Daft Punk’s ‘One More Time’ marks 26 years since the track introduced a new era for the duo ahead of the release of their ‘Discovery’ album
Daft Punk released One More Time on November 13, 2000, several months before Discovery introduced one of the most important periods of the duo’s career. Featuring vocals from Romanthony, the single paired French house production with disco influences as Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo prepared to take their music in a different direction. Twenty-six years later, One More Time remains closely tied to both the album that followed and the wider rise of French touch around the world.
One More Time Opened a New Chapter for Daft Punk
By the time One More Time was released, Daft Punk were already internationally known through their 1997 debut album Homework and tracks including Around the World and Da Funk. Discovery introduced more melody, disco, pop and processed vocals while keeping the house foundations that had already established the duo.
As the album’s first single, One More Time gave listeners an early look at that change before Discovery followed in March 2001.
