Summary

Jess is joined by Andy Bellatti (Astrology with Andy) to explore the unparalleled career and influence of pop songwriter-producer Max Martin. While pop stars come and go, Max Martin is the constant in the modern music era. We go through his many reinventions and flexibility with genre from the Britney, Backstreet Boys, NSync early days to his popified version of punk rock music with Pink, Kelly Clarkson & Katy Perry to his EDM era with Kesha, Usher, Demi Lovato & Britney (again) to his work with established musicians like Taylor Swift & The Weeknd.
