I love best mistake. especially the beat

[B Steady]

she's way too hot to criticize the video

re Best Mistake: how can you love the beat? the drums are so simple and we also know them from like 20 key wane songs before ...

[j.fco.morales]

Seems like you forgot about Ellie, Benny cheater.

Grande wasn't so sure. "I hated it at first," she says, describing her vocals on "Break Free," which she sings ahead of the beat. Co-producer Max Martin convinced her to sing in what she calls a "more forward placement." "I was like no, no, no! Please just let me sing it how I would sing it," she mock-whines. "But he was like, 'Just try it. Trust me.'" She loved the results. "I was so pleased when I tried something that I thought -- no, that I knew I would hate."

benny:
I don't know why i love it, I just know it gave me a good feeling. I guess after 3 pop songs I enjoyed a more stripped down song.

I'm fascinated by this idea of  ''forward placement'', so I re-listened to the song a bunch of times to check it out......but where does she sing ''ahead of the beat"?   Don't hear it.....anybody else?

i don't think it's that technical. she doesn't sing ahead of the beat, he means more the emphasis of her singing... particularly the pre-chorus i think. "when i say i don't want ya"

[Rebecca]

I'm interested in this "forward placement" too. Max has so many ideas, or is this typical?

[j.fco.morales]

She calls it "forward placement".

What Max wants is grab the attention of the listener.
I really HATE Break Free -mainly because I can't stand that overrated Zedd stuff- but I know the words and the melodies after two or three listenings and Max is the best making catchy melodies.

He did it, that's it.
And he have done the same so many times before, that's his talent.

First review:

9. 'Love Me Harder' feat The Weeknd (by Max)
As anyone with fully functioning ears will tell you, The Weeknd's own songs are a non-stop borefest of emotional inertia, but 'Elastic Heart' showed that he's pretty good in small doses. And that's true of 'Love Me Harder', which starts small and slightly pervy - "if you let me invade your space" is uttered in the first verse – before mushrooming out into a 'throbbing', electro-heavy chorus. There's a really catchy post-chorus bit where Ariana sings "love me, love me...harder, harder" before some big vacuum-esque synths zip around all over the show.
8.5/10

[j.fco.morales]

I'm afraid of this.

Here she says "One Last Try" was done by Max, Savan and Rami... Could it be?

Edit: Popjustice says the same! And Falk, obviously.

MAX AND RAMI.

[turnaround]

Oh. Probably Savan wrote it with both individually then. I don't believe they were all together.

But great to hear. The MKTO song was nice.

[Jules]

I don't believe they were all together.

Because, always make sure to remember:
MAX AND RAMI ARE IN A VERY, VEEEERY SERIOUS BIG FIGHT !!!
