No mention of The Kurstins album, ex-wife?

[edit]

Can anyone elaborate on why there is no information at all here about his marriage to thereminist Pamelia Kurstin, or the 2000 album they produced together before they divorced? Is that a different Greg Kurstin or is there some other reason it's been omitted? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.171.63.16 (talk) 00:58, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That does seem to be a glaring omission, particularly since she has her own page Pamelia_Kurstin. I own the album in question, Gymnopedie, and I bought it from them when they were playing for tips near Fisherman's Wharf in SF years ago. Great album, both great players.

Pamelia's having her own page does not answer the question posed, or fill the void on THIS page.
This page is just missing the usual "Personal Life" section, where this would be/should be included. Interesting that no one's cared in 14-16 years, but nevertheless it's still an incomplete entry. 216.186.196.37 (talk) 13:03, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that it links to a completely different group's album, not the one with Inara George. In fact, the Inara George album of that name doesn't seem to exist at all. As I understand it, that was when they were introduced to go on to form the group The Bird & The Bee. Springfinger (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 10:36, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, good catch, you are absolutely right. I think her album likely does merit its own entry, so I've redlinked it to what I think is the most likely article title, All Rise (Inara George album), and added creating it to my list of things to do. I'm a little backed up, though (and very lazy), so if anyone wants to beat me to it, please do. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 23:27, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Associated acts

[edit]

If we put every artist that Greg Kurstin worked with in the "associated acts" info box, we'll end up with an infobox that takes up the entire page. I think we need to be selective -- "Associated" should be used for artists Kurstin has worked with on multiple albums or songs over an extended period of time, which is the case with the artists currently listed.

Why the emphasis on Adele's "Hello"?

[edit]

I noticed that in the brief info of Kurstin's career at the beginning of his wiki page, the only song mentioned there is "Hello" by Adele. I dare to suggest that it might be good to mention more songs there, like "The Fear" by Lily Allen (a #1 hit in the UK) or "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" (his first #1 song in the US) or "Chandelier" by Sia (a big hit) or "Try" by Pink (another big hit). I don't see a reason to put it like Adele is his only hit when it happened years after his first hits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.91.51.153 (talk) 13:03, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The WP:LEDE highlights the most significant accomplishments. It is be no means meant to be a detailed overview of his production credits. However, if some of these achievements are award-winning releases then they should be mentioned. Karst (talk) 13:34, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not saying the other songs shouldn't be mentioned, but I included "Hello" in the lede because it was more than a #1 or a "big hit" - it was massive. It broke the one-week streaming record by nearly 4 million; broke the record for first week download sales, the video for the track broke YouTube/Vevo records with 27.7 million views in the first 24 hours, and the song was #1 in almost every country on the planet.("Hello" Stats from NME) JSFarman (talk) 04:51, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. It certainly should be highlighted. I guess the anon IP has a point in that the LEDE perhaps needs more of a career overview. Karst (talk) 07:53, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
