• Myles Smith Talks Success of "Stargazing," Advice from Ed Sheeran & His First Heartbreak

  Hailing from Luton, England, Myles Smith cut his teeth playing open mic nights in pubs to disinterested punters before he even hit his teens (and yes he was underage; they’re not quite so strict over there). So when fame and acclaim finally found him in 2024, thanks to his now international smash and viral sensation ‘Stargazing,’ he was more than ready to get onstage and wow audiences the world over. Cue many lighters held aloft.Now at 26, Myles is collabing with Shaboozey (on ‘Blink Twice’), touring with Ed Sheeran, and getting phone calls from Lainey Wilson because she wants to hop on his track (‘Nice to Meet You’). We dive into all of this, plus his process, and the powerful story behind his single ‘My First Heartbreak’—a raw and heartfelt reflection on the pain he and his family experienced when his father walked away during his childhood. If you like Mumford and Sons, Myles is your guy. His debut album A Minute, A Moment… is out May 23.

• d4vd Talks New Album 'Withered,' "Feel It," and the success of "Romantic Homicide"

  Unless you’ve been living without an internet connection, you know d4vd — the Texas-teen-turned-newly-20 whose 2022 track ‘Romantic Homicide’ now has 1.5 billion streams and counting. It’s a song that he made on his phone, in his sister’s closet, in just 30 minutes and it changed his life forever. We last caught up with d4vd back in 2023. Since then the Fortnite-obsessed artist has performed all over the world, toured with SZA, released 40 tracks, written and recorded several LPs and scrapped them, before finally going back to his roots — or back to the closet — with a little help from Ryan Tedder and Kali Uchis, amongst other collaborators, to create Withered, a concept album that’s the first step in his grand vision for his art. A record that pulls from influences such as from The Smiths, Chicken Little, Cigarettes After Sex, Anime, Jeff Buckley deep cuts, Two Door Cinema Club, and more.We talk about all this plus what happened to his nine facial piercings, how the Invisible String Theory is woven into his work, heartbreak, homeschooling, how God is his therapist, what he learned from Benny Blanco, and when the hell can we hear the song he made with Dominic Fike? Plus, he discusses roping Pokimane and Jason the Ween into his video for ‘What Are You Waiting For,’ and he plays us a track he wrote and recorded in the green room while waiting to come on the show, probably in the same time it takes to eat a complimentary snack, which has to be a first.

• Coco Jones Talks Debut Album, ICU, Britney Spears & Bel-Air

  Way back in 2012, the Disney film Let It Shine, changed Coco’s life. But those dreams disintegrated when her LP was shelved and the movie sequel fell apart. Coco went back to school in Tennessee, and kept on grafting, auditioning, writing and releasing music independently while honing her craft. But when a fan tweeted “What happened to Coco Jones?” in 2020 she decided to jump on live and serve tea: where she’d been, what she’d been up to, plus her experiences with colorism and being a child star with a singing voice that belied her young years. The Grammy winner stopped into the studio for the second time (more on that in the interview) to talk about all this, plus her upbringing, treading the musical boards in Jersey, and her star turn as Hilary Banks on the hit reboot Bel Air. She also gives us the skinny on her breakout hit ‘ICU,’ her debut album ‘Why Not More?’, and what the hell did Bella and Edward name their kid in the Twilight series?! A very important question.

• DJO Talks Creating "The Crux," Success of "End of Beginning" & Stranger Things Season 5

  You probably know Joe Keery as Steve Harrington from Stranger Things, the zeitgeist-defining show that was Keery’s big — and honestly first — break, which then went on to define and change the following decade of his life. But the Massachusetts-born artist has been making music for as long as he’s been acting, first as part of Post Animal, with friends he made while studying theater in Chicago, and then under the solo moniker Djo (the D is silent).We sat down with the 32-year-old to talk about his third album The Crux, an incredible compendium of classic songwriting, recorded at NYC’s legendary Electric Lady Studios. The record combines his love of Paul McCartney, ELO’s Jeff Lynn, The Beach Boys, and The Beatles, not to mention The Strokes, The Cars, glam rock, LCD Soundsystem, and MGMT, and the result is a collection that’s rich and textured and catchy as hell. What Keery thought was going to be a break up album wound up spinning off into a beautiful exploration of the grounding forces of family and friends. Keery discusses his beginnings, his process, his family, and his monster hit ‘End of Beginning’ — 1.4 billion streams and counting. Plus his newfound clarity on what matters, romantic relationships, the ending of Stranger Things, what he swiped from set, partying with Charli XCX, and much more.Stream "The Crux" ►►https://tinyurl.com/3akyrv49SUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

• Tanner Adell Talks Leaving LDS, Beyoncé, Buckle Bunny and New Single “Going Blonde”

  Tanner Adell defies categorization. Raised between Wyoming and So-Cal in a Mormon household, this 28-year-old, bi-racial, country-loving singer who also embraces the syncopation and sass of hip-hop, moved to Nashville to make it, but not before she’d completed her LDS mission in Sweden. Nowadays she’s making waves not only with hits like ‘Buckle Bunny’ and ‘Trailer Park Barbie,’ but also as one of the harmonizing voices on Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter renditions of ‘Blackbirrd’ and ‘Ameriican Requiem.’’ We talk about all this, plus her Rodeo queen mom, her experience with LDS and leaving the church, her scrappy, DIY beginnings, and embracing her pansexuality. We also get into the story behind her latest single ‘Going Blonde’ — an incredibly moving ode to her birth mother. Oh, and we try to give her buddy Shaquille O’Neal a call.
