Jack Antonoff on Lana Del Rey’s ‘Beautiful Darkness,’ and How Taylor Swift ‘Validated’ Him as a Producer
In this (very) expanded version of Jack Antonoff's Hitmakers producer of the decade interview, he talks Lana Del Rey, Taylor Swift and much more.
It may come as no surprise that Jack Antonoff — polymath collaborator with Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, Lorde and most recently Kendrick Lamar — thinks of his brain as a hard drive. He also co-produced Lamar’s latest album, “GNX,” and, in a first, did the music for Sam Gold’s raucous Broadway adaptation of “Romeo and Juliet,” including the Rachel Zegler-sung single, “Man of the House.” In conversation, Antonoff is rather famously prone to digressions, many of them fascinating: An idea will spark, mid-sentence, and he’s off to the races, drawing all kinds of real-life parallels and analogies, leaving the original topic of the first half of the sentence in the rear-view mirror; similarly, sometimes a casual comment will bring forth an unexpected anecdote about Bruce Springsteen (which is why some of the more-conversational questions have been left in).
