as the seventh overall single from the re-release of her debut LP, "Who You Are." The repackaged album will also include her international single "Domino" and brand new track "My Shadow." The David Guetta-produced, and 'Titanitum'-inspired cut, boast boisterous lyrics about a missing love, will be available for purchase on May 14th.
As you can imagine, the Guetta tune is an upbeat, shimmering dance-pop jam that has Jessie declaring, "You make me feel good, you make me feel safe, you make me feel like I could live another day." It sees the 24-year-old UK Pop powerhouse's collaborating with Guetta for a rather subdued and random track. The song may be 'generic' for Guetta's catalogue of songs, but for Jessie, it is exploring a new 'genre' in this new mellow/yet dance tune. Yet, it is clearly time for Jessie to progress to a new era of her career.
The French DJ has the ability to create that emotion down-to-a-tee with his derivative/reductive music production. So it's no surprise that it's just what Jessie is serving up on new for track "LaserLight." What struck me most about "LaserLight," is how concise the vocal is. No runs, no over the top belts, just a clean and solid delivery of a melody that finally allows a listener to appreciate her voice's tone and timbre without the audio/mental overload usually provided by the tricks and trills she so loves.
In the new video, the British pop diva steps out of the dark, and walking the city, in a movie theater, surrounded by many laser lights, and in the club. For the verses, she is seated in a dark movie theater and in the backseat of a car, with her hair slicked back off her forehead and giant hoop earrings. She's ever-fashionable, especially in that leather jacket with pointed, protruding spikes on the shoulders. Those are fierce, not to mention dangerous. When she rockets into the upbeat, bouncy chorus, she comes alive and springs to her feet, dancing, singing and surrounded by laserlights. Jessie is incredibly animated, using her hands, her face, her mouth and her eyes to express herself.

David Guetta & Nicki Minaj Unveil "Turn Me On"

Taking a pile of machinery and building the rap superstar, David Guetta flips Nicki Minaj's switch and literally turns her on in the pair's new video for a steampunk-inspired affair "Turn Me On," the fifth single from French disc jockey's fifth studio album "Nothing but the Beat." and the song will be also featured on Trinidadian raptress's upcoming sophomore CD, "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded."
The uptempo club song, with heavy beats features Minaj singing the chorus with her own (maybe slightly auto-tuned) pipes. Guetta told UK newspaper The Sun: "People don't really know her as a singer and she's killing it on that track. People know her for her crazy rapping but that shows what she can do as a singer. Sometimes I meet people by accident or they call me up but with Minaj it was me chasing her. For a year I wanted to work with her and she was hard to reach. But the moment we got into the studio and had the music it was great."
It's cool that Guetta is going for a little bit of a different sound, but different for him sounds like what everybody else is doing in the dance music world. Still, having Minaj sing makes the tune worthwhile, even if “sing” must be used in quotes because of all the voice-processing. The best results come when Guetta mercilessly rips artists from their comfort zone - take Minaj in songbird mode on "Turn Me On," which showcases a suspiciously melodic performance by the calmer side of Harajuku Barbie, with massive hooks that somehow let her make the transition from freak to diva.
Guetta plays a mad scientist creating his very own Minaj from scrap parts in the Sanji-directed ‘Frankenstein’ feel promo, which opens on Guetta trying out some early cosmetic-surgery tacticsin an old-school lab, putting the final touches on his Minaj doll plans, and unleashes it onto the world as she slowly transforms into the very human-looking Minaj. The clip ends with Minaj continuing her journey through town, as other female dolls make their escape chasing after Minaj.

David Guetta Riffs On 'Super 8' In "Titanium"

For the music video for "Titanium," the first of three promotional singles and the fourth single off of his fifth album "Nothing But The Beat," David Guetta takes a dip into the cinematic and recruits "Super 8" star Ryan Lee for another supernatural tale. The single features vocals by Australian pop singer-songwriter Sia Furler. The most intriguing hook-up on the album, "Titanium" sees Guetta giving the Aussie songstress some long overdue commercial appeal, while Sia's vocals bring a quirky twist.
"Titanium" is a strong, light and corrosion-resistant metallic element. "Titanium" alloys are used in aircraft, armor plating, missiles, naval ships and spacecraft. clever writing from Sia. "Titanium" is an emotional near-ballad which draws from the genres of pop, house and urban-dance. The song's lyrics are about inner strength. Sia's vocals on "Titanium" received comparisons to those by Fergie and the song was also musically compared to Coldplay's work. Critics were positive towards the song and noted it as one of the standout tracks from "Nothing but the Beat."
Guetta once explained: "That song is interesting because it's different from anything else on the album. All of the guests on the album are from pop and R&B, and 'Titanium' is a little bit like a UFO flying over it all because Sia is a more of an indie artist. I think she's the only white girl on the record [Laughs]. I fell in love with the song. At first, she wrote that song and demoed it. She wanted to give it to another artist, but I felt her voice is so incredible and the song is so emotional that I really wanted her to stay on it. The song also uses some acoustic elements which is very different from what I usually do. I think it makes it very interesting."
The video features a high schooler (played by Lee) running for his life after accidentally exposing his hidden power at his school. As the Sia-assisted single revs up, Lee's character slowly makes his way through a deserted, totally destroyed school hallway, eyeing a teacher who's stricken with fear. Soon the viewer realizes that the boy is the cause of the damage, and the one to be afraid of the little man can move objects with his mind. The clip ends with a showdown in the woods between Lee and SWAT team, and after Sia sings, "Shoot me down/But I won't fall/I am titanium," the kid blows his enemies away.

David Guetta & Usher Span Globe "Without You"

French DJ-turned-dance music producer David Guetta is closing in on a banner 2011, and spreads love and unites the world with his powerful beat in a newly-premiered video for his electro-ballad club-ready song "Without You," featuring syrupy, plaintive and anguished vocals care of R&B crooner Usher, is the third single from Guetta's latest guest-happy, star-studded and hit-filled solo Lp, "Nothing but the Beat," which dropped in August.
Guetta told Billboard magazine it's "maybe the biggest song I've made in my life." Guetta also told MTV News why he chose Usher to guest on this song. "It's just totally emotional," he said. "Some of the record is a proper ballad, and then it goes to that crazy dance beat. It's perfect for him, because he's famous for his ballads. And he's also now famous for those big club records that he comes with. He's an amazing dancer, so I felt like he was the artist that I needed."
The gripping and suggestive video for "Without You" demonstrates the universal, connective power of music. It's certainly not a new sentiment, but it's made in a unique way, courtesy of this video. The French DJ turns up the music to pump up the crowd while Usher belts out the lyrics to convey the message. "Every continent is [coming] back together and it's one big party and there's no more different continents, there's no more different colors - we're all the same and we're all together," explained Guetta. "That's what the video is and that's what the music is."
The promo opens with a little intercontinental flavor, driving home the fact that Guetta is beloved all over the world. While Guetta is laying down beats for hordes of people, Usher is all alone on a beach. The duo erase the boundary with their music and bring it across the globe and the flashy clip is about all the continents forming together again and they all have a party as party-people jump like maniacs to the beat, they make the earth quake with their powerful feet. he megastars are trying to send the message that love and music is universal all throughout the world and unite the fans.

Timbaland Enjoys Parties In "Pass at Me"

Bikini clad babes rule the world in Timbaland's new island-themed video for his new single "Pass At Me," the first official single from Timbaland's forthcoming third installment of his album series "Shock Value III," which drops in November. From the gorgeous islanders to the breathtaking vistas, this fun bottle-popping video captures everything beautiful about tropical locations.
Timbaland teamed up with Cuba's own rapper Pitbull and French DJ David Guetta to create this fun-loving track, a record full of uptempo vibes that help with the rump shaking. The trio hit an island and look pleased with themselves as they enjoy the crystal ble waters and surround themselves with full of gorgeous models and native beauties for a good time. This uptempo track will definitely make you want to dance and the new "Pass At Me" video doesn't spare the fancy footwork.
It's a fun and tribal style clip, which wastes no time establishing its direction with an opening scene in which a bevy of bikini beach babes frolic in the water. Next, viewers see Pitbull, who hangs out on board for a deserted paradise filled with bootylicious dancers and serves as yacht captain as the vessel speeds through the water. The 'Planet Pit' MC opens the song and handles the bulk of the lyrics here and spends most of his time out on the waters.
Apparently, that much booty makes Timbaland crazed and the "Shock Value" rapper surrounds himself with dancing hotties, dressed in red carnival-type outfits who stays on dry land, and enjoys watching girls in tribal-themed, bright red bikinis dance around him. He mostly just makes odd faces as he looks at cuties and yells, "Oh, my God!" While Guetta finally shows up in some footage of one of his massively attended DJ shows for the final minute, as the scene shifts to a concert setting, with the French DJ who produces the single spins turntable and pumps up the crowd on stage performing a sold-out live concert for thousands of screaming fans.

David Guetta Debuts "Where Them Girls At"

French hitmaker David Guetta teamed up with rappers Flo Rida and Nicki Minaj for his latest chart topping dance track, "Where Them Girls At." The official video for the first tune, lifted from French house music producer's forthcoming August-release LP "Nothing But The Beat," surfaced via Facebook, it shows the giant bubbles which contain the song's beats, drifting across the cities and start the ultimate summer dance party.
Despite the slow building anticipation for the clip, it's nowhere near Lady Gaga or Beyoncé levels of complex—just your average urban dance party. Instead, we find Guetta perched atop a building looking out onto his party empire, releasing bubbles of music that instantly prompt civilians to burst into spastic, dancing convulsions. Beware of seemingly innocent bubbles floating in the New York City sky. They may appear harmless, but touch one or come too close to its orbit and the next thing you know, you'll be spasticly dancing out of control.
Even Minaj can't escape the bubbles and their beat, swallowing one as it floats towards her, then spitting it out, along with a typically fierce Minaj verse as expected anytime she's credited with a cameo. Minaj continues on her trajectory to prove she really is just a monster-eyelashed robot and shows up for her rap surrounded by shirtless men and basically wide-eyes her way through it, before returning to hang out with her roommate. She wonders what can she say and always she manages to creatively use her vocal animation while surrounded by male figures to tease listeners. She warns listeners that she does not endorse her line in Guetta's bubble filled rhythmic presentation.
Rida, somewhat impervious to the bubbles, is way too cool to dance like a marionette so he shows up at the beginning to survey the landscape. The Floridian does not know to begin with the plethora of women surrounding him but one thing is for sure and that is there is no rush. while Guetta is busy on top of a roof causing a scene with his infectious rhythm, which results in people below dancing with excitement. French DJ takes to his turntables to launch things into full gear. Who knew people really needed laced soap suds to get a summer dance party going.
