Celeb News: BURNS: "Working w/ Britney was simple. She's down to earth"

Stitches.

DJ Burns spell some tea about "Make me..." and working with Britney Spears for iheartradio.

Quote:

What was it like specifically working with Britney in the studio?
It was amazing. It was daunting for me to begin with because she's such a legend and she's kind of a weird entity. She has this crazy insane fan base and she's been doing it for so long. When I got in there, she's just the most normal, down to earth person. It was kind of really easy. It was like you get to know someone over an hour and then it's just like you're buddies working in the studio. It was really simple. I was pleasantly surprised by her because she is such a huge star. Sometimes you think there's going to be some type of ego or whatever, but she was just so cool and it just made the whole experience. She's such a nice person, as well.

Quote:

You had produced the music prior to visiting her. When did the lyrics come about?
I'd actually made the beat in a friend of mine's kitchen, which is really weird. I was staying with a friend in L.A. I was in between L.A. and London at the time and I made the beat. I had a guitar and I was just on his kitchen counter. (Laughs) I recorded the guitar part there, plugged it into the laptop, which is really funny because it wasn't made in a studio. I finished it there and it was a few months passed that I had the beat. It had gotten into Joe Janiak’s hands, who's a writer from the U.K., who I'd never met before, either. He wasn't really writing for anyone in particular. He picked this beat. He said after the fact that the beat stood out to the him in the folder that he was given. He wrote this topline but it had no lyrics. It was just him doing melodies. It was just him doing gibberish over the beat, but the melody for making was all there. He had a really solid melody and he sent it back to me and I was like, "This is cool and this could be awesome." I think Britney's team heard the song without lyrics to begin with and they already decided that they loved it. It didn't even have lyrics. They were just like, "We need lyrics on this if we really want to use it." So me and Joe had to come up with the lyrics. I got back in touch with him. I was in L.A. He was in London and we just did like loads of stuff over e-mail. He took the verse lyrics, and the chorus came together pretty quick, and that was how that formed.

Quote:

And now, you also have G-Eazy, who fills the bridge of this song. Was that your intent or Britney's intent to get a feature on the track?

I think it was her [idea]. That came later. Originally, there was no feature. I made a bridge and Britney was singing. There's actually a non-rap version. I think it's out. I have a feeling that you can listen to it. I don't know if it's been released to buy, but it's on the Internet. I know that part.

So according to this, she wrote nothing for the song? Then why does she have lead writing credits? Sigh.

Perhaps he's saying about the original version which him and Joe wrote by themselves and maybe later when she got the song written she helped to change some parts after?

JCON

Didn't the solo version leak right after the Make Me video?

Phunk

Oh, so that solo version w/o the rap bridge is the actual verse? That's weird since there's no actual 'bridge' of sorts but has new vocals so makes sense.

At least he wasn't like Will.i.Am: "she comes in records 6 songs in an hour and leaves,she is such a pro,we are working on some magic here" BJ ends up with another lead singer.

Umm she could've changed some parts,a verse or something you know. Most songs are completely diff when they come to artists as demos you know. Or she might have bought her writing credids just like some of her fellow (exposed) artists. But for niw she is listed as one og the writers,so lets just stuck with that. <3

That's not what's he said at all.

He had the instrumental. Team Britney already had lyrics in mind. They sent the song back and told him they need lyrics if they're going to use it. So he started working on some. Then when they were in the studio together they crafted what became the final product.

Reading comprehension is a fundamental skill.

That's the radio edit but it's not the original from what people have gathered from recent interviews. The version that was played for execs before G-Eazy came on had a different bridge apparently.

I have never heard any writers/producers talk bad about Britney at all. Queen is so humble and down to earth
