Korn’s Davis ready to stretch with Britney’s old producer?
Curiosity has been running high in Korn Nation about the nature of singer Jonathan Davis’ solo album, but here’s a twist that fans of the L.A.-based metal monolith might not have anticipated: Davis will do some tryout work in the studio with English producer Guy Sigsworth, who’s made his name working with artists of a distinctly different temperament and gender — notably Björk, Imogen Heap (he was her bandmate in the group Frou Frou), Britney Spears and, most recently, Alanis Morissette.
Davis’ reps say nothing is confirmed, but Sigsworth says Davis called and proposed a session in L.A. “It felt so right because it was so completely, utterly unlike everything else I’ve worked on,” says the producer, who stresses that it’s strictly an exploratory get-together that might or might not click.
Did Davis give any clues about his musical goals?
“He was saying to me that he wanted to sort of crash together the madder bits of Frank Zappa with the madder bits of Peter Gabriel. And I thought, ‘OK, that’s a good starting place, let’s see what happens.’ It has to be worth a shot, doesn’t it? I’d love it if it pans out.”
When Sigsworth comes to L.A. to brainstorm with Davis this month, he’ll also spend time in the studio with Spears. He’s produced three songs for her, including the 2004 hit “Everytime.”
“It’s weird to think I’m doing him and Britney at the same time,” he says. “I don’t know if I’ll try to persuade them to do a duet together. That might be pushing it too far.”
Please, Guy, push it. That’s something the world needs to hear.
