Data Insight
7 is a double album split between a mainstream pop disc and an underground Jack Back disc, and David Guetta co-writes and produces across both. As Guetta framed it, the first album is completely pop and the second album is completely underground, with the second disc released under his Jack Back alias as a return to his house roots. The pop disc leans on guest topliners including Sia on 'Flames,' Justin Bieber on '2U,' and the Martin Garrix collaboration 'Like I Do,' with co-producers such as Giorgio Tuinfort, Stargate, Cirkut, and Carl Falk. Across the record Guetta operates as producer and architect, mixing star vocal features on disc one against stripped-back instrumental house cuts on disc two.
