It’s a been a minute — or six years — since we last caught up with Rita Ora and a lot has happened: she got married (to director Taika Waititi), she release an album (2023’s You & I), she’s hosted so many TV shows, and really gone deep with the acting (Queen of Hearts in The Descendants, opposite Brandy no less). We talk about all this plus her early years from interning at a London record studio to getting signed by Jay Z and moving to NYC, not to mention her dance roots, this new era and — oh my god — collaborating with Taika on (amongst other projects) a musical inspired by the hilarious catastrophe that was Fyre Festival with music by, wait for it, Adele (and her longtime collaborator/songwriter Paul Epworth). And this is just the tip of the iceberg because the Kosovan-born, British-raised, 36-year-old, multi-hyphenate extraordinaire has experienced so much. And she’s got some tips for turkey roasting. So nice to have her back.Chapters:01:24 - Early Career & UK Music Scene06:51 - Dance Music Roots & Club Culture13:19 - Working with Avicii & "Lonely Together"16:32 - Creative Process & Studio Setup18:28 - Pushing Artistic Boundaries21:45 - The Song "Joy" & TV Soundtracks27:45 - Relationship with Partner Taika Waititi & Creative Synergy31:01 - Fyre Festival Musical Project42:00 - Taika Waititi & Music Videos45:44 - New Era: "All Natural" & Artistic Identity49:07 - Overcoming Anxiety & Personal Growth52:01 - Looking Ahead: Future Projects & InspirationSUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It’s only been 18 months since we last had Allie X on the couch talking about her third album Girl with No Face, but she’s already back with her new, fourth record, Happiness Is Going to Get You — a quasi-concept things of wonder, a repetitive piano note which begins the album and rings out as its closing coda. A record that centers around the time traveling hirsute character that is Infant Marie, with songs that examine male emotional repression, reuniting with oneself, a shitty uncle as a metaphor for the music industry, and so much more. We talk about all this plus Allie X versus Allie Hughes, the beauty and sadness of trying to stay naive, songwriting for others, hard truths, suffering for one’s art, and most importantly how Allie is going to teach Zach how to sing. Oh and that reality show she was on in Canada called How to Solve a Problem Like Maria with Andrew Lloyd WebberStream "Happiness Is Going To Get You" ►► https://tinyurl.com/3nv36dymSUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Marcus King is back with us to unpack the making of Darling Blue — his first reunion with the Marcus King Band since 2018, and a heartfelt ode to the mountains of his home, his roots, his wife, his struggles, and everything in between.The 29-year-old’s as laidback, candid, and funny as ever. He talks about what he learned from Tyler Childers, panic attacks, depression, and microdosing, the appeal of tough love and his spitfire wife Briely (and covering her in honey), being the black sheep of Nashville, and so much more. Make sure to check him out at Stagecoach next May!

Last time we had Noah in the studio was 2022 so there’s a lot to catch up on. We talk about her deeply collaborative, deluxe version of Americana-country album, I WANT MY LOVED ONES TO GO WITH ME — which features collabs with everyone from Fleet Foxes to Bill Callahan, Blake Shelton to Ella Langley, and her brother Braison and her dad Billy Ray and even her grandad. We talk about all this plus working with her bestie Orville Peck who jumps in on pod via phone, stepping into a co-production role, her fiancé Pinkus, her horse Constantine (and his ashes), plus two rounds of tonsillectomy — one of which punctured her lung! Noah also opens up about her journey with therapy and Borderline Personality Disorder dealing with loss and fear of abandonment, giving her parents grace and understanding, and working with XXXtancion. She’s as beautifully candid and funny and forthright as ever.

Hot on the heels of our interview with Audrey Nuna — the singing voice of Mira in KPop Demon Hunters — we’ve got Ejae in the hot seat. Her journey to become the singing voice of Rumi is pretty different. The Korean-American singer spent 11 years as a trainee and was dropped before she debuted, ultimately finding her way into songwriting, via Tisch School of Arts, and even returning to the very KPop company who dropped her to pen hits for other acts like Red Velvet, Twice, and Le Sserafim.We get the skinny on what it was really like being K-pop trainee, why she was dropped, what Tisch was like (her classmates included Lauv, Phoebe Ryan, and Fletcher), and how she broke into songwriting, eventually leading to her writing the pop juggernaut that is ‘Golden’ (Grammy nominated!), not to mention a bunch of the other songs on the soundtrack. And let’s just say writing for film is very different than writing for a pop group. Rei Ami, Audrey Nuna, and Ejae have only recently started performing live together and Ejae’s still getting her feet wet when it comes to the stage — it can be panic-inducing — so we also get into that, plus her debut solo single ‘In Another World,’ and so much more!

Kathy Griffin needs no introduction. This fiery redhead has been making people laugh and causing a ruckus with her unapologetic tea-spilling celebrity anecdotes since the 90s. A self-proclaimed stand-up addict, she joins us in the studio for the first time ever — on her 65th birthday — to talk about her weekly YouTube show, Talk Your Head Off, and her new comedy special, also on YouTube, My Life On the PTSD List. The title is of course a play on her groundbreaking, Emmy-winning reality show My Life On the D List, which was one of the genre and era-defining Bravo shows in the 2000s, and now it’s also on, you guessed it, YouTube. All for free. We talk about all this, plus her new face (it’s her third), getting thrown out of Paris Hilton’s party, Kris Jenner, body dysmorphia, how she manages to maintain relationships when she’s always being so delightfully, hilariously, and publicly indiscreet. This woman has more comedy specials than any other comedian, man or woman! Plus we discuss Joan Rivers, falling out with Anderson Cooper, Andy Cohen, talking crap about Jerry Seinfeld, Ellen, dating Quentin Tarantino and Steve Wozniak (not at the same time). We also dig into what was the most seismic moment of her life: when photographer Tyler Shields snapped a shot of her holding up a rubber mask of Trump covered in ketchup. It sparked a chain of overreactions from the President that saw her put on the no-fly list and investigated like a terrorist. So much for free speech! It tanked her career for seven years, and led to a series of really dark periods with drugs and suicidal ideation that also coincided with her losing her mom, the pandemic, getting lung cancer even though she never smoked! Woof. This convo is a wild ride and Zach and Dan definitely get a roasting too.My Life On the PTSD List | Full Comedy Special ►►https://youtu.be/UF2REkRgUZA?si=UteKJeyZSleZvqM_SUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uFollow The Zach Sang Show:https://tiktok.com/@zachsangshowhttps://www.instagram.com/zachsangshow/https://twitter.com/zachsangshowhttps://www.facebook.com/ZachSangShow/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Faouzia’s been on the brink for a minute, having first started dropping songs ten years ago and with a catalog that boasts collabs with everyone from David Guetta to Kelly Clarkson to John Legend. And yet it’s only now that she’s releasing her debut album, Film Noir, independently. It’s an album steeped in the 25-year-old’s classically trained background, her Moroccan-Canadian roots, and her romantic trials and tribulations. She joins us on the couch for the first time to talk about all this, plus her move from Atlantic to her own label, the carefully constructed union of sound and vision in her music videos, how an actual fever led to her song ‘Sweet Fever’ (and an insane sidequest to get to the mountains of Burbank), exactly how and why she’s wound up as the second biggest international streaming artist in China (behind Taylor Swift), and so much more!Stream "FILM NOIR" ►►https://stem.ffm.to/filmnoirSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

P1Harmony returns to the studio (it’s been about a year since we caught up with them), to talk about their latest EP — and first full English language collection — EX. The title track includes the line: “Every girl deserves to have her exploration / Have a little fun without an explanation,” and we couldn’t agree more. We discuss the songs on this new EP, meditation and stress management, their songwriting process, aspirations, and of course the Harmony Adventures on their YouTube channel. Let’s just say Princess Theo’s been busy…Stream "EX" ►►https://p1h-official.lnk.to/P1H_EXSUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Lesbian Jesus — so anointed by her fans — is a force to be reckoned with. Artist, actor, director, dancer, New York Times bestselling author. It’s wild! And we’ve finally got her on the couch to discuss her newest novel, the Victorian-set, YA page-turner, Where There’s Room For Us. She discusses the novel’s inception — inspired by her meet-cute with her now fiancé Becca Tilley (of The Bachelor) — and we find out all about her proposal too. We also do some deep dives into her acting catalogue from Disney’s Lemonade Mouth to Jem and the Holograms, which was directed by John M. Chu! Jem was also where Kiyoko met Stefanie Scott who she cast in the ‘Girls Like Girls’ music video and who she ended up co-writing the screenplay for Girls Like Girls the movie… which is on the way. We discuss all of that, not to mention her upbringing in a creative household, the landscape for musicians these days versus even ten years ago, and also the landscape for queer artists, plus so much more. Make sure to check out the audiobook as well because Kiyoko’s got none other than actor Jemima Kirke voicing the character of Freya.
