He already had the hottest song of the summer with “When Love Takes Over,” and now DAVID GUETTA has one of the hottest albums of the fall with his new full-length release, One Love. The good news: There’s more than just that one collabo with Kelly Rowland! The better news: Guetta’s also got Estelle, Akon, Will.i.am and others lending their vocals!
INSTINCT: “When Love Takes Over” just skyrocketed and became both a gay and straight club staple. How did you and Kelly hook up in the first place?
DAVID GUETTA: It’s so exciting. With Kelly, she loved “Love Is Gone,” and she came to listen to me when I was deejaying in Caan. And she told me she fell in love with a track that I played, and it was the instrumental for “When Love Takes Over.” She had tears in her eyes and said that the music was so emotional and moving. I was very flattered, so I gave her the track, and she came back with that beautiful song. And we just haven’t stopped working together. So there’s more with her you haven’t heard yet. We just connected. It was magic. Article continues below... 
How does it feel when these artists come to you and say they want to make music for you?
It’s crazy! I’m very flattered. I admire these people so much. Kelly is such an amazing singer and just the easiest girl to work with.
Are you surprised by how big that song has become?
I tell you, we felt from the day we made it that it was huge. I felt that the song was bigger than myself. But what has happened in America with it—for me, that is really surprising. It’s growing and growing, and after so many years of people telling me that a dance track won’t be played on the radio in America, to see it growing on both a dance level and a pop level, I’m like, “Wow!”
