by Leave a Comment

Kaiser Chiefs singer Ricky Wilson has broken a rib whilst performing in the US in support of Green Day at New York’s Madison Square Garden. Wilson fell whilst jumping from the barrier to the stage, breaking his rib in the process.

Ricky Wilson has now received treatment for the break, and Kaiser Chiefs will still be battling on, not cancelling any of the arranged tour dates. Kaiser Chiefs will finish in America with a show at Lollapalooza on August 9th, and then head back to Europe to perform at a number of European festivals throughout the summer (including the Reading and Leeds Festival at the end of August).

The following is a list of the tour dates that the band still has left to play:

31 Jul 2009 – Sommet Center, Nashville, Tennessee

David Guetta ft. Kelly Rowland – When Love Takes Over

by 1 Comment

David Guetta ft. Kelly Rowland - When Love Takes OverThe first single from David Guetta’s ‘One Love’ album, ‘When Loves Takes Over’ features the beautiful vocals of Kelly Rowland, and samples the phenomenal piano hook from Coldplay’s ‘Clocks’. It’s an incredibly catchy piece of music, and the sample has most definitely been utilised to absolute perfection here. ‘Clocks’ has been one of my favourite Coldplay songs for some time now, the piano hook taken out of its original context just seems to sound even better however, and provides the perfect sound for Kelly Rowland’s vocals to rest atop of.

Kelly Rowland’s vocals really are excellent here, and everything about the track has just been put together brilliantly. David Guetta has definitely done a very good job with ‘When Love Takes Over’, and it’s no surprise really that this track has hit the number one spot in multiple different countries throughout Europe. ‘When Love Takes Over’ even went to number one in the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart, so it really is a top dance track that has taken the world by storm.

‘When Love Takes Over’ is a simple track in terms of its composition, despite its simple nature it works incredibly well though, and is a definite dance track to be listening to this summer. This track has already gone down incredibly well with the masses, and will no doubt be filling dancefloors for many months to come.
