GOOD READ
The Atlantic introduces the bald Norwegians and other unknowns who actually create the songs that top the charts.
"They are listening, reportedly, to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ “Maps”—an infectious love song, at least by indie-rock standards. Martin is being driven crazy by the song’s chorus, however, which drops in intensity from the verse. Dr. Luke says, “Why don’t we do that, but put a big chorus on it?” He reworks a guitar riff from the song and creates Kelly Clarkson’s breakout hit, “Since U Been Gone.”"
Thanks for listening!
- Dave, Dev & Team Hype Machine
