Kevin Jonas recently joined us inside the Rockstar Suite at Hard Rock Hotel New York to celebrate the release of his new song, “Little Things” during an Audacy Check In, hosted by Mike Adam.

An ode to his wife of 17 years, “Little Things” celebrates the small moments in their life that add up to a big reason why they are still going strong. It’s a song so good that Kevin interrupted a family dinner out, to listen to it for the first time with his wife, Danielle.

“We actually stood up at dinner and actually went out to the car, and listened to the song,” Kevin says when first getting the track back. They listened to it “like 5 more times,” before returning to finish their meal. “She loved it, definitely one of her favorites.”

“What's really cool about, I think all of our wives, especially mine, they are pop girlies,” Jonas says. “When their gut's like, ‘Yo, this is the one,’ it's like you kind of need to listen.”

Even the kids are hyped for Kevin’s music, acutely aware of the JoBros phenomenon at ages 12 and 9. “The first time they ever came to a show was the ‘Happiness Begins’ tour,” he says. “I had been doing this already for 10, 12 years before that, but of course, the band had broken up.”

“It's really cool to see that my girls were excited about my music.”

Before letting Kevin go, Mike Adam had to ask the Disney star about his own Disney Mount Rushmore. Who would he place in those prestigious places?

“This is hard. I'm just gonna go with, Cheetah Girls straight across,” he answers, trying to avoid. “No, you can't do that. That's cheating,” fires back Mike.

“OK, so Cheetah Girls is like the OG. Hilary Duff, the OG. Phineas and Ferb, they've got some really good songs on there, and then of course the Jonas Brothers.”

During a visit to the Rockstar Suite at Hard Rock Hotel New York, Myles Smith sat down with Mike Adam for an Audacy Check In, offering a look at his life before his success in music, and a preview of his upcoming debut album.

Before the success of “Stargazing” and the the start of Smith’s rise in the music industry, Myles shares that he had started a consulting business, backed by his degree in sociology. “I had my own consultancy in business management, so I used to like help businesses run their management and operations, pretty boring,” he laughs.

There are things that he carries with him through his sociology experience, including the simple yet often hard to grasp concept of how similar we are. “I think it's just like understanding people and like the trends and patterns,” he says. “No matter where we are in the world, just how much we experience life in such similar ways, and it's so beautiful.”

'My Mess, My Heart, My Life.' is the debut album from Myles Smith, and it arrives everywhere on June 19. The final tracklist consists of 10 "brand new tracks" and 5 songs that document his "journey here," which he views as a way to "round off chapter one” of his career.

“The most vulnerable I feel is definitely when I'm writing,” he admits. “There's no real stop gap between my brain and what goes onto a record and I I love doing it that way. I think the more that you try to like polish things or make them sound how you think people want to hear them, the worse the song gets, so I just try and write as authentically as possible.”

New Gracie Abrams music is out in the world, as the GRAMMY-nominated singer has revealed her new single, “Hit the Wall,” along with plans for her third studio album, 'Daughter from Hell,' where she once again teams with producer Aaron Dessner. Abrams joined us this week inside the Rockstar Suite at Hard Rock Hotel New York to talk about the new project, along with her first film role, and recent visit to The Met Gala.

Sitting for an Audacy Check In with Mike Adam, Gracie detailed the upcoming A24 film she’s set to be a part of, as well as the making of 'Daughter from Hell,' which arrives everywhere on July 17.

“We challenge each other,” Abrams says as she praises her collaborator, Aaron Dessner, “and some of my favorite experiences in the studio with him is when we disagree because it always teaches me something. I love him for a million reasons, but I really appreciate that he's kind of helped instill in me that you don't need to make a radical change in order to put out a new album. It doesn't have to sound 100% different than your last thing. It can be a continuation and a discovery of what made you fall in love with writing in the first place.”

“This album to me feels like an elevated version of our process working together and I'm very proud of it.”

So for Gracie, does that make the creative process easier after years of collaboration and earned understanding? “It was actually not,” she admits. “I think it was more intricate. As a whole, it was more intricate. I feel everything, we ran all of it through with a fine tooth comb and this was like the most I've ever been involved in production before. Aaron and I have such a shorthand, like the way that we describe sounds or what we want, it's like the very exciting part of being in the studio together, and so to see it come to life in the way that it has with this album means a lot to me.”

“But the process of getting there was not always easy and I think the first songs that we made for this album we wrote two years ago,” Abrams shares. “I think what differed with this process was like being off tour and having like 5 months of not being on the road to sit with all the songs and to let my nervous system sort of reset. I feel like there's more patience, kind of less manic energy in this music.”

“It feels more thoughtful, but I think that also just comes with age and time and giving yourself and the subjects of your songs more grace, and so hopefully that's felt.”
