actually if you put together a few chords and if the bass sounds nice ( it kind of makes its own melody) , then you can sing on top of that, at least 3 different melodies. If only those chords and bass tell you something. and of course, the drums will tell you how to sing. It's all about your capability to feel what works and what a chord progression "sings to you"...
Wow, what a great guy! So talented and so nice! I'm intrigued! I grew up with his music and it still means a lot to me and I'm sure to a lot of people. I wish someone could make a documentary about him. I would watch it for sure!
Max Martin has work with everybody 7 of them my person favorite singerSKelly Clarkson Celine DionShakiraDemi LovatoJLOTaylor Swift (of course)& even ADELE!
He's more influential than Mozart.........Max literally created the rule book for modern pop music. More popular composers have adapted their way of writing to Max's philosophies than they have to any other classical composer in history.
When you break down Mozart's compositions, they are actually less innovative and complex than Max and Denniz's music. Mozart's complexity is accessible, the number of notes per measure, the extravagant chord progressions, etc, it's viewable from the outside.......Anyone with a basic understanding of composition will see this as "complex" (which is why so many snobs and academics praise it so highly....because they don't have the lens necessary to observe pop music. They view things as is, they don't look beyond),.......The complexity in Max's music is hidden, only accessible to those who analyze it for themselves, instead of taking some dumb college classes that spoon-feed you info on ancient composers.
This guy has written nearly every pop song for the past 20 years. i dont think he will ever get enough credit, I would love to meet this man. I would love to have him as my mentor.
From what i hear, it's real tough to get to work with him. Max has gotten to the point where he appreciates people more if they don't ask him to work on a song.
No need to make it instrumental. Actually Max Martin sings like a god at it's said that the song on his demotapes often are far better then the single.
