Last summer Taylor Swift appeared to be on top of the world. Not only was she dominating the music industry but she was also (on the whole) very admired by the public. However, things have changed and rather drastically too. With the release of her 11th studio album 'The Tortured Poets Department', Taylor's gone from being one of the most liked female pop stars in the industry, to one of the most hated. In this episode of Six Notes of Separation, I'll be taking you through why everyone's been left feeling as though they're the 'tortured poets' and if the heat this album's caused is at all justifiable.

As for the rules of Six Notes, I explain how Taylor is linked to last episode's 'Jack Antonoff', looking over their friendship and collaboration history. I'll be back shortly with another episode on another artist- what do you think will be their connection to Taylor?

TikTok has seen the rise of many artists, it most noticeably blowing up pop artists who then become international sensations. What many people don't know however, is that Jack Antonoff is the man behind the music, he's the man who's been single-handedly shaping the sound of the past decade. In this episode of 'Six Notes', I'll be giving you a crash course on who Jack Antonoff is and why he's such an instrumental part of the music industry.

As for the rules of 'Six Notes of Separation', I explain in this episode how Jack Antonoff relates to the previous episode I did on 'the rap beef' that took place a couple of months ago between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. Get ready for the next episode where I'll be exploring a new artist- what connection do you think they'll have to Jack?

April and May of this year saw the music industry heating up with some thick tension in the rap and hip hop scene. The culprits for such tension are the music legends Kendrick Lamar and Drake. In this episode, I'll be giving a crash course on the so-called 'rap beef', it gets messy, it gets complicated but it's utterly thrilling! If you couldn't tell, I LOVE a bit of drama.

As for the rules of 'Six Notes of Separation', I explain in this episode how Kendrick and Drake relates to the previous episode I did on Billie Eilish. Get ready for the next episode where I'll be exploring a new artist. What connection do you think they'll have to the rap beef?

Billie Eilish's third studio album 'HIT ME HARD AND SOFT' is her most successful album to date. She's going to be kicking off the first ever episode of 'Six Notes of Separation' as I dive into everything I know about the songs and the period of her life in which she made and released this record. It feels pretty special to live in the same time as Billie and Finneas and see how their musical works cause a wave of talk in the industry time and time again. Get ready for the next episode where I'll be exploring a new artist. What connection do you think will lead them to Billie?

I'm Helena and this is my new podcast 'Six Notes of Separation'.

Each week I'm going to be exploring a musician or band, diving into their lives and musical works, BUT HERE'S THE TWIST- the succeeding episode I do on an artist will have to be linked to the previous episode in some way. Whether it's through a producer in common, references in song lyrics, collaborations or more, I want to explore the web that is the music industry.

I hope you all join me in the spiral we're about to go down!
