Having Michelle on the podcast was incredibly powerful. Her ability to speak so openly about the toughest parts of her life — from becoming a mother at 19 to battling post-partum depression — was deeply moving. I’ve followed her for years and always admired her authenticity, but this conversation took it to another level. She’s stepping into a new chapter with such strength, and working with her in the studio felt like making something truly meaningful, both sonically and emotionally. This is why I started The Weekly Beat — to create music with artists who really have something to say.
The song we made "Eller" comes out Friday June 20th, listen here:
