No matter how you feel about him, is hugely responsible for dance music crossing over into the American mainstream. Would ever be so big as he is today if Guetta hadn't helped break down those radio barriers?
Would be stealing the hearts of so many tween girls if it weren't for early hits from Guetta and? Guetta isn't afraid to get cheesy, but a lot of that cheese is so gooey, it's perfect.
Jan 02, 2009 Akon-Beautiful Remix lyrics.
His willingness to work with artists across genre lines has brought hits with rappers, singer-songwriters and pop stars alike. As we await the first notes of his next single with Nicki Minaj and, we take a look back at 15 of the best David Guetta songs to date, from the beginning of his career way before “EDM” in 2002, to today. David Guetta feat.
- 'Who's That Chick' Before she was tapped as Calvin Harris' favorite house-pop vocalist, Rihanna teamed up with David Guetta in the studio for this filtered-out dance floor hit. It wasn't as huge as “We Found Love” or other Guetta productions from 2010's One More Love, but it did chart as high as 51 on the. David Guetta - 'Atomic Food' This is just one of the strangest songs we ever did hear.
It's kind of a classic among old-school Guetta fans, definitely tells you how not serious people were about their house music back in 2002. It was a time when anything was game, even listing off food items over a killer beat.
Honestly, it's a dope tune, and certainly one that, once you've heard it, you'll never forget. David Guetta feat. - 'What I Did For Love' Scotland's Emeli Sande has one of the most honest voices in the game.
It's easy to see why Guetta tapped her for what eventually became the third single from his sixth studio album, Listen. It's a slow, strong build into the big release at the hook. You don't need much else in the verses besides Sande's vocal, but we still love the maximalism of that drop. David Guetta feat. Nicki Minaj - 'Turn Me On' Not gonna lie, this David Guetta song totally sounds like it was meant for Rihanna, and then Guetta couldn't get Rihanna, so he just asked Nicki Minaj to play the part of the dance floor songstress. Guess it doesn't matter, because this is one of the biggest hits of Guetta's career so far.
It peaked at No. 4 on the and stayed on that chart for 27 weeks. Who can forget the video, feautring Nicki Minaj as some kind of pleasure bot, coming to life mid-construction, singing from that weird metal skeleton mouth? That's the stuff nightmares are made of. David Guetta feat.
Nicki Minaj,, - 'Hey Mama' Guetta's sixth studio LP Listen has a lot of heaters, and this collaboration with Nicki Minaj tries to recapture some of that megahit “Turn Me On” magic. In my opinion, it does an even better job. Minaj shines, as opposed to sounding like a quick Rihanna replacement. Afrojack helps turn Alan Lomax's 1940s song “Rosie” into a Dutch house jam.
Bebe Rexha, famous now for her collab with on “In the Name of Love,” supplies the chorus, although she was originally not listed in the credits on radio. Record label execs thought three names was one too many for mainstream audiences to deal with. David Guetta feat. Nicki Minaj, - 'Where Them Girls At' This track opens 2011's Nothing But the Beat, Guetta's most pop-facing record of his career thus far. This is mainstream Guetta unbridled.
