In this episode, we speak with songwriter Sean Hosein, whose credits appear on two standout tracks from Talk on Corners: “Queen of Hollywood” and “Love Gives, Love Takes.”
Sean shares the remarkable and surprising story of how these songs first came to be. From writing sessions in L.A. with Glen Ballard and Elliott Wolff to a connection through David Foster’s sister, Sean explains how demos written years earlier ended up becoming key tracks on The Corrs’ multi-platinum album—without him ever meeting the band.
We also hear about Sean’s early journey into songwriting, the grind of breaking into the publishing world, and the creative process behind co-writing with heavyweights like Steve Kipner. He gives behind-the-scenes detail on the writing and demo sessions, including how “Queen of Hollywood” was originally built around a much heavier, guitar-driven track, and how “Love Gives, Love Takes” came together in a day at a North Hollywood studio.
Packed with great anecdotes, industry insight, and a behind-the-scenes look at the global rise of Talk on Corners.
