It's the third time it's happened but it has to be said: it is wild that we're at the point where we have return guests to the pod. Honestly, what a privilege to welcome back Charlene Kaye (aka KAYE), a friend I deeply admire and an artist I'm a proper fan of. We first met when she was part of the Brooklyn-based outfit, San Fermin, and since leaving the band she's evolved into one of NYC's most daring artists. Part of achieving that has come from her ability, no, actually, more her desire for metamorphosis. A true testament to Charlene's character is how when many of us are running away from change, she's able to run toward it with open arms. Her latest release, Neon God, is a body of work that feels wholly reflective of its creator. Across the 5 tracks, Charlene projects a stylish ambition and a level of honesty that feels both vulnerable and defiant in equal measure. To get to the bottom of this, we decided to have this episode be a track-by-track, meaning we go into the stories of each song. The end result is a talk that's become the most personal episode of season 5, in a way that leaves me with so much gratitude and privilege. In addition to a stellar music career, Charlene also created/hosts one of my favourite podcasts; The Golden Hour. It's a truly beautiful podcast where Charlene interviews creatives of Asian and Pacific Island backgrounds about the intersection between artistry and identity. Season 2 just started, so be sure to catch the podcast over on Apple, Spotify, and where ever you listen to podcasts (also support the podcast through Anchor). Be sure to join Charlene and company at the second-ever Golden Hour Fest, which will be happening at Farm To People in Brooklyn. Tickets can be found here.
