In this edition of My Music, Graham Coath is joined by the vivacious and refreshingly real Natalie Grey – a synth-pop powerhouse channelling the bold colours, unapologetic vibes, and defiant joy of icons like Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, and the Spice Girls.From coffee-protein shakes to childhood CD purchases (yes, Daphne & Celeste get a shoutout), Natalie takes us through her journey: from performing in tiny pubs to releasing high-energy tracks like Living Love that charted internationally – including, unexpectedly, in Brazil.But it's not all glitter and grooves. Natalie opens up about navigating the modern music scene with PTSD, the dark side of social media, and why she calls her condition a “needy friend.” Her story is a raw, inspiring reminder that strength and sparkle can coexist.

If you've ever searched for bass related topics on YouTube or Instagram (which if you're watching this then the answer is probably yes) then I'm sure you will have come across some of Travis Dykes' fantastic content.

ColourTelly – Retro Feels, Real Talk & Records That MatterWhat do cathode ray tubes, homemade pasta, and Marvin Gaye have in common? They all come up in this week's My Music – a soulful sit-down with the genre-blurring, era-bending duo ColourTelly.From analogue gear to digital angst, Graham chats with Evie and Ollie about the stories behind the music, why their name sounds like it might be Italian, and how their sound walks the tightrope between deep dystopian themes and butter-smooth vocals. You'll hear about:

This week, we're pulling back the curtain on American music history—and asking who really gets to define it. Grammy-winning Blues musician and cultural historian Chris Thomas King drops in to break down why everything we've been taught about the origins of the blues is wrong. Because Chris is letting it be known: it didn't start on Mississippi plantations—he's taking us to Congo Square, Creole New Orleans, and Storyville, where he argues the blues was born out of resistance, freedom, and Saturday night defiance. From ancient African instruments to the invention of “jazz” as a sanitizing label, this conversation reclaims the radical roots of Black music—and why they still matter.
