Songwriter/Producer Marti Frederiksen Talks About New AEROSMITH Album - "I Never Try And Steer Them Towards Anything They Don't Want To Do"
August 28, 2012, 12 years ago
AEROSMITH songwriter-for-hire/producer Marti Frederiksen spoke with Greg Prato from Rolling Stone recently about the band's new album, Music From Another Dimension!
Frederiksen earned a producer credit on three of the album's songs, next to other tracks helmed by Jack Douglas, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry. "I think the ones that Jack produced are more 'band guy' songs.' I worked on a couple of other songs I didn't produce on the record, and one is a real rocker that came out of the same time as 'What Could Have Been Love' – (new single) 'Lover Alot.' I co-wrote that with the guys. A whole different beast, man – just rockin', loose and uptempo. That's the great thing about songwriting and being able to work with a band like this – you can do something old-school rock and then do a beautiful ballad. The good thing about all these songs is nothing is over-produced."
