Quadeca Talks New Album ‘Vanisher, Horizon Scraper,’ Danny Brown, YouTube Rap, Concept Albums

We caught up with Quadeca a little bit last month when he crashed the Kevin Abstract interview with Love Spells, and thanks to overwhelming demand, here he is solo and in-depth. Still just 24 years old, Quadeca, aka Benjamin Fernando Barajas Lasky, has been extremely online for almost half his life. Starting his YouTube channel back in 2012, putting up Fifa videos, then becoming known as a YouTube rapper, getting in spats with KSI, and eventually swerving into more experimental sonic territory, releasing his own brain-bending records as well as working with others like Abstract and Danny Brown. We talk about all this plus his latest opus Vanisher, Horizon Scraper, an ambitious concept record that has a mythos all its own (and we get into it big time). We also discuss the influence of his parents, his early-years piano teacher, his loyal fanbase, and learning to sail as part of the creation of this fourth album. A dedicated polymath, his ethos on music videos and remaining independent is truly inspiring. Definitely don’t sleep on this conversation.

Jessie Murph Talks Gucci Mane, Blue Strips, 1960's Inspo, and New Album ‘Sex Hysteria’

A whole 10 months since she last sat on our couch and Jessie Murph is back — all in pink with a Priscilla Presley bouffant — to talk about her new album Sex Hysteria. It’s a collection that flays with its honesty, filtering the 20-year-old’s relationship experiences — familial, romantic, and otherwise — into lyrics that are searing, sassy, and sad too (‘The Man Who Came Back’ we’re looking at you). There’s some solid good-time bangers too ‘Touch Me Like a Gangster’ and ‘Blue Strips’ with Sexyy Red to name a couple. We talk about all this, the Alabama-born singer’s new look, and her 60s soul-trap sonic palette. We also discuss the meaning behind Sex Hysteria, how she’s now incorporating her cheer background into her work, generational cycles (and how hard it is to break them), not to mention working with Lil Baby and Gucci Mane too. Oh and how there’s a few killer songs on the vinyl that won’t make it onto streaming. So you better get your hands on that 12-inch when you can. Although it doesn’t always come easily for her, it’s Jessie’s era of emotional transparency and we’re here for it.

Dillon Francis on Sobriety, Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus, Pop-punk and Tomorrowland

It’s been a minute or six years since DJ and internet prankster Dillon Francis dropped by. Since then a lot has happened — endless Vegas residencies, sobriety, and, it seems, he’s developed fatigue of The Drop. Naturally the LA-native is still busy crafting drops: he has a new release with German house DJ Marten Hørger for one, and a whole punk-pop project popping too (no drops there).We also talk about Diplo, his falling out and reconciliation with DJ Snake, the young artists he’s buzzing about, reality TV, plundering Splice, and how after a decade plus he manages to stay inspired.

Jackson Wang Talks 'MAGICMAN 2,' GOT7, and the K-Pop Industry

From being a sportsman in his youth to leaving it all behind to be a Kpop trainee, to touring the world with GOT7, to going solo and independent, Jackson Wang’s many phases could fill a memoir and he’s only 31. Fresh from traipsing round Mumbai, India, Jackson joined us again — for the first time in five years — to discuss this new era of his career and his third album MAGICMAN 2. It’s a record preceded by a year off, a necessary reboot, a recalibration — in short, Jackson took control. His sound is different and so is his outlook. It’s a coming of age, a newfound appreciation of his parents; a record that after greater glimpses into the dark corners of human behaviour, and one that opens himself up in a way previous records have not. Many diary entries later, it’s a record that also makes peace with betrayal. We discuss the machinations of GOT7 moving forward, fencing, his latest fashion venture, fandom and the idol system, and so much more. It’s a serious chat, but also one that’s full of jokes. And a fair few of them at our expense!Watch KCON LA LIVE this year with Amazon Music Aug 1-3!

Keshi Talks New Album ‘Requiem,’ 'Gabriel,' Tattoos, and Nursing

Keshi joins us IRL in the studio for the first time — last time was peak-pandemic vibes — and it gets real, real fast. He maps his beginnings as an oncology nurse and the moment he decided to make the leap to music and we go deep into his process — now on his latest LP Requiem versus his debut Gabriel — his tricked-out home studio, his abiding John Mayer nerdery (right down to the style of tattoos), and the striking the balance between his public and private spheres. The 30-year-old Houston, Texas-born artist also speaks movingly about the loss of the close collaborator, the grief of which inspired a significant amount of this record. Additionally we touch on imposter syndrome, Sigmund Freud, OCD, how much is too much and how sometimes his music is setting the stage for his own therapy. Don’t miss this conversation!

Lauren Spencer Smith on Grief, Divorce, ‘American Idol,’ and New Album ‘THE ART OF BEING A MESS’

Lauren Spencer Smith returns to the studio for a third time to talk about her latest LP THE ART OF BEING A MESS. We go deep real fast with the British-born, British Colombia-based, American Idol alum. Just like her music, in conversation the 21-year-old is candid, raw, and funny, unpicking the true-life stories behind ‘IF KARMA DOESN’T GET YOU (I WILL),’ ‘Looking Up,’ ‘things you never say,’ and more. Her emotions are close to the surface; her songs, small exorcisms. The pain of grief, the disappointment of divorce, the fiery rage of being underestimated. We also talk about self-love and acceptance, friend breakups, singing with Keith Urban at 11, American Idol, love, and so much more.Stream "THE ART OF BEING A MESS" ►► https://laurenspencersmith.lnk.to/THEARTOFBEINGAMESSSUBSCRIBE 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.

María Zardoya of "The Marías" on Love, Breakups, Bad Bunny, Benny and Selena, and Album ‘Submarine’

Amazon Music is offering Prime members a 4 Month Free Trial of Amazon Music Unlimited! Sign up here: https://www.tryamazonmusic.com/zach and enjoy your favorite music, podcasts, and audiobooks all summer long! Dream-pop band The Marías have captivating audiences since their nimble, lush EPs Superclean Vol. I and II, in 2017 and 2018, respectively. Led by frontwoman Maria Zardoya’s slinky, sultry vocals and anchored by Josh Conway’s cinematic grooves, their music feels instinctual and familiar, with lyrics that go for the emotional jugular. Slot them seamlessly between Cigarettes After Sex and Mazzy Star and you’re getting there. Fast-forward eight years and they’re streaming millions and have collaborated with everyone from Bad Bunny to Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez. Maria joins us in the studio for the first time to discuss all this, plus how and why she left Puerto Rico for Snellville, Georgia, ultimately winding up in LA (and the crazy way she did so!), meeting Josh by chance, falling in love, and forming the band. But how does a band — completed by Jesse Perlman and Edward James — survive the break-up of its key songwriters? Maria and Josh navigated these choppy waters in the creation of 2024’s Submarine, their story lingering on recent singles ‘Back to Me’ and ‘Nobody New.’ The 29-year-old opens up about the therapy, the heartbreak and the healing. Is love worth it? What is love without possession? We go deep and talk psychedelics, underwater photoshoots, the upcoming record which will complete this three colors trilogy (a nod to director Krzysztof Kieślowski), plus much, much more.SUBSCRIBE 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.
