Rolling Stone's Rob Sheffield makes his Pop Pantheon debut for our special two-part Pride series on one of the most iconic queer figures in pop history, Elton John. Louie and Rob dig into Elton's musical roots, his band Bluesology and his early work with lyricist and creative partner Bernie Taupin. From there, they discuss his 1970 breakthrough with “Your Song” and his seminal run of mid-1970s “classic period” albums and hits, including records like 1971's Tumbleweed Connection, 1972's Honky Château, 1973's Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player and Elton's audacious double-album blockbuster Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (1973). Tune in next week for part two, covering the many peaks and valleys of Elton's post-imperial run career, his legacy as a queer pop star and his ranking in the Official Pop Pantheon.

I've been a fan of Nicole Scherzinger for as long as I can remember — from the Pussycat Dolls days to her powerhouse performances on stage, and now… she's a Tony nominee?! In this episode of The Music in Me, I'm celebrating Nicole's incredible journey from pop icon to Broadway star. We'll dive into her early love of music, her stage beginnings, her time as the lead singer of one of the biggest girl groups in the world, and how she blew us all away in Sunset Boulevard. Plus, I'll share some fun facts you may not know — like her friendship with Prince and that time she worked in a lion costume at an amusement park. This one's personal, y'all — it's all about talent, transformation, and why I absolutely adore Nicole Scherzinger.PUSSYCAT DOLL SONGS MENTIONED...Don't ChaButtonsWhen I Grow UpI Hate This PartSUNSET BLVD.

Sarah is getting old all of a sudden, and she is not happy about it. She claims she has an old lady body now, and we talk about how humans age in two big bursts at 44 and 60. Sarah saw a man taking pics of young girls at the beach so we debate whether she should've confronted him. Frogs have been croaking (get it?) at alarming numbers due to storm drains, so someone created the cutest solution you ever heard of. We discuss the old classic the tortoise and the hare, and we admit that that story is a buncha b.s. Truth is, that hare is going to win 99% of the time. We talk about karma and the silly way humans think about it that is biased to their own goodness. Sarah explains why female friendships are keeping pop music afloat. We learn why humans heal so much slower than their chimpanzee relatives.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:For 20% off your order, head to https://www.harvesthosts.com and use code BRAINCANDYVisit https://shopbeam.com/BRAINCANDY and use code BRAINCANDY to get our exclusive discount of up to 35% off.For 50% off your order, head to https://www.dailylook.com and use code BRAINCANDYGet 40% off your first box PLUS get a free item in every box for life when you go to https://www.hungryroot.com/BRAINCANDY and use code BRAINCANDYSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Happy wekeend everyone! Today on the podcast, Kieran and I are living the high life on the seven seas, with a discussion on the music video for 'Rio' by Duran Duran.
This episode features an interview with the artist MEGG, who combines her love for pop music with her punk rock background to create a unique sound for a diverse audience of tomboys, romantics, and misfits. Born and raised in LA's South Bay, MEGG has achieved significant milestones such as performing at Dodgers Stadium, headlining at Saint Rocke Music Venue, and opening for bands like The Used. This summer, she will be playing at Van's Warp Tour in Long Beach, California.The conversation begins with MEGG recalling her first concert experience, a Madonna show, attended with her parents and a friend, which left a lasting impression on her as a child. They discuss various best concerts she has attended, including performances by Beyonce, Alicia Keys, and Missy Elliot. This inspires MEGG to share how these experiences shaped her musical career, leading her to attend the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts and later the University of Southern California's Popular Music Performance Program.MEGG recounts forming several bands along the way, including Runway MMC with her friends, supported by her mother's visionary clothing line idea, and Party for One, a pop-punk band she started with her buddies from USC. MEGG's career took significant turns with these projects, growing from performing at college parties to headline venues like Saint Rocke. MEGG delves further into pivotal moments such as playing the Musink Tattoo Music Festival, opening for The Used, and the journey to secure a spot at Warped Tour 2025. MEGG's experiences exhibit her resilience and dedication to her craft amidst various challenges and the evolving music industry landscape. Towards the end of the interview, MEGG discusses her musical influences, her recent single releases, and plans for upcoming projects, such as an EP to be released in the fall following her performances at Warped Tour. She emphasizes the importance of staying true to her musical style while being versatile across different genres.

Writer and editor Ilana Kaplan joins Pop Pantheon to discuss one of pop's criminally under-appreciated secrets, Haim. Louie and Ilana unpack the sister trio's origins in Southern California, including their family band Rockinhaim and Este and Danielle's short-lived teen pop band The Valli Girls. From there, they dig into 2013's Days are Gone, a record that paid virtuosic homage to pop radio of yore, Haim's friendship with Taylor Swift and 2017's Something to Tell You. Finally, they discuss Haim's most recent album, 2020's personal and more organic sounding Women in Music Pt. III and rank Haim in The Official Pop Pantheon.

Today, I'm chatting with visionary out pop music artist Jake Wesley Rogers, who just released his debut full-length album, "In the Key of Love." The latest single from the collection, “My Misery,” revolves around a buoyant groove fueled by a marching band-style drumroll and bold piano, all highlighting Jake's theatrical, larger-than-life sound. Jake recently performed at the 36th GLAAD Media Awards and will be taking his bombastic live show to stages across North America this summer, opening for pop legend Cyndi Lauper on her “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour,” including a two-night finale at The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. Since his debut in 2020, Jake has been praised by countless major publications including People Magazine, Billboard, Rolling Stone, American Songwriter, PAPER, and Vogue.

EPISODE 129: Winning the hearts of millions of fans in the 80s as the lead singer of British band Kajagoogoo, Limahl enjoyed the instant celebrity of hitting the top of the charts with his debut single ‘Too Shy' which was followed by two more Top 20 hits ‘Ooh to Be Ah' & ‘Hang on Now' (all of which he co-wrote). After being unceremoniously (and infamously) kicked out of the band, Limahl struck out on his own and soon re-emerged in the charts again with his first solo single ‘Only For Love'. That was quickly followed by the Giorgio Moroder– produced worldwide smash ‘Neverending Story', theme song from the hit film of the same name. 2019 saw Limahl re-enter mass collective consciousness when his music was highlighted by three major US television shows. Too Shy was featured in the standalone, interactive Black Mirror episode Bandersnatch on Netflix and also in AMC's hit anthology American Horror Story: 1984, while Neverending Story played a pivotal role in the third season of Netflix's Stranger Things. His new single and remake of the America classic "Horse With No Name" is out now. limahl.com Contact us: makingsoundpodcast.comFollow on Instagram: @makingsoundpodcastFollow on Threads: @jannkloseJoin our Facebook GroupPlease support the show with a donation, thank you for listening!

Today's guest is a genre-shifting phenomenon who's redefining what it means to break through in music today. With a sound that fuses indie, alt-pop, R&B, and emo influences, he's crafted a raw, emotionally charged catalog that's connected with a generation—and he did it all from his sister's closet on a phone.

In a preview of this week's Pop Pantheon: All Access episode, Taylor Swift's eleventh studio album The Tortured Poets Department— a sprawling, 31 song, two disc, two+ hour melange of music from the superstar— arrived last April amidst peak Taylor cultural overload: her landmark Eras Tour had been globe-trotting for a year, she'd just recently dominated the Grammys winning her record-breaking fourth Album of the Year trophy for previous album Midnights, her non-stop fountain of re-releases of previous works seemed ceaseless, and her new relationship with football star Travis Kelce was plastered all over our TVs and social media feeds constantly. All of that made the album a lot to stomach for many outside of the artist's (massive) core fan base and Poets, though hugely commercially successful, was broadly seen as one of the pop icon's weaker efforts, including by the makers of the podcast. But with the power of hindsight, how does Tortured Poets hold up removed from all of that context? Louie, Russ, and friend of the pod Shaad D'Souza gather to discuss just that, plus each share their... um.. "tailored" versions which help prune the massive tracklist into something more manageable, and maybe good?To hear the rest of the this episode plus receive weekly bonus episodes of Pop Pantheon, gain access to our Discord channel and so much more, subscribe to Pop Pantheon: All Access at the Icon Tier.

In a preview of this week's Pop Pantheon: All Access episode, late last week, Lorde ushered in her much-anticipated new era by dropping her latest single, "What Was That," amidst a surprise live pop-up show in New York City's Washington Square Park, before releasing the song's music video soon after. So how is it? And what does it tell us about the possibility of an impending Lorde-aissance?

Reanna Cruz joins Pop Pantheon to break down the rise of Mr. Worldwide himself, Pitbull. Reanna and Louie explore Pitbull's genesis in the cultural hub of Miami and his breakthrough with 2004's dancehall-cum-reggaeton banger “Culo.” They then tackle his early work in both Spanish and English and his pivot towards big dance anthems and cross-cultural superstardom, resulting in albums like 2009's Pitbull Starring in Rebelution and 2011's Planet Pit, his massive run of hit guest verses and clever branding, catchphrases, and signature swaggering, fun-loving on-record presence, all of which made him one of the key voices of the EDM era.
