Super producer Jack Antonov had a large hand in producing
Taylor Swift' latest masterpiece, The Torture Poet's Department, which is
smashing streaming records. It's one of the many massive projects
he's partnered with Taylor on, and he's also recently become
the only producer outside of Babyface to three Peep as
the Grammy's Producer of the Year. So to say he's
in demand would be the understatement of the year. So

(00:23):
how does he decide what to produce? He tells NMA
if it's something that sounds interesting, I try to meet
people to see if I can imagine doing things with them.
But the ability to make something with someone is so
delicate that you could like someone and love their work,
but it might not work. You have to try to
be very honest when it happens and when it doesn't.
I tend to follow the things where I feel a
lot of inspiration and excitement. It's a gut feeling, but

(00:45):
it can be a bit awkward if it's not there,
because you can't really fake it. That's Jack Antonof on
how he picks what to produce. The new Fourth Self
titled album by his own bam Bleachers is out now.
