According to Guetta, ''Listen'' is his most personal album yet, reflecting his divorce from his wife of 22 years, Cathy Guetta: "Until today I was doing lots of songs about happiness and love and sexiness and just having a party – it was basically my life, you know? And lately, my personal life has been a little more difficult, so it reflects also on the album, on the things that we're talking about, on the type of chords. I've never done this, because even for me it was all about making the people dance."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Page 2 of The Reinvention of David Guetta: EDM Giant on His Surprising New Sound - Rolling Stone )〕 Guetta also said he wanted to reinvent himself with the album, steering away from the urban and dance sound he became famous for with ''One Love'' (2009):
During an interview with ''Billboard'', Guetta said he has moved away from the current EDM and house sound on his previous two internationally released albums ''One Love'' and ''Nothing but the Beat'' with ''Listen'', by adding elements of other music such as classical music, acoustic music, and piano ballads: "I miss soul and emotion. A lot of EDM lately is based on production tricks that make it sound huge. I think it's not enough. These songs can be played by a classical orchestra, a rock band, or a funk band, and they would be great. It's not like, 'Oh wow, if you don't have this huge distorted kick, there's nothing else.'"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=David Guetta Talks Love, Loss & New Album 'Listen' - Billboard )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Listen (David Guetta album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
