Flopstars

Hello and welcome to The Pop In the adjacent podcast to Flopstars where we run through the big music news stories & song releases of the week!

Coming Up:

Bop or Flop

It's a return to the podcast for Jessie Ware with her fifth record 'That! Feels Good!'. It delves further into the dance world that she concocted on 'What's Your Pleasure' but it goes even bigger. It's cheekier, hornier, poppier, and dancier in the best way. We delve into how Ware has found an artistic hot streak with this sound and how this may be one of the best albums of the year.

hellloooooooo!!!!! i'll put a more concise description in soon! instead, here's a copy paste of the runsheet!

What’s been happening this week? / Coming Up

Bop or Flop

Back for the Pop In for another week! Our adjacent podcast to Flopstars where we run through the big releases and moments in music this week. THERE'S SO MANY SONGS.

Today: SZA makes history, Fred Again did Coachella but is it a good thing? Kim Petras & Nicki Minaj FINALLY put out Alone and we find a resolution on the Chorus Fiasco (please consult past episodes for further information) and we have new music from…

We've reserved our longest episode ever for Madonna. It only feels right given we're discussing 'Ray Of Light', one of her seminal works and an experimental masterpiece that shifted the course of her career. Both Nic & Sam had never listened to the project in full so this is a first impression of sorts. This is a crash course in the genius of Madonna as much as it is a talk-through 'Ray Of Light'.

Welcome back to The Pop In! The adjacent podcast to FLOPSTARS where we run through the big new songs & music moments of the week.

On this show: Sam's cooking some sort of confusing tomato dish, we wrap the response to last week's Flopstar Frank Ocean's divisive Coachella headline performance + the vibe around BLACKPINK, Bad Bunny & Becky G's sets from Weekend 1, we've got a new chapter and absolutely no closure on the saga of Where Is The Chorus Actually In Kim Petras & Nicki Minaj's 'Alone', excitement over Bebe Rexha & Snoop Dogg's California Gurls moment, the female rap battle between SZA & Doja Cat + Nicki Minaj & Ice Spice, and new music in Bop Or Flop as follows...

Frank Ocean's 'Blonde' is considered by many to be the best album of the 2010s. It's one of the most influential albums of our time; a wonky, off-kilter listen that's deeply personal. It's so mysteriously affecting that it's difficult to put into words exactly what it makes you feel but on this episode of Flopstars we give it our best shot.

These two Swifties are devastated to bring you the Pop In this week, the adjacent podcast to Flopstars. Is true love dead? We explore. Along with talking about The Weeknd's potential surprise appearance at Coachella this weeknd (yes), previewing the headliners, talking about the Nicki Minaj & Kim Petras thing and what the f*ck a chorus is, as well as new music from Mahalia, Ellie Goulding, Jonas Brothers, Drake, Shygirl and one more I can't quite remember at the point of typing. THERE'S ALSO A WHOLE THING ABOUT HOW THE WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH MIGHT BE CAMP NOW? idk. Follow us on Insta & TikTok and join the chat!

Sabrina Carpenter is the subject of Flosptars this week as she makes her podcast debut with 'emails i can't send'. Her fifth album was a career breakthrough for her coming off the back of a highly publicised relationship, that brought new ears to an intimate project. It's a weird and wonky pop record that challenges at points but ultimately shows her off as a unique artist.

The Pop In is the adjacent podcast to Flopstars wrapping up the big music news stories & new releases of the week!

Jimin becomes the first Korean solo star with a US #1 album (for a record under 20 mins), we finally get a chance to dissect the Lana album (including the song Nic calls "The one about the fisherman" plus HUGE news if your name is Sam Murphy, Kelly Clarkson's back! We've also got new singles from Ellie Goulding, Chloe, Melanie Martinez (WARNING: BABY VOICE), Khalid, Bebe Rexha, Charlie Puth, Chappell Roan and BOYGENIUS + new music is on the way from Jesy Nelson - who we will remind you is only ONE SONG IN - and David Guetta's flipping Haddaway with Anne Marie & Coi Leray, which could go anywhere!
