This Song Is Yours

Our guest this week is  Rochelle Jordan. The London-born, LA-based alt-RnB and soul artist has spent over fifteen years honing her craft, accumulating more than 200 million global streams and critical acclaim from Pitchfork, BBC Music, NPR, and The New York Times, with collaborations alongside Kaytranada and Dem Funk among her credits. Last year's Through The Wall — her third full-length record — was a critical success, finding its way onto best-of lists across the board at year's end. On today's episode, Rochelle joins us to talk about the making of Through The Wall and its critical reception, her long-running working relationship with producer KLSH and what makes it so effective, her earliest introduction to songwriting, and what fans can expect from her upcoming Australian shows.

Our guest this week is Matt Berninger. Best known as the frontman and lyrical voice of The National, he has spent the better part of two decades helping craft one of the most celebrated catalogues in modern indie rock, from the brooding intimacy of Boxer through to Sleep Well Beast, which earned the band their first Grammy Award. His baritone voice and deeply literary songwriting have made him one of the most distinctive and revered figures of his generation. This month, he brings his solo project to Australia for the very first time, touring behind Get Sunk in what are shaping up to be some of the most highly anticipated shows of the year. On today's episode, Matt joins us to talk about what separates his solo shows from a night with The National, the making of Get Sunk and the creative headspace behind it, and how one of the indie generation's finest songwriters first found his way into writing songs.

Our guest this week is Jena Malone. The actress and musician has spent decades building one of the most fascinating and wide-ranging creative careers in entertainment, delivering memorable performances across films like Stepmom, Donnie Darko, and the Hunger Games franchise while also pursuing her songwriting through projects like The Shoe and Jena Malone and the Blood Stains. Last week she released ‘Flowers for Men’, her debut album under her own name and a distinctly imaginative record that weaves together sci-fi influences and alt-country textures. On today's episode, Jena joins us on the podcast to talk about why now felt like the right moment to make a solo record under her own name, her approach to songwriting and the freedom that comes with it, and whether there's a world where her film and music careers might one day meet on the big screen.

Our guest this week is Thundercat, and we couldn't have picked a better one to mark our 500th episode. The Los Angeles-born bassist, vocalist, and producer has built a reputation as one of the most gifted and distinctive voices in contemporary music, an artist who has never been content to stay in one place, with a body of work that pulls from funk, jazz, soul, and avant-garde R&B. A Grammy Award-winner whose collaborations with Kendrick Lamar, Flying Lotus, and the late Mac Miller have made him as celebrated on other people's records as his own, with his records ‘Drunk’ and ‘It Is What It Is’ standing as benchmarks of his solo work. Last month, he released Distracted, his first album in six years, and he's currently in Australia on tour in support. On today's episode, Thundercat joins us to discuss what it felt like to come back with a new record after such a long absence, the qualities he seeks out in a collaborator, and the deeply personal process behind She Knows Too Much, made in conjunction with Mac Miller's estate.
