Watt stopped by PopShopPodcast to talk Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus and more!
It's one of my favorite moments ever. I'll never forget driving down Sunset Boulevard [in Los Angeles]. And KIIS-FM comes on in L.A., and they're playing f---in'"Take What You Want." And there's a tapping guitar solo. I'm like passing the Whisky [a Go Go]. And I'm like,"There's a f---in' tapping guitar solo on pop radio, eat sh--!" [] It was so funny to me, and great, and awesome. Again, that's Posty being like,"Do a guitar solo.
When we were doing [“Midnight Sky”], and the song has its obvious nod to"Edge of Seventeen," Miley reached out to Stevie -- being, you know, she's so respectful of art and creators and of [the] lineage of music. [She] reached out to her to show her the song and be like,"Hey, you know, this has a little nod to you, I hope this is cool." And Stevie, in Stevie fashion, which now I know because I got to talk to her a little bit, was so receptive and so cool.
And then, you know, we were working on it, and talking to her, kinda over the phone. 'Cause it was in COVID. And her assistant actually recorded her vocals in her apartment and we were kinda sending 'em back and forth and doing notes together. And she stays up real late. Real late. So, you know, I would get this call from an unknown number after she would hear the next bounce.
And then I got to get the multitracks and f---in' listen to them in the studio. And listen to those drums by themselves. And listen to that amazing Waddy Wachtel guitar by itself. And sit with it. It was what inspired me to make the other song. It was just really kinda surreal and amazing. And those kinds of things, you know, you just do for the love of music.
Also on the show, Katie and Keith chat about big chart news from Olivia Rodrigo on the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 charts, along with BTS snaring their fourth No. 1 on the Hot 100 with"Butter."
