It should come to no surprise that Max Martin is the most prolific pop songwriter of today having penned hits for Britney Spears, Katy Perry, & Taylor Swift. Some claim that he is behind the whole modern pop sound.

He’s since topped the charts with 18 signature songs performed by N’Sync, P!nk, Kelly Clarkson, Maroon 5, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift. Max Martin has the third most No. 1 singles, trailing behind Paul McCartney, with 32, and John Lennon, with 26.

15 year old Sophie Rose who comes from Los Angeles has released a new song ‘Attention‘ on SoundCloud which is the perfect dose of ‘dark’ indie pop. The track is the theme song for the new AwesomenessTV original series “Guidance”. Her background is compelling as she is a singer-songwriter as well as producer signed to a publishing joint venture between Ester Dean and Dr. Luke’s Prescription Songs.  Having written hundreds of songs, I won’t surprised if one of those tracks takes off.

The track has already garnered 8,000+ SoundCloud streams.
