In this very special backstage episode, Eva and Sam from Charly Bliss join us to nominate two flawless albums - Lorde's Melodrama and Weezer's The Blue Album. They talk about why the lyrics, the songwriting and the musical craft mean so much to them, and how both artists have fundamentally influenced Charly Bliss's own music and songwriting. This episode of Flawless recorded at The Curtin, Melbourne. It was hosted by Liam McGinniss with special guests Charly Bliss.

On the latest show, we're breaking down the 2018 Grammy nominations! The theme of this year's nods, especially in the Big Four categories (album of the year, song of the year, record of the year and best new artist), is diversity, with men of color dominating the picks. Aside from Lorde's Melodrama, every nominee in the album of the year category -- Kendrick Lamar's Damn., Childish Gambino's Awaken, My Love!, JAY-Z's 4:44 and Bruno Mars' 24K Magic -- is a man of color.
