David Guetta has released the music video for the lead single "Dangerous" featuring Sam Martin to his upcoming artist album Listen. More like a short film, the video takes us to Formula One racetrack as we see David Guetta duel with another rider, JP, in their quest for league dominance.
The single itself was a slight change of pace for the world renowned French DJ, as he chose to move his pop sensibilities in a bit of a different direction, focusing on a more easygoing vibe with Sam Martin's catchy vocals, guitar licks and steady percussion. To augment that however, he added a "Banging" remix from himself, so it could be played out in his sets, while Steve Aoki, Robin Schulz, Kevin Sanderson and Higher Self all added their own efforts.
The 7-minute music video tells the saga of a bitter rivalry between two F1 racers, David Guetta and JP who are neck and neck in the race for first place. After a hard fought race with plenty of quick cuts to attractive women in heels waving flags and working in the pits (why are they wearing heels in there?!), David Guetta comes out victorious. In the end they all party to the tune of copious amounts of champagne, which includes a fountain of bubbly.
Listen will arrive in stores on November 24 and has features from stars and frequent collaborators like Skylar Grey, Nicki Minaj, Ryan Tedder, Showtek, John Legend and Sia, among others. His 6th artist album, his first in three years, he spoke to Billboard about the process of making it stating, "The way that I'm making my album is ultra-traditional. I'm composing with piano, guitar, acoustic instruments, and then completely at the end when I had 100 songs, only then did I pick the best 15 or 18 and turn them into dance tracks. That's a completely opposite process of what I used to do. It was a big challenge, but it was the right challenge."
Mark your calendars for November 24, because will be a huge day for Atlantic / Big Beat with Listen and Knife Party's Abandon Ship hitting stores the same day. Get your dancing shoes ready because you will need them.
