I think youtube should give Rick a honorary doctorate for being so diverse and contemporary on teaching. Love you Rick!!
nuf respect to Rick..he's the man
I agree
Is there a way I could get these tracks Rick, to play with it... It's awesome. Eye-opening....
Right Said
I love Rick, but he has done next to nothing on funk/r&b/soul.
To all the people who don't like pop music complaining about this video. No matter what genre of music you like these techniques can be used across the board.
Jason Braun Exactly! 👏👏
Good point. I think orchestration is usually overlooked in music analysis - most of it is focused on harmony, melody and form (which is understandable, because music analysis has classical roots). But as we can hear, the whole song is basically the same chord progression (with the exception of the bridge), so paying attention to the chord progression isn't really interesting - it's just 6 chords with three of them being what I would call passing chords). And the structure is very typical pop song structure, so it's really not interesting in that regard either. Instead, the contrasts are made using different orchestration and dynamics. Without all of these details, the song would sound very repetitive.
Actually, the way this song works is not that different from "Smells Like Teen Spirit". You have one chord progression throughout the song, and the contrasts are created by using dynamics, and changes in instrumentation and singing register.
I think especially in pop music harmony and form aren't that important. Or that's stuff that can be learned really fast - most pop songs use a couple of different kinds of forms and most of the harmonies are usually pretty basic stuff (mostly based on two, four or eight bar loops). The analysis of those parts isn't really that interesting and kind of misses the point. A lot more interesting question in pop song writing is how the contrasts between the different parts are created. This of course includes harmonic and structural analysis, but it also includes so much more.
Pop producers have always been on the absolute forefront of production technique.
Anton Björklund exactly, just look at songs like Friday by Rebecca Black. Top notch
@@deanveni638 Actually a lot of people don't know that she was not even signed to a label when that song came out. She actually just used a studio that was offering recording & music video packages. Where they write and record a song for you to perform. Many studios offer this to aspiring singers. However, these recording packages can range anywhere from $5k to over $10k for just one song lol. So she only went viral because people actually thought she was a "major label" signed artist who just sounded awful. The only part that was true though was her sounding awful lol.
Love hearing the breakdown of this mix. Total masterclass in pop production.
This a great vid from Rick!
I honestly wouldn't have been able to distinguish all the various parts, especially those rather hidden ones that make a great producer an amazing producer.
Jesus, that crunchy synthbass sound is bananas.
r/AccidentalFabDuPont
that reminds me of the song for new DBZ movie
I need to say that it's jumping at my face all the time in an annoying manner
@@pascaldeshayes5459 That's part of why it's so cool, because it's really just tickling your face. You don't realise how easy it is for a synth to sound _really_ bad when you distort it, this one sounds great!
agreed! it's pure Max Martin and what attracted me to his productions in the first place. and that deep "lazy" kick! :)
I think lot of people is missing the point here. is not about if you like Ariana Grande, is about how the producer job can be creative and a key ellement to achive sucsess in music (if you think pop is easy then you need a lot to learn). Sure i prefer rock or jazz but a musician must be able to appreciate all kind of music.
This. Pop is crazy competitive, and the rules are very tight. If you don’t get every element exactly right and then some, you have to try again. Indie pop is a thing and in order to break into the mainstream from it you need to launch a song into the charts stratosphere, or record labels will not give a single solitary fuck about you.
The glass percussion really shows how much fun they had in the studio and what a creative atmosphere it must have been.
Damn...if I put that many elements in my songs, it will be just a indistinguishable wall of sound. What a terrific mixing skills.
It IS a little like a wall of sound. A good wall of sound, but still...
that's what I thought! it's so much stuff and so much reverb on everything, that thing would just blow up in my face
Have heard this song hundreds of times but never realised that it is a beautiful masterpiece of audio engineering and design. You could mute out tracks to create numerous insanely good versions of this song. There are so many great layers going unnoticed. Incredible, thank you for this breakdown!
Yes it truly is!
yes its so interesting i am learning so much
Is so rare to find people that appreciate all music, I dont like this style or any genre relate to this one, but theres always something you can analyze in this songs and at the end you find that this types of song are very complex in his simplicity. Thanks Rick!
Yeah, I hate the song, but this might be Ricks most informative WMTSG video yet. Absolutely enjoyed it.
Max Martin was ridiculously talented though. U don't really realise it though until u hear covers of the often very commercial songs.
@@urbo92 Well yeah Max Martin is incredible.
When I heard this, the first thought that came to mind was that this is what modern pop is suppose to sound like. Such a good song. I thought the same about Style by Taylor Swift, no coincidence both were produced by Max Martin
Max Martin is truly one of the greatest songwriters and producers in popular music. As I've become more of a music nerd over the years I learned to appreciate artists like Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys more and to be honest, his work with those artists is just absolutely next level song crafting that very few other songwriters have ever come close to. He's truly in a league only occupied by the other GOATs.. He is amazing and deserves utmost respect from anyone who truly loves music and production!
True...and Rick just met him in Switzerland apparently. I really hope he's about to post an interview!
@@teaching_and_learning 😮 that'd be crazy
@@truejohnsolo Agreed! Clearly Max Martin doesn't care for the spotlight..but an interview with Rick would be such a perfect fit for him and really the perfect target audience. I hope it happens!
"greatest songwriters" alright let's chill now hahah this is much more about mixing than composing
wdym other GOATs?? There is only one GOAT. It's in the name.
Anyone who hates on Max Martin isn't listening. The complexity of his songwriting and production is straight up symphonic.
He is an absolute genius.
I don't 'hate on him' he cracked the code and cashed in, big style. But if you hear one of two of his songs you heard them all. Max Martin makes music by joining dots there seems to be no natural fun or fun in it. But the sound has become so dominant along with autotune etc,it has become what a lot of people are used to, and now they know no different.
@@nigefal He was also worked on many other artists like Adele and her genre doesn't need auto tune so its not there intentionally and some genres adds auto turne on purpose for a effect like how Guitarists use Fuzz to achieve certain characteristic not achievable otherwise for some songs and genres while they execute the recordings and song. Dont be a ignorant snob.
@@nigefal "autotune" is not a valid complaint. Every artist you know uses autotune whether you realize it or not
The only thing you know about "symphonic" is how to spell it. It's sad if you still believe it.
The number of layers in modern pop is amazing. I'm used to the typical 5-6 piece band sound. It takes a lotta talent to build a sound like this song has from so many small elements. Like that guitar part.. hardly heard in the mix but it adds a little something.
Lindsey Buckingham could do things like that back in the day. If you check out the breakdown he did of "Gold Dust Woman" on Classic Albums for Rumours, it was intense. But you're right, this many layers is really tricky.
But the layering is still relatively simple compared to most Edm...
This song feels like the mcdonalds version of that
I hate how a lot of pop ends up sounding so bland when there's so much effort put into making it. It's one thing when "Mumble Trap Single #2050" is boring, but with amazing studios, tons of funds from labels, and producers like Max Martin who use all kinds of diverse sounds, many songs suffer from annoying choruses, unoriginal lyrics, and overly processed vocals.
Making Bud Light takes incredible dedication and care. The product itself is bland and boring, but it's replicably bland and boring and it sells very, very well. IMO a lot of pop music is like Bud Light.
crimfan apples and oranges 😂
I don't think I've ever gotten this much chills from a song breakdown.. I literally cried from how incredible this is
A truly fantastic breakdown, I'm a big fan of Max Martin's work and unashamed to say I love pop music. Even if some consider "pop" a dirty word, I still think it's a fantastic piece of writing, and I think your dissection truly shows how much of an intelligent writer Martin really is.
Nothing to be ashamed of. John Mayer had put it this way (not exact quote, just from memory): "It is nothing dirty about being a pop star. Pop means "popular". Jimmi Hendrix was a pop star, Elvis was a pop star and so were the Beatles."
Additionally modern (Swedish) pop music since ABBA is extremely complex, with all the layers, harmonics and subtile little things going on. The former Max Martin protege Dr. Luke said his quite simple song "Teenage Dream" for Katy Perry has 128 different layers.
@@ironheadfm Jimi hendrix and Katy.perry.are.very different
@@sheep5514 Nonetheless was Jimi popular = Pop
The Beatles were pop music, so was Michael Jackson, Prince, David Bowie had pop hits, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, the list of people who make "pop" music is occupied by the greatest artists who've ever lived.
@@sheep5514 No. As in no. They are exactly the same apart from their gender. They both want to entertain people and say something with their music. The means to do so are different - but the motivation - thats exactly the same.
This is so insanely good in terms of a DEEP dive into the production that makes great pop music. And let's face it, while Ariana is singing the song and has an amazing voice, this is ALL Max Martin to make this the hit is was. Clever to title this as a Max Martin WMtSG.
The layers upon layers that make this song, are just so well put together.
I really don't like pop music, but I can't stop watching this breakdown. The skill in the production and sound layering is undeniable genius.
A lot of max Martin is super fascinating, so easy to get lost in
This sound was methodically produced its sounds light from listening to it but when you actually open it up its brilliant.
Trademark of great songs I guess.
There's a MJ's "Human Nature" breakdown article on Puremix that is quite amazing too.
@@Charlyfromthenuclearcity Human Nature is produced and written so well!
This is one of my favorite songs of recent years. I am surprised about the criticism to this song. I am sure that everyone who has ever done a serious effort to write a song him or herself can appreciate this one. This song and production seem so easy, but there is so much to it. It's great you are showing that in this video, Rick!
It’s her best!!
She is a tremendous artist. Not my cup of tea but huge respect to Max Martin. The people of the UK love how she responded to the Manchester Arena attack.
Yeah that was such a big gesture, not only to her own fans but the city and all the rest of us. Amazing singer as well.
You could do a whole series on Max Martin.
I would tune in.
Please make this happen Rick
Bernhard Jordan Dr Luke :)
for real, please
PLEASE don't
The key to modern pop music is definitely in the production. Musically, a lot of songs are incredibly simple while the production is extremely complex and rhythmic. It might take 10 mintes to write a song and ten weeks to produce it. Regardless of what you like to listen to personally, you have to admit that all forms of good music require serious talent. I'm always in awe of tracks like this when I hear them broken down and explained. There is so much more involved than many of us realize.
It would be impossible to have all the hits songs in the pop world we have rn without Max Martin
Huge respect ❤

Thus Spake Beato haaaaaahahaha
Max Martin is rlly one of the most impressive producers I know. I didn't even notice the vocal in the chorus part of the instrumental. he fills out every little gap with perfectly sounding elements. not a single sound in this piece that I don't like. Brilliant producer with tons of experience and creativity. Not surprised that Ariana chose him for many of her songs. Super talented singer combined with a super talented producer.
My FAVORITE Martin production and Grande song. Thank you so much for this. For me Into You is a perfect pop record and will go down as a classic.
Max Martin is one of If not the greatest modern pop producer of all time. He’s responsible for *NSYNC, BSB, Britney.... he only writes hits, it’s insane actually.
One of the?
He literally made Taylor , Katy, ariana , Kesha , Backstreet boys , Nsync , Britney
All these artists career was made because of him
@@amartyaprakash897 agree with you, except for Taylor she already had hits before working with him unlike the others.
@@amartyaprakash897 and Ace of Base. They were one of the first groups Max Martin and Dennis Pop (Martin's mentor - rest his soul) produced.
He also took The Weeknd to the next level. I mean Blinding lights, cant feel my face, save your tears etc. He is a mad man
Ok Taylor was famous before working with GOAT Max,but only in country music that is unknown outside US.Blinding lights is most successfull single in US in the period 1958-2020 according to Mediatraffic web page.Max is out of this world.
I remember the day I found "(You Drive Me) Crazy" by Britney Spears again... and I was amazed again by that song. And "Show Me Love" by Robyn... I just realized Max Martin tapped into my childhood. He is a beast and now I know why. Thanks for making this video!
Yummie feel like a lot of the people in the comments have no idea how much of the pop sound HE INTRODUCED and pioneered.
@@Skkyyyyyyyyyyy Max is my idol,a genius,the greatest songwriter and producer in history of pop music.
Max Martin is a perfectionist as this breakdown neatly demonstrates. Good job Rick!
I'm a techno producer, and I definitely learned from this even though it's obviously a vastly a different style from what I make. Tremendous work!
Edit:
21:35 damn those glass percussion parts are nice. I'm literally going to incorporate something like that into the song I'm working on this weekend!
Max Martin is a production genius, it's all the subtle sounds he uses to fill the space, sometimes the sound is only in for a few bars, but it keeps your ears 'active' and drawn into his tracks, and the most magical part is you don;t even hear the subtle sounds until you really listen and pick the track apart, that is the real magic of his production work.
His work with Denniz Pop at Cheiron studios is stuff of legend. Seeing and reading interviews with Max, which are few and far between, he refers to how he loved Abba's music and other Swedish artists, and how over the time of a track 3-4mins, there were 3 or 4 little different 'records' in that time.
He loved how the verse/bridge/chorus were each individual songs, and how they changed structure as each one came in, again keeping the listener hooked from the first beat to the last beat.
Yes, he is a real genius at producing music. I agree with everything you say. 😊
@@Andersabjorn1 👍
Damnit Rick - your channel is just the most perfect balance of education and inspiration. Thank you for this stuff man.
Ive been an Ariana fan ever since this album came out. I ignored it for a while but then little things would catch my ear and i began to realize what was going on. Also her vocals are just crazy good.
@Bernhard Jordan I wonder how to interpret this comment...
Was pretty blown away when I first heard this track, great song and epic production. To me this stands out from a lot of the pop stuff.
Ll
how? a shitton of the other big pop hits are also from him. and every b tier ghostwriter mimiks him anyways.
This is the greatest track overview I've ever seen. The next time someone talks down on pop I'm going to show them this video. Thanks!!
No one says there´s no work or production value in pop. It´s really hard to write and produce such a catchy song, yet one could easily point out the lack of nutrition in this kind of art. And because of this, of course, no one will remember this music in 10 or twenty years.
@@krokovay.marcell Baby one more time (Britney Spears) is approx 23 years, I want it that way (Backstreet boys) is 22 years, It's my life (Bon Jovi) is 20 years, Since you've been gone (Kelly Clarkson) is going on 17 years and i could go on forever with more examples by Max Martin. I think to say that this kind of music will not be remembered in 10 years is really an underestimation of this kind of music. If somebody will remember exactly this tune in another 10 years I don't know, but the genre has obviously made an big impact into peoples minds whether we want it or not.
@@AnderssonHenning Yeah the man has like 2 dozen number 1s and at any time in the past 20 years there's been at least one of his productions in the top 40, usually 2 to 5 bouncing around at the same time, nobody has to remember the majority because the occasional "timeless hit" cements his career and he still makes millions off each of the throwaways.
I can unequivocally say I hate most of his output, so the fact that I can also say he has double-digits of songs that I think are just musically brilliant is just a testament to his skill and work ethic.
@@krokovay.marcell totally wrong IMO. All those great popsongs will be played for many many years even from now on. Why cos the are so well writen and produced and so many people remember how the smached the dancefloor for years and also the more quiet songs going stadigt in people heart. Great respekt to Max Martin for all those wonderfull songs.
Btw. dont forget all the other songwriter who was Cherions studios. They all did what many worldwide wish they could. The drums alone was a masterpice.
crazy how simple or minimal the amount of elements are. but each element has so much frosting on it. when it all comes together its the mastermind of Max Martin and how he knows to reel you in subliminally time and again
It's ear candy production. What a vocalist she is too...
David Marley - She's got amazing pitch...when they use Melodyne on her voice...
Fatty McFatterson I'm sure they use it. It's not just pitch though. The style is top notch. This is coming from a vocalist/instrumentalist who records his own work.
Fatty McFatterson Listen to some live videos of her. Check out the Tonight Show clip of her doing wheel of musical impressions with Jimmy. She's an amazing vocalist.
@@fattymcfatterson3651 You don't know how Melodyne works, do you ? Use it once and tell me how great it is at making someone who can't sing sound like Ariana in that song.
Ben West pitch correction is used live as well. If people on American idol and artists like Justin Bieber use it, then surely someone the likes of Ariana is gonna use it as well.
Hello! Could you also analyse "No tears left to cry" by Max Martin and Ariana Grande?
second this
Never realised how great this song is. I can't say I'm Ariana Grande's biggest fan, but man, this instrumental just makes you feel good.
The whole production and layers are incredible. A masterpiece.
Not my cup of tea, but the production on that track is insane. So much detail!
Agreed. I don't listen to pop - it's not my bag - but Max put a lot of thought and care into the production
I guess this is Swedish school of pop music. When you listen to old ABBA songs, you might notice how much of little things going are going on. And that was already in the 70ies, long before digital workstations.
Guys, everyone take a breath, it's not Rush. I think you'll find if you think back a bit that when you were young your mom and Dad may have said something like, "Music now-a-days all sounds the same, the lyrics mean nothing, none of it will last" etc.
She wasn't on my radar at all until the attack at her concert in England and her reaction to it impressed me, if you don't know she organized benefit concert in about two weeks for the victims. Anyway as Rick says her can definitely sing a personally I like her and to boot.she's selling millions so her music it's saying something to someone.
I really cant get over it, this is the kind of thing that makes me wanna listen to music. Not ashamed that this are on the top artist world wide!
Just saying... this song live is killer. I went to the Sweetener World Tour twice. She’s such an amazing artist. How the band plays and the track sounds. Literally insane.
Band? Its premixed
@@johnwebb6342 i’m talking ab when she performs the song live
MY GOD! Max Martin is a Beast!
Thank you so much for this Rick!
Please do more Max Martin!
The number of layers in this is absolutely insane.
The production on this is so dense - it really sounds great. Thanks for doing these analyses on such a wide variety of music. I find it very interesting, and the angry youtube comments are a funny bonus.
As someone who is really trying to level up pop production, this is SO helpful! I’d love more pop production breakdowns, it’s really a completely different skill apart from typical band and live instrument settings
I saw this video when Rick first released it. I come back now thinking how lucky we are to have this still. Up Max Martin produced many of the top hts of the 22st century and is notoriously elusive about his process. Watching this is like sitting in on a studio session with the man himself (or as close as most musicians will ever get). Not only that, the song is performed by the arguably the biggest pop star of that year and is still huge at the time I'm writing this. And Ariana is a phenomenal singer giving us a hell of a performance here.
I understand Rick and his main audience prefers talking about rock songs from late 80s and early 90s. I hope he branches out again in the future. Or at least find more modern gems from contemparary producers and songwriters.
At first, I thought the song was just OK.. what stuck with me was Ariana's shift to a more rauchy image. But after this video, I came to really appreciate the music and production. Makes me like the song. A good reminder to dig deeper to find the positive in music.
the production on this just blows my mind its faking unreal the level at the top of the music world
I do not care for Pop, but this track caught my attention when I first heard it a few years back. The bass line, vocals, and overall production are stellar. The track makes me want to make a groove and bust a move! Great epi Rick as there is so much more detail than what I thought. Thanks.
Same here
The comments dragging pop music down make me sad. It's really getting old
This work is as valid as any other piece of music : not tryna explain what pop music stands for or anything but it's always been about love seduction and such, in its main part. Why does it bother people so much ? Simple things are as valid as more complex ones. And dont tell me that this is generic, when you just stated that Max Martin did an incredible job here. Yes pop music has a format. So do other genres. The work on this song is transcendent, period.
I swear these people don't even know what they dislike about this music. It's just knee jerk.
Its bland and boring - all that work and it comes out uninspired and soulless
Kevin Richards RPM Vocal Studio we’re here to be objective about this music
My question is can these haters make a better song? I’ll wait... 🤣
This song is simply phenomenal. The deconstruction helps me appreciate it even more than before.
I don’t have anything against pop music. There is a lot of pop music of excellent level, with fantastic arrangements and complex ideas, as often illustrated by Rick’s videos. But this song sounds just like plastic to me.
The chord change at 7:02, and the production value of the synth and vocals that make it up. That's just pure pop brilliance.
This was amazing. It's like there are several songs worth of production in one song. When I think of detailed pop production, I think of Tears for Fears (that's a stealth hint for a future installment btw), but this is orders of magnitude beyond that. I'm a fan of synthwave and once you strip away the vocals, this is instrumental synthwave heaven.
Definetely! 21:21 - glass percussion is heavily inspired by "Shout".
T4F is amazing. And I’m so glad modern pop is tapping into New Wave.
I was actually into this song a few months ago. Love me some Max Martin.
While my 53-year-old Beatle brain prefers the older genres, as a long-time songwriter and Pro Tools user, I can appreciate the exploded view of a song, especially if I can nick a few ideas from it. Thanks.
Love him or hate him, Max Martin's genius is evident as exposed so brilliantly by Rick in this video. Max brings one element at the time creating a movie made of sound and rhythms that's very easy to hear and memorize, it's the mere-exposure effect at it's very finest.
Holy crap that dude is actually brilliant
This is one of my favorite 'WMTSG' videos so far. Getting a peak into Martin's technique is completely mesmerizing. So good!!
This series is so fun. This is a truly unique offering, and i love the diversity of styles.
I would also pay for this. Would love breakdowns of the Weeknd's Max Martin songs on dawn fm
this producer is a genius, not only the fact of using the side chains, but the musicality of the arrangements!
Very interesting to get an insight into how a "modern" pop song is constructed. It is an engineering project more than anything else, and here you can really talk about a song being deconstructed.
do one on Blank Space (another Max track) someday
This is a fenomenal video! I'm so impressed by the depth of your videos and your musical knowledge. You dialogue with french impressionists and Max Martin with the same ease, and always openminded and understanding that there is more than one way of making good music. I'm sorry to see some comments of lesser gifted people than you saying that analyzing this kind of pop music shouldn't be of interest, that of course showing only their limitations. I too am not a pop producer but learned so much from this video and groove with you! By the way "What makes this song Great" is some of the best learning material for studying music production out there!
I would pay for a course on dissecting modern pop!
Yes I would too!
Absolutely.
If we get to deep dive look into stems like this? Oh hells yeah. I will pay ridiculous amounts of money for that.
I am paying for one its around 10k a semester.
@@evanevan6548 where are you pursuing it?
Love this new approaching showing the protools session... Great song! I wouldn't have listen to this without you pointing out how amazing the production is. Very creative... Thank you again for your generosity. Amazing...
Thanks Tom!
The fact Rick is so positive in his appreciation of all types of music made me watch 20 mins of this video. I sometimes wish I wasn't so critical towards certain styles of music. In some ways it holds me back as the person I could've been. With that said I am what I am. A bit closed minded to the modern era of music production. It's just that a song like this one here does not register from my ears to my brain in any pleasant manner.
Really? Nothing pleasant about it? This song is dripping with unrequited lust, youthfulness, and that main synth is giving such a pleasant roughness and bit of robotic or sharp edged vibe. This song is really sexy without being pornographic or predictable sexiness.
I think, like me Rick is really impressed by the amazing production more than the overall song. That being said listening to her sing isolated made me appreciate her voice a lot more.
Ringo Starr Horses for courses, mate. You don’t need to make apologies for liking what you like. And you achieved a lot with the Beatles, thanks for holding down the rhythm. Shame it’s only you and Sir Paul left, but that’s the breaks.
@@stealthis there´s nothing really hidden in these lyrics..."touch my body" ok, she doesn´t describe the private parts, but that´s pretty straight-forward:)
Even though i'm old school music guy I really like Max Martins stuff he is a genuis.
Yes, Max Martin is fantastic
Honestly the production is really killer on this track
Such masterful attention to detail! It grooves really, really hard! And this is coming from a prog guy!
Max Martin is a great pop producer. Anybody who says they don't think this style of music or production deserves merit has "got to be joking" and probably quite blinkered. There is a massive amount of attention to detail in this style.. no it's not so much about music theory and complexity.. but this modern style of production is outsdanding. I think once your on this level.. where it's expected of you to create "hits".. there's no looking back! Wish I had that chance..
This shows how there is a massive difference between ProTools used by semi-competents to cover up the shortcomings of a bunch of other semi-competents, and ProTools used by a master to create something that could not be produced by playing regular instruments no matter how good you are. Love your channel Rick & really appreciate the work you put in educating us.
This video is 5 years of studio experience in 30 minutes...nice job Rick!!!!!
Great breakdown, Rick.
My favourite video on TH-cam ever!
Obsessed with learning about Max and Rick guides us through the techniques so well. 💪🏻
This song is way more interesting, after watching this video with Rick's guidance, than I would have thought it deserved to be.
I never listened to this genre of music much until I heard Nick do this breakdown. After this, I gained a lot of appreciation for this type of music and its masterful production.
Max and his team are iconic, this breakdown is phenom. Thank you.
Everything just fits like a glove. And his gain staging is superb. Inspiring!!
I wish I could "like" this video about 20 times, because that's how many times I'd have to watch it to really get a handle on all the things Max Martin did on this track. It's genius, and Rick does a fantastic job breaking it all down.
This dissection of Martin's genius work is one of the most inspirational things I've ever come across on youtube as a producer
WOW! Thanks for breaking Max's work down like this. Very interesting.
I was literally talking with a friend today about how I don't like Pop, but there are a few exceptions. A track like this is a fantastic example of electronic music production. Gotta love it.
This. Song. *Slaps.*
I love love love *LOVE* this song. It was so cool seeing how it was done. The intro bass line is literally a vocal, the chords in the chorus are vocals; this song is *so unbelievably well produced,* my head *exploded* when I listened to this the first time.
Great art isn't always the classics - the production quality, as Rick is pointing out, is top notch master level. Insane attention to detail in that. Phenomenal that Rick broke it down like that, the working parts in this instance are greater than the sum IMHO.
More Max Martin and Ilya and Shellback please!! Love seeing the original stems! Great job Rick!
So blessed to have a masterclass on max Martins production. To be able to get that much of a look inside his production. Thank you Rick. - I think the wall of sound he creates on Demi Lovatos ‘cool for the summer’ is incredible, the lyrical story is one to love also. 🤯...... another production that is sublime, is ‘tightrope’ janelle monet.... a ukulele while scratching a record... go figure. The horn section.... tight as. Singing.... incredible. Acoustic + 808s.... incredible production.
Max Martin..my f'n hero! Nailing the pop genre for 25yrs!
The genius,Imo,is the meticulously crafted absolutely smoking groove through soundscapes,noise,percussion etc. Just beautifully clever!
Rick slowly becoming my favorite You Tuber. If he does Rocket Queen or Welcome Home Sanitarium, it will be a done deal 👍
This song is just incredible! Max Martin is in a class of his own.
This is probably my single favorite of the entire series.
This production and writing is INSANE. Max Martin is the GOAT. Great vid...thanks for making.
I keep coming back to your video.
The epiphany of: Love what you do. Both from you and from Max Martin.

Max Martin: *Shocked Pikachu*
This is such a great video for any music producer of any genre. Martin Martin is an absolute genius, the attention to detail is unbelievable.
Thanks for this great vid ! One of the tracks that is also very interesting is the one called "Synths". It plays an E throughout the chorus, and gives some extra tension to the music. Max Martin does very interesting things with these notes creating very adequate 7 or 9 chords. It's like the chorus of Taylor Swift's "style", which features lots of 7th and 9th in the melody line of the chorus. So brillant.
