    Something that largely bothered me with the anti-Jack argument is how much agency it takes away from female artists. Lorde put it pretty well in the interview you pulled from in the video that there are plenty of well-documented instances where artists have said "No" to elements Jack has suggested during the recording process and he was receptive towards it.
    I mean, to address the elephant in the room, we all know the music industry has never been the most accommodating to female artists in a number of ways, so I can completely understand the appeal of working with a producer who's well-known for not being driven by personal artistic ego or predatory instinct.
    (I remember this also being the case for Troye Sivan when they briefly worked together, sharing how he never felt threatened as a queer person by overtly "masculine" energy that other producers would exude by taking the steering wheel)

      That's interesting. I remember people saying that Max Martin ruined Taylor Swift's music. Actual fans said this just because she wasn't making country music anymore. I've never understood why fans complain whenever artists tries new things or work with new producers. I can be a huge fan of someone without liking every single thing they do. Making the same music over and over is boring.

Taylor is more focused on the storytelling in the lyrics and less on the actual production piece so she sticks to a formula that has worked and continues to work for the sound of her music. As the creator said, this is a Taylor style thing and not a producer issue. He’s helping create what she wants to create. I don’t know anything about Lana Del Ray.

    I saw this argument brewing up on twitter as well- I’m a huge fan of sling and honestly I think the production is intricate and pretty genius. I agree with your opinion of blaming the artist. Taylor’s album especially I think really exposes that the the root of the problem is the artist writing and not Jack being a shit producer. I also think his production on Taylor’s album also says a lot about the current standard of mainstream pop writing but that’s a story for another day

    1:35 The problem here is when the artist is working on an album with the producer, the artist has no idea if the producer is using very similar production or songwriting with another artist, perhaps even something that critics will call plagiarism. Then they might only find out after the album has been sent to mixing, mastering and vinyl production. Then there is no turning back, the artist is *not* in charge, because the producer knows that they are using the same writing/production with two different artists, but the artist doesn't know until it is too late.

    One thing you don’t mention is that Jack may be very skilled (manipulative) at insinuating his ideas. Clearly he has exceptional social skills (a million artists work with him and say nice things about him).
    However he may also be so manipulative that he insinuates his ideas so well with such excellent social skills that the artists walk away thinking, “oh, Jack’s great, such a great collaborator.” Meanwhile, their music was sullied because it got Antonoff-ed.
    I don’t know.
    All I know is I’ve never heard anything by Jack Antonoff (as artist or producer) I like.
    All I know is one of my favorite artists, Annie Clark (St. Vincent), had 2 albums in a row that were bland, derivative, formulaic disappointments. Common denominator? You guessed it:

  • @cli260
    @cli260 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I disagree with you about blaming the artist for the sound, instead of Antonoff. Obviously, if the artist likes it this way, they gonna choose it and the end call is theirs to make (at least it should be). However, Antonoff's signature style of producing is proven to be effective streams and money-wise (Taylor is the best example here). I really wish you would go into details of his production though, because this is where my criticism for Antonoff begins. His production is, for lack of the better word, gutless. And it covers pretty good field of pop music and that is the real problem. Of course, if someone is like "he ruins pop music, cause he's working with women and demands from them to sound that way", that is the stupid argument and no one should make it. But I do think his production is plenty of times just unengaging and bland (again, for me, but also for many more people) and I wish you'd dive into that more. Cause I really wanna like his works, but there's a certain limit to it every time. Thanks for the video 🙏🏻

      In actual fact, Jack Antonoff gets all the praise and the women do not. When the critics like the album, e.g. Melodrama, they still write something like "Jack Antonoff is still writing Jack Antonoff songs-they just happen to be sung by people like Lorde now" (one publication actually wrote those exact words). But when Melodrama was nominated for a Grammy the Grammys said "The women need to step up". When the critics didn't like the album, Jack still wins producer of the year. That is the real misogyny.

    i dig where you're coming from here, but its quite a bit more nuanced than that in the producer/artist relationship...especially when a label is involved. there is a ton of push and pull that the 'business' puts out toward an artist and the recording contract matters a TON in the recording process...there can be clauses forcing a musician to choose from a list of 'approved' producers...so read before you sign if you sign...which is where i completely agree with you: the onus absolutely falls on the artist from that starting point 100%. and many times a producer is considered more important than the artist themselves (by the label i mean [which is frustrating garrrrbage as an aside] and can actually be a clause in a contract!). i hope that the artists have the fortitude to make their voices heard in the studio; which, again, really depends on nuances of personality...the stronger personality amongst all sides tends to win out...and that pesky contract sometimes does as well. That being said...i personally don't have any issue with Jack Antanoff...he seems like a nice dude who's carved out a niche for himself that a lot of people really enjoy. so good on him! also, perfect video title here! nicely done to you as well!

    I’m not a jack fan or hater, i don’t really listen to much pop in general these days because so much of it does nothing for me. But a producer having a sound is super important. Everyone saying that all the songs he does sound the same are just trying to pick on someone thats more successful than them.

    What is often left out of this conversation unfairly, is that Jack Antonoff is apparently not a creep and doesn't have any creepy or aggressive or hypercritically misogynistic friends/employees, to the extent that all these female artists enjoy working with him. Helps that his main sound engineer is female. It's a safe studio to work in - not something that can be said about all, or that many, places.

    They were the overthought, overproduced queens.

    But they lost their place in the culture, because he enables them to be mediocre.
    That's just it.
    A producer can push a artist to be better.
    By making Bangers that they would have to live UP to.
    That's not what jack does.
    His influences are not recent artists, he does not care about now or what's next.
    Rap artists are Always on top of their game because producers are making Beats that push them New places all the Time.

    Taylor Swift, Lorde, Lana Del Ray and their producers will NEVER be able to write a song like Simulation Swarm by Big Thief. Their brains would fry at the idea of the singer being the one to write the lyrics and perform it with real instruments. Adrianne Lenkers name should be known by anyone who claims to support female artists because she's the real deal, and Jack will never work with her or with anyone as talented as her because she just won't sell to the tiktok kids as well as another identical taylor swift album. Tell me "look what you made me do" is a good song. go ahead. i'll wait.

      Eh, I love Big Thief but I think you're going a little overboard here. A few things to note:
      a) Adrienne Lenker has a very unique voice. It's a love or hate type thing. I personally love her voice but I can understand why some would find it grating.
      b) Antonoff has a very specific style of production. While I don't love everything he puts out, I do enjoy most of the Bleachers catalog. It's a little extreme to call his production style "selling to the TikTok kids".
      He's good at making solid, atmospheric pop music. Big Thief is almost the polar opposite of three artists you've mentioned. It doesn't have anything to do with "selling to TikTok kids". They just operate on different plains so it's pointless to compare Big Thief to these artists.
      Also, Taylor Swift's newer stuff is miles better than her old stuff. Much of that credit goes to Antonoff imo.

Jack Antinoff is only capable of producing ONE type of "atmospheric pop" and its why anyone can guess whether or not jack worked on a song within 10 seconds of the song playing. At least you're right about one thing, Adrienne Lenker IS the polar opposite of Lorde, Taylor Swift, and Lana Del Ray; she's a real artist. she plays her own guitar (better than any pop star ever could). she has a unique voice that isnt curated by record label executives, and most importantly she writes her own lyrics that arent shallow throw away lines about boys being mean.

      Whether someone has a voice that is appealing or not is totally subjective. There is nothing that is objectively appealing about anything. Your use of the phrase "real music" just shows how much of a tool you really are lmao
      Firstly, I don't really listen to any of the artists you mention. Regardless, they all play instruments. Swift, Lorde and Lana Del Ray all play guitar and many other instruments. Taylor Swift and Lana Del Ray write their own lyrics. Whether you think being curated by a record label is good or bad, is purely subjective. I haven't heard any auto tune on Swift's new music or Lana Del Ray's music.
