One of the biggest songs at the moment – ‘If The World Was Ending’ – was almost prophetic.

This song by JP Saxe and now girlfriend, Julia Michaels, was released in November last year. Little did they know what lay ahead for the entire world.

On Saturday, 27 June 2020, following the song, which charted at no.6 on the Kfm Top 40, Carl Wastie called up the young Canadian-American star to find out more about him, as well as this prophetic track.

During the interview, Carl got JP’s prediction on what we can expect from 2021, and also got to know the man on a real level, as he opened up about love and fear.
