Tropez Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Max Martin is essentially a music titan, he has worked with almost every major pop artist. And has pretty much dominated the music industry since the 90s. But to my knowledge, he has never done a song with Beyonce or Rihanna. The thing is, neither of them actually needs the other. They are all extremely successful in their own right. But at the same time, they have almost worked with everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImsoLOUD Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Not at all. Some other "songwriters" already had him working overtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgos Groove Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) I mean, why should they? Rihanna already had Stargate and Max and Beyoncé's sounds clearly don't align. Edited December 2, 2022 by ATWK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The7thStranger Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 A collab between Max and B would have made sense during her Sasha Fierce era, but otherwise, I don't think they would gel sonically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vale9001 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) In the 00s Max Martin was most related to a kind of pop opposited to r'n'b so no surprise Beyoncè didn't work with him. And now she doesn't need it. Rihanna didn't but she could it. i think it's just her label decision and after in the last years Martin has worked with Coldplay, The weeknd or Lizzo she could try him.

Klein Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) I don't see Beyoncé working with Max Martin, their style don't really match (maybe for IASF?). Rihanna could have worked with him for LOUD or GGGB, it would have worked. Maybe for TTT too. But I don't see him on other albums like Rated R, Unapologetic or ANTI.

byzantium Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I’m not surprised. Max has a certain Rock-Pop vibe which makes him great for artists like Pink, Kelly, Katy, and Taylor. Less good for artists like Gaga, Rihanna, and Beyoncé. I also think Ariana’s better music was created without max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically. The fact that I can't even picture how a song with either would even sound like? Don't doubt either could have some good songs with him, but I don't really think it was ever a necessary collaboration for either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricanaire Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 well DJ Got Us Falling In Love is a loud reject that was written in a writing camp for the album I wonder what other Max songs she rejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FENTY. Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I'm really surprised they couldn't come up with something for either LOUD or Talk That Talk. that and how katy perry collab never happened in the early 2010s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swissman Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I can't see Beyoncé doing a Max Martin song and actually the only era I could imagine she possibly would have...is an era that doesn't exist, an era that could have been Grown Woman and Standing on the Sun as first/second singles...and perhaps a Max Martin song fitting on whatever album they could have filled out. I've always imagined that how this early 2013 era was shaping out to be (when it was annoucned that these LITERAL commercial songs would be her singles) would have been an attempt to get back into commercial/radio hits. BUT then Bow Down/I Been On came out and it was clear she was not going for that at all. I don't see it for IASF era tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dystopian Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 i don't think max really writes demos that get passed around, he mainly writes specifically for/with the artists who hire him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Pop Queen Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 They're black crossover acts with some diversity in their music and thus have a bigger variety of producers to choose from. Their music trajectories would be virtually the same had Max and his protegees never left Sweden. Some of their respective peers, not so much.
