mtv.com is reporting that OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder is writing a new song for Katy Perry’s next project. Ryan and his band may have a new hit “All The Right Move” climbing the chart, but his side job as an in-demand songwriter for some of the biggest acts in the business is exploding as well.
Ryan has been putting his other endeavors on hold and that means Katy has been waiting a while for his new “Rolller-Rink Skating party” song for her new project. But, time is starting to run out and she can’t holdon for much longer. Ryan went on to tell MTV News…
She and I have actually been trading text messages for, like, the last five months about this album, trying to lock our schedules in. And she was going to come to Denver for, like, two weeks, but because of our schedule I had to cancel on her, unfortunately. And it was, like, the last available time I had to work with her. … I have three songs that I think are dead-on, incredible songs for her that are just started, they’re ideas that I want to finish with her. So, literally, in the next three days, I travel with a microphone and studio stuff, so I’m going to be trading e-mails with her and hopefully get one of them on the album at the last minute.
he continued….
I’m literally the last guy to come onboard, and I was one of the first people she talked to [about working on the album]. That’s what happens when you’re in a band … most of the time, the people I want to work with, we can figure something out. But her and my schedule, literally, at every possible juncture, has just conflicted.
Ryan feels like he has written some tailor-made songs for what her new project is aiming for…an over-the-top ode to the Cardigans and Ace of Base.
Ryan explains her new songs this way…
The stuff that I’m doing for Katy Perry … it connects to the first album. One song is, like, the evolution of ‘Hot N Cold,’ that kind of thing. The next step from that. The other two literally sound like something you would hear in the mid-’90s at a roller-rink skating party — like, a birthday party at a skating rink. I would describe it as guilty-pleasure music, straight up. A chorus where, guy or girl, you’re like, ‘Oh crap.’ You find yourself singing it and singing it.
In closing he added….
I’ve had the melodies and the choruses in these songs stuck in my head for, like, a week. So I feel really good about it, and Katy, I hope you like it. But it just comes down to time. I’m married and so when I do get home, I can only work so much before I end up with all kinds of conflict I don’t want.
