Welcome to Talking Tunes by Girls Are Awesome where we deconstruct female music artists and the processes around one specific song. Talking Tunes is hosted by producer and songwriter Vakle.


This episode is the fourth and final Roskilde Festival special episode and is centered around Danish singer, songwriter, producer and absolutely excellent live performer Lydmor.


We caught her the day after her show at the festival: Backstage village, raining, cooold - you know the drill - but ready for a chat! We talk about her time in Shanghai, using Justin Bieber as reference track for mixing, why compression is essential for vocal processing, how panning and effects on the master is super powerfull and a lot more!

The song we’re talking about is called Shanghai Roar and was released in 2018 as part of her 'I Told You I'd Tell Them Our Story' album. Tune in!
