    Adéla Wants to be Polarizing

    Filmed in November 2024. Adéla's first-ever podast interview. WATCH THE "SUPERSCAR" MUSIC VIDEO HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pn6ey6HOkP4 In this episode of "Middle Row w Coco Mocoe", we are joined by Adéla as she breaks down her music video for "Superscar". This was her second single, ever, and it already has over 1 million views on YouTube and she is building a cult-like fandom, as a result. We discuss her background growing up Slovakia, her USSR ballet training, her time on "Pop Star Academy" on Netflix, her current relationships with castmates (including the KATSEYE girls), how she found her producer, Liam Benayon, how Grimes discovered her and more. Adéla is going to be a huge star! I am so lucky to say that I got the first-ever, sit down interview with her. Her music, vision, athleticism and artistry is something huge labels would pay for even their biggest artists to have even a slice of. Recently, she put out "Aint in LA", toured with Demi Lovato and performed at Lollapalooza 2026, and gearing up to release her debut album, PRIMA.

    Christopher Nolan's Blind Spot

    Does Christopher Nolan have a pattern when it comes to writing women? In this episode of Middle Row with Coco Mocoe, we analyze Nolan’s adaptation of The Odyssey through a feminist film lens—examining how his female characters often act as emotional vessels, plot catalysts, and symbols of male regret. Drawing from Sverre Sigfussion’s thesis, "Noir Guilt Complex: The Death of Women as a Catalyst for Character Development," we look back at films like Inception, The Dark Knight, The Prestige, and Oppenheimer, and map those character tropes onto The Odyssey’s key female figures: Penelope (Anne Hathaway), Circe (Samantha Morton), Calypso, and Athena. Read the thesis here Plus, we break down standout performances and the controversial casting of Travis Scott as the Bard. CHAPTERS: Introduction — 0:00 The 2015 Thesis — 5:03 The Prestige — 5:44 The Dark Knight — 6:28 Inception — 6:42 Oppenheimer — 7:44 Other male directors portrayal of women in the storyline — 11:40 SPOILERS AHEAD Penelope in the Odyssey — 17:09 Circe — 19:16 Calypso — 24:16 Athena — 27:18 The making of the odyssey -- 30:54 If you made it this far, you're already a Coconut — so make it official. 🥥 Subscribe to the channel and drop a comment below telling me which artist you think is about to take off.

    Why "Spamming Content" Actually Works (The Love Island USA Strategy)

    Did you know that Love Island USA was originally considered a "failure to launch" during its first three seasons on CBS? From strict broadcasting rules to sanitized episodes, the show almost came to a complete close. Cut to today, and Love Island USA is running laps around major scripted drama series like Bridgerton and House of the Dragon to become the biggest show in the country. In today’s solo episode of Middle Row with Coco Mocoe podcast, I’m breaking down my marketing theory on the exact decisions that catapulted this franchise into a cultural phenomenon. We discuss the massive impact of the Bravo fandom, why Ariana Madix was the ultimate tipping point, and the logistics behind the real-time "war room" editing in Fiji.Most importantly, we explore the "Firehouse Effect" in marketing—the strategy of drowning out your competition through sheer volume of content—and how you can apply this to your own brand, music, or content creation journey (plus the dangerous risks of the 2020s digital surveillance state). I want this to be a discussion rather than a lecture, so leave a comment below: why do you think Love Island USA became the #1 show in the US? What blind spots did I miss?

    Ella Langley has been putting out music for almost 10 years now, with her first song "Clear the Clouds" coming out in 2017.

    How to get 200M streams before signing to a label (ft. Mad Tsai)

    WATCH MAD TSAI’S MUSIC VIDEO FOR “BITE”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GevLw6cqBI&list=RD2GevLw6cqBI&start_radio=1 How does a bedroom pop artist cross 200 million streams entirely on their own before signing to a major label? Today on Middle Row, we are joined by the artist Mad Tsai to break down his rise in music while finishing his degree at UCLA.  From the viral, LGBTQ+ fan-edit momentum of "Boy Bi" to the 100-million-stream milestone of "Stacy’s Brother," Mad Tsai explains how activating niche fandoms can activate internet subcultures to pull an artist's music into their world. We dissect the fundamental shift in listener psychology; such as, contrasting traditional, forced record label marketing with the organic power of TikTok fan edits (ex. BookTok, anime edits, and viral Love Island clips). We also look at the data behind Alex Warren’s 134-post pivot for his hit "Ordinary," how Mad Tsai leaned into online friction and critics to fuel his rollouts for "DA DA DA" and "STRAYS," and the deep personal storytelling of culture and queerness that is a through line in his music.  Chapters:  0:00 - Introduction  9:46 - Why his name is Mad Tsai 13:32 - Why artists have alter egos 15:20 - How to get 200-million+ streams before even signing to a record label 16:26 - Being a UCLA student while videos are going viral 17:57 - The personal challenge that made him viral 19:46 - The fan edits that made his songs viral 23:26 - The niche online that made his music viral 24:54 - Turning online drama into massive roll-out moments 25:46 - The online hate that kept him from posting music for 2+ years 33:13 - Mad’s ethnic background (Peruvian, Canto, Taiwanese) 36:18 - Mad’s queer identity 39:01 - Songs that explore his sexuality 41:20 - Where is the best spot to eat in LA 43:46 - Mad’s sun, moon and rising 44:31 - Mad’s upcoming tour Subscribe to get notified anytime a new podcast episode of “Middle Row w Coco Mocoe” drops every other Monday!

    The Katseye Kurse: The Marketing Strengths & Blind Spots of the World's Biggest Girl Group

    KATSEYE got Grammy nominations, a viral Gap campaign, a sold-out tour, and one of the best-selling albums in America, all in under two years. So why can't the girls escape criticism? In this episode of "Middle Row with Coco Mocoe", I break down what I'm calling the "Katseye Kurse," the collision between HYBE and Geffen's K-pop machine and a Western fandom that plays by completely different rules. I get into the Manon hiatus and the silence that followed, the Dream Academy contestants who got recycled into HYBE's next global group, Saint Satine, the Mickey Mouse Club blueprint with dropped artists being launched into stardom, and why the label's biggest marketing win might also explain its biggest blind spot. This isn't bad luck. It's a system that was built for impact. But who pays the price of the whiplash? Chapters 0:00 - Introduction 7:54 - Pop Star Academy on Netflix 12:03 - Mickey Mouse Club 14:12 - Who didn't make Katseye but have since launched music careers? 16:08 - The Introduction of Saint Satine aka Prelude 17:48 - The moment KATSEYE became a household name 19:32 - The Manon Hiatus 20:24 - Why doesn't Hybe address the Manon rumors? 21:33 - The importance of fan accounts 24:26 - Why the K-Pop infrastructure failed in western media 26:48 - The Gen-Z Vs. Gen Alpha Dilemma 30:03 - Can the "Katseye Kurse" be broken? New episodes of Middle Row every other Monday.
