How Blue Neighborhood Changed My Life... 30.05.2026 31mnt

LONG TIME NO SEEEEE!!! I missed you all so much :')Kind of an out of pocket episode topic this week-- but I was looking at the Spotify 20 year anniversary celebration data where my No. 1 streamed artists of all time was Troye Sivan.Specifically, his first album Blue Neighborhood. I remember being a closeted teenager listening to it for the first time, and felt chills across my whole body. It was the first time I ever heard music that I felt spoke that directly and deeply to me. It singlehandedly set me down the path of life that I am on, and none of this channel would have ever happened without that album0:00 - Intro1:50 - Catching up4:09 - Blue Neighborhood Lore6:52 - Album Review9:35 - SUBURBIA12:28 - HEAVEN17:31 - The Blue Neighborhood Trilogy24:02 - LOST BOY28:28 - Troye's Evolution#troyesivan #blueneighborhood #albumreview

What actually makes a pop star?Because becoming an artist isn’t just about hits.It’s about narrative, image, influence, longevity, and cultural impact.I've been loving this "7 levels of" trend on Youtube so I thought it would be fun to do my own take on it!In this video, I break down the 7 levels of pop stardom — from emerging artists to global icons — and how each stage reflects a different relationship between music, identity, and culture.Some of the artists we talk about in today's video: Zara Larsson, Pink Pantheress, Addison Rae, Katy Perry, Charlie Puth, Troye Sivan, Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, Charli XCX, Tyler the Creator, Harry Styles, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, and more!#musicreview #zaralarsson #beyonce #ladygaga #billieeilish

The Untold Lore of Jesse Rutherford (The NBHD) 18.03.2026 45mnt

Welcome back to Nicky at Night!This week we had the opportunity to sit down with Jesse Rutherford from @TheNBHD . I can remember when their first album came out back in 2013, and listening to Sweater Weather for the first time in highschool.Now over 10 years later, that song has become the #3 most streamed song on all of Spotify.What's interested me so much about the NBHD, is they are this time capsule of the various stages of the Music Industry's relationship with the internet. Starting in the Myspace & Tumblr Era, into the peak of the Youtube Music Video Era, and then seeing their music absolutely EXPLODE again on Tiktok0:00 - Intro1:25 - How did The NBHD meet?3:08 - Myspace & Tumblr Era of Music6:59 - Tiktok's Impact on Music7:48 - Band Culture10:00 - Sweater Weather13:00 - Relationships17:13 - "Getting the Band back together"22:47 - Ultrasound40:00 - Jesse's Music Recs#jesserutherford #theneighbourhood #musicinterview

How Creators Took Over Hollywood 11.02.2026 47mnt

The entertainment industry is changing...10 years ago, it felt like no Creator was taken seriously by the world of Traditional Entertainment. Today, we have Creators who are Emmy winners, Grammy nominated, producing full blown TV Shows, and just about every Red Carpet you can think of down to the MET Gala has some Creator hosting it and doing interviews. So what changed? Why is the industry finally opening up? And how will this boom of Creator led Media change Hollywood as we know it.Well today we sat down with Jordan Newman, Head of Content Partnerships at Spotify to talk about exactly this! His role is focused on Podcasts, and working with Creators who are actively trying to build their own IP and launch full blown shows.0:00 - Intro3:30 - The Traditional Media Method5:04 - The power of Community12:00 - Why are Actors starting podcasts?16:59 - The business of podcasting22:43 - Creating IP27:25 - The Future of the Creator Economy43:40 - Predictions#creatoreconomy #entertainmentindustry #socialmediamarketing

The $100 Billion Dollar Deal that will Destroy Hollywood (ft Elizabeth Warren) 13.12.2025 28mnt

A massive $100 billion bidding war between Paramount and Netflix for Warner Brothers is shaking up the film industry , raising alarms about monopolies economics. This potential consolidation could severely impact hollywood business by violating antitrust policy and challenging existing market regulation. This would depress wages for actors, directors, PAs, producers, and ANYONE who works in the film industry. Not only that, it will increase the subscription prices of these services!!!I had the opportunity to sit down with Senator Elizabeth Warren to talk about these monopolies, how it will impact the people working in film, and how this could have rippling effects in other industries trying to do more corporate consolidation#elizabethwarren #entertainmentindustry #democrats #netflix #warnerbros

Having a Boyfriend is... Embarrassing Now? 07.12.2025 36mnt

The viral British Vogue article “Is It Embarrassing To Have a Boyfriend?” has taken over TikTok and started a huge debate about modern relationships, gender roles, and why Gen Z suddenly feels weird about being in a public relationship. In this video, I break down why women feel this way, the epidemic of loneliness, and what it says about dating culture in 2025.What's even more interesting to me is how this discourse has evolved on the internet. From TikTok commentary to feminist think pieces, this conversation has sparked a wide debate on female independence, relationship advice, what it means to be a single girl, and why dating is so difficult for Gen Z.So… is having a boyfriend actually embarrassing now, or is this just another moment in online discourse?0:00 - Intro2:28 - Thank You xx4:05 - Chante Joseph's British Vogue Article8:56 - Single vs Married 12:48 - Why are women tired of men?17:23 - My theories on female dissatisfaction20:17 - Male vs Female Friendships23:38 - The Affordability Crisis24:40 - Male vs Female Cultural Divide28:45 - I don't think it's embarassing...32:30 - Critiques#videoessay #britishvogue #singlegirl

The Untold Lore of Orville Peck 26.11.2025 46mnt

Orville Peck is living proof that it takes 10 years to be an Overnight SuccessFrom being a ballet dancer in South Africa, an actor in London, and a touring artist in a punk band for nearly 15 years– there is NO ONE with a journey quite like his. He exemplifies that the first step of your career does not need to look like the last step, and no matter where you are, or how long you’ve been doing something. You can ALWAYS make a creative pivot.Not only that, he doesn’t sit inside the box or conform to the “standards” of the industry. How many other gay country singers wearing a fringe mask can you name? But it was exactly that which made him stand out.So I wanted to sit down with him to learn more about his journey and talk all things his new EP “Appolossa”0:00 - Intro1:20 - The Lore of Orville Peck7:25 - Why the mask?12:28 - Willie Nelson18:25 - Elton John20:00 - Midnight Ride w Kylie Minogue & Diplo22:06 - Noah Cyrus26:36 - Cabaret & Maybe This Time31:19 - My Side of the Mountain33:56 - Drift Away35:26 - Making Music Videos42:00 - Street Fighter Movie43:36 - Working w Friends45:06 - Oh my days#orvillepeck #musicreview

The Power of Persona (ft Remy Bond) 15.11.2025 44mnt

A great artist to me is about so much more than just the music.It's the world building, the visuals, and artistry that truly make someone iconic. Artists like Lana Del Rey, David Bowie, or Lady Gaga have developed entire artistic personas. Even outside of pop, we have artists like Tyler the Creator have an entire unique character they create for each album.But trying to create an entire world when you're still a new artist can be SUCH a challenge when you haven't had years worth of albums, music videos, or press like magazine covers to build that visual identity.So I wanted to sit down with a new artist who I thought was doing that BRILLIANTLY-- ⁨@remylovesu⁩ to show how to bring that piece of worldbuilding and artistic persona to life#remybond #lanadelrey #musicpodcast #musicreview

The 3 things that Build or Break a New Artist (ft Natalie Jane) 31.10.2025 41mnt

What makes a great artist? To me its about so much more than just music. It's the ethos, the visuals, the writing, worldbuilding, and how they tap into culture.Those things seem so much easier to do when you have a big record label, funding for your music videos, or an entire team around you-- but how does a New Artist do those things?Well we sat down with @nataliejane to talk about exactly that! Discussing her journey as a homegrown artist on the internet to the release of her debut album, "The World I didn't Want" which just came out last week! 0:00 - Intro2:27 - Artistic Fantasy vs Reality4:45 - Intrusive Thoughts8:23 - The World I Didn't Want14:00 - Fallin'17:39 - How U Been?20:30 - Girls Will Be Girls26:03 - AVA27:30 - Visuals37:30 - Butterflies38:45 - Anyone but Myself

The Disappointment of a Showgirl... 13.10.2025 31mnt

It seems like the internet has had a LOT to say about Taylor Swift this past week...From the release of her album Life of a Showgirl, the diss track about Charli XCX, and releasing 28 vinyl variants in the first 2 days...I made a Tiktok about this, and lost 1,000 followers in a day. It was so crazy that it really got me thinking about this downfall of honest music journalism, and how stan culture has created such an argumentative environment where no one wants to here any sort of disagreement. Going as far as to be mean and try to "punish" someone for simply expressing an opinion different from their own#taylorswift #charlixcx #albumreview

The Death of Nuance & the Age of Ragebait 23.09.2025 47mnt

Why does everything feel like ragebait now?From the Sydney Sweeney and American Eagle Ad Campaign, crazy tiktok foods, debate shows, toxic fandoms, and ragebait marketing.EVERYTHING feels like extremism, and we have completely lost the idea of nuance. To like some things, dislike some things, and still be a fan.Now it feels like everything is a team sport-- where you have to endlessly defend your team. Instead of actually trying to have a conversation and learn from one another0:00 - Intro2:38 - Bonus Episode4:16 - The History of Ragebait Marketing7:53 - The Psychology of Ragebait12:22 - The Rise of Extremism14:30 - Sydney Sweeney American Eagle17:59 - Why Bigotry Doesn't Work24:13 - Jubilee27:50 - Innocent Ragebait33:04 - Why Ragebait Marketing Always Fails37:37 - Charlie Kirk#videoessay #sydneysweeney #leftist #charliekirk
