On this episode of Good Noise Podcast, I’m joined by Anaïs & The Hoops to talk about the debut EP Growing Pains. We dive into the emotions and experiences that shape the release, exploring themes of identity, nostalgia, and the uncomfortable in-between moments that come with growing up.Anaïs shares insight into blending indie-pop, jazz, and folk influences, the personal stories behind the songs, and how Growing Pains reflects both self-discovery and holding onto the parts of yourself that feel familiar. Our conversation also touches on vulnerability, creativity, and finding your voice while navigating change.Anaïs & The Hoops Socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anaisandthehoopsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/p/Ana%C3%AFs-The-Hoops-100046916091253/?_rdrTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@anaisandthehoopsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsv0R_homsOhNkbzuqgHdKQApple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/ana%C3%AFs-the-hoops/1706114621Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0agBLPDTOKQGVqfGmtgGp2?si=l6q_u5zUQkKrtBEEItZbOQ&nd=1&dlsi=6ff108a303ff4c38
