On Sept. 14, David Guetta released his first full-length album in three years. “7” is a 27-track album that features a plethora of artists together, like Faouzia, Madison Beer, Bebe Rexha, J. Balvin, Jason Derulo, Nicki Minaj and Willy William. The trendy and bold album concludes with 11 tracks featuring Jack Back.

The first official release, “Don’t Leave Me Alone,” featuring Anne-Marie, was a great return from releasing the single “Flames” featuring Sia, which was added to the album later.

Commenting on “Don’t Leave Me Alone,” Guetta said, “This is a big moment for me. This is the first single of my new album. This is the first time I play it at a big festival like this. It’s a special moment, I promise … It’s about friends being together and about new music, pushing it forward.”

“I’m That B****” featuring Saweetie is definitely one that breaks away from the trendy and typical hits we have seen from Guetta. Mildly bass-heavy, the song is an anthem of self-confidence and just dismissing people’s opinions. “Lookin’ in your eyes, all I see is your fear / But can you see me all up in the air.” With a very choppy and upbeat typo, “I’m That B****” is a true feel-good song and club tune.

“She Knows How To Love Me,” featuring Jess Glynne and Stefflon Don, is a personal favorite. With an edited sample from Little Richard’s “Tutti Frutti,” powerhouse Jess Glynne, also known for “Rather Be” and “Hold My Hand,” sounds exquisite on this track. The incredible singer mixes it up by staying within a near-vocal-fry zone until her range soars into the chorus. The heavy drums and brass of trumpets also had a nice flare to the bopping tune. In the interlude, both Don and Glynne mix with “Ooh I got it / Pull up with this party, yeah, you know I get it popping / I ain’t Batman but I robbin’.”

“Light Headed,” featuring Sia, is probably one the most familiar-sounding tracks from “7.” As a great collaborating pair, Guetta and Sia have been bringing top hits like “Titanium” and “She Wolf” since 2011.  The lyrics are the same from the demo recorded in 2015, but with this new release, “Light Headed” was re-recorded with vocals and a new production.

Guetta’s “7” is an extraordinary album where there is bound to be a song for anyone. With such diversity and a plethora of amazing artists, both popular and slowly rising, Guetta has created an amazing platform and work that exhibits so many talents and best work, be it the remixes with Jack Back or just pop anthems with Sia or Madison Beer. Overall, Guetta’s newest album is an amazing piece of work that will have listeners involuntarily grooving to the beat.
