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.”

While celebrating the 25th anniversary of their landmark album, Break The Cycle, Staind is already hard at work on what’s next. The band shared their new single, “Ghosts,” this week and singer Aaron Lewis joined Abe Kanan to dive into new music and their humbling “second chance” with sold out crowds.

It’s been sold out crowds for Staind as they honor their 2001 album, alongside other era standouts, Hoobastank and Hinder. The band has had so much success on the road that they have announced a second leg starting in 2027.

"It's so crazy that it feels like a second chance,” admits Lewis. “It's insane.”

“Humbling. It's a so full of gratitude moment. To have somehow been given the opportunity to play for a whole new audience after 25 years, almost 30 years."

In this major moment of resurgence for Staind, the band has unleashed new music, with the lead single from their new album now available everywhere. According to Lewis, it’s from the new album, The Space Between the Darkness and the Light, coming “soon.”

“I know it'll come out soon. I know that it's done,” he explains. “I'm pretty confident in saying that it's a hell of a record, and I'm proud to put it out.”

“I think it's a great continuation of the thread that you can follow in Staind’s music, which is my lyrical content. And it fits right in with everything before it perfectly,” he adds. “Basically all the Staind records, start from the beginning and move forward has been an adult man trying to navigate his way through the wreckage that was left behind from childhood trauma, and I'm 54 years old now and I'm still trying to make my way through the wreckage that was left behind.”
