This week, Montreal-based artist Magi Merlin joined me in the studio to talk about her journey as a singer/songwriter and the current state of the music industry. We talked creepy male producers, double standards, cultural appropriation, and the Grammy Awards. We also answered questions like, “Is there still a place for apolitical artists?” and “When does fake tan become blackface?”
