Having already set a hugely impressive precedent so far in 2014, scooping three consecutive Beatport #1 successes with a trio of meticulously worked, club-focused tracks including Shot Me Down and Bad, as well as announcing a host of coveted Ibiza residencies and festival appearances, David Guetta is back with news of an eagerly awaited summer single. Lovers On The Sun, featuring a standout vocal from rising star Sam Martin, is a testament to how Guetta’s sound has continued to evolve since the release of landmark, Grammy-nominated albums ‘One Love’ and ‘Nothing But The Beat’ and is sure to make a make a big impression on the charts this summer.
Centered on Martin’s excellent vocal, Guetta, alongside co-producers Avicii, Giorgio Tuinfort and Frederic Riesterer, exhibit just how far their esteemed production skills stretch across the précision - engineered, thoroughly immersive dance music. Shimmering guitar melodies, innovative beat programming and a series of expertly timed instrumental breakdowns give ‘Lovers On The Sun’ the genuine, feel-good energy that only the biggest and best dance records can command.
Also showcasing the collaborative side to high-end dance music, not to mention David’s willingness to work alongside some of his favorite contemporaries, ‘Lovers on the Sun’ makes for a compelling record. Perfectly geared towards the summer, it’s a track that underlines Guetta’s ability to elevate electronic music beyond the normal realms of chart-driven possibility and one that already feels like a crossover hit single in waiting.
Having only just released the last of his club transmissions for the year in ‘Blast Off’ featuring Australian producer Kaz James, as well as announcing residencies at both Pacha and Ushuaia in Ibiza and an extensive run of European festival dates, 2014 is already shaping up to one of Guetta’s busiest years yet. Now, with ‘Lovers on the Sun’ also firmly on the horizon, there is scope for 2014 to be one of the most successful yet too.
