You had some studio time, or you’re continuing to, with Britney. What is that like?
 

She’s extremely talented. It’s funny getting to work with her sometimes, you know, because you just think about the history and how much of pop music is influenced today by things she’s done and invented.


It’s gotta be surreal.
 

It’s super surreal to sit there and hear Britney Spears sing one of your songs. It’s like — it’s one of those things on the checklist. You know, I checked off Kelly Clarkson too. There are very few of those marquee artists where it’s like, okay, check, that’s really cool. It just feels like…it holds a different weight.

I love working with new artists because you’re always getting to start with a clean palette and something that hasn’t been treaded on yet, but when you’re working with artists like that…I’m producing Shania Twain’s album right now, and that’s another complete—


Wow, that’s out of left field!
 

Yeah! You go back and you’re like “Let me reference one of her old records to see what they were doing on ‘Man, I Feel Like A Woman.’†It’s like…jeez. It’s crazy!


Before I get to Shania, which I’m very interested in, everyone’s always fascinated: What is Britney like in the studio, and what is the recording process like?
 

Super, beyond pro. Beyond sweet. Comes in. Nails it. Knows the tunes. With her, it’s been a very different thing, case by case. There are songs where she has a lot of input, as far as “I wanna go for this vibe and this is what I’m listening to, and this is what I’m into and this is what I want to execute,†and there are other times where she’s like “This song speaks to me. I learned it and I wanna kill it.†And she does. She’s been wonderful.

There’s one song that’s inspired by…
 

Squeeze.


Squeeze, yeah. What is that all about? That seems entirely unlikely.
 

It’s cool. It’s a little left-of-center. I’m a huge Squeeze fan, so anytime I can — no pun intended — try to squeeze them or Elvis Costello into some sort of influence in whatever it is we’re doing, the happier I am. I’m excited about how the music’s coming out

Do we know the source of this interview.

 

I don't know the source of this one, but it is true, Matthew Koma already talked about it months ago in an interview and already said back then one of the songs she recorded was a song inspired by Squeeze. This is the interview he did : https://thump.vice.com/en_us/article/matthew-koma-is-ready-for-his-solo

 

When you're working with other people do you come up with songs that you would rather hold on to for yourself?

It depends. With Britney, for example, one of the songs she recorded was a song that I had been working on, channeling Squeeze. They're one of my favorite bands and when she heard it she was really digging it.

It's been months since he first talked about her , i wonder when will her album be ready, or at least a new single, i seriously need new music.

I feel u on that sis , i think the good thing about it is that shes takin her time unlike that BJ mess , shes literally been working on this album for a year already (1 year next month)

Yeah i wouldn't be too excited about that tho, we don't know if they changed direction in the process or not, and if she put her heart and soul in this, .....if autotune, vocoder and Myah Marie are involved or not....
She could even take 10 years, if she's not really into it , it would still be a mess tbh. And i just hope it won't go in the same direction as Pretty Girls because that's really not what i want, but since it flopped i want to believe it won't.

I'm so sorry :gloria: it's been 2 albums in a row that i didn't like, so i'm excited but in the same time  i'm so scared to be disappointed again that i don't want to have big hopes. I have a small feeling it will be good this time, but that's also what i thought for BJ and see the result :orangu:

Hearing about album 9 makes the Britney Army so warm and fuzzy on the inside!!!

It's always so telling when people speak about Britney in the studio. She's definitely a true professional <3 hopefully their work will make it to the album.

 

I love it when the producers who have worked with Britney always have VERY nice things to say about her!  :yay1:

 

THESE!!  :yas:  :thumbsup:  I'm sooo excited that she is working with him!! He did a lot of pretty amazing songs for Carly Rae Jepsen's last album! He knows about amazing dance pop! Can't wait! Really hope it makes the album!!!  :excited:
