Nathy Peluso Talks New Salsa EP ‘MALPORTADA,’ Esmeralda, BZRP, and Phil Collins
Argentinian-born, Barcelona-based creative powerhouse Nathy Peluso joins us in the studio to talk about it all: her beginnings studying theatre and writing poetry for cash, on the spot on a typewriter on the streets of Barca, and how she moved from rapping to singing to her latest salsa EP, MALPORTADA, a genre that’s been a guiding force for her since childhood. We discuss her thoughts on what salsa purists might think, male rappers getting riled up when she swooped in and snagged the Latin Grammy for ‘Aprender a Amar’ back in 2024 (she’s won four in total). We also get into her love for Phil Collins and his connection to the album she scrapped before 2024’s Grasa (will it ever see the light of day?!), how she lost and found her pleasure center, the difference between salsa sung by men vs women, plus did she just get married in Vegas?!Check out Audible's Best of 2025 and discover why there's more to imagine when you listen.

Rita Ora Talks New Music, Avicii, Taika Waititi, Descendants and Fyre Festival Musical
It’s a been a minute — or six years — since we last caught up with Rita Ora and a lot has happened: she got married (to director Taika Waititi), she release an album (2023’s You & I), she’s hosted so many TV shows, and really gone deep with the acting (Queen of Hearts in The Descendants, opposite Brandy no less). We talk about all this plus her early years from interning at a London record studio to getting signed by Jay Z and moving to NYC, not to mention her dance roots, this new era and — oh my god — collaborating with Taika on (amongst other projects) a musical inspired by the hilarious catastrophe that was Fyre Festival with music by, wait for it, Adele (and her longtime collaborator/songwriter Paul Epworth). And this is just the tip of the iceberg because the Kosovan-born, British-raised, 36-year-old, multi-hyphenate extraordinaire has experienced so much. And she’s got some tips for turkey roasting. So nice to have her back.Chapters:01:24 - Early Career & UK Music Scene06:51 - Dance Music Roots & Club Culture13:19 - Working with Avicii & "Lonely Together"16:32 - Creative Process & Studio Setup18:28 - Pushing Artistic Boundaries21:45 - The Song "Joy" & TV Soundtracks27:45 - Relationship with Partner Taika Waititi & Creative Synergy31:01 - Fyre Festival Musical Project42:00 - Taika Waititi & Music Videos45:44 - New Era: "All Natural" & Artistic Identity49:07 - Overcoming Anxiety & Personal Growth52:01 - Looking Ahead: Future Projects & InspirationSUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
