Song Of The Day (Brand New): David Guetta feat. Jennifer Hudson- "Night Of Your Life"
This song was released TODAY. Rarely do I turn around give you a song released that recently, but this time I decided to for two reasons. First, I had to give Guetta some props for releasing basically one new track a week all summer. Although it's relatively easy to fiddle with a computer program and come up with some new beats every couple days, his ability to make most of these songs listenable deserves some recognition.
Secondly, and more importantly, this new track sounds eerily similar to my favorite song of 2010, Rihanna's "Only Girl (In The World)." Many people would consider such a blatant ripoff to be a bad thing. But I fail to see how ripping off something awesome and making your own version that's 80% as good is a bad thing. It just means more jams. If every song ripped off "Only Girl," there'd be a ton of great music out there! Seriously, this is a fantastic song- Jennifer Hudson's soaring vocals are perfect with the beat, and it repeatedly crescendos into a melodic and hard-hitting chorus. This is probably the best of all the singles Guetta has released this summer, and I see it being a big-time dance jam in the coming weeks and months.
