The Clutch

The Clutch is an American collective of songwriters responsible for a series of successful singles including Omarion's "Ice Box", Ciara's "Like A Boy", Timbaland's "The Way I Are" and Britney Spears' "Radar".

History

Based in Atlanta, The Clutch consists of Candice Clotiel "Gg" Nelson, Ezekiel L "(E)Zeke" Lewis, Patrick Michael "J. Que" Smith, Balewa Muhammad and Keri Lynn Hilson. Any combination of two or more of the five writers on a song is considered a track "written by The Clutch" as they rarely work as a complete fivesome. Currently the only released songs written by all members together are Keri Hilson's "Return the Favor", Bayje's "Jealous Of Your Whip", Keke Palmer's "Game Song", Bobby Valentino's "Let's Go" and Jennifer Lopez' "Wrong When You're Gone".

The Clutch promotes new record producers, including: Calvo Da Gr8 ("Like a Boy"), Bigg D ("Wrong When You're Gone"), Hit-Boy ("Forever", "Hey Young Girl"), and former O-Town member Dan Miller. The Clutch has also written songs for some of the most successful producers in R&B including Timbaland, Danja, Bryan-Michael Cox, Bloodshy & Avant and Tricky Stewart.[1][2]

The Clutch co-produced the track "Radar", recorded by pop singer Britney Spears for her 2007 studio album "Blackout". The song also appeared on Spears' 2008 album "Circus" and will be released as a single in 2009.
