Allllllright here's a new tidbit to go over!
Consequence of Sound published a long write-up & interview with Ryan Tedder today (link here) and he's talking a lot about writing and co-producing for Adele, Beyonce, U2, etc..
The article ends with him talking about his experience working with U2 and he teased this about the direction of SOE (U2 page link):
you can’t expect a 20-year-old to gravitate to a U2 record if it’s not put in the context of what they listen to today.
i'm sorry but that is so patronising to 20-year-olds
they're not all bloody dumb and dumber, don't need to dumb it all down and spoonfeed the music to them...
my 18 and 20 year olds pick and choose the music they like - if the songs are strong that's all that matters, don't dress it up in a dance beat to attract the discerning ears... oh man that smacks of desperation - that's it i hate the songs already
