DJ and producer David Guetta is interviewed by RollingStone.com and is asked about his collaboration with ItsNotYouItsMe favorite Sia and why he needs to thank her for not retiring from the singing biz.
RS: Does it bug you when other DJs try to replicate your success with a similar sound?
People tell me, "What do you think about people doing the same thing you're doing?" I'm like, "That's amazing!" I'm flattered and happy. I'm proud. And in the same way, on a production level and on a DJ level, I need to be able to reinvent myself. When urban dance music became so big, I came with a new sound, a new single – "Titanium" with Sia – that is totally different from what everybody else is doing and goes against the current.
RS: Sia has been a pop singer and songwriter for years, but now she's breaking through with dance music.
It's funny. When we recorded "Titanium" she was like, "Well David, I don't want to be an artist anymore. I'm done with this life. I just want to be a songwriter. I don't want to tour. I don't want to do anything like this anymore." When I heard her voice [on the track], I was like, "That is insane. No one is going to be able to do better than this." And she was like, "OK. Last one!"
RS: Has she thanked you?
[Laughs] Not really. I am the one that is thanking her. She brought something really special. And we've kept working together on [Flo Rida's] "Wild Ones" and other records that are coming up. She's really amazing, and I'm glad she didn't totally stop.
