Sur son site officiel, le songwriter-producteur américain le plus célèbre du rock, alias Desmond Child, annonce qu'il bosse actuellement avec Tokio Hotel.
Vous vous rappelez les tubes "I was made for lovin' you" de Kiss, "Livin'on a prayer" de Bon Jovi, "Hole in my soul" de Aerosmith ? La liste des chansons co-écrites et produites par Desmond Child est plutôt longue... Effectivement, 300 millions d'albums vendus dans le monde ont en commun de l'avoir eu comme compositeur (principal ou collaborateur) et producteur. Et voilà qu'on apprend qu'il écrit avec (pour ? ...) Tokio Hotel, comme il l'avait fait pour Jonas Brothers il y a quelques années. Une chose dont on est donc sûr : malgré le changement annoncé pour leur troisième album, les quatre allemands veulent être sûrs de vendre toujours autant de disques !"

"On his official website, the American producer-songwriter's most famous rock, aka Desmond Child, said he currently works with Tokio Hotel.
Do you remember the hits "I was made for lovin 'you" Kiss, "Livin'on a prayer" Bon Jovi, "Hole in My Soul" by Aerosmith? The list of songs co-written and produced by Desmond Child is rather long ... Indeed, 300 million albums sold worldwide share of the composer as having (or principal collaborator) and producer. And now we learn that writing (for ...) Tokio Hotel, as it did with Jonas Brothers a few years ago. One thing which is safe despite the change announced for their third album, the four Germans want to be sure always to sell as many records! "
For nearly three decades, songwriter/producer Desmond Child has reigned as one of music's most successful creative forces. His list of accolades includes Grammy awards, 70 Top 40 singles, and songs that have sold over 300 million albums worldwide. Child's career has been highlighted by a stunning array of diversity. His collaborations include Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Ricky Martin, KISS, Kelly Clarkson, Cher, Rosie Johnson and Alice Cooper. "Desmond's a chameleon," Aerosmith's Steven Tyler told Rolling Stone. "The first time we met, we wrote "Angel" in about an hour and 45 minutes - and I'm not bullshitting. The guy's a f**k**g genius."
Desmond Child was born and raised in Gainesville, FL, where his Cuban songwriter mother taught him to play the piano at an early age.[1] In high school, Child formed his first band. It was an acoustic collaboration with a high school friend.[2] Child went on to attend Miami-Dade College. It was in Miami that he formed the group Desmond Child & Rouge in 1973. Soon after, he moved the group to New York City to pursue their musical dreams. "My band Desmond Child & Rouge recorded two albums for Capitol in 1979 and we had a dance hit, "Our Love Is Insane", recalls Child. "But ultimately, we were doing something very different and urban. We weren't really understood by our label."
Child’s experience as a recording artist would soon play a role in his songwriting future. His songs caught the ear of KISS guitarist Paul Stanley, who asked Desmond to co-write a track for the band's 1979 Dynasty album. The result was "I Was Made for Loving You", which is still one of the biggest hits in the KISS catalogue. Paul Stanley then passed Child's phone number to New Jersey rockers Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora. Jon called Desmond and the three ended up in the basement of Sambora's parents' house, where they penned Bon Jovi's first number-one single, "You Give Love a Bad Name". The collaborations continued and they followed with two more chart-toppers, "Livin' on a Prayer" from the band's breakthrough album Slippery When Wet and "Bad Medicine" from the follow-up, New Jersey.
Child soon began duplicating the feat with other major artists. He hooked up with Aerosmith and wrote "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)" & "Angel" (from the their 1987 comeback album, Permanent Vacation), "What it Takes" (Pump, 1989), and "Crazy" (Get a Grip, 1993). During the same period, he co-wrote Joan Jett's "I Hate Myself for Loving You" and also co-wrote all of the tracks on Alice Cooper's Trash LP (including the hit single "Poison"). At this point, Child began branching out from his rock base, co-penning Michael Bolton’s "How Can We Be Lovers", as well as co-writing and producing "Just Like Jesse James" and "We All Sleep Alone" for Cher. In the midst of all of his success, he also found time to record the solo album Discipline (Elektra, 1991), which contained his own Top 40 hit, "Love on a Rooftop". In the late 1990s, Child returned to his Latin heritage via collaborations with Ricky Martin. Their efforts resulted in the number-one worldwide smash "Livin' La Vida Loca". The two also scored big with the 1998 World Cup Theme "The Cup of Life", which was a #1 hit in 25 countries. [3]
Despite having worked for nearly thirty years as a writer, producer, and artist, Child remains energized and enthusiastic...ready to create hits indefinitely. "I was born with a certain drive and sense of destiny that keeps me going," says Child. "Maybe it was because I was born poor; I wanted to win for the family. I still put a lot of energy in what I do. I try to really live life, so I have new experiences that I can write about." More than twenty years after the number-one beginning in that New Jersey basement, Desmond Child remains as in-demand as ever. His latest projects include: The Rasmus, Joss Stone, David Archuleta, Kelly Clarkson, The Scorpions, Hilary Duff, Meat Loaf, Ace Young, and his old pals in Bon Jovi. "The Desmond you don't know about," says Jon Bon Jovi, "is the one who not only taught me the next level of songwriting, but so many of the true aspects of friendship: truth, honor and loyalty. We've been through a lot together - the ups and the downs…and the ups again."

Thoughts..?
he has an impressive list of clients...
And the fact that a majority of those names are big now, makes me think that Tokio Hotel are taking a step in the right direction for world domination
And apparently the albums rumoured release date is 10th of April.
