Extra Credit #2

 

     The podcast I chose from Switched on Pop was titled ''The Soft Sounds of Kali Uchis''. This podcast was a live interview with Kali Uchis and they kind of talked about a little bit of everything. They First talked about how she has collab with some big names in the industry including artist Tyler the Creator. They then talked about the song she made titled ''Loner'' which was a huge hit that helped her get discovered. She mentioned when talking about the making of the song she did the song all in one take, which I thought was truly incredible. She also began at one point to talk about her love of poetry and how she incorporated that love into her music to give it her own personal touch. She mentioned how many of her songs are based on the time in her life as a child where she felt alone, and this is her opening up and showing why she feels it's important to be strong and to not be afraid to stand alone. They then go into her first album in 2018 ''Isolation'' which was a huge deal for her and what all lead up to that point, mostly heavily focused on her EP success. They then talked a little bit about ''After the Storm'' which included rapper Tyler the Creator, and just talked about the meaning behind it as well as how it was making the song. I thought it was interesting how she said she felt she had a lot to prove when working with other artists. I say that because you can tell she is great and she shouldn't feel like she has to prove anything, so I thought that was pretty surprising.
