Pop singer songwriter Connor Nelson joins the show to take us behind on his latest single 'Black'! Known for his dreamy and emotive vocal ability and expressive lyrics, the young singer-songwriter writes music that is close to his heart, often inspired by personal experiences. Combining elements of R&B, synth, and electro-pop with alternative influences, Connor is a skilled artist who knows how to seamlessly merge seemingly opposing sounds. Written from the personal experience of liking someone who suddenly ends all communication, Connor Nelson's "Black" shares the emotions and frustrations felt when one person has feelings for the other, who doesn't feel the same way back. Titled "Black" as it alludes to the colour or phone screens that are not lighting up with text messages. We also discuss the fact that this is the first song Connor self produced, singing toplines for EDM tracks, and more!

Fantasy R&B duo Flöstate join the show to discuss their debut album 'Moments Of Feeling'! Consisting of producer MKSTN and songwriter/multi-instrumentalist, Avery Florence, two worlds collide creating multi-instrumental soundscapes and virtuous vocals. The project was recorded over the course of a few years, mainly in bedroom studios and cabins. Containing themes of connection to others, connection to self, romance, surrealism and etherealism, the ebb and flow of water, being in a flow state, as a muse spirit while navigating life experiences. Blending chill, washed-out, electronic, R&B, dream pop, psychedelic pop with meaningful lyrics, the collaborative album uses themes of escapism to in fact, return to our natural state as humans in the universe, taking you through a dream before returning to reality.

Songwriter, producer, artist, & multi-instrumentalist hill of iamhill gives us a look into her latest single 'I Need To Cry', & her upcoming album 'Sellout"! 'I Need To Cry' reinforces the vulnerability that has been heard throughout the songs hill has shared over the last few months. I Need To Cry not only expresses human desires, but sheds light on adverse effects of pharmaceuticals. 'Sellout' is centred around the way our lives have become increasingly non-human and the idea that "We were not built - nor have we evolved - to manage this shift around human life intermixed with western values." The album was written and produced by iamhill and Mike Schlosser Sonically, 'Sellout' has a signature rawness, complimented by hill and Mike's alt approach to songwriting, never colouring within the lines when it comes to production. We also take time to discuss 3 other singles and the visualizers that represent them, stepping in to the world of web3 and NFT's, and much more!
