French DJ David Guetta first caught my attention when I saw the brilliant parkour/breakdance filled video to his catchy guitar/dance hit (#3 in the UK) of 2006 "Love don't let me go (Walking away)".



On "Pop life", he returns with more of the same; high octane dance songs, most of which are sure to be club classics. The CD can be played non stop as a continuous dance party.



Opening is the eurodisco sound of "Baby when the light" which somewhat reminds me of eighties group 8th Wonder (with Patsy Kensit). In a similar vein is "This is not a love song".



Lead off single "Love is gone" appears in two versions; an acoustic version with a fuzzy bassline, similar to "Love don't let me go.." which is the radio edit remix, and a house version. Either way, they are both brilliant, and guaranteed to move you on the dancefloor.



Other standouts are the techno "Everytime we touch", the trance feel of "Delirious", "Tomorrow can wait", the guitar laced "Winner of the game" (with a rock edge), and the trance assertion of independence, "Never take away my freedom" (which samples from the Felix hit "Don't you want me").



There are 3 bonus tracks; the trance feel of "Don't be afraid", the eurodisco "Take me away", and the hit that started it all for me, "Love don't let me go (Walking away)"."

Amazing comeback!!!

"It's been three years since David Guetta's last original production (Guetta Blaster in the summer of 2004). I've got to say I own both of his original CDs, including the aforementioned one and "Just A Little More Love", and I was very much taken by surprise at how amazing the new CD is. The CD has taken on a different direction of more tek-house tunes than previously. But the quality of the music is superb. It is a dance album in all its power. The CD boasts some great collaborations with various vocalists and DJs/producers. This is definitely going to be one of my favourite CDs this year. I do recommend it to anyone who is familiar with David Guetta's work, as you would not be disappointed. Five stars all the way!!!"

"I'm a big fan of his music, and I would have to say that I normally don't buy cds, but this is the ones I just had to purchase. Its rare for me to find a CD that I can listen to the whole thing and like ever song in it. The way that he sets up his songs flow from song to song. If you like this kind of genre then you should enjoy this cd."
