Despite being one of popular music’s most prolific songwriters (it’s likely you’ll be familiar with at least 90% of his body of work) the name Max Martin still only really resonates with those keen on the intricacies of songwriting. For those in the know, it's a name that is synonymous with crafting ‘perfect’ pop.
Tracks penned (or co-penned) by the Swedish songsmith tend to sell and stream phenomenally well. They also serve to underscore the qualities of the artists themselves.
Notable examples include Britney Spears’ iconic breakthrough, Baby One More Time or the Backstreet Boys’ first single We’ve Got it Goin' On (and the group's ensuing salvo of boyband-defining hits). Examples that prove how Martin is an adroit judge of which songs will fit each artist. Then, tirelessly working to get the best from the vocal performers he’s working with.
