  5. 6.0 |   Daily Telegraph

    As packed and punchy as Black Eyed Peas on steroids, this is the sound of the overground

    It's undeniably infectious, maddeningly so at times. Print edition only

  7. 6.0 |   Rolling Stone

  14. 4.0 |   The Guardian

    Guetta's songwriting team is great at luring you in with intros that promise something a little different ... but the lure of the steamroller beat is too strong every time
    Read Review

    Guetta might be one of the only people given partial credit for creating a sea change in pop music who's also unquestionably the least compelling example of that style

Olly Alexander  Polari

There’s a sense that he still has much more to give as a solo artist, but ‘Polari’ is an assured and ambitious start from one of our brightest pop personalities Dork
