In this episode of The Waiting Room, Maria and Nouri pull out the calculator and call out the chaos. From artists with delusional expectations to A&Rs who ghost like it’s their full-time job, nothing is off-limits. They talk about the girls skipping sessions for soft launches, the artists who post more matchas than music, and the growing narrative that labels “don’t do anything” if you’re not on New Music Friday. If you think a vibe is a strategy, this one’s for you.
