This album is hottttt!!
I especially love the songs with Barbara Tucker, such as "It's Alright" and "Give me Something." Hello, it's the story of my life. Give me something... or nothing at all.
Preach it!

I first heard of Parisian DJ David Guetta (a fixture in Ibiza and Paris) on the "Pioneer: The Album Vol. 3" while living in Spain (Ibiza CDs are EVERYWHERE) with his fabulous single "Love Don't Let Me Go." After a long wait, "Just A Little More Love" is being released in North America---it's ABOUT TIME!!!. His album is a pleasing blend of styles and moods, all of it intensely danceable.

The main highlight for me was not only Guetta's fantastic mixing, but the soulful, searing vocals by gospel phenom Chris Willis (backing vocalist for Amy Grant ,CeCe Winans, Twilla Paris, Garth Brooks, and Dolly Parton among others) that made the album come alive. "Just A Little More Love" sounds like a throwback to the heyday of the `80s, with elements of funk and disco scattered throughout the driving beats. The album spawned a number of singles, including Ibiza megahit "Love Don't Let Me Go."

This North American release features an altered tracklist from the European debut, adding the Just For One Day (Heroes) remix from Guetta's new album F*** Me I'm Famous (named after an Ibiza tradition), cuts several others (Chris Willis' You, Atomic Food), and substitutes edits for several (Just a Little More Love Elektro edit, Distortion vocal edit, Just a Little More Love Wally Lopez remix edit). The majority of the thirteen songs are vocal-driven, with the exception of 133 and Lately, both instrumentals. Themes range from the noble: social reform (Can't U Feel The Change), self-empowerment (It's Alright), love and desire (the campy Sexy 17, People Come, People Go, Give Me Something, the riveting Love Don't Let Me Go, You Are The Music) and just plain fun (Distortion).

This North American release is much more geared for club play with the addition of Just For One Day and the edits/remixes. A danceable feast for the ears and refreshingly original. Remember to check out Guetta's new album F*** Me I'm Famous as well.

If you enjoy this album, check out Guetta's new album F**k Me I'm Famous (named after an Ibiza tradition) featuring David Bowie remixes and more.

my sis went to france got me this cd, but hearing it now i woulda paid the import price for it anyhow. its a great dance cd, with original beats and a great voice. buy this cd or you will never experience true dance music

Sometimes, you don't want to think -- you just want some good dance music. And David Guetta delivers just that on JUST A LITTLE MORE LOVE. From the club-favorite title track onwards, there's no stopping the groove. A bit of 80s nostalgia infects these tracks, but not in a way that overwhelms or feels too retro. Barbara Tucker lends her powerhouse lungs to "Give Me Something (Deep in My Heart)," a solid house effort. The tracks here are short and easily digestible, made more for home listening than for club play, but a few gems still stand out: the aggressive chant of "It's Allright (Preaching Paris)"; the nouveau disco of "People Come People Go"; the filtering of David Bowie on "Just For One Day (Heroes)"; or the mellow tones and sax of "You Are the Music." My personal favorite, however, is "Distortion," with its dark rhythms, acid line and the brooding recording-booth voice. Go ahead and dance. You know you wanna.

David Guetta is a French Dj and Remixer that's been around for quite awhile now, but this was actually his first album, released in 2004 despite countless of singles and remixes already. The music here is more commercial then actual house music though, we got soul singers Chris Willis and Barbara Tucker and the music is a mix between diffrenet genre's like House, Soul, Electro and Pop that isn't afraid of sampling old stuff, Not surprising that Mr. Guetta scored several club hits from this album. "Just A Little More Love" was a hit in 2001 and a highlight here. "Love, Don't Let Me Go" another hit single in a simular mood 'that blends soul and dance, the exellent "Give Me Something (Deep In My Heart)" that blends 70's disco with modern house. "Just For One Day (Heroes)" a ripp-off from David Bowie's classic. "Sexy 17" that infact sound like 80's Prince singing. Towards the end of the set there are several less commercial songs, house and electro instrumentals that would have suited well on a Daft Punk or Cassius album. On this american release there are several remixes, + there are 2 versions of "Just a Little More Love" instead of the song "You" that is part of the original Euro release and "Just For One Day" instead of "Atomic Food". For all dance fans, I think this is a must have. Considering that there a few really good dance albums out there and Guetta is a very talented and original dj, you must check this one out, if you liked Modjo, Cassius or even early Roger Sanchez, you'll like David Guetta too. 4/5 stars

Although this CD is over 2 years old I recently bought it and I am totally loving it as it is an awesome CD. Every track one after the other is beautifully produced and laid out. There's something about French house music and electronica that I can't get enough of. From Dimitry From Paris, Daft Punk, Cassius, Bob Sinclair and a slew of others that keep producing wonderful dance music that have retro feels to them. I especially love Give Me Something (Deep In My Heart) with the great vocals of Barbara Tucker on this album as well as the title song and Just For One Day (Heroes). Anyway check out the album and go buy it.

This is a brilliant compilation cd, whether its meant to be heard as part of a DJ club set, or just something you pop into the player when you want to hear happy, well-done, varied, and party atmosphere House. Every song is good, and some are incredible. All I had heard before getting this disc was "Just A Little More Love" via Ministry of Sound Hot 100, and I have been really impressed with it. The beat is all cub, but the lyrics are all intelligence with heart (not about drugs or sex, the two club lyric standbys that get old *quick*).

If you have doubts, chuck them and buy it!!
