    #257 7 Flights, 100 Nights: Anthony Llewellyn Designing Soul for the Modern Listener

    In this episode of Unfiltered & Undiscovered, we sit down with modern soul visionary Anthony Llewellyn. Operating under his defining tagline, "Timeless Soul. Global Sound," Anthony is redefining R&B by stepping away from short-lived trends to craft expansive, concept-driven music chapters. We dive deep into the architecture of his catalogue—tracing his journey from the raw vocal focus of Just a Man on the Mic to the rich arrangements of his album The Balladeer. Anthony breaks down his creative process, balancing his gospel roots with operatic scale and big-band influences, and shares what it takes to design live experiences tailored for intimate, high-end spaces like his 7 Flights 100 Nights tour. Plus, we talk about his upcoming high-profile collaborations with Pharrell Williams, Scott Storch, and Kanye West. Key Discussion Points The Blueprint of "Chapters": Why Anthony organizes his discography as distinct, narrative eras rather than isolated single releases. High-Powered Alignments: Integrating distinct producer styles without losing his signature baritone identity. Redefining the Live Experience: How the 7 Flights 100 Nights performance format prioritizes mood, setting, and intimate connection. Featured Songs in This Episode "Body of the Church" (feat. Nph'Elihm) – From the album [The Balladeer]A raw, soul-stirring track that bridges deep-rooted gospel harmonies with contemporary vocal arrangements. "Lets Make a Baby" – From the album [The Balladeer]A standout cut showcasing Anthony's smooth baritone vocals, romantic storytelling, and classic R&B sensibility.

    In this episode of Unfiltered & Undiscovered, Curly, Braggy, and Rossy sit down for an unfiltered chat with Newcastle-based country-pop singer-songwriter Kylie Jane.    From her early days competing on the high-pressure showjumping circuit to grinding out four to five live gigs a week, Kylie has built a reputation as one of the hardest-working independent performers around. We dive deep into her experience on The Voice Australia, her debut album Black Swan, and the studio heart-to-heart with producer Jake Davey that completely scrapped her original recording plans and birthed her soaring new anthem, "Seasons Changing."

    #253 Deep Groove, Deep Feel: The Raw Blues of Sam Buckley

    In this episode, we sit down with Australian blues singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Sam Buckley. After spending over two decades as a high-caliber sideman and lead guitarist—most notably with Melbourne's award-winning outfit Dreamboogie—Sam stepped out from behind the lead guitar role to stake his claim as a solo frontman. We dive deep into his journey: growing up on a 100-acre farm playing church jams with his dad, logging over 110,000 kilometers in a motorhome on the Australian festival circuit, and recording his debut solo album Blue Ocean at Memphis' legendary Royal Studios with producer Lester Snell. Sam also breaks down the technical dynamic of his solo rig, creating a full-band experience ground-up through foot percussion, acoustic rhythm switching, and electric lead layering—all without backing tracks. Links & Resources Mentioned Official Website: sambuckleymusic.com Debut Album / Title Track: Blue Ocean Endorsements: Elixir Strings & National Music You can listen to the title track of his debut album, recorded at Royal Studios in Memphis, on YouTube: Sam Buckley - Blue Ocean.

    #250 Jack Biilmann: Darker Lyrics, Independent Struggles & A Few Scoops Along the Way

    This week on Unfiltered & Undiscovered, we sit down with Australian singer-songwriter and guitarist Jack Biilmann for a conversation that goes well beyond the music. Jack has built a reputation for blending blues, roots, rock and country influences, but it's his newer material — and the darker, more self-deprecating side of his songwriting — that really gives us something to dig into. We explore where those lyrics come from, what happens when you turn the spotlight inward, and whether songwriting can become a way of confronting the parts of yourself you'd rather keep hidden. But this conversation isn't just about writing songs. Jack opens up about the reality of being an independent artist — the challenges, the compromises, the persistence required to keep creating, performing and building an audience without the machinery of a major label behind you. And, because this is Unfiltered & Undiscovered, there are a few surprises along the way. 👀 Several scoops emerge during the conversation, giving us some insight into what's happening behind the scenes and where Jack's musical journey might be heading next. It's honest, revealing, occasionally dark, and packed with the kind of conversation we love having on the show. In this episode: 🎵 The evolution of Jack's songwriting 🖤 The darker themes appearing in his newer music 🪞 Self-deprecating lyrics and looking inward 🎸 The freedom — and challenges — of being an independent artist 💰 The realities of making a living from music 🚐 Touring, performing and building an audience 🔥 What's happening with Jack Biilmann & The Black Tide 👀 A few Unfiltered & Undiscovered scoops 🎶 And where Jack's music is heading next This isn't just a conversation about the songs. It's a conversation about the person writing them. Due to Copyright, we are unable to feature Jack’s music in this episode.
