Description

Listen, David Guettas incredible sixth studio album, unites three years of production work with his desire to produce records that strike a chord with his huge army of fans and equally, open the hearts, ears and minds of others. His most sophisticated and unexpected work, Listen is an evolution, with a range of surprises, from mid-tempo new single Dangerous, to a ballad with Sia. Changing his production style from creating beats and laying vocals to working in a more traditional sense, this song-based album was crafted from simple guitar/voice or piano/voice, then produced. Listen is about taking risks, and the results are spectacular. Having already scored his first international chart hit from the album with Lovers On The Sun (#1 in the UK), Listen feels ready to build on the successes of Davids 2011 triple-platinum album Nothing But The Beat and Grammy nominated 2009 album One Love.

Enlisting special guest collaborators including UK songstress Emeli Sandé, who lends her vocals to the powerful What I Did For Love, Irish three-piece The Script, limitless singer-songwriter John Legend and US rap star Nicki Minaj on Hey Mama, there are a broad range of styles and influences that help make Listen such an exciting record. In a brilliant close to the album, David also teams up with enchanting vocalist Sia on the heartfelt and beautiful The Whisperer. Then, literally, at the 11th hour, his Titanium partner delivered the jaw-dropping Bang My Head, completing his finest body of work.

Listen also highlights another important element of Davids mission too introducing the world to incredible new talent. Rising star Sam Martin, featured vocalist on both Lovers On The Sun and new single Dangerous (A-listed at Radio 1 and Capital), is an artist who embodies Davids ability to identify stars of the future. Listen proves David is right at the top of his game. From his willingness to take these risks and experiment with his own sounds, to joining forces with world-leading artists from a host of different musical backgrounds, Listen is the work of a true, modern-day music icon. Marketing includes a TV advertising campaign targeting relevant programming and demographics.
