My Take

I have a soft spot for the architects who shape pop music from behind the glass, and Dr. Luke is one of the most consequential of his generation. What fascinates me is the trajectory: a guitarist in the Saturday Night Live band who quietly became one of the defining hitmakers of an era. His career has not been without serious controversy, and I don't wave that away. But purely on craft, his instinct for the hook that lodges in your skull is undeniable. From a quiet corner of Rhode Island to the engine room of radio, he is a study in the power of the unseen builder.
