Behind the Song, Vol. 6
Where do songs come from? A biology student wrote the beat for Post Malone's "Rockstar" between finals at the University of Hartford. Ed Sheeran came up with the main vocal hook for "Shape of You" after playing with Legos. Another volume of fly-on-the-wall stories of the making of classic songs.
