Sabrina Carpenter Challenges Sexist Stereotypes + Fletcher and JoJo Siwa Redefine Their Sexualities
mardi 24 juin 2025 • Durée 52:31
This week on Name 3 Songs…
⚡WE’RE BACK BABY! We’re filling you in on everything that’s been happening and all the ways we’ll be back in your podcast feels and socials once again.
⚡Sabrina Carpenter announced her new album Man’s Best Friend to be released just 359 days after Short and Sweet, but the bigger issue is the artwork itself for Man’s Best Friend which has stirred much conversation about whether it’s part of feminism or if it perpetuates the male gaze.
⚡Taylor Swift now owns all of her masters! We were expecting drama, we were expecting intrigue, but really, she just did something only one of the richest women in the world can do, and that’s all there is to it. Paul McCartney doesn’t even own his masters; fully owning your masters is a pretty abnormal feat, as song ownership is the main way labels recoup their money.
⚡ We’re experiencing what the internet hivemind is referring to as a fascism indicator, with how many girlies who are known to exist under the LGBTQ+ umbrella are debuting boyfriends (and at the start of Pride Month!) Let’s talk about Billie Elish being photographed with Nat Wolff, JoJo Siwa confirming her relationship with Big Brother co-star Chris Hughes, and Fletcher releasing her “sorry I kissed a boy but I had to do it” anthem.

We Saw What The Grammy’s Can Be When DEI Is Prioritized
Saison 5 · Épisode 1
mercredi 5 février 2025 • Durée 01:11:54
This week on Name 3 Songs…
⚡ Each year when the Grammy Awards roll around, we typically have an episode that critiques the award ceremony for being vastly out of touch with popular culture: Beyonce is snubbed for Album of the Year, BTS is used as a bait tool for viewership, Best New Artist doesn’t represent the talent at the present moment. The list goes on. This year, at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards it was *checks notes* a good time. So good, to the point that there were hardly any critiques for the Recording Academy this year. So how did they do it? We discuss the significance of the expanded voting committee (13,000 voting members) which includes 40% POC, and large numbers of younger voters and female members. We also get into some of our personal highlights, featuring Doechii, Raye, Chappell Roan,and Sabrina Carpenter. And then we get into the big cultural takeaways of the night – Beyonce winning Album of the Year and Best Country Album, Chappell Roan calling out record labels for the way they treat artists, Lady Gaga and others standing for trans rights, and more.

dimanche 12 janvier 2025 • Durée 48:39
We’re getting candid in our interview with bby.
The members of bby found each other on the internet after cultivating their individual musical abilities playing for revered underground London acts. Post-covid, they upgraded to “real life” meet-ups to develop their own gritty alternative sound. Their HQ in East London quickly became a hot spot for packed house parties that has become a personification of the band’s ethos.
We sat down with all five members of bby for our interview – Benji (vocals), Tommy (guitar and bass), Tom (drums), Dion (guitar and bass), Jesse (guitar).
We talk about cultivating community through live music, maintaining individual style and musicianship while creating something completely new as a group, and using audience participation to influence the songwriting process.

[INTERVIEW] Getting Candid with Angélica Garcia
Saison 4 · Épisode 35
dimanche 24 novembre 2024 • Durée 52:19
We’re getting candid in our interview with Angélica Garcia.
Angélica Garcia is a pop experimentalist who pulls from her Mexican and Salvadoran heritage to make art that speaks to the experience of growing up between cultures as a Hispanic-American. Her latest album Gemelo, meaning “twin” in English, represents the two selves, the spirit and body, and tackles how they work together and against one another.
We talk to Angélica Garcia about why she embraced singing in Spanish despite things getting lost in translation, the pain of grief that stays with you and how it can be a beautiful tool for transformation, and how she prioritizes your own happiness and personal growth, even if that means letting go of people and things that do not serve you.

mardi 19 novembre 2024 • Durée 01:00:28
We’re getting candid in our interview with Emei.
Emei built her career from the ground up, performing since she was a child in music theater and even as a star on Chinese reality TV. After receiving notoriety on TikTok for her 2022 single “Late to the Party,” Emei has built a world around her subsequent music, and has already performed at venues as far as Australia. Emei’s 3rd EP Rabbithole (out now) sees the artist personifying her personal life experience in a dark and twisted world after falling down a rabbit hole.
We talk to Emei about how competing in a Chinese reality TV competition prepared her for a singing career, how she advocates for herself in a music industry that tries to put artists in a box, and how she found a new voice on her 3rd EP Rabbithole.

The Loss of Liam Payne + Replay of Grieving As a Fangirl: From Death to Disbandment
Saison 4 · Épisode 34
mercredi 30 octobre 2024 • Durée 01:39:27
We thought it would be helpful, after the tragic loss of Liam Payne, to have a brief discussion about how we're feeling in regards to this loss and also give y'all a replay of our 2022 episode about grieving as a fangirl. We will be discussing the heinous way the press handled the loss of Liam in an episode soon.
"Grief is a complex state of being, one that takes a person through an array of emotions from anger to sadness to acceptance and everything in between. Grieving can feel incredibly personal, and as a fangirl, the outside world judges you when you’re celebrating, so when you’re grieving it’s a whole other ballpark. So what does grieving look like as a fangirl, especially when you’re dealing with everything from death to disbandment?
In this throwback episode, we’re heading back to university to get a crash course in the psychology behind grief, and how grieving doesn’t just belong to those who have a kinship to those who are lost. When music is what most of us rely on when we’re in times of mourning and dispair, it can be so much harder to deal with grieving as a fangirl when those in your inner circle don’t understand your loss. From the death of artists like Elvis, Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse, and more to hiatuses that turn to disbandment, breakups that lead to comebacks, and bands who ghost their fans forever, we’re looking into it all this week!"
