About this listen
Discover the songwriting technique used in 97% of all hit songs
How to use subtle psychological triggers to captivate any audience.
Writing pop, rock, R&B, or hip-hop has never been easier or more fun.
Master the art of writing addicting songs
Music is a tough industry to break into. With production gear being affordable for the first time in history, it seems like everyone is making music these days. Getting noticed in the continuous stream of information that is the Internet seems almost impossible.
But: There is a technique designed specifically to captivate and hook an audience and with The Addiction Formula, you can learn it in a couple of hours. You will learn all about lyric-less storytelling, a technique used by the most successful songwriters of our time. If you've always wanted to know how to write songs that stick out and speak to a large audience, this is the book for you.
The songwriting book for a new generation of songwriters
The 60s are over! Songwriting today is a very different experience than it was when the Beatles were on the air. By combining arrangement, harmony, melody, rhythm, lyrics and production in one deviously simple technique it is the first songwriting book that speaks to an all-writing, all-producing DIY generation.
Includes over 317 techniques you will be able to use instantly
Part two of The Addiction Formula is almost like a dictionary of hit songwriting techniques. All the tools are hand-picked from hit songs of the past 30 years. But this book is far more than just a list of tips and tricks: The Addiction Formula also shows you how the techniques can be applied to your songs. It puts all of what you learn into perspective and shows you how they all fit together.
With 331 examples including songs by Rihanna, Katy Perry, Drake and Maroon 5
Are you sick and tired of being taught techniques based on some old country song you've never heard of? One of my guidelines for writing this book was to only include hit songs from the past 30 years.
Every single technique in The Addiction Formula is proven with one or more examples to show it in action and to help you learn it quickly and easy. I mean, hey, you get to learn by listening to the songs you listen to anyways! It's fun, quick, and practical.

food for thought
There are some good ideas in this book but it fails to connect with the listener in an objective way. I may have to listen again simply because many of the descriptions did not illicit a visualization. Overall, a fine perspective on arrangement.

Great book for producers and songwriters
I’ve been producing for more than 15 years and all the things I’d instinctively do now I understand how and why I do, and I’ve learned many more technics I’ve never thought about.
A must to any serious producer and songwriters.
The book is direct to the point and well structure, some examples I don’t love and agree but overall it did a good job explaining the concepts.
If you’re looking for a blueprint for structuring your musical ideas, this is your book.

Gives you an intelligent synopsis of current pop
Gives you an intelligent synopsis of current pop music and some tools to "up" your writing/production game. You will listen to pop music differently after this!
