THE DROP: David Guetta’s "Getting Over You" takes electro to the extreme mainstream

19 May
We here at TGRI felt David Guetta’s One Love was one of the most exciting albums of 2009. Well, with this video for the spiced up version of duet with bombastic voiced perpetual Guetta collaborator Chris Willis “Getting Over You,” this party is clearly continuing into 2010. Yeah, that’s Fergie on the defiant love ballad turned relentless dance track, and yeah, that’s LMFAO “in the studio, bitch.” There’s no myth to the magic of Guetta. Take very well crafted yet basic melodies, infuse them with racing and mellifluous synths, and fill them with loud and beautiful voices. Guetta feels like a modern day Giorgio Moroder or, an even more apt comparison, Frenchman Cerrone, as he has mastered the art of extremely dance friendly pop music. I never thought I’d see the day when electro and underground dance would be Peoria palatable, but this is it. If a fan of having your radio on at any point in morning or afternoon drive time, or listening to your favorite hot mix on ClearChannel operated station DJ, here’s the “peak hour banger” for the soccer moms. Somebody had to do it…why not David Guetta?
