UK rap icon Wretch 32 joins Jamz to discuss ‘Feels' from his acclaimed 2025 studio album, HOME?

Together they talk about the record's powerful themes around Black British identity and legacy, discussing the divided state of modern Britain, confronting ignorance and the power of empathy, while examining shifting generational experiences across the years.

As an artist continually pushing musical boundaries - even reimagining this album for a live theatrical performance at the National Theatre - Wretch has wisdom to share for aspiring rappers looking to break through in the current climate.

They discuss the nuances of the writing process - how Wretch discovered rapping 'in real time’ from a Scarface record, how he analogises writing music to making Hollywood movies, and how the mic is always ready to listen.

Together, they piece together Jacob’s steps to becoming the acclaimed artist they are today, from escaping a childhood that felt very distant from their authentic self, through a challenging stint living in a van in Edinburgh, and discovering and nurturing a voice in music that helped express the inexpressible.

Jamz and Jacob also discuss the mind-altering alchemy and fantasy of infatuation as a theme through the song and album more broadly, reflect on the impact of ‘tragic’ or 'doomed' portrayals of queer relationships and reveal how a shared interest in quantum physics and astronomy developed with album producer and creative partner, Dan Carey.

Emma-Jean Thackray joins Jamz Supernova as they discuss ’Save Me’ from her Mercury Award shortlisted album, Weirdo.

Emma-Jean explores how music became a vehicle to express herself through personal tragedy, when speaking openly to friends and family didn’t seem possible.

Emma-Jean unpacks an album that is simultaneously a grief diary, sonically reflecting the rollercoaster of emotions one goes through when losing a loved one, whilst also honestly documenting her experience with neurodivergence, the superpowers and challenges that come with it.

Jamz and Emma-Jean also touch on confessional poetry and the influences of Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton on her lyrical style, on the complexity of writing and performing through grief, and the bravery of the artist’s role in holding a mirror up to their audience.
