Not a fan of her music, but this is totally interesting.

How cool. After Jörgen now also Max works with her. I guess we are talking of single material as always when Max is on an album. 8)
MAX MARTIN IS ALSO ON THE ALBUM.
max martin... never changes..
max martin is everywhere :-*
"It seems to be called no"
Hahaha, I love popjustice :D
Great news!
sounds exciting! can't wait to hear the song.
i never liked jennifer lopez so i really dont care if she works with max martin or not..
yay !
get that hit !
She was working with Luke and Luke's team at some point in 2012, don't know what'll come out of it.
I love Jennifer, she has a lot of great pop songs. Max will pimp her music even more!

;D
Haven't listened to any redone productions (that I know of anyway) but the links in this thread shows that it's the same stuff over and over again. Not that good stuff unfortunately, more like quick mass produced crap.
Too bad he couldn't keep it up and move forward after lady gaga. Anyway I love those songs -alejandro is prolly the best song of this decade. Great neo-retro sound.
redone is one of the best producers in this world. without redone no gaga
Max produced J Lo's next single..... http://www.josepvinaixa.com/blog/jennifer-lopez-first-love-new-single/

Amazing news!
Though I'm not that excited about a midtempo with piano...

Not that much of a midtempo
She changed the pace with a preview of her new single, "First Love," produced and written by Max Martin. The upbeat, bass heavy second single, which debuts in May, hits hard from jump.
"Max Martin [is a] genius, man. He's a super producer, maker of great pop hits. I've always wanted to work with him but our paths [hadn't] crossed. I sought him out," she said of the "First Love" producer.

So excited - hope it will be a gigantic pop chorus.
Max always delivers!
And I'm excited about Diplo as well.
I like her as a person but I don't think she's a good singer and I don't understand her lack of involvement in her albums...
Savan Kotecha and Ilya have been tweeting about this song, so I'd assume they're involved. That would make the songwriting team for this song the same as for "Problem" by Ariana Grande.
Interesting to see Ilya's rise through the ranks as a writer/producer... Worked with Shellback last year on Cher Lloyd's "I Wish" and now teaming up with Max Martin.

Yes looks like Ilya is more and more becoming a part of Max's team now. Tove Lo talked about a new songwriting collective that Max mentored and Ilya is definitely in that.
I've never heard of him before. But I hope he stands also for pop.
Me neither, who's Ilya?

Pretty boring and dated. Sounds like a total throwaway. Two new Max Martin songs in the space of a couple days and they've both been disappointments.

I totally agree with you...
For some reasons the intro reminded Your Body by Christina Aguilera. As I said in another thread Max's nowdays songs could have been easly produced by other producers. He has lost the sound that used to distinguished him from other producers.
It's just sad...
I didn't listen to this song yet, but I'm not entirely sure if losing your "own sound" is a disadvantage. It's great while your success lasts, but having an own sound usually is closely connected with a short shelf-life, because your own sound is wearing off. I think having an own sound is good in the beginning of your career, when you need a unique aspect so you stand out from the rest. But as soon as you're breaking through, you need to advance. You need to change your sound in order to offer something new. I think it's better for Max to stand out with melody, than with the production.
Anybody hears the "Your Body" resemblance??
This is super good.....waaaay better than "Your Body", and as good as "Problem"....actually I like it better than "Problem", although that's good too. With songs like these, it's not so much a sound you can go "That's Max", but they're just so HUUUGE, and no BS. dR. Luke has a more identifiable sound now, as he re-uses things like the acoustic guitars, but Max's stuff is more like serious classic pop.
** Encouraging update......looked on Pulse Music Board........most people really like it on there :D
I quite like it. But feel this could flop like "Your body". Savan believed it become big but it didn't happen. Jennifer Lopez has the World Cup song out too, I don't see people focusing on "First love". And there are artists with bigger impact like Ariana Grande that create a hype.

Who knows.....the song doesn't even premiere until tomorrow! :D But I just went back and listened to "Your Body".....totally different vibe....it's cold.....the melodies are not as good, and the beat isn't as strong. And it didn;t really stand out -- sound wise -- from most other stuff that was out. This has a happpy, ecstatic feel to it, and it's got a retro sound that sets it apart....that's what the ''Pulsers" like about it, and they're the first ones usually to scream "Generic!' :-) One thing I know....this is a New York City song to the bones, and will get alot of play here.......
It sounds like "Your Body"... the same structure actually and imo "Your Body" is better!
the chorus reminds me so much of another song but I don't remember which one. anyone else?
in my opinion the production is not lifting/carrying the melodies and is just not tight enough to be a hit. i don't like the mixing either and Serban use to make way better mixes, but maybe he did what he could with what they sent him hehe :)
Sure it has some elements from "Your Body".
I like to hear Max exploring new things, he's reinventing himself again and also he's surrounded by fresh talents that bring new ideas to the table.
I guess, we, as fans, should evolve too.
Both, Problem and First Love, are quite awesome, different, but still Max-ish.
iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/first-love-single/id869396921
I like it , the melody is the most important for me and it's very good in this song.
This one has many resemblances of Your Body, the "oh-oh"'s, the synth work, the structure.
Maybe with the drums of Your Body I'd like the song way more, I'm not really feeling the drums.
At least to me, it's a NO.
And Ariana is a big YES.
BTW, who's this Ilya dude?
does not remind me of Your Body because Your Body is pretty fuckin fantastic.
First Love is mediocre. the vocal production is lacking -- a sign that Max's involvement must have been limited. needless to say, vocals in his productions are always polished, tuned, compressed well, etc. Jennifer's are shaky here and there, and there's precision lacking.
About Ilya, he's a swedish songwriter/producer and supposedly the story goes like this: He's a gamer, so is Shellback and that other dude who made "I wish" whos name I can't remember right now. The three of them are playing FIFA right, and got to talking about music and it turns out that Ilya (and the other guy) has this rough outline of a song. They finish it together, and its success together with the connection to Shellback probably was the reason to him now working with the big shots.
It reminds me a bit to ''Let's get crazy'' of Cassie.

Oh, thank you for the info :)
I'll add that to my hobbies though... haha :)
I love First Love! I think it will be a big hit.
It's not Max best track recently but still a good pop track in my opinion
I'm not feeling it.

J-Lo talks about how they came up with the concept for the song........http://radio.com/2014/05/07/jennifer-lopez-interview-aka-first-love/
Thanks, it's amazing how Max and Savan can have a conversation with someone and then a few days later have a new song written

Come on, she just can't talk about her involvement when she doesn't have writing credits or had a conversations with the songwriters about the lyrics... B*tch please!!
I actually like this song. It has grown on me.
It's grown on me too

So shocking that PopJustice made a joke about this high honor of a water-mite named after her.
They're just jealous!! :-D :-D
