I have a friend who took notes during the interview. I think he did a really nice work, detailed and precise. It is about 6 pages for a one hour and a half talk. I will not post it here as Savan made it clear he didn't want people to record it or even screenshot the conversations in the app. I will be very pleased to send it to whoever wants it via PM. BTW, if you are not there yet, I would be happy to see you guys on the Instagram page I created, @maxmartinmusic fan page.

Thanks for sharing the experience, it's kinda sad that not everyone is able to enjoy the experience :/

Did he really said that? Why someone would do an interview but expecting no one talks about that?
I would love to read these notes, mainly because he said that.

I read chalk app is like reddit.

Yes, he insisted a few times that he would be bothered if people recorded the conversation and spread it online. Ther was even a screenshot detector activated in the app. We were only around 80 people connected at a time, crazy to be so few interacting with those legends! Anyways, to whoever wants it, and also you J.Fco, DM me your emails.

Great! Finally we know - they did not have an argument probably. Rami was just tired.

Quote"Max and I worked together from '97. For about seven years. Then I took five years off as I was really tired. I know, it's a long pause. We were so close, but after seven years we became like an old couple. I was supposed to take one year off, but it became five.


Quote"Max's studio is an old house. It's Frank Sinatra's old house actually. If only you could see it, it's beautiful. There are handmade carpets, beautiful sofas, a library, a fireplace, a deer head, a bar... It feels like you're stepping into Frank Sinatra's art deco home.

Interesting also what he says about the split. 5 % for addding hi-hats?

Shellback is off for 8th year... 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021... I'm waiting for them with Martin to write ten albums a year again.

But he worked on Taylor Swift's 1989 record in 2014, he had Adele and Carly Rae Jepsen in 2015, Can't Stop The Feeling in 2016, Bon Appetit in 2017, Taylor's Reputation in 2017, Ed Sheeran and that Jonas Brothers song in 2019, Diamonds with Sam Smith last year.

I wish I had at least one of his worst years...

No one related to Max releases songs regularly, none of the Wolf Cousins get cuts every year, some of them take a long time to release anything, and it's been like that throughout the late 2010s

Come on! Are you guys fans?

Mattman and Robin: YDE, Zara Larsson
Oscar Holter: The Weeknd, the biggest song of the year?
Oscar Gorres: Troye Sivan, Ellie Goulding, Sam Smith
Johan Carlsson: his work with Katy Perry's Smile
Ali Payami: Foster The People, Monsta X
Rickard Göransson: Jeremy Zucker, Joji
Tove Lo: featured on a Martin Garrix song, other with Sean Paul produced by Banx & Ranx, the re-release of her album with new songs...

All of this in the midst of a pandemic... which makes it really hard to work.

A good thing about the interview is that Rami and Max stopped working together because Rami needed some time off. Not a fight as we thought.

None of them wrote 10 albums a year like Max did until a few years ago, I mean, most of them will get cuts anyway each year (Ali didn't have a single cut in 2018 and Rickard either in 2019 for example) but they won't release songs as often as... let's say... Justin Tranter

Shellback has been taking things easy for a few years for mental health reasons. He used to overwork himself, so he only works on a few things a year now. (According to an interview)

I don't know where to post this because I think we don't need a thread for one song.

Written by Golden Landis Von Jones, Omer Fedi, Rami Yacoub, Billy Walsh & Ilya Salmanzadeh.
Produced by Ilya & Omer Fedi.

And to add to the info on the song Don't Sleep: published by Columbia, Universal, and - most importantly - MXM Music.

Frankly I dont see how he would be overworked, he wasn't that successful after all. I guess he struggles with composing hits, it is not easy task to compete with Max's talent.

Being burnt-out has little to do with being successful, although it is an interesting point to call Shellback unsuccessful. Shellback used to sit in studio 7 days a week which is an extremely wrong amount of physical inactivity for any profession.

This is such an unfortunate comment in a lot of ways
