We get into everything: how algorithms have reshaped the way critics make decisions, whether paid promotions have poisoned music journalism, and what happens when artists push back. Hard. Plus: the Vince Staples story. The Charlie Puth DMs. Anthony’s revised Addison Rae opinions. Sombr mess. What Charli XCX’s rock album might sound like. Why Taylor Swift’s next move is important, and  whether anyone can still be a true gatekeeper in the age of TikTok. If you've ever wondered whether your favorite music reviewer is actually being honest with you,  this is the conversation.

episode 17: Journalist Analyzes Taylor Swift's Greatest Songwriter Interview artwork

17: Journalist Analyzes Taylor Swift's Greatest Songwriter Interview

The New York Times just named Taylor Swift one of the 30 Greatest Living Songwriters. I watched the full Taylor Swift interview and I have some professional thoughts on her process, her claims, and the reality of her current work. In this episode, I’m breaking down the most revealing moments from the Taylor Swift New York Times piece. We look at her early influences, her approach to storytelling, and the big question: Is the "genius" label still earned? We also dive into Taylor Swift Life of a Showgirl and why that specific era feels like a shift from songwriting to branding. Is she still the writer we fell in love with, or has the scale of her fame changed the music? Let’s look at the evidence…

episode 16: Manon Proved Katseye Doesn't Have Members. It Has Replaceable Girls. artwork

16: Manon Proved Katseye Doesn't Have Members. It Has Replaceable Girls.

Manon didn't just leave Katseye. She exposed the system every girl group runs on and it's been running since Destiny's Child. Every girl group has one. The member who doesn't quite fit the mould. The one the label didn't bet on. The one who gets quietly moved to the edge until leaving feels like her idea.  In this episode, I'm breaking down the five archetypes that every girl group needs to function — and why one of them is always built to be sacrificed. We're going from Destiny's Child and TLC to Little Mix, Fifth Harmony, and Katseye — and what every single one of these groups has in common is the same story playing out in different costumes.  The "sisterhood" you're sold at the press junket is a marketing tool. The reality is a cast, not a family. Manon Bannerman's departure from Katseye isn't a drama. It's a pattern. And once you see it, you can't unsee it.
