Like I've said any time this comes up, there's a wide range of reasons to give someone songwriting credits nowadays. If it turns out that they let other people literally write songs for them again, I'll be bummed and critical of that. If they just had producers/engineers/music biz people around in the studio helping facilitate and brainstorm and gave out songwriting credits because that's what you do in the modern world, I don't care at all. I saw that Aaron Rubin got some credits for example, he's Tom's in-house engineer I can't imagine he literally wrote parts for them to use.

Knapppers Posted September 19, 2023 Posted September 19, 2023 What level are you at now @Ghent Lvl 9 knowing your fav producer Aaron Rubin is involved in a lot of the songs 1 1

boxelder Posted September 19, 2023 Posted September 19, 2023 wow, that's shocking if they've collaborated again with robert smith, but i feel like it's most likely some sort of lyric reuse -- mark might drop a line from just like heaven or friday i'm in love. that type of stuff earns an immediate songwriting credit today, however small. not surprising to see some of those collaborators back, including brian lee and nick long. shocked aaron rubin has so many songwriting credits, i thought he was more of an engineer (unless he wrote tom's lyrics for him while they recorded at home?) 1 1
Knapppers Posted September 19, 2023 Posted September 19, 2023 Gonna say it now, if this album is amazing then maybe Blink needs songwriters cause I see Edging has none and it's not the best. 1

Sun God Posted September 19, 2023 Posted September 19, 2023 I guess the boys just don’t know how to write their own songs anymore. I don’t know how many more “it is what it is” scenarios I can take anymore lol 1 1

thecurseofchris Posted September 19, 2023 Posted September 19, 2023 I already blocked off a 30-minute slot of "Focus Time" on my work calendar for Thursday morning. Even if ends up being a mid-tier song in the end, I'm just excited for something new. 4 1

Ghent Posted September 19, 2023 Posted September 19, 2023 But I thought blink only used songwriters on California and Nine because Skiba sucks and they didn't have Tom to carry them? 5 2 1
Champ182 Posted September 19, 2023 Author Posted September 19, 2023 14 minutes ago, DiTTy said: Ok, but how do we know which one it is? I don’t buy into this whole narrative that anyone who sits in a room with them is just getting handed free songwriting credits. Lol songwriting credits are basically the money makers now aside from touring/merchandise, and they’re not going to just hand those out like candy. If someone has a songwriting credit, you can bet they contributed a great amount to that song We won't know which one it is unless they specifically talk about it, like they did with the NonTom albums. And it's been talked about quite a bit that artists/labels give out WAY more songwriting credits than before, precisely because it's one of the only money-makers in the music industry anymore. If somebody is in the room to help bounce ideas around, and they say "what if the melody goes up instead of down?" they could earn a songwriting credit. In contrast, they openly talked about how Feldy and others brought songs/ideas to them to use. Maybe they're still doing that, but a songwriting credit isn't a guarantee of it. 1

Ghent Posted September 19, 2023 Posted September 19, 2023 Lol there's no way the band members aren't the primary contributors, that's why I've never given a shit about songwriters. Why wouldn't you ask for advice and guidance and ideas? 6 1
