I'm John Caramonica, one of the critics behind the New York Times' 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters Project.
We interviewed some of the songwriters on our list, including Taylor Swift, who hasn't sat for a video like this in a long time.
These are not ordinary conversations.
These creative superstars are sharing parts of their process in ways that you rarely have access to.
On top of the mad task of picking only 30 people, we also went out and got some Music World heavyweights to weigh in.
Watch all the video interviews for free and check out the entire 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters Project at nytimes.com slash 30greatest or in the app.
And let us know if you agree with our picks.
I bet you won't.
I'm Gilbert Cruz, and this week on the Book Review Podcast, it's our Summer Books Roundup.
