The melody of Send My Love Max still has it + his versatility. Luke is a hopeless case. But since Max knows who's hot and who's not she should avoid both to minimise the risk of sabotage.
Luke just hasn't been working with any big artists recently, that's why he hasn't had much success. Just look what happened when he got Adam Levine to sing the hook on one of his songs, it became a smash. He still has it
Max is an obvious choice when you're young like Taylor or the biggest star on the planet like Adele. Once you start declining like Katy it's better to pay him dust since he knows where the money's at and you end up with Focus/Your Body
Katy should get Luke his minions Cirkut and Billboard to work on the album, both are better than him. And we all know he will stamp his name on their production anyways.

Exactly. With Luke, Katy is the most successful artist he works with and his biggest money-maker so we can at least be sure he'll only give Katy his absolute best tracks. Then the rest is up to Bonnie Katy and her co-writers
Luke's minions are useless. There's a reason nobody works with him anymore while everyone has at least one song by Max's Wolf Cousins camp. Plus Locked Aways was so basic. Luke is done.
Your Body didn't flop because of Luke, it flopped because of Legend X. Had Katy sung it, it would've been a nice top 10 at the least
Quote:
Rolling Stone: You can measure a singer's place in the pop-star pecking order by the quality of the Max Martin/Shellback song she releases. For Xtina, the news ain't good. "Your Body" is a sluggish and nearly hookless hookup anthem, apparently dredged from that part of the Stockholm harbor where the Swedish hitmakers toss their D-list material.
It's like everybody forgot Focus and all that half cooked mess he's been serving for the past 2 years.
Right?
Anyway she needs to work with Dev Hynes. His work is good, and I would love to see what Katy can do with him by bringing some more traditional pop songwriting to the table.
Shellback + Max are a def. Luke is good too for a few, let's not act like LL and DH aren't masterpieces.
