When Love Takes Over

Comments

  June 20, 2009 12:00 EDT

The internationally adored DJ David Guetta scored big with his 2008 hit "Love Is Gone," and all the production ingredients are in place to display Kelly Rowland's most iconic vocal yet on "When Love Takes Over." The simple piano melody builds with an ethereal synth shimmer, adding to Guetta's roster of global dance love anthems. Guetta and Rowland have more in common than their current smash—they're the perfect pair because their biggest hits were also collaborations; in this case, Rowland's "Dilemma" with Nelly. "When Love Takes Over" follows Guetta's No. 1 dance hits "Love Is Gone" and "The World Is Mine" making "When Love Takes Over" his hat trick to the top. The single is his second to climb the pop charts, and Guetta is tapping even more collaborations featuring Kid Cudi, Estelle and Will.i.am on his "One Love" album due in late summer. —Michael Menachem
