• Preview David Guetta, Afrojack and Nicki Minaj's Upcoming Single 'Hey Mama' from 'Listen' [LISTEN]

    With just eight days until the release of his sixth artist album "Listen," David Guetta has unveiled one of the most high-profile collaborations on the album with Afrojack and Nicki Minaj. The 1 minute 30 second preview for "Hey Mama" gives us a taste of what we should expect from the three frequent collaborators, via "Capital FM." David Guetta and Nicki Minaj have had success on previous Guetta albums with tracks like "Turn Me On" and "Where Them Girls At" alongside Flo Rida.Though Afrojack was not listed in the initial batch of collaborators on the album tracklist, it is not surprising to see his name on this album with how strong a relationship he has with David Guetta. "Hey Mama" has the pitched up dutch electro sound you expect from Afrojack, but catered to a pop audience that allows Nicki Minaj's vocals to flow over it and should make this one another big hit for Guetta.He recently spoke to "Rolling Stone" about the making of the album and the process of writing the songs.
