Bethany Cosentino on Self Discovery, Being an Icon, & Getting Guidance from Hayley Williams and Shirley Manson

Bethany Cosentino catches up with Kyle Meredith to talk about her debut solo album, Natural Disaster. The Best Coast singer tells us about keeping the album a secret for the past few years and why it was time to put her band on indefinite hiatus, finding her new voice and musical direction, and writing what amounts to an album about self-discovery instead of the lyrics about relationships that she may have been known for. Cosentino also discusses how she leaned into the sound of 90s heroes like Counting Crows, Sheryl Crow, REM, and Liz Phair, and having Paramore’s Hayley Williams and Garbage’s Shirley Manson offer encouragement and guidance.
