...take revenge. Now Tom suddenly seems the callous one for dumping a pregnant woman...Strangely, I find myself listening to Ace of Base a lot these days. I guess senioritis extends to personal taste as well. But where should I draw the line? Suppose I start craving Celine Dion ballads, John Grisham novels, or-gasp-Gwyneth movies? Ack! S.O.S! Save Our Soman...
...skyrocketed in a remarkably short time. A Hong Kong-California hybrid, CoCo got her big break in Taiwan with a karaoke hit in 1994, which she quickly parlayed into mass fame on the Chinese mainland. Disney hired her to do the Chinese voice-over for the movie Mulan (Celine Dion's big break, remember, was voicing Beauty and the Beast). Later one of her songs was chosen for the soundtrack to The Runaway Bride, the Julia Roberts-Richard Gere romance flick. CoCo's current goal is nothing less than to demolish the pop-music divide between East and West...
...There may be more big names in Martin's future. He's talking with Faith Hill, the country-pop crossover megastar and Grammy queen, about her next album. He may have a studio reunion with Celine Dion when she returns from maternity leave next year. They worked together on 1999's That's the Way It Is. Martin calls her vocals on that track the musical equivalent of "a sprinter running the 100 m in three seconds." And atop his dream list of artists to work with are Madonna, who's "just great," and Prince...
Thanks to his chart success with Britney Spears, Celine Dion, the Backstreet Boys, 'N Sync and other acts, Swedish songwriter Max Martin has been called a one-man hit factory. The reclusive Stockholm-based Martin, though, has managed to cling to relative anonymity even as the artists he works with and the hits he writes have been catapulted into the spotlight. He avoids attention, most press coverage and even awards ceremonies. Shortly after Martin closed his longtime studio, Cheiron, and opened a new one, TIME's Jeff Chu sat down with him to talk about his erstwhile rock-star dreams...
...what he did that night in the studio. I actually had to walk off - it was me and Denniz sitting there doing the recording. When [Jackson] started singing, I just lost it. I had to walk out for a while. I just left him singing. That was weird. Celine Dion was also amazing ... She did the vocals [for 'That's the Way It Is'] in 2 1/2 hours. Just like that. She's tiny! She's very thin! And her output is so loud! It's like if you were watching a sprinter running the 100 m in 3 seconds...
