Ran in here to post these!

THANK YOU FOR THIS THREAD! He produced so many bangers and also killed so many careers

I'd completely forgotten about Havana Brown, but Porcelain Black and Midnight Red are still on my playlist.

I also forgot the mention this BANGER I was so obsessed with this song back in the day

Honestly, everything he did with Nicole Scherzinger was some of his best work ever. Club Banger Nation would have been a #1 smash hit all over the world if only Gaga had sung it.

oh i know exactly what happened haha

-i think the time they spent together working was actually very small for how long that period lasted, like only a few months max

-she had everything already. the songs, the image, voice and persona. he didn't develop her at all. he just used some synths, made it more electro and slapped it on the Born This Way album.

-he picked terrible singles. she wanted MF, MFM and PLP, he chose TIWRRLL, NN and OWA.

-she was obviously difficult to work with, always blaming others and also going through an allegedly abusive marriage.

-after the first 2 singles flopped, she was making zero money and everything halted. after that initial momentum nobody wanted to invest in her again.

-RedOne's other artists signed to his imprint were all in the same boat and stuck there with no releases or promotion. Havana Brown scored one moderate hit and immediately left, making me think that the company was shady and giving out bad contracts.

-RedOne allegedly had PB ghostwriting many of his tracks but there's no evidence to this claim. She's credited on a few songs officially and sang BGV on a couple, i think that happened during their first stint before they started feuding.

-After the long delays, fans were very vocal asking for the album on social media. RedOne would delete all their comments, but he did leak SMB to stop their harassment and later released the MF demo- no final polishing, no official release.

-they eventually relaunched, performing the 4 tracks and trying to get buzz again. she did a surprisingly detailed promo tour in Europe. RedOne allegedly paid for OWA to reach the top of iTunes in France, giving her a top 20 on the official chart. Once again, she was making zero money for him.

-she found out her manager was working with RedOne behind her back (don't really know what this means, but they were being shady and placating her i guess). she was furious and they fell out again, she was threatening to trash his office.

-Red One allegedly leaked her tracks to sabotage her, and that was it. they really didn't make much music. she brought most of her songs already written to him. together they only did the 3 singles, SMB and Rich Boi which never leaked. there are some tracks from that period that we still don't know about.

-TLDR, basically all of his artists were shelved and couldn't release albums because they weren't seeing any success and the company was shady. and RedOne and PB hated each other. she is fierce but a republican POS, and he is a slimy shady businessman.

Boy, I know industry is unfair to many, but some people really had it coming to them. With so many hits to his name, RedOne could be a top producer rn if it wans't for his choices. Porcelain Black also could've found her audience, but she never seemed to work hard enough for it.

RedOne's brain is completely frazzled (and I won't speculate why), and he's made some crazy choices and also disappointed a lot of people. He seems to be doing okay overseeing the FIFA albums, he does the International songs whilst another infamous producer does the Western ones. But if he had his **** together, he could have stayed in the mainstream culture.

i got Space Cowboy mixed up with RedOne

Very informative, thank you!

I knew she was often seen as problematic, but I knew there had to be more to it than it just being her fault. Mannequin Factory was great, Swallow My Bullet was OK. TIWRNRLL is how I learned of her in the first place. Her earlier stuff was pretty great too, it's a shame their partnership (however brief) wasn't so fortuitous.
