Song of the Day: David Guetta featuring Estelle - "One Love"

The third single and title track from David Guetta's massive One Love cd is quite incredible in its own right. Reminiscent of tracks from fellow Frenchman Bob Sinclar ("World Hold On" and "Love Generation"), it features Estelle singing about unifying people through love to overcome universal struggles. That's a lot to bite off in a pop song but it communicates the message over house groove with subtle electro/progressive flourishes. Its interesting to note that in each video for this album, David has had a major role sharing the spotlight with the featured vocalist. Even doing something that could be perceived as cheesy (shaping his hands into a heart symbol to send waves of dancing energy to depressed people), David maintains his coolness while obviously having fun and embracing the message. To point out the presence of a superstar dj in Madonna's "Celebration" video would just be an obvious example of the opposite.
