David Guetta
Everytime We Touch may be the newest release from David Guetta, named number 5 in the Top 100 DJ’s, but this single offers nothing new to credit him for his better work.
With a hint of Bodyrox beats in the background, and vocals that are reminiscent of Maroon 5, the resulting sound comes off as boyband-esque and unfortunately for Guetta, amateurish.
As a DJ, we expect a number of remixes to have been made, but with 5 mixes in addition to the single, it is almost of album length and becomes tiresome after the second time around.
The third and final single from his ‘Poplife’ album, Guetta has had more successful tracks off this record. Love is Gone, Love Don’t Let Me Go, and Baby When The Lights were all well received in the clubs and charts alike, but whether his name alone is enough to carry this bland and repetitive single is questionable.
Its place in the album is done cleverly and on purpose flowing onto the next track, like any professional dance album is expected to do so.
But as a single alone, Everytime We Touch is lacking in impact to really make it worthy of a chart place, and is an anti-climax from the other stellar singles released from ‘Poplife.’
