On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by JP Saxe.

Whether it’s for his own solo work or the myriad of artists he works with, Saxe wears his heart on sleeve, transforming reflections on love and grief into irresistibly relatable songs.

Following 2023’s A Grey Area, Saxe has returned with the new single “Safe,” which he premiered at a benefit show for LA wildfires at NYC’s Bowery Ballroom in January.

In a wide-spanning conversation with Madden, the Grammy-nominated musician opens up about the loss of his mother, writing songs for Sabrina Carpenter and Lewis Capaldi, and his upcoming album, Articulate Excuses.

Listen to their conversation on Artist Friendly wherever you listen to podcasts. You can also watch the episode over at Veeps.
