Dr. Luke Interview -

The big draw of Thursday's Hollywood Reporter/Billboard Film & TV Music Conference was undeniably producer Dr. Luke, who not only packed the afternoon Q&A session moderated by ASCAP's Randy Grimmett, but got bombarded by throngs of his own fans not a moment after the talk ended. It's a good thing he's spent so much time around megastars like Katy Perry, Ke$ha and Avril Lavigne because he handled the unruly bunch with aplomb, but coming up next is perhaps his most stressful gig yet: as co-executive producer on Britney Spears' forthcoming seventh studio album. Luke's partner? Swedish hitmaker Max Martin, who's been both a mentor and collaborator and has worked with Spears on and off since her 1999 Jive Records debut, ...Baby One More Time. Dr. Luke contributed several tracks to 2008's Circus.

A dream team, no doubt, but with Sony Music seeing a 10 percent drop in sales last quarter, and that's including Usher's platinum-plus Raymond v. Raymond under the LaFace banner, the pressure is most certainly on. "She's such an icon, I don't want to let anyone down," Dr. Luke told THR. "But most importantly, I want to make good music." The LA-based Luke, who's just coming off a repackage of Ke$ha's Animal, says he's just starting to wrap his head around the Britney album now. He anticipates it will be out in early 2011, while an insider tells THR, it will definitely hit stores before March 31, the end of Sony's fiscal year. A Jive Records rep would not comment on a release date or confirm a timeline. Other producer-songwriters said to be working on it include Darkchild and, according to Luke, Montreal newcomer Billboard (listen to a remix Billboard did of Britney's 2009 track "3" at his Myspace page): http://www.myspace.com/billboardprod

THR: What other songwriter-producers are exciting you these days?

DL: I really love Stuart Price, he's a great producer and beat maker. Bangladesh, I think he's an amazing producer. Listen to Amelie, Kelis, Luda, that Mario song, "Breakup..." They all have a a unique point of vew. I also really like Swiss Beatz. I think he's just great. I love Benny Blanco, I think he's just one of the greatest producers. I got this guy Billboard, he's going to be doing a bunch of stuff on the new Britney [Spears album] and Kojak... all the producers I've signed, I love, otherwise I wouldn't sign them.

THR: Anything else you can tell us about the Britney record?

DL: Just that I'm excited to be co-executive producing with Max Martin, the person who kind of invented Britney, and to make good music. And she's such an amazing vehicle to getting that music out to a lot of people in every country.

If I'm being honest, I was slightly disappointed to hear they would be executive-producing the new album. There music is very generic and very same-y to everything we hear atm, but I do like their music. And also, because they are the executive producers, that means the songs on the album won't be produced by them, I hope most of the stuff on the album is produced by William Orbit, Tiesto, Fernando Garibay and Bloodshy & Avant.

Yes

And Sean Garrett and Corte Ellis, who both had production on Blackout!

In the Zone is my favourite Britney album, so I always love her working with Bloodshy and Avant, and I am desperate for her to work with Moby and The Matrix again. I hope that album #7 will overtake In the Zone in my favourites.

And I'm so happy she's working with William Orbit, I've been waiting for years for that! And I really hope she works with Guy Sigsworth again, they always work so well together.

Seeing Danja on that list makes me excited

ITZ and Circus are my least favourites.

I have a really good feeling about this album, I know it'll be much better than Circus. Anyway, can't wait for it!!!

she needs all that help too.

Seriously, any girl snatched off the street could have a hit with all the help she gets.

You have a point, and yes she's get a lot of help. In fact, most of her records are created by other people and she just puts her vocals over them and she co-writes a few. I think with the new album she is taking more of a control aspect though.

Regardless, she does and always has created amazing pop music!!

But she doesnt create it. Never ever had the feeling that she did create it. Just turns up at the studio and does as she's told. Then they take her(probably awful) vocal tracks and mix the crap out of them until she doesnt even sound human. TBF they do stick to a consistent sound..helium chipmunk.

She has done a good job of selling and performing the music though. Leaving aside her mad years.

She's kind of a huge icon already.

She co-writes a few. She co-wrote half of the 'In the Zone' album, co-write a quater of the 'Blackout' album and a few songs on 'Circus'.

Yep, she's an icon and well on her way to being a legend, if not she already is.
