Max Martin - search/destroy

"in the years 1999 and 2000 Martin’s songs were performed and broadcast more than those of any other writers"

A very not versatile producer, one should note.

I didn't realise Max Martin was involved with the Army of Lovers? The Army of Lovers RoXoR. Well, they did for at least one song.

Millenium is a Backstreet album. The Call is a song off their next album. The others are Britney songs. N'Sync's s/t is a Martin joing largely, but the tracks are not quite as good (more straightforward production). AMG just lists him on vocals for Army of Lovers.

Destroy: Robyn, 5ive

And I've always loved the way the key change in "I Want It That Way" mimics Def Lepard's "Photograph" almost in full.

max martin search: 'tell me, tell me ... baby' by 'nsync, from 'celebrity.' justin liked it so much, he ripped it off for the song credited to him on 'britney.'

She should do a covers album, a la Duran Duran. She could do covers of Burning Up and As Heaven is Wide. AND PLANET EARTH.

I just noticed that the songs Britney co-wrote on the new one (Lonely, Anticipating, Cinderella, Let Me Be, That's Where You Take Me) are the best on the album by far. Coincidence, surely.

Tom - the parts of the Kylie album I've heard are very Modjo-like filtered house, with a dash of R&B and UK Garage. Kylie pulls off filtered house better than most pop artists, and it's much better than her last album, but I can't imagine any of what I've heard equalling the desolate "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" in my affections. To get an idea of what to expect, search "More More More" and "Love At First Sight". The 2-step track ("Give It To Me") is quite good, actually.

Otis, you need to just sit down. Anyone that calls Justin their main man needs some serious help, he's the most offensive person in pop music besides that big fat old fuck in NSync, who is even worse. But regardless, I think Britney should write more songs.

The cover is terrible, you know. You even admitted it when me and Ramon dogged on it. Did you put the poster on your wall yet?

Anyhow, my mom worried a bit about your madonna poster, she said it looked like you were making out with it in one of our pictures. I didn't know what that meant.

Here's some insight into Max's mind.

My favorite song of his is "Blow Your Mind," one of two really strong Max Martin songs on the Nick Carter solo record.

Today, Martin is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Swedish producers. The likes of Klas Åhlund (Kylie Minogue, Robyn, Madonna), Shellback (Usher, One Direction, Taylor Swift, Icona Pop) and Martin Terefe (Westlife, James Blunt, KT Tunstall) have regularly produced international chart-topping hits in the last few years. Swedes have also recently conquered the world of J-pop and K-pop.

According to Seabrook, Swedish producers still largely follow the collaborative formula used by Cheiron. “If you look at American producers, there’s often a lot of ego,” says Seabrook. “You’ll get one guy wanting to do the whole song, and to say, ‘That’s mine’. The Swedish way, which PoP and Martin mastered, is a lot more group-oriented. You might have different guys doing various beats and melodies – it’s often a collaboration, and there’s an ability to let people stick to their areas of expertise. It helps, too, that Swedish producers tend to be very professional –
