Jack Antonoff, the superproducer who has collaborated with stars like Taylor Swift, Lorde and Lana Del Rey, offers a new record from his own indie project that reveals his joyous passion for music
On Spotify there’s a user-created playlist called “The Great Jack Antonoff Collection,” which gathers songs the 37-year-old songwriter-musician—best known for his work with Taylor Swift, Lorde and Lana Del Rey—has produced or co-produced. Its 190 tracks include many by very big names, including Sia, the Chicks and Pink, in addition to the aforementioned stars.
Also on the playlist are artists a tier below that echelon: those who will never be ubiquitous pop icons but who have cult audiences and critical respect—shape-shifting singer-songwriter St. Vincent, indie-pop phenom Clairo, rapper Kevin Abstract of the popular collective Brockhampton. And then there are songs by Mr. Antonoff’s own indie rock-leaning project Bleachers, including a few advance singles from the group’s new album, “Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night” , out Friday. Mr.
Before his time in studios with pop superstars, Mr. Antonoff was a journeyman. Born and raised in Bergenfield, N.J., he had modest success with the jangly folk-rock outfit Steel Train and joined the Queen-like prog-pop band Fun late in the 2000s. The group had a surprise No. 1 hit with “We Are Young” in 2012 and went on hiatus three years later, just as Mr. Antonoff’s songwriting career was taking flight.
Almost all of his high-profile collaborations have been with women, though Mr. Antonoff doesn’t have a ready answer for why, other than saying that he imagines women’s voices when developing ideas. “When I’m writing I don’t think about Lou Reed or Bowie. I think about Kate Bush, Björk, Fiona Apple,” he told the Guardian in a 2017 interview. And when he sits down to write with others, he encourages them to dig deep for emotionally revealing material.
