The art of the protest song is tracked throughout music history, while an extended conversation with singer-songwriter and activist MILCK anchors our journey.Following our history lesson, MILCK explains the origin story behind eventual Women’s March anthem, “Quiet.” She then ponders the role of art in mobilization, and she details her Chinese-American background and perspective. In January 2019, NPR looked back on “Quiet” and its impact on the march, saying that it both “caught fire overnight,” as discussed here, and is a song that’s “still ringing” out for those who connect with its message."Respect: The Women of Atlantic" is a special series on What’d I Say.

For a while, ABIR’s songwriting didn’t quite match her reality. Not having been in one, she was "writing these heartbreaking songs as if I'd been in a 10-year relationship.”But as she rose through the NYC pop scene, and upon discovery by Atlantic Records in an opening show slot, it’s been an authentic adjustment. Hearing her story will illustrate that progression, while also letting you in on her early attachment to Keyshia Cole, and explaining why she decided on “MINT” for her 2018 EP title. Simply put, you’ll meet a rising creative at peace with herself, along with the life experiences she now has to draw upon."Respect: The Women of Atlantic" is a special series on What’d I Say.

A childhood fandom (and eventual tattoo) of Elvis. A deep love of My Chemical Romance and concept records. A range of influences stretching from Taylor Swift to Danzig.With such diverse touchstones, you wouldn’t expect Atlantic Records artist Goody Grace to be so polished, to have such a focused sound, to establish an aesthetic all his own. But that’s exactly what he’s done through full length record “Infinite,” and a slew of buzzed-about singles like “Scumbag" featuring blink-182, and the career kick-off of “Memories.”Through our conversation, you’ll discover how he blends those influences, plus how he started making music at around 12 years old and what song from The Smiths gives him goosebumps.JeffersonStudios.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When songwriting trio A R I Z O N A talks creativity, it’s in lockstep with authenticity. “It's a funny sort of thing to pursue, because there's being creative in a way that's authentic to you, and then there's being creative for the sake of being creative. And so sometimes when you're down the rabbit hole, you can cross over.”This sort of honest and enlightened take on the music world sets the tone for the remainder of a lively conversation, which stretches from the late-night creation of “Let Me Touch Your Fire,” to the idea of being each others’ “rock in the ground” while “doing one of the craziest jobs,” aka making music. No matter what the topic covered — yes, there’s even a discussion about “Taylor Ham vs. Pork Roll” — you can be sure you’re getting the most authentic versions of Zachary Charles, Nate Esquite, and David Labuguen.You can now listen to "ASYLUM," the sophomore album from the group.JeffersonStudios.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Prior to landing at Neon Gold and Atlantic Records, Matt Maeson honed his skills on some daunting stages. As part of his family’s ministry, he played “songs about salvation” at prisons, and “in front of strippers and Hell's Angels at Sturgis, one of the biggest motorcycle rallies in the world.” There was plenty in between, but eventually, his first songs would go online in 2015 and 2016.We pick up the story with his 2018 release, “The Hearse,” while Maeson also discusses his admiration for fellow songwriter Andy Hull, his surprising love of Troye Sivan, and how he ended up in Nicaragua, writing some of that EP.AtlanticPodcasts.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
