Tricky Stewart—Grammy-winning producer, songwriter, and RedZone architect—joins Tank & J. Valentine to unpack how era-defining records get built. From the first chord choice to the final vocal comp, Tricky breaks down the decisions behind smashes like Rihanna’s “Umbrella,” Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies,” Mariah Carey’s “Touch My Body,” Justin Bieber’s “Baby,” and more. We talk chemistry with The-Dream, building the right room, protecting an artist’s identity, and why drums, melody, and story matter most.
