Surprise! We’re back with a very special episode that may be our last one.

Things are changing in our world as both Alicia and Graham are about to start new jobs. While we’re going to continue talking about music, we’re not sure what the future of the show looks like, so we had to record one more episode.

We’ve decided to go out by talking about new music to prove how young and cool we are. We’ll check out some of the most popular hits from the last couple of years and offer our Elder Millennial takes on what the kids are listening to.

It’s the season finale of Music at Work! This week we’re talking one-hit wonders.

How can an artist conjure up a massive global hit but never again crack that code? It’s one of music’s greatest mysteries. We’ll listen to some of our favourite hits from artists who were never able to recreate the magic and ask why creativity is so fickle.

We’ll also reflect on some favourite moments of our first season and give a taste of what is to come in Season 2.
