German article about Max Martin - "Max Martin ist der König des Pops"

It's the first German article I remember being written about Max.

But they should have been a bit more careful.

"Sandberg/Martin arbeitet in den Cheiron-Studios in Stockholm."
It says he works at the Cheiron studios. They should be informed Cheiron studios are no more.


Interesting though:

Wenn ein Lied fertig ist, singt es Sandberg höchstpersönlich ein, danach wird es nach Kalifornien geschickt, wo ein Mitarbeiter den "L.A. Car Test" macht: Der Song muss auf einer Autofahrt am Pacific Coast Highway funktionieren. Dann erst wird er an die Künstler ausgeliefert.

When a song is finished Max Martin himself records the vocals (for the demos) and then the song is sent to California where a employee takes the "L.A. Car Test"
The song must work on the Pacific Coast Highway. If it works it is delivered to the artist.

Naturally, duh!! Don't we all test out our songs that way ? 🤑 :-D

Our B Steady found this on FAZ. A very big German newspaper. I am not sure if this was also in the printed issue.

I hope Google Translate will give you a hint.
