• This Album Changed Pop: Charli XCX - 'how i'm feeling now'

  In 2020, Charli XCX gave herself just four weeks in lockdown to make a full album — and somehow created one of the most important pop records of the 21st century. how i’m feeling now is euphoric and sad, raw and ravey, intimate yet made for a crowd we couldn’t be in.In this episode, I unpack the album’s strange magic — the glitchy production, the club beats we danced to alone, and the heartbreak that hit even harder with distance. I talk about the producers who helped shape it (A.G. Cook, BJ Burton, Danny L Harle), how it quietly reshaped pop music, and why “party 4 u” feels even more devastating now than it did in lockdown.I also cover the news headlines in pop:JADE announces her debut albumRihanna has new music comingA 'party 4 u' music video is on the way.Email voicenotes to [email protected] and chat with us in the Discord: https://discord.gg/QEw9se7yAm

• Hits That Shouldn’t Have Been and the Songs That Deserved Better: Lady Gaga, Beyoncé and More

  On this episode, I’m diving into the pop singles that shouldn’t have been hits — and the deep cuts that deserved the spotlight instead. From Beyoncé to Lana Del Rey, Lady Gaga to SZA, I'm calling out the pop crimes and imagining alternate timelines where justice was served. Why did “Halo” blow up but a song like "Boydguard" never got off the ground? Plus, I’m giving some love to the songs that could still bee hits if the stars align just right.In music news: Charli XCX reportedly shot a video for fan favourite “Party 4 U,” Lola Young is dropping “One Thing” this Friday, and "Supernatural" by Ariana Grande is having a surprise chart moment. Lorde’s “Ribs” is back on the Global Spotify chart (justice!), and Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” has broken another chart record.Come and chat with us in the Discord: ⁠https://discord.gg/QEw9se7yAm⁠
