We’re thrilled to welcome Spain’s Guitarricadelafuente, aka 28-year-old Álvaro Lafuente Calvo, to the couch, joining us to talk about his killer second album ‘Spanish Leather.’ Like his peers Rosalia and Nathy Peluso, Calvo began his career rooted in the romanticism and traditionalism of his home country — his debut album, 2022’s La Cantera stands as an homage to folklore.

With ‘Spanish Leather’ Calvo dives into hedonism, sensuality, and vulnerability. He’s visibly and audibly more comfortable exploring his queerness, a journey that was sparked by his collaboration and friendship with Troye Sivan. He discusses all this plus his work with celebrated German photographer Wolfgang Tillmans, whose imagery perfectly complements the record.

We learn more about his self-taught beginnings, his alter ego, his thoughts on commitment and relationships, his debut acting role opposite Penelope Cruz in forthcoming film ‘La Bola Negra’ (directed by Spanish queer writer/directors Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi), and so much more.

Nori, Brianna, and Wennely — the irrepressible trio who make up 3Quency — join us in the studio to give us the behind the scenes skinny on Netflix’s ‘Building the Band,’ which they won. The spill the beans on what we didn’t see, who they were rooting for, their mindset in the pods and of course their close relationship with Soulidified. And yes Nori and Shade are still together. Why they didn’t wind up as a storyline on the show? We find that out too.

We also dig in to the winding path they took to land on the show from stint on ‘The Voice’ and other reality show talent shows, Brianna time on the rebooted Mickey Mouse Club, individual solo endeavors and band ventures, time spent doing musical theater, and how Brianna’s recently passed grandma was probably (definitely?) communicating with her through a TV that was unplugged?!

They also talk frankly about online bullying, their unshakable bond, Kelly Rowland, and their streak of singles, each showing off a different facet of their talent and message. It’s hard not to be charmed. Also the music slaps.

Madison Beer joins in the new studio — she’s been popping in for about ten years, so she’s seen them all — to chat about her latest album, ‘Locket.’ But also getting together with Madison is just a catch up and a good hang. For sure we dig into this record, co-produced again by longtime collaborator Leroy Clampitt (Lilly Allen, Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter), and dig into songs like “Complexity,” “Bad Enough,” her favorite, “Healthy Habits.” And which songs did Raye write for Madison? We uncover that too.

Plus we discuss ‘Heated Rivalry,’ ‘Traitiors,’ Victoria’s Secret, video games, robots, her partnership with director Aerin Moreno, decorating her house, her dad DJ Rob Beer, whatever happened to that ‘Making Madison’ reality show, plus so much more.

Piper Curda joins us on the couch to discuss her biggest role yet: the voice of Mabel Tanaka, the starring character in Pixar’s new film ‘Hoppers.’ We’ll let her explain the plot but her character is an animal loving Japanese-American college student whose mind is transferred into a robotic beaver. Obviously there was a lot of beaver talk. But 28-year-old Curda has a rich and storied history with Disney, starting off as a kid acting in ‘A.N.T. Farm’ and ‘I Did’n’t Do It,’ so Disney lore is definitely a topic of conversation.

We discuss how she got into acting, her upbringing amongst five other siblings — all of whom wound up in entertainment, Glory, Riley Major, and Saylor — and who were raised for a time on a military base (her dad grew up on the streets of Korea and went on to be the first Korean-American general in the army).

We also go deep on the realities of acting, how during the pandemic and followed by the strike she wound up working a nine-to-five. She’s super honest about her experiences with depression and openly discusses asexuality. Piper is funny, and refreshingly frank. Don’t miss!

They came third in Netflix’s ‘Building the Band’ — but as Liam Payne — one of the show’s mentors was quick to point out, One Direction also came third way back when. The most important thing is that the quartet found each other, and they definitely wouldn’t have if it wasn’t for this latest reality talent conceit: ostensibly ‘Love Is Blind’ meets ‘The Voice.’

So meet Malik, Shade, Bradley, and Landon. We find out all there is to know about them, experience on the show and after — what went on behind the scenes, their experiences with Liam Payne, and where their own origin stories. Including Malik’s journey via ‘The Voice’ and ‘American Idol,’ Bradley the busker who went to Berklee music school, Landon the self-described Thrift King who already had prior experiences in a boy band. and Shade’s football moment

Of course we also dig into Shade and Nori from 3quency’s romance, boyband boot camp, Bradley and Landon getting their dancing legs, the band name, the matching tats, their latest single “What’s Your Name” (think Boyz II Men meeting N*SYNC), and so much more.
