  The Tove Lo Interview: Rejecting Popstar Tropes, Embracing The Darkness On 'Estrus' & Perfect Swedish Pop

  Sep 30, 202649 minS2

  Tove Lo has had a very interesting career. Her first album 'Queen Of The Clouds' landed her in the mainstream quickly but ever since then she's taken left turns. Rather than attempting to repeat previous success, she's followed her artistic instinct which pulls through stronger than ever on 'Estrus'. I sat down with Tove on the day the album was released to talk about how she got there after 'Dirt Femme'. This is a career-spanning conversation touching on everything from 'Talking Body' to how she found her freedom as an independent artist. Of course, we also had to talk about fellow Swedish pop icon Robyn. Make sure you're following us on Instagram for the clips & more.

  The Carly Rae Jepsen Interview: How She Shaped Pop Music In Her Own Way, Her Most Ambitious Album Yet & Pop Classics

  Sep 22, 202658 minS2

  Carly Rae Jepsen loves pop music but on her own terms. She burst into the spotlight with one of the very early viral moment 'Call Me Maybe' but since then has operated in her own realm, driven by whatever feels good to her. As a result, she's formed a dedicated fanbase that will follow her in whichever direction she chooses. The latest pivot is one of her most ambitious yet. 'Day And Night', a double album, sees her take her time traversing new territory as she revels in the euphoria of love. Since 'The Lonliest Time', she's been married and had a baby. It's given her a new perspective by which to approach this new album. We go into it in depth here and, of course, discuss the classics too. Follow The Pop Pod on Instagram for more.

  The Shygirl Interview: Radical Positivity, Madonna and A New Album ‘Swallow!’

  Sep 10, 202658 minS2

  Shygirl has announced her second album, 'Swallow!'. It's a positive, uplifting and sometimes menacing record that balances desire and contentment. She's dug into UK dance references but also blended it with her love for indie music - a sound that I think will surprise and excite fans.I sat down with Shygirl to discuss the new album at large but also dig into some of the references from The Prodigy to U2. Of course, we also had to get into the pop side of things too and chat Madonna and Britney Spears, amongst others. Follow The Pop Pod on Instagram .
