"I first heard of Parisian DJ David Guetta (a fixture in Ibiza and Paris) on the "Pioneer: The Album Vol. 3" while living in Spain (Ibiza CDs are EVERYWHERE) with his fabulous single "Love Don't Let Me Go." After a long wait, "Just A Little More Love" is being released in North America---it's ABOUT TIME!!!. His album is a pleasing blend of styles and moods, all of it intensely danceable. The main highlight for me was not only Guetta's fantastic mixing, but the soulful, searing vocals by gospel phenom Chris Willis (backing vocalist for Amy Grant ,CeCe Winans, Twilla Paris, Garth Brooks, and Dolly Parton among others) that made the album come alive. "Just A Little More Love" sounds like a throwback to the heyday of the `80s, with elements of funk and disco scattered throughout the driving beats. The album spawned a number of singles, including Ibiza megahit "Love Don't Let Me Go."This North American release features an altered tracklist from the European debut, adding the Just For One Day (Heroes) remix from Guetta's new album F*** Me I'm Famous (named after an Ibiza tradition), cuts several others (Chris Willis' You, Atomic Food), and substitutes edits for several (Just a Little More Love Elektro edit, Distortion vocal edit, Just a Little More Love Wally Lopez remix edit). The majority of the thirteen songs are vocal-driven, with the exception of 133 and Lately, both instrumentals. Themes range from the noble: social reform (Can't U Feel The Change), self-empowerment (It's Alright), love and desire (the campy Sexy 17, People Come, People Go, Give Me Something, the riveting Love Don't Let Me Go, You Are The Music) and just plain fun (Distortion). This North American release is much more geared for club play with the addition of Just For One Day and the edits/remixes. A danceable feast for the ears and refreshingly original. Remember to check out Guetta's new album F*** Me I'm Famous as well."

YES!!!

"This album is hottttt!!
I especially love the songs with Barbara Tucker, such as "It's Alright" and "Give me Something." Hello, it's the story of my life. Give me something... or nothing at all.
Preach it!"
