We've seen the name Alex Forbes on songwriting credits for years, going back to the '80s with "Don't Rush Me" by Taylor Dayne and "Too Turned On" by Alisha. More recently, she popped up on a great song called "Sugar My" by Jann Klose, who told us about writing it with her.
Our curiosity piqued, we invited Alex on the Songfacts Podcast to learn more, and we're sure glad we did. Alex is a student of the game and also a teacher, coaching songwriting at creativesongwriter.com. In this episode, we talk about some of her most intriguing songs (including one she wrote with Nile Rodgers) and get into a little Songwriting 201, discussing what popular songs have really effective first lines and what dance songs have lyrics that set them apart.
