The label definitely sucks. They basically forced her to record Max Martin songs for Sweetener because they worried about selling the Pharrel songs. If you haven’t read that Fader profile I recommend it. Industry Rule #4080.
Blazed - so bad The Light Is Coming - probably her worst song hands-down R.E.M. - fine but boring Sweetener - great Succesful - bad bad not good Borderline - forgettable Get Well Soon - great
I love blazed and the light is coming is pretty fun. R.E.M. is good not great. Same for Borderline. The rest are great. I love Successful!
I wish I would never be confronted with another Max Martin song in my life. Good to know where we all stand.
If y’all don’t like Successful get out of the thread The Oharrell and Max Martin songs both sound like trash next to Imagine and Thank You Next tho
wow agreed across the board though i think i like "borderline" and "blazed" a little more than that the more important credit in all the max martin songs is ilya imo
I grew up in the Netherlands in the 00s so I’m aware. I mean the EDM infused pop music we were flooded with. Sounded a lot like this, at least parts of it.
