This week on Delulu with Ryan Lu, Ryan sits down with SLUSH PUPPY, an iconic producer-songwriter whose work spans from K-pop to the internet pop moments you've been obsessed with. He gets into working with CORTIS and why that experience felt like the least K-pop thing they've done, fully hands-on, collaborative, and creatively involved. He also talks about producing early records like Fashion and What You Want, the latter becoming the group's first Spotify single, and what it means to actually build records from the ground up instead of just chasing placements.The conversation dives into spontaneous, high-impact moments too, like linking with Lara Raj from KATSEYE to create the Gnarly remix in a single night, turning a text into a finished record the team immediately loved. Ryan and his guest also unpack their close creative relationship with Snow Wife, from naming the project to organically building Bodyology II together, and the full circle journey of meeting Magdalene and creating DJesus, which led to a year long collaboration and even a Joshua Tree writing camp. It's an inside look at building artist worlds, trusting creative chemistry, and why the best work happens when you go all in with the right people.Follow @e.mo.tions / @delulubff for more!

Ellise is back on the pod and it honestly feels like catching up with a friend who has a lot to say. We get into her delulu mindset (the good, the bad, the slightly unhinged), what being on tour actually felt like behind the scenes, and how all of it fed into her new EP Bedroom Confessional. It's raw, it's intimate, and it feels like flipping through her diary at 2am. She opens up about growth, spirals, and what it means to turn your real life into art without holding back.We also get into the conversation everyone's been having, the Melanie Martinez comparison allegations. Ellise addresses it head-on, clears the air, and talks about originality, inspiration, and navigating the internet when people think they've figured you out. It's honest, a little chaotic, and exactly the kind of episode you don't want to miss.Follow @e.mo.tions / @delulubff for more!

Kyra Machida is on Delulu and we get into everything from growing up in rural Japan to basically being thrown into the world of pop training in Asia and what that actually looks like behind the scenes. She talks about the pressure, the discipline, and how it shaped her as an artist, plus how she found her own voice through it all. We also get into her music and her alter ego Georgina (we love her hehehehe).We talk about her new single Humiliation Ritual, the darker energy she's leaning into right now, and the world she's building with her upcoming music. There's also a whole witchy spiritual side to her that naturally we had to get into. duhhh.Follow @e.mo.tions / @delulubff for more!

This week on Delulu, Ryan sits down with Sasha Allen and gets into everything. From his time on The Voice and what it was actually like being on Team Ariana, to his real relationship with Ariana Grande behind the scenes, nothing is off limits. We clear up the internet chaos too, including the rumors about him running an Ariana hate account (?!?!?!?!).We also get into his relationship with Adore Delano and how she inspires his new music, his Swiftie side, and thoughts on Taylor Swift. Plus, a very real moment about feeling lowkey held hostage by his label, and the ongoing identity crisis of there being another Sasha Allen that is not him. As a trans artist who broke barriers on The Voice, Sasha brings his whole self to this one. It's messy, honest, a little unhinged hehhehe.Follow @e.mo.tions / @delulubff for more!

Kelon Campbell comes on as himself and we talk about everything, from playing Terri Joe and how that character even became what it is, to what it feels like having something you created take on a life of its own. Better known online as Psyiconic, Kelon built Terri Joe into one of TikTok's most recognizable viral characters, and we get into him bringing her to the big screen in his first movie, Terri Joe: Missionary in Miami, stepping into acting in a real way and bringing that character into a completely new space.We also talk about the other side of it all, the pressure to constantly be creating, moments where you just want to disappear and do nothing, and how that feels living in Los Angeles where it feels like you're not allowed to slow down. It's about identity, delusion, ambition, and what's actually real underneath all of it.Follow @e.mo.tions / @delulubff for more!

This week on Delulu, Magdalene is here and we get into everything. She talks about her new music and what's coming with her upcoming album, plus what it's been like working with Slush Puppy and finding that creative chemistry. We also dive into how being from New Mexico has shaped her sound and aesthetic, from the desert energy to the mysticism and isolation that really lives inside her art.She also gets into her time on the road touring with Current Joys and Surf Curse and how that world shaped her as a performer. Of course we had to talk about the Lady Gaga and Madonna comparisons too, and she shares why she actually loves them. We get into ambition, theatrics, owning your influence, and not being afraid to be a little larger than life. It's such a good conversation about confidence, vision, and fully stepping into who you are as an artist.Follow @e.mo.tions / @delulubff for more!
