  • Episode 7 - Billie Eilish's 'Happier Than Ever'
    Oct 7 2023

    Billie Eilish's second album 'Happier Than Ever' was a big turning point for her. Her first album was a streaming giant but this album marked a pointed move to establish herself as an artist without worrying about the hits. The result was a cohesive, mature and startingly honest album that's both wildly experimental while also being classic.

    In this episode, we talk about how important this album was for positioning her as an artist and also why it perhaps didn't garner the same success as her debut.

  • Episode 6 - Ariana Grande's 'Sweetener'
    Sep 22 2023

    Ariana Grande makes her Flopstars debut with her divisive fourth album which came after a traumatic time and signalled the start of a creatively fluid period for her. It's an important album in her discography, one that sees her stepping into her own and learning to react to very personal situations in real-time. It wasn't for everyone but it was for us and we explore that on this week's pod.
