HEAVY Music Interviews
The End Is Just The Beginning With JAKOB NOWELL From SUBLIME

HEAVY Music Interviews

Interview by Kris PetersThirty years after the tragic loss of frontman Bradley Nowell, California's premier ska-punk icons Sublime have defied the impossible. The band has returned with their new album Until the Sun Explodes (June 15), their first full-length studio album of entirely original material since 1996. Arriving via Atlantic Records, this highly anticipated 21-track LP is a monumental generational handoff. Stepping into the frontman role is Bradley's son, Jakob Nowell, who unites with original founding members Eric Wilson (bass) and Bud Gaugh (drums) to create a record that feels less like a modern reboot and more like a beautifully crafted epilogue.To capture the definitive, sun-soaked identity of the band, Jakob and producer Jon Joseph meticulously catalogued every chord progression, sonic texture, and lyrical boundary of the classic Sublime discography. The result is a vibrant resurrection of their signature formula: an intoxicating blend of reggae-infused punk, dub, hip-hop, and Southern California absurdism. The rollout has already proven historically successful; the explosive lead single Ensenada spent eight weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's Alternative Airplay chart, eclipsing the chart-topping run of their 1996 timeless hit What I Got.While the music captures the nostalgic energy of the 1990s, the thematic core of the album rests heavily on legacy, sobriety, and profound gratitude. On the poignant title track, Until the Sun Explodes, Jakob's vocals eerily mirror his father's chill cadence as he sings directly to Bradley's memory: “Until the sun blows up in the sky/I owe you my life”. Rather than trying to rewrite history, Jakob has explicitly framed this album as a final, heartfelt thank-you letter to his father and the fans who kept the scene alive.HEAVY sat down with Jakob to dive deeper. We ask about the difficulties he faced with making an album that represented the entire career of Sublime, while still making it sound fresh and vibrant, asking if he and the rest of the band sat down and studied past releases to get the sound they were after or if it was more of a natural process."A little bit of both," he replied. "There's a lot of study going into it for me and our producer, John. We wanted to really do our work and take this gig seriously. Every single released piece of Sublime media and all of the interviews and the bootlegs, and then going back and listening to all of their influences and all the bands that really made them excited. We wanted to factor all this in so the sounds we were using had some precedent in the Sublime release catalogue, so we weren't just pushing the sound in some random directions for no reason. Then bringing Bud and Eric in to write these songs and fleshing them out with those two, who obviously already know how to make Sublime records, that part was the most natural part."We ask Jakob if he felt much internal or external pressure to get it right on the album."Yeah, yeah," he nodded. "Pressure abounds, for sure. We all deal with pressure differently, but acknowledging it is a big part of the process. I know how many people love Sublime, and I know how much my Father's legacy and memory mean to me and how much the very idea of even doing this might be ill-advised or fraught with peril. I think I had to go into it with that amount of respect. The way that I deal with all those expectations and fears and imposter syndrome is I try to remember at the end of the day, 'okay, this is important and is deserving of my respect, and I'm gonna take this job seriously as a professional'. But at the end of the day, I always say we're not curing cancer here. We're making rock and roll music (laughs). That is something I believe I know how to do."In the full interview, Jakob talks more about the new and final Sublime album, including the musicality present and what they were going for. He tells us about the pressures of not only filling his Father's shoes as frontman, but also personal fears and expectations around doing his Dad justice.We spoke about Jakob's first time fronting Sublime in the studio and how he feels about it, the fact that this is Sublime's final album and what the future holds. The album collaborations were fleshed out, and we talked about Sublime's recent shows at Red Rock Ampitheatre and plans for the rest of the year, plus more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

fWotD Episode 3305: Running Out of Time (song) Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 23 May 2026, is Running Out of Time (song)."Running Out of Time" is a song by the American rock band Paramore. It was released on May 23, 2023, by Atlantic Records as the fourth single from the band's sixth studio album This Is Why (2023). Hayley Williams, Taylor York, and Zac Farro wrote the song in the early stages of the album's production, and Carlos de la Garza produced it. The band premiered the song at a concert at the Grand Ole Opry on February 7, 2023, and performed it on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on February 14.Described by critics as a pop-rock and dance-rock song, "Running Out of Time" deals with time management and comments on social anxieties over death, aging, and losing friends. Williams said the song was influenced by her personal struggle with punctuality and her friendship with Taylor Swift. Critics positively reviewed the song, praising its lyrics as playful and its composition as well-balanced. In 2023, the song peaked on the New Zealand Hot Singles chart, the UK Singles Chart, and the Billboard Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Rock Airplay charts in the United States, and ranked on Billboard's year-end Alternative Airplay chart.Ivanna Borin directed a music video for "Running Out of Time" that Paramore released on February 16, 2023. In the video, Williams enters an Alice in Wonderland-themed world, where she confronts the anxieties addressed in the song. The video received praise for its costuming, including vintage Vivienne Westwood and contemporary Rodarte outfits.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:48 UTC on Saturday, 23 May 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Running Out of Time (song) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Joanna.

This week the people demanded it, and we complied! Therefore, we give you “Grave Mistake: ZEBRA Shoulda Been Huge!!!”. This is our celebration of an amazing power trio from New Orleans / Long Island that has been largely forgotten in the pantheon of rock n' roll. They also happen to be very musically proficient, with a bona fide guitar god in the band that rarely gets the praise he deserves!  This episode is rooted in our Should Have Been category. This is a band that Captain Content casually mentioned a few weeks ago and our socials lit up like a Christmas tree. While their first album went gold in the US, they have been largely forgotten in the hard rock world today. We think they should be remembered as titans of rock alongside the likes of RUSH and TRIUMPH! Songs this week include: Zebra - “Tell Me What You Want” from Zebra (1983) Zebra - “As I Said Before” from Zebra (1983) Zebra - “No Tellin' Lies” from No Tellin' Lies (1984) Zebra - “Drive Me Crazy” from No Tellin' Lies (1984) Zebra - “Better Not Call” from 3.V (1986) Zebra - “Wait Until The Summer's Gone” from Zebra Live (1990) Zebra - “K.K.

The Flood band room is usually a rather raucous place — rocking tunes, loud talk, lots of laughter — but often that mood can turn on a dime to something softer, even almost fragile. We hadn't done this old Jackson Browne song for years, but something last week — about watching the beautiful spring evening come falling in, seeing those long shadows rolling down over the newly green leaves outside our windows — brought this song back to mind.About the Song“Jamaica Say You Will,” which Browne wrote in 1969 when he was just 20 years old, not only launched the singer/songwriter's career, but also even helped found the record company that would bring his music to the world.The story goes that artist manager David Geffen signed Browne in 1970 after listening to a demo of this specific song. Right away, Geffen started searching for a record contact for his new artist.At one point, he pitched Browne to Atlantic Records president Ahmet Ertegun, saying, “You'll make a lot of money.” To that, Ertegun reportedly replied, “You know what, David? I have a lot of money. Why don't you start a record company and then you'll have a lot of money.”A year later, Geffen partnered with his old friend Elliot Roberts to create Asylum Records with the help of Ertegun, who put up the initial funds. Atlantic Records distributed Asylum Records with the profits split 50/50.Jackson Browne was one of first artists whom Geffen and Roberts signed for Asylum, and “Jamaica Say She Will” was the opening track of Browne's self-titled debut album when it was released in September 1972. Browne was quickly joined on the new label that same year by Linda Ronstadt, John David Souther, David Blue, Joni Mitchell, Glenn Frey and others.For more about the song's back story, see our earlier Flood Watch article by clicking here.“Jamaica” is one of several Jackson Browne songs in The Flood's repertoire. As reported elsewhere in Flood Watch, from its earliest days the band has played “These Days” from Browne's second album, For Everyman.

What happens when you leave behind security, move across countries with almost no plan, and trust that life will somehow work out? I talk with stand-up comic and creative entrepreneur Sadia Carone about her wild path from Ohio to Paris, New York, Brazil, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas. Sadia shares how she walked away from a difficult family life, built careers in software testing and entertainment, survived 9/11 in New York, took huge risks to chase comedy and acting, and learned how to handle rejection, failure, and negative people without losing herself. You will hear honest lessons about resilience, creativity, career pivots, faith, comedy, and why success is rarely instant. Highlights: 00:01:32 – How music helped Sadia teach English in Paris. 00:10:32 – Why she left tech to pursue comedy and acting. 00:14:45 – What it was like living in New York during 9/11. 00:27:07 – Why she moved to Las Vegas with no real plan. 00:35:41 – How faith helped her through major setbacks. 00:51:21 – Why creative careers take patience and preparation. About the Guest: SADIA CARONE was born in the Midwest and has since lived in Paris, France and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She currently lives in Las Vegas, Nevada where she regularly performs stand-up comedy. Sadia was brought up to choose "the safe path" and she graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia with a BA English and a BA in French. She wanted to go to music school  -- but at the time, that was out of the question ( = her parents forbid it). Well her parents were wrong! Sadia took voice lessons and started writing songs. Atlantic Records was going to sign her -- then 9/11 happened and both the record executives and her music producer had other things to deal with.  And now Sadia has a comedy album! She performs her original songs on stage! Along the way, she got her SAG card (national actors' union) and earlier this year, she taught a stand-up comedy workshop in Reno, Nevada for the SAG Conservatory! Sadia's approach to life is "follow your heart" and "carefully assess the risks". In other words -- timing is everything! Do your research. Make informed decisions. Then when the time is right -- take that leap of faith! Sadia's career highlights include   * IT manager for the USPTO * software tester for the National Red Cross HQ * TEDx Speaker * Host, Jimmy Kimmel's Comedy Club * Karaoke DJ at Vegas #1 karaoke spot * Tour Guide, Big Bus Las Vegas * Yellow M&M, The M&M Store in Las Vegas * Apartment Building Manager, West Hollywood / Northern Hollywood / Studio City, California  * Official SongBird and Queen of Culture and Creativity, Shitshow Creative * Founder, Music for Emotions which received a grant from SEED Vegas.

The Detroit-born Hayden was the first artist to perform at the first-ever Fridays at The Station event, in April 2025. She has performed and recorded with a number of leading musicians from the 1980s onwards and is considered one of the best acoustical bassists in the country. She began performing at age 15 under the tutelage of master trumpeter Marcus Belgrave and saxophonist Wendell Harrison. She would go on to perform with legends such as Regina Carter, Nancy Wilson, Lionel Hampton and George Benson. She also received the Kresge Eminent Artist Award in 2025, and is widely recognized as an advocate for the preservation of the cultural and artistic legacy of jazz. She is a co-founder of the Grammy-nominated ensemble Straight Ahead—the first all-woman jazz ensemble signed to Atlantic Records. Over the years, members of the band have shared the concert stage with a who's-who of the music world, including Ray Charles, Tony Bennett, George Duke, Stanley Clark, the Yellowjackets and Dianne Reeves. “Straight Ahead will present a celebration of women as creatives, composers, arrangers and conceptualists,” Hayden said. “The band will open a musical conversation, engaging the audience in themes of womanhood, power and intentionally creating a space where women are uplifted.” Featuring Hayden on bass, Alina Morr on keys, Gayelynn McKinney on drums, Ingrid Racine on trumpet and the vocal stylings of Kymberli Wright. Widely recognized for their eclectic and soulful approach to creating music, the Straight Ahead sound ranges comfortably from jazz, to Latin music and jazzy hip-hop.

With flag football officially heading to the Olympics, there's a bigger story that hasn't been told about the women who play football. Andra Douglas is one of those women. A former national champion in rugby and quarterback in women's tackle football, she later became a creative executive at Atlantic Records—and for nearly two decades owned the two-time national champion New York Sharks women's pro football team. She's been at the center of a sports world most people don't even realize exists. Until now. As women's football finally gets its Olympic spotlight, Andra can speak candidly about: The business, politics, and culture behind women's sports How her career spans both professional sports and the music industry Her personal experience as a female athlete in an often-misunderstood sport Her new novel, Changing Cadence, is part memoir, part novel, and follows a woman facing the end of her career in women's tackle football, while her mother adjusts to life in Florida at an assisted living community. As both women navigate change, an unexpected connection forms between a New York football team and a group of small-town seniors. Andra Douglas' story is both heartfelt and humorous, and her experience in the world of women's sports is sure to delight and inspire your audience. Billie Jean King called her book, "more than a sports story; it is a love letter to those who are committed to being their authentic selves." Andra is thoughtful, funny, and not afraid to challenge the narrative—exactly the kind of voice that sparks a real conversation.

Despite the allusion in the title, today's song has no spiritual content or religious references. It's just a description of life on the road with a hard rock band that's paying its dues. And, as the band members would tell you, they were–and are–a rock band, not a punk band, thank you very much. AC/DC was formed in 1973 by brothers Malcolm and Angus Young in their hometown of Sydney, Australia. The band name came from an electrical adapter on a sewing machine owned by their sister and not, dear reader, from the street slang that hints at one's sexual orientation. Within two months, the brothers Young were in the studio at their first recording sessions, and five months after that's they were touring Australia supporting and opening for Lou Reed. Their first lead singer, Bon Scott, joined the band in time to record their first studio album, High Voltage, in November 1974. That record was released in a limited market at first, but it did give the band its first Top 20 hit (“Baby, Please Don’t Go”) and their first radio play in the United States. The follow-up, T.N.T., led to an international deal with Atlantic Records in 1976. The next five years were undoubtedly the golden years for the band. Their third offering, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, was released in late 1976, and the band toured extensively around Australia, Europe and the Americas for the better part of the next three years. Put yourself in their shoes — 4 albums in as many years, with each album requiring at least 128 concerts a year — and you'd start to think of the road as being hellish. And that's the origin of the song we dive into in this episode.

Join Here:⁠ ⁠⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠In this segment, Analytic Dreamz breaks down rising alt-pop artist Bella Kay and her standout track “iloveitiloveitiloveit.” Born Bella K. Williams in 2006 in Texas and now 19 years old, Bella Kay is based in Orlando, Florida. Her style blends alternative-pop and indie pop with a signature bedroom-pop aesthetic, acoustic grit, and intimate emotional vocals. Influenced by Olivia Rodrigo and Gracie Abrams, she gained early attention through raw, viral songs about heartbreak, identity, and toxic relationships. Her 2025 EP sick to my stomach featured the breakout track “The Sick,” which surpassed 115 million streams. She is currently signed to Atlantic Records.The song “iloveitiloveitiloveit,” released on January 11, 2026, runs 3 minutes and 3 seconds and serves as a track from her upcoming EP A Couple Minutes Out (February 2026). Written by Bella Kay and Alexis Kesselman and produced by Idarose, the track explores addiction to toxic relationships with a central theme of emotional dependency on chaos and drama, highlighted by the key lyric “I love it when we fight.” It acts as a spiritual sequel to her earlier hit “The Sick.”The rollout began with organic virality on TikTok in December 2025, generating over 100,000 user-created videos by February 2026. This fan-driven momentum produced 15 million global streams before any major radio push. Atlantic later amplified the release, leading to strong chart performance. In the United States, the song debuted at #66 on the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at #18, while reaching #2 on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs. Globally, it peaked at #13 on the Billboard Global 200. In the United Kingdom it reached #2 on the UK Singles Chart, hit #1 in Ireland and Norway, #3 in Australia and New Zealand, and #10 in Canada. Certifications include UK Silver (200,000 units) and Australian Gold (35,000 units), achieved within roughly two to three months.Streaming metrics show approximately 144 million Spotify streams total, with the track charting on daily viral lists in 14 countries including the US and UK. U.S. on-demand streams grew from 1.46 million in week one to 3.75 million in week three, representing a 156% increase. Radio impact began with addition to U.S. CHR formats on March 10, 2026, boosting its pop crossover. Additional amplification came through fan-generated remixes, lyric videos, and multi-platform activity on YouTube and SoundCloud.Analytic Dreamz analyzes how “iloveitiloveitiloveit” exemplifies a successful organic-to-mainstream pipeline. The track's emotional relatability and TikTok-native structure drove early virality with minimal initial promotion, later scaled by Atlantic Records. This strategy enabled genre crossover from indie/alt roots into mainstream pop, delivering rapid certifications and international reach. The song positions Bella Kay as an emerging Gen Z alt-pop crossover star with proven streaming power and global appeal.This segment explores the key metrics, growth patterns, and strategic elements behind one of 2026's fastest-rising breakout hits.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

On February 20, 2026, the Kenilworth Library hosted an intimate evening with Dick Bauerle, a celebrated Buffalo Music Hall of Fame inductee. Bauerle captivated the audience with stories from his expansive musical journey, offering a rare glimpse into the life of a professional musician. A poignant highlight of the night was Bauerle's tribute to the late Art Kubera, emphasizing Kubera's profound and lasting influence on the Western New York music scene. The event felt even more historic with fellow Hall of Famer Carol Jean Fremy Swist in attendance. Swist added her own voice to the tribute, sharing personal reflections on her professional association with Mr. Kubera, further cementing his legacy as a cornerstone of the local industry. From a $20 acoustic guitar inspired by the Beatles' debut to the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame, Dick Bauerle's career is a masterclass in musical evolution. A veteran of the Western New York scene, he rose to prominence with the legendary band Hardtimes before co-founding Select Sound Studios in 1975. As an elite producer and session guitarist, he's collaborated with icons like Rick James and Paul Shaffer. Whether topping smooth jazz charts on Atlantic Records or landing tracks in Mel Brooks' Spaceballs, Bauerle's "musical muse" has traversed pop, country, and jazz. This is the story of a true sonic architect.

Let Us Know What You Think of the Show!Date: March 11, 2026Name of Podcast: Backstage Pass RadioS10: E5: Denny Somach - Getting the Led Out!SHOW SUMMARY:What if the biggest band in the world won by saying no? Author and hall of fame broadcaster Denny Somach joins us to unpack how Led Zeppelin rewrote the rules—refusing singles, skipping TV, guarding the studio—and still built a global legend on the strength of live shows, mystery, and relentless craft. Drawing on a vast archive, Denny shares the raw voices behind the myth: label chiefs, engineers, publicists, peers, and the band members themselves.We dive into Atlantic Records' unprecedented deal with Zeppelin and why Jimmy Page and Peter Grant's terms created a fortress around the music. Then we head to Headley Grange for a ground-level look at Physical Graffiti, Cashmere's hypnotic power, and the ambient tricks that made John Bonham's drums feel like thunder in a stairwell. Denny opens the vault on rare memorabilia—global picture sleeves that “weren't supposed to exist”—and the touring strategy that transformed college halls into a nationwide campaign. Along the way, we chase the near-mythic: Sabbath and Zeppelin jamming with tape maybe rolling, the XYZ sessions with Page and members of Yes, and a $500 Billy Joel headliner that foreshadowed Allentown.Beyond Zeppelin, Denny explains why classic rock radio lost its catalog and how his show, Rock and Roll for Grown Ups, brings back the songs we loved but stopped hearing—paired with tight interview clips that reveal the stories behind them. It's a conversation about taste, memory, and preservation: what survives, what gets erased, and how to listen with new ears.If you love rock history told by the people who lived it, you'll feel right at home.

Hosted by Analytic Dreamz, this analysis covers the 25-year-old artist's evolution from Hype House founder and TikTok creator to major pop force following his 2025 breakout.“Ordinary” dominated with 10 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, over 2.4 billion global streams, Billboard Top New Artist win, and Best New Artist Grammy nomination—setting a high bar for 2026.“Fever Dream,” produced by Adam Yaron, shifts to upbeat, cinematic pop with glossy synths, driving four-on-the-floor percussion, and romantic euphoria inspired by meeting his wife Kouvr Annon. It marks a strategic pivot to radio-ready hooks from confessional ballads.Early performance (first days as of March 3, 2026): 4.27 million global Spotify debut streams (#12 worldwide, #7 US with 1.33 million US streams), sustained ~2.9M (Feb 28) and ~2.4M (Mar 1) daily. iTunes #1 in US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, Ireland, Slovakia; #3 worldwide. Apple Music #19 global, strong Europe entry.The music video, directed by Andrew Theodore Balasia, features surreal Hollywood chaos: Warren as a celebrity-tour bus driver, horror parody with Kouvr, paparazzi frenzy, Paris Hilton cameo, and wake-up twist—perfect for viral clips.Compared to “Ordinary,” “Fever Dream” shows faster digital surge: immediate #1 iTunes in key markets vs. gradual viral climb, highlighting grown fanbase and algorithmic push.Analytic Dreamz explores reception (catchy earworm with vocal charisma, some overplay concerns), autobiographical roots amid past hardships, and the “Finding Family On The Road” / Little Orphan Alex Live arena tour kicking off Europe (April 2026: Düsseldorf PSD Bank Dome, Amsterdam Ziggo Dome, Paris Accor Arena, London O2, more) then North America (May–July: Bridgestone Arena Nashville, Toyota Center Houston, Madison Square Garden New York, etc.).This launch signals strong Hot 100 Top 10 potential, arena-headliner status, and seamless shift to glossy romantic pop while retaining emotional depth.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/exclusive-contentPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Hosted by Analytic Dreamz, this analysis covers the 9-track, 31-minute album—his first solo project in nearly a decade since 24K Magic (2016)—blending retro-soul, disco-pop, funk, 1970s influences (Curtis Mayfield, Philly soul), and Latin elements like bolero, cha-cha, and mariachi for a crooner-forward, romantic vibe timed near Valentine's.Lead single “I Just Might” (January 9, 2026) debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with retro-funk/disco energy and a Leo Sayer interpolation. Follow-up “Risk It All” dropped with the album, featuring mariachi-styled visuals and wedding-themed romance. Early streaming shows strong momentum on Spotify and Apple Music, boosted by billions from recent hits “Die With a Smile” (with Lady Gaga, 2025 Grammy winner) and “APT.” (with Rosé, Grammy-nominated).Critical reception is mixed: praise for vocal polish, production, and crowd-pleasing retro-soul (Rolling Stone: positive crowd-pleaser; NME: 4/5 mature persona), but some critique homage-heavy predictability and sentimentality (Paste: D+ overly sentimental). Physical editions include translucent red and gold vinyl for collectors.Analytic Dreamz highlights strategic insights: short runtime for high completion/replay rates, playlist-friendly nostalgia, Latin market expansion, wedding/event utility for long-tail streams, catalog halo from legacy smashes (“Just the Way You Are,” “Versace on the Floor”), and steady streaming over viral spikes.The Romantic Tour kicks off early April 2026 in Las Vegas (Allegiant Stadium), spanning North America through late May, Europe (Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Madrid, Milan, London) late June–mid July, and back to U.S./Vancouver by mid-October. Features Anderson .Paak as DJ Pee .Wee, plus select supports like Leon Thomas, Raye, Victoria Monet.This polished, formula-consistent revival reinforces Bruno's retro-romantic brand, leveraging hiatus demand and prior collaborations for sustained commercial longevity.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/exclusive-contentPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Support my new Pareon B-Sides Tier by clicking here Circa Survive was an American rock band formed in Philadelphia in 2004 by vocalist Anthony Green and guitarist Colin Frangicetto, later joined by Brendan Ekstrom, Nick Beard, and Steve Clifford. Green was previously the frontman of Saosin, bringing a distinct voice that became central to Circa Survive's identity. The band released their debut Juturna in 2005 on Equal Vision Records, followed by On Letting Go. Their third album, Blue Sky Noise, arrived in 2010 via Atlantic Records, marking their most mainstream release. In 2012, the band went independent with Violent Waves, before releasing Descensus and The Amulet on Sumerian and Hopeless Records. In 2022, Circa Survive announced an indefinite hiatus, which Green confirmed in 2025 had become a permanent disbandment, later reemerging as the vocalist for L.S. Dunes.

Together, they explore career pivots, identity shifts, and what it really takes to build a meaningful professional life rooted in purpose, curiosity, and personal growth.Key Takeaways:Why career pivots often unfold over years, not months, and why patience mattersHow transferable skills like storytelling and communication unlock new industriesThe power of staying in a beginner's mindset during career transitionsWhy financial planning and timing are critical when leaving corporate rolesHow authentic brand building starts with self-trust, not external validationWhat transformational travel teaches us about growth, leadership, and perspectiveMeet Paula AmatoPaula Amato is a seasoned PR and communications professional whose career spans music and the arts, wellbeing, social impact, and transformational travel.

After launching her career in the music industry at a young age, Paula later moved into independent consulting, where she explored wellness, functional medicine, and personal development. Over time, those interests naturally intersected with her communications expertise, opening the door to transformational travel and purpose-driven work.“My trajectory has not been linear, but every phase taught me something I needed for the next one.”Rather than forcing a fast transition, Paula allowed her pivot to unfold gradually. She spent years learning a new industry, building relationships, and redefining her role—proving that sustainable reinvention often requires curiosity, humility, and the willingness to sit in uncertainty.Insights for Ambitious WomenOne of Paula's most powerful lessons is that career transitions don't require abandoning your past, they require reframing it. She encourages women to recognize their transferable skills and trust that experience gained in one industry often becomes the foundation for success in another.“We all underestimate ourselves.

Join Here: ⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠In this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz delivers a sharp, data-driven analysis of Bruno Mars' explosive lead single “I Just Might,” released January 9, 2026, via Atlantic Records—the first preview of his fourth solo album The Romantic, set for February 27, 2026.Born October 8, 1985, Bruno Mars has sold over 200 million singles globally, earned multiple Grammys, and defined retro revivalism through 1970s disco, funk, soul, and Motown influences. After 24K Magic (2016), Silk Sonic, and recent smashes like “Die With a Smile” and “APT.,” this marks his first solo album in nearly a decade.Co-written/produced by Mars, D'Mile, Philip Lawrence, and Brody Brown, the mid-tempo disco-pop/pop-soul cut layers funk guitar, bold brass, and pristine vocals with nods to Leo Sayer's 1976 classic “You Make Me Feel Like Dancing.” The co-directed music video (Bruno Mars & Daniel Ramos; choreography by Mars & Phil Tayag) features a 1970s soundstage, multi-instrumental performance, and “clone” versions of Mars, quickly surpassing 11 million YouTube views.Early metrics (as of January 13-14, 2026) set career highs: Spotify US debut #1 (1.94M Day-1 streams), Global #3 (4.97M Day-1)—his largest solo Spotify global debut ever. It instantly topped US iTunes and claimed 71% of votes in Billboard's Best New Music poll, outpacing The Kid LAROI, Zach Bryan, and Robyn. Release triggered catalog resurgence, with “That's What I Like” and “Locked Out of Heaven” re-entering Billboard Global 200 charts, placing four Mars tracks simultaneously.Analytic Dreamz examines the strategic rollout: no genre reinvention, but flawless execution leveraging nostalgia, polished showmanship, and fan demand for elite streaming, digital sales, and immediate approval. Positive reception highlights catchiness, dance-floor energy, and nostalgia; pushback includes creative stagnation critiques and renewed cultural appropriation discussions around retro Black music homage. Yet the data underscores commercial dominance, priming The Romantic—a romantic, retro-forward feel-good project—for strong first-week impact, amplified by The Romantic Tour (April–October 2026 across North America, Canada, Europe; presale January 14, onsale January 15; supports DJ Pee .Wee/Anderson .Paak, Leon Thomas, Raye, Victoria Monét).Join Analytic Dreamz for this no-fluff breakdown of Bruno Mars' strategically perfect 2026 comeback launch.

Get access to FREE mixing mini-course: https://MixMasterBundle.com My guest today is Jimmy Douglass, legendary producer, mixer, and engineer whose career spans more than five decades. Jimmy began as a teenager at Atlantic Records in New York, making tape copies and quietly slipping into the back of sessions, where he learned by watching giants like Tom Dowd, Arif Mardin, and Jerry Wexler. He grew up in the era when you had to earn your way into the control room, and those lessons shaped everything that came after. Jimmy talked about working on classic records for Foreigner, including helping mix Follow You, Follow Me when Genesis was still emerging, and cutting his teeth editing music for radio versions - including early work on King Crimson. He also shared memories of the post-punk era, mixing records for Gang of Four and Television, including the iconic Marquee Moon, and how those productions influenced his sense of space, energy, and performance. Then Jimmy walked us into the world that many people know him for - his long-running creative partnership with Timbaland. He explained how Tim's rhythmic sensibility forced him to rethink timing, movement, and pocket, and stories of respectful sessions working with Snoop Dogg.   We also talked about longevity: how Jimmy stays inspired, how he keeps reinventing himself, why he still chases accidents and surprises in the studio, and the challenge of balancing instinct with intention across 50 years of making records.

Music Makers and Soul Shakers Podcast with Steve Dawson

Ruthie Foster joins me on the show this week. I first met Ruthie about 20 years ago, when we were both playing at a Canadian folk festival. We had a few workshops together and really hit it off. She's one of the most incredible singers I've ever heard - so powerful and soulful, but also totally open to jamming and opening things up in a cool way. We re-connected this summer at the Vancouver Folk Festival and had a blast playing together again after all those years.Ruthie is a Grammy Award- winning recording artist (among many other awards!) who has an incredible new album out on Sun Records that she made here in Nashville with Tyler Bryant called “Mileage” - be sure to check it out! Ruthie came up singing in the church, performing all over Texas, and then had a stint in New York when she got signed to Atlantic Records. That didn't really pan out and Ruthie stepped back from music for a while, joined the Navy, which led to joining the Navy band, which sort of got her back into performing music. After her time in the Navy, Ruthie re-committed to music and started releasing her first solo albums, of which she now has 11 or 12 out since about 1997. They're all excellent, and Ruthie has always stayed true to her roots of blues, soul, gospel, folk and rock & roll. I got a chance to spend a bit of time with her here in Nashville during the Americanafest this year, and it was so great to hear her tell her story about her ineteresting path in the music world.You can get all Ruthie's current info and her busy tour schedule over at www.ruthiefoster.comPlease enjoy my conversation with Ruthie Foster!This season is brought to you by our main sponsors Larivée Guitars, Audeze, Izotope, FabFilter, and Chase Bliss.

In celebration of the deluxe edition of Foreigner's fourth album, 4, we take a detailed look at how it was made. After Mick Jones broke into the music industry as a session musician while playing in multiple bands, including Spooky Tooth, he envisioned starting a new project for the songs he was writing. He recruited musicians Ian McDonald, Dennis Elliott, Al Greenwood and Ed Gagliardi before turning his attention to finding the right lead singer for the band. After recalling meeting Lou Gramm when he was the singer of the Rochester, New York band Black Sheep, Jones asked Gramm to audition in New York City. Gramm was immediately hired and the lineup was complete. They signed a deal with Atlantic Records and released their self-titled debut album in 1977, which became a big success. Their second album, Double Vision, was released in 1978 and continued their run of hit singles. For their third album, Head Games, they clashed with producer Roy Thomas Baker and the album was not as successful as the first two. Rick Wills had taken over on bass at this point and after Head Games, they decided to let go of Ian McDonald and Al Greenwood to become a four-piece. They hired producer Mutt Lange and began recording at Electric Lady Studios. Foreigner 4 was eventually released in 1981.  In this episode, Lou Gramm shares stories of growing up in Rochester, getting to see artists like Jimi Hendrix and the Rolling Stones, which went on to inspire his lyrics for “Jukebox Hero.” He describes this turning point moment for the band when they wanted to update their sound and image for the 1980s. By paring down to a four-piece and bringing in outside musicians like Thomas Dolby on synthesizers, they forged a new path forward for the band. With the help of producer Mutt Lange, they were able to focus on crafting a tight set of rock songs while exploring new sonic territory with songs like “Waiting for a Girl Like You” and “Urgent.” From long hours and late nights in the studio, to Mutt Lange's perfectionist tendencies, to Thomas Dolby's art rock approach, to Mick Jones falling in love with synthesizers, to spontaneously recruiting Junior Walker for a saxophone solo, to a mysterious muse in the studio while recording “Waiting for a Girl Like You,” to both Foreigner and Mutt Lange at the height of their powers, we'll hear the stories of how the album came together.

Now distributed, managed, and published exclusively through Roc Nation, Uzi joins an ultra-elite circle alongside only Jay-Z and Rihanna. Roc Nation President Krystian Santini hails Uzi as a “global icon” granted complete creative control with maximum resources.The new era launched with a surprise two-pack drop: morning single “Chanel Boy” (prod. ZeeGoinXrazy) – a high-synth Eternal Atake throwback dripping in Chanel luxury references – paired with a gritty NYC video featuring helicopters, Black SUVs, and full designer flex. Hours later came “Relevant” (prod. Trillion & Rima), a red-bandana Balenciaga statement reasserting dominance with immediate visual accompaniment.Analytic Dreamz breaks down the full 2025 context: Uzi's low-profile year, cleared sexual harassment lawsuit (dismissed with prejudice), and the active $110M copyright case over “Just Wanna Rock” claiming 93–97% melodic similarity to Rief Rawyal's “Pain and Pleasure.”This segment analyzes how Uzi's Roc-backed independence creates one of rap's most powerful artist-business structures, signals a return to beloved spacey sonics, and kicks off a new rollout era with unstoppable momentum. Essential listening for Uzi fans and hip-hop business observers.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
