Inside Electric Lady Studios with Jack Antonoff | Apple Music

[@bensonsj98]

Jack is one of those music makers that I’d love to just sit and silently observe him practicing his craft. He’s so fascinating to me.

[@KYLETISZAI]

I really want to work with him. I think he would turn me into the next Taylor Swift. How do I get in a room w him??

[@ShloimyZaltzman]

@@KYLETISZAI Catch his attention. be so talented that he can't not want to meet you:)

[@lizgloriamcdonough1306]

I was just thinking the same thing

[@Pulse2AM]

@@KYLETISZAI You don't need to work with him there are plenty of guys and girls with production skills. The thing about the music business is you need to have a hook not just great songs but a full package especially if you want to compete in the Pop genre. Craft songs and an Identity that people want to be a part of, stand out from the crowded field, be authentic, be you, be proud of who you are, make TikToks, KZbin Shorts etc. Taylor Swift had financial backing from her father to start her career, she has a very likeable presence, she's attractive, she writes good songs, she found a niche her fans are mainly females. She's a rairity an exception to the field of Pop music, that said you can be successful in your own right, not many achieve her status. Good luck!

[@jimcasso407]

Yup! Jack Antonoff is exactly the person I was hoping he was. Authentic, honest, grounded, insightful, intelligent, emotional, aware, highly artistic, and just plain real. No wonder his music and productions speak to me. Awesome interview!

[@nicoleshaw7542]

There's something magical about witnessing someone like Jack speak so passionately about his work and craft. As a Bleachers fan since 2014 it doesn't get much better than this

[@yoel6604]

i wanna know how his brain stays in his body..

[@josepha133]

I think the sonic reminiscence of Bruce Springsteen is one of the reasons why I love Bleachers so much, it takes me right back to my dad putting on Springsteen's records during my childhood.

[@nick_stabile]

Jack is like someone I grew up with who got famous that I've never met. Pride in the Jersey punk scene, pizza, bagels, and music. I wish I had the courage to rep Jersey the way he does.

[@polymathematics_]

Completely blown away with this talk. Was a casual fan of Jack’s work but this definitely felt like a true glimpse of who he is. Super sharp, creative, and open conversation. Thanks for sharing!

[@morgan6835]

Jack is a musical prodigy. We are so lucky to have his artistry. 💞

[@kenziebrenna6220]

"what is the music scene in the age where everything is discoverable?" omg jack nailedddd this.

[@evanhearsey]

I clicked the video and straight way went “you went to a party, I heard from everybody”

[@OfficialDarkSoulMusic]

I love this guy. He's one of a kind and has such a wholesome soul.

[@jgwmain]

He is truly inspiring. Someday I’d love to meet him, collaborate with him, talk about music, talk about life, and really pick his brain.

[@SuperMustache555]

Jack mentions that he prefers to create music in a home environment, rather than a studio environment because he likes to envision where people might listen to his final product. I love that attention to detail! (13:00)

[@mikulasroubicek4642]

sure, his studio looks very comfy, but, regardless of "home environment", let's not forget the fact there's equipment worth hundreds of thousand of dollars (likely more), not to mention the room is purpose built and acoustically treated, as is the live room, obviously. the point is that it doesn't feel sterile like some studios may, but it's still a top tier professional facility. which is one of the reasons his stuff comes out as great as it does. he doesn't record on a Scarlett in damp basement somewhere.

[@ccwaggoner]

These interviews are invaluable. Thank you for doing this, Zane.

[@erindelge5055]

Zane is a gift❤️

[@christinebreit4784]

this was the absolute best interview I have seen in a very long time. Have been obsessing over Jack Antonoff and The Bleachers, and this was just so so satisfying. Thank you, Zane Lowe and Jack Antonoff. Love that he has made me more proud of my NJ roots.

[@samkcatladyaks]

Gosh, I’ve been waiting for this! I want to be that man. He’s a musical genius. He’s behind so much of my favorite music. Chances are if I like a song a lot, I look it up and he’s had a part in it. To hear sounds and turn them into the things he does is amazing. His job is my dream. I wanted a long form video that showed parts of his process. Thank you Zane, Jack, & Apple Music.

[@leleite1]

I was born and raised in a small town. Been in NYC for the first time when I was 16 and felt so big and so liberating, like you could be whoever you want, no one cared about what you doing. Everyday I pretend to be there. No judgement, just be.

[@DaleNorth]

The bit at 16:53 about getting your best in before being 'poisoned by the day' was super relatable

[@caryntonh1037]

It’s insane that all of these artists I loved growing up are now frequent collaborators

[@FlatThumb]

I don't know Jack or his music, but I love his oddball unique energy. I have the pleasure to check out all of his work now for the first time - any "must listen" tracks?

[@BeatsBangcomtv]

I had never heard of this guy, but I enjoyed this conversation. I think I’ll go see what the music is about.

[@cassiecloud4281]

Fascinating interview listening to him talk about his craft!

[@emI-mu2hi]

comparing new jersey to europe as a whole is WILD bless this man ty for the interview x

[@SuperMustache555]

36:00 His explanation of the lost eye contact at the party is so interesting! I would have never thought to connect that with an artist and their audience

[@emilyb9746]

Fantastic interview. His storytelling and the way he describes his creative process is captivating.

[@sarafreitas6988]

Weird that Jack Antonoff and I have the same perspective on the work day, considering I work an office job. Thank you for teh interview. :)

[@morgan6835]

When Jack talked about chasing something that seems to disappear once you find it, i felt that.

[@stevenovoa]

not even two minutes in, this is incredible

[@Loranamusic]

Just so grateful to be alive in the same time as this man

[@alfredogarcia4887]

[@erindelge5055]

Sorry Jack, going to share this everywhere and make everyone watch it. Such a fantastic piece about an incredible artist, person, and friend. I’m about to watch it again 👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️So inspiring and awe inducing!

[@rdmkeytohwy]

This interview was very insightful and inspiring. And what a wonderful creative space to work in. The comparison of New York and NewJersey is very interesting, too. Similar in some ways, very different in others. I have never been in either place and want to experience that now. Creators and writers always inspire me to create and write. It is cool how that happens. Thank you Zane for another stellar interview. You are ALWAYS prepared and ask the most interesting questions. Even if you stray from the topic a bit it is always relevant to the conversation as a whole. That is also an art that few do as well as you. Thanks man!!!!!

[@kurtisa.murray2711]

I discovered Jack when watching The Format: Live at the Mayan Theater DVD, where he had a brief interview about helping out for the show, where he said The Format was great because its "weird circus music". He was in Steel Strain at that moment. Then later when fun. absolutely blew up, it was like seeing a struggling local music friend (who I never met) finally get their break after being on of the most loved musicians of other musicians for 20 years. I never really got into Bleachers but still love fun. and The Format... Hadn't realized Jack had become this staple of production for a bunch of massively famous artists until recent videos. I just love knowing someone actually got through all the BS of this career choice and made it out the other side.

[@murphiecation]

Thank you Apple Music. This is the most amazing one for me yet. Thank you!!

[@clarissa.agbortoko]

lol bleachers has literally gotten me through the greatest milestones of my young adulthood since 2015...I might not get all the inside jokes but dude, there isn't a single song that hasn't at some point come back and beautifully haunted me. My friends (and spotify) literally think I'm insane for only listening to Bleachers exclusively between 2016-2019, and now clinging once again to the self titled album... and watching this interview how can you blame me?!?!? Thank u Jack :')

[@samkcatladyaks]

I’m begging for you to work with Chappell Roan. You and her with her voice and her 80s and your 80s sound would be earth shattering. She works with Dan Nigro rn and I love their work but I am so curious to hear what you and her would make.

[@devinbelangermusic]

Amazing interview! Jack is one of my biggest musical inspirations.

[@SuperMustache555]

26:10 Jack talks about his progression and moving goal posts, so inspiring!

[@Pulse2AM]

Great interview thanks to both of you! I think there is craft and then there is art, knowing a 5 chord wants to go to the 1 chord is craft but going to another chord and it works is the artistic choice you can make. When things fail it's nice to be able to go to craft and try and salvage something when art calls and it's special get out the way and let happen.

[@MaxParkerMusic]

A new Jack Antonoff interview. On Apple ? Yes please

[@Bgoods]

Jack has a complex understanding of so many aspects of music, creation and the audience.

[@GloveBunniesVideos]

What an incredible interview.

[@planetmullins]

I am really surprised this video doesn't have more views. Great studio tour and wise words about the biz.

[@MARIABELEMCANOABASOLO]

there's something so magical about witnessing jack create music with real heart and its just so crazy how some people hate his craft, music and productions. its because they don't understand it, and he doesn't care. they are missing real magic.

[@lisagirouard5833]

Fascinating interview. His creative process is so interesting.

[@EricNentrupTheRed]

If any energetic good hearted person would be so eager for a good challenge, I would LOVE a playlist of every song or album mention in this amazing conversation. Bonus points if I get a response from some sweet new Cupertino GenAI, right, Apple? We callin' it "Infinite Loop". Or "NewtonLLM" Or "Bondi"? Anyhow...would love that playlist. Thanks Jack and Zane! Well done!

Love it. Thank you!

[@SuperMustache555]

30:20 Jack explaining why he left Fun., because he felt like it was a side project and not representative of who he truly was, is a great thing for artists to keep in mind. Continue to express yourself even when you find success elsewhere!

[@ChrstnSmrvllMsc]

Possibly the best ending to an interview ever(?) lol

[@yamilletrivas8041]

Ok so I absolutely love him as an artist... but his discussion about Shivah (sp) and trauma, etc etc... it was something so unexpected. This is where I am like oh wow I would love to hear more about what he has to say as a human - not as an artist only. He has said so much here that reminded me about my grief when my momma died. (Taking a pause and breathing to process his words)

[@Babygirl97always]

He’s such a genius.

[@testikayttaja6599]

He produced 1975’s latest album, which is an undeniable masterpiece. I wonder whether he has distanced himself from 1975 because of the Taylor Swift drama with Matty Healy

[@whyisntitpossible404]

I don't know whether it's an undeniable masterpiece, to be honest. Is it even their best work?

[@PratyushaMishra]

Not due to Taylor drama! Due to Matty’s videos being resurfaced of his problematic stuff!

He have the same “frequency/speed of thinking” of Taylor… I understood him about those weird mark days where in a moment the mind give weird conjectural snap shots of different things many times not relatable, sometimes weirdly together… For seeing Taylor so many times there, I though she had a studio at her home 😂✌️ It’s just the building of Jack that he transformed in a Homie vibe Style Studio… Cool 😎 Billie and Finneas feel the same creative necessity of feeling “at home” or needing the home vibe on their creations… I get it… and make sense…

[@ilyme438]

[@BryTunesMusic]

[@W4TSKY]

36:04 Matty Healy said the EXACT same thing and described it the exact same way when discussing how an audience may feel when their favorite band/artist actively tries to be bigger at the expense of leaving their older/dedicated fans behind
