Hunter opens up about the freedom of making music on his own terms, why this project had to wait until he was ready to live it, and how songs like “Human Again,” “Too Late,” “The Ones You Love,” and “Around the Sun” reflect growth, grief, hope, and the complicated process of becoming who you’re meant to be. Along the way, the conversation stretches beyond the record into flying lessons, creative discipline, rare instruments, watches, mentors like Elton John, and the mindset shift from fearing “what if” to asking what happens if it all works out.

After more than 20 years away from music, the singer behind the Y2K hit “I Wanna Be Bad” returns with a deeply personal new album titled Amanda — named after her birth name and a reflection of who she is today.

In this episode of the Spout Podcast, Willa opens up about her return to music, navigating fame during the early-2000s pop boom, and the journey that led her back to the studio.

She shares stories from the peak of the TRL era, working alongside pop icons like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson, and Mandy Moore, and how the industry often pitted her against them.

Willa also discusses the deeply personal experiences that shaped this new chapter, including her diagnosis with PNES seizures, the importance of mental health for artists, and why she chose to return as an independent artist in full control of her music.

Plus, she reflects on her pivot into entrepreneurship, building a successful interior design business, and why stepping away from music may have been the best decision she ever made.

Now, she’s ready to return to the stage with her first-ever headline tour and a new body of work that represents her most authentic self.

Rachel Grae joins Tamara Dhia to unpack her debut album Turned Into Me, out March 6. She describes the record as “a hug to my younger self,” built in emotional pairs that contrast past and present — from codependency to independence, toxic love to healthy relationships, and the shift from shrinking herself to standing firm.

Rachel shares the turning point behind the empowering opener “Run With the River,” the vulnerable rewrite that became “Come a Day,” and the anger-fueled clarity of “Me and Your Ego.” She also talks candidly about dating as a songwriter, the promise she once made not to write a bad song about someone, and the lyric that captures the album’s core: “I’m sorry for her, but I’m grateful she turned into me.”

The conversation revisits the TikTok moment that pushed “Friend Like Me” into the spotlight — filmed casually while making eggs — and what that taught her about authenticity, audience connection, and letting go of perfection. Rachel discusses performing unreleased songs on tour in the UK and Europe, preparing for a move to Nashville, and why she believes the city’s songwriting culture hits differently.

She also reflects on “Outsider,” the early release that built her community, and how healing has changed the way she writes — and the way she sees herself.
