Title: Does Max & Co write lyrics?
Post by: Romb on April 29, 2015, 07:02:20 AM
Do they?

I know that it depends. Sometimes artists write their own lyrics (and even their own toplines, like P!nk), but the latest interview with Shellback where he shows his demo of "Moves Like Jagger" actually made me think...it was his idea for that line. Not the whole lyrics though, but the main line was his.

I know that there are special people who actually suffer to write lyrics for strictly defined melody, so that it perfectly fits the topline.
Now I'm wondering, back in old Cheiron days did Max and Rami, for example, write lyrics for BSB and Britney? Or any other artists?

It cracks me up to think how fellas would write "I'm Not a Girl Not Yet a Woman" lyrics though  :D

Andreas Carlsson was hired as a lyricist for CHEIRON.

I think yes, of course they wrote lyrics. When you see credits eg Max and Rami, then one of them would have written the lyrics, not sure who wrote more. Same when it's just with Max & Denniz.
I think that Herbie Crichlow also wrote a lot of lyrics.

For "I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet a Woman", Dido has a songwriting credit as Max & Rami phoned her and asked her to help with the lyrics.

Still amazed how Jörgen wrote songs like "Girl in the mirror" and other songs all by himself. They have such a girly plot.

That's what I was thinking...I mean...damn, I hear Britney say "I can relate to these songs so much" while the whole story is written by the hairy viking Swedes  :)

Haha, because these dudes are so emotional.
Everyone's good at something, isn't it?
