John Legend is still a boring artist but Saweetie makes this so much better

It sounds like old Benny and the lyrics are very Mike Posner, I love it although BTS could be easily replaceable

Podcast interview with Max Martin by musician-host Tom Power of CBC’s q. Maybe the most in-depth interview with Max about his songwriting process.

Thanks for the link! Always great to hear Max speak

Well, big budget projects are not the trend nowadays.

Usually, people dies to work with such a high profile artists and you don't ask for money when Beyoncé calls. The amount of publishing you receive is more than enough. An adding "produced songs for Beyoncé" to your bio is a big deal. After the pandemic, people can work remotely and send files back and forth.
Probably, some of these producers didn't even meet Beyoncé.

She's signed to Columbia Records through Sony. She doesn't own her masters and the revenue comes mainly from three things: publishing, touring and partnerships with brands.

If I hear all these songs from an artist I would think:

1. The artist knows what she's doing, personality, lyric wise: it makes sense as a whole
2. Great songs, cohesive sound
3. No hit single in sight, give me more songs.

The french house revival is a great idea. The Slut Pop was a great idea as well.

Problematique is the clear standout.
Revelations, Confessions, Something About You and Born Again are cool too.
