Nickelback is hitting harder than ever with their 11th studio album, Everything Under The Sun, now available everywhere. The band recently joined Abe Kanan for an Audacy Check In to take us inside the project, the origins of some of the songs, and the special experience of mixing the album at Abbey Road Studios.

All four members of Nickelback - Chad Kroeger, Mike Kroeger, Ryan Peake, and Daniel Adair - walked us through the unexpected trajectory of their single "Bones for the Crows," which was originally shared with WWE's Triple H before the album was completed. Plus they offered up behind-the-scenes stories of "Rattle the Cage," "Leave Me Behind," and "Make Me Love You."

The band also looked back on mixing the record at London’s iconic Abbey Road Studios, as the group crossed the pond with cameras, and even found a 160 person choir for backing vocals for “Simple Song.”

“They're like, ‘oh, there's a 160 person choir across the hall singing in studio 1’” reveals Chad about their time at the famed studio. “I look at him and a second later and I go, ‘is the universe just handing us a gift?’”

“On the first pass, the round of these big ‘na-nas,’ I was like, ‘oh,’ and I just got chills the whole way down my body. And on the second round, it was even more confident and even louder, and I started welling up. It was so powerful."

To hear more about Nickelback’s upcoming tour, how Chad’s girlfriend helped create “Technicolor Steamboat,” and how their lawyer helped push the band to number one, listen to the full Audacy Check In above.

On release day for her latest album, The Girl Of Your Dreams, Ashe joined us inside the Hard Rock Hotel New York to talk about her songwriting evolution, her work with FINNEAS, and her upcoming performance at Audacy’s We Can Survive on October 28.

Ashe will join Megan Moroney, Michelle Branch, and Bebe Rexha later this month at We Can Survive, helping to support mental health awareness with a special performance at UBS Arena in New York.

“I am a huge fan of all of them,” she gushes. “Megan Moroney in particular. I've just been watching her skyrocket, and I just love watching her shine so much.”

“I mean, the goal is that our cycles all sync-up and we become very close friends,” she jokes. “I feel like we're all gonna be buddies.”

Ashe is very proud of The Girl Of Your Dreams, finally distilling the singer’s most theatrical and classical instincts into a perfect Pop album. She shares that she often uses songwriting as therapy, but is also quick to share she uses therapy for therapy, and is proud of it.

“I love my therapist,” she exclaims.

“I also garden a lot. I journal. The shoes are off and they're in the grass and there's a lot about my life that is very not my career that keeps my feet on the ground and makes me a better artist.”

One of Pop’s most fearless artists, Tove Lo, has returned with the new album, ESTRUS, bringing her distinct songwriting and unmistakable dancefloor presence into a new chapter of exploration.

The “I’m your girl right?” singer stopped by our Los Angeles studios recently to talk with Bru, unpacking some of the lyrics of her latest project, looking back on her breakout era, and discussing the balance of personalities that contribute to her ever-evolving career.

“It was such a blend of, 'Oh my god, my dreams are coming true, and is that really real?' and then the culture shock of like Sweden to America,” Tove Lo says of her initial success a decade ago. “Just being kind of excited and terrified all the time."

A long way from “Habits,” Tove Lo’s latest work explores where she is now, oscillating between perfection and messy, and even wondering if she’s meant for motherhood.

“I've been told in therapy throughout my whole life that I have these two personalities inside me,” she reveals. “One is very Type A, perfectionist, mean, very hard on myself, and then the other one is messy, more forgiving, but also can be quite destructive if she's left alone for too long."

"So those two are always battling each other, and finding balance between them is my sweet spot and my lifelong goal, which I still haven't reached.”

Tove Lo admits in songs like “source of life” and “if I could I would,” it’s that “messy” side singing to the “perfectionist,” being “thrown between two very contradicting emotions is kind of that... all the feelings in a pressure cooker ready to come out.”

By writing what she was feeling and not caring what anyone would think about it, Tove Lo unlocked the meaning behind ESTRUS.

"I was like, 'I don't need to have any kind of message.' Like, you're not some kind of inspirational person, you're just an emotional artist,” Tove says. “If I just write from what I need to say, that can become inspirational. But if I try to write something where I'm like, 'This is me giving advice,' who never follows my own advice ever, like, that's not a good place to start.”
