When this collaboration was announced last week, I was a bit skeptical. David Guetta and Black Coffee operate on two different ends of the electronic music spectrum. While David is best known for his pop crossover and big room productions, South Africa's Black Coffee made his name over the past two decades through beyond impressive mixing and production of house records. Would these unlikely collaborators come out with an inspired single, or an awkward and forced tune?
David Guetta and Black Coffee – ‘Drive'
The new track is ‘Drive' and upon listening I was more than pleasantly surprised. The song is incredibly chilled out. Featuring both deep and tropical house elements, ‘Drive' serves as the perfect late summer anthem. Airy vocals by Delilah Montagu which are laid on top of the driving constant beat, give this tune a wonderful depth.
‘Drive' is the lead off single from David's upcoming album, 7. It seems that Guetta has taken the opportunity of a new album release to produce with some of the most popular names in the entire music industry. Check out the new single below, and stay tuned for updates.
