It's pretty safe to say that Ali is the least musically skilled person in Wolf Cousins, allthough he is a great track producer!
Mind you, Ilya did "I Wish", "Bang Bang", "One Last Time", "Santa Tell Me", He was on "Bad Blood" and "Love Me Like You Do", and did "Good Thing" and "First Love", all of which are amazing pop songs! Besides Ali's production record, he deifinitely has the most spectacular discography of all the Wolf Cousins.

Personally, I don't think it's safe to judge the musical ability of a producer based on pop records. I think Ali's production while being quite simple, is elegant and in good taste.

Focus is actually a catchy song, I think. It was written by Max Martin. However, the single isn't performing very well right now. I'm a bit surprised about that situation. I still love that song.

New Max song 2nite.

Dangerous Woman

It's written by

Max Martin

Don't know if more people are involved on the production side.

Amazing. That downtempo, sultry beat and when that synth bass kicks in at the chorus. Full-bodied and "dangerous" sounding. The song gives me a Weeknd vibe meets Mariah/Xtina. I love the repetition of "something 'bout" and the post-chorus verse after chorus #2 and its re-entry at the song's end. Classic Max structure.

Excited to see this live on SNL this weekend.

Oh. and.... VOCODER.

Well, wiki tricked on me again, he was credited as a producer in the morning, now it's Carlsson. I know they are different Johans  :P. I shouldn't trust wiki that much.

EDIT: I'll fix it myself, Shellback's wiki has been mistakenly updated and the song is placed in Max Martin's writing discography. I wish there is an easy truthworty source for writers and producers.

If you're following Savan on twitter, you'd know it's topping charts on radio. Lol.
Must be a personal favorite for Savan or something, he tweets about it all the time. It's not even a good song imo.

I think STS is a really good song for being innovative bringing elements from other genres and it's super catchy. It's not my favourite but I'm glad it's one of the biggest songs on Radio and Youtube.
Savan only tweets about Ariana and Trump, it's kinda annoying.
