Iconic Producer Quincy Jones Slams Taylor Swift’s Songwriting Skills
Quincy Jones may have just created some bad blood with Taylor Swift.
During an interview with GQ, the legendary producer — who has worked with artists like Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson and Tupac — apparently made a face “somewhere between disapproval and disdain” when the reporter asked about Swift’s recent music.
The GQ interviewer tried to explain that many people around the world consider the 28-year-old “the greatest songwriter of our age,” but Jones still wasn’t buying it and literally.
His response: “Whatever crumbles your cookie.”
“But they don’t know, man,” Jones said when the reporter pressed about her reputation as an amazing songwriter. “They don’t know. I’ve come and gone through seven decades of this shit. Seen all that. Seen how that works. Ignorance is no thing.”
“Man, the song is the shit — that’s what people don’t realize,” he added in his vague takedown of Swift. “A great song can make the worst singer in the world a star. A bad song can’t be saved by three best singers in the world. I learned that 50 years ago.”
The film has its world premiere on Friday 17 May at Cinéma Olympia
CANNES – ‘THE RACE OF LOVE’ arrives at the Marché du Film of the Cannes Film Festival. The film, a romance, is produced by Enrico Pinocci and directed by Alfio D’Agata, with an international cast: Ciara Hanna ( ‘Stars Fell On Alabama’, ‘Stars Fell Again’, ‘Power Rangers Megaforce’), Thomas Gipson (‘Love’s Fast Lane’, ‘Burning Little Lies’), Blanca Blanco (‘Eye for Eye’, ‘Betrayed’), Letizia Pinocci (‘Mission Possible’, ‘6 Children & 1 Grandfather’) and Harmony McElligott (‘You Can Do Better’,’ Life Whack’).
The protagonists of the film are James, who’s single by choice, and Judy, whose work makes her relationships difficult and complicated. After a series of coincidences that bring them together, and more than a few twists and turns, their hearts start to open to each other.
The film has its world premiere on Friday at 6pm at the Olympia 2 cinema in Cannes.
It was shot in Los Angeles and around the evocative racetracks of Vallelunga (the main location), Misano, Rio and Monte Carlo.
Thomas Gipson, Blanca Blanco, Letizia Pinocci, Vincenzo Bocciarelli and Romano Pigliacelli will be at the screening.
