David Guetta ft. Kelly Rowland: 'When Love Takes Over'
Released on Monday, Jun 15 2009
Published Thursday, Jun 11 2009, 14:33 BST | By David Balls | 41 comments

A collaboration with French DJ David Guetta, 'When Love Takes Over' is further evidence that Rowland may no longer be resigned to living in Beyoncé's shadow. Fusing classic dance beats with a heady, emotionally-charged vocal, it's a world away from the midtempto R&B numbers with which she started her solo career. In fact, this packs a punch from the very first listen, meaning it could well become one of the summer anthems of 2009.

Kelly's soaring vocals are just perfect. Bring on the summer, love! Also, I think Kelly's so far the only one who can do dance records out of all the RnB divas...imagine Beyonce doing this! She is so versatile than most. I think this may be her new direction in music, at least I hope!

If this reaches #1, we will probably be the first country in Europe to have a David Guetta single reach the summit. Please buy and download a.s.a.p.!

So this is what Kelly Rowland hads been reduced to since she was dropped by her label? Disappointing

I like the song and the lyrics are nice and I can her Kelly's voice more mature on this track. Keep it up Kelly. I wish it was longer. I give it a 5/5

Such an amazing and feel good song. I'm loving the energy and vocals brought by Ms. Kelly. David Guetta is magically genius as always. Let's take it to the top, cheers!

OMG! This has to be my favourite song of the year. The song is so inspiring and uplifting. This is what you call a song. In my opinion, best dance track of 2009. :)

Finally, Kelly has found her genre. This song showcases her fantastic vocals are just sad when she was in Destiny's child her powerful voice wasn't used much and all we could hear was Beyonce screaming her head off to all of their songs. But anyway, forget about the past. And let's look in the future that is a must be number 1.
