Today Sue and Nick are joined in the Chatterbox studio by Barry Manilow, who announces his first new studio album in nearly 15 years, What A Time, out on June 5 Featuring Collaborations with Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, Dave Cobb, Michael Lloyd and More With a career spanning more than five decades, 85 million albums sold worldwide, 52 Top 40 singles (including 13 No. 1 hits) and recognition as Billboard’s No. 1 Adult Contemporary Artist of all time, Barry Manilow remains one of the most celebrated entertainers in modern music. His new studio album, What A Time, due out June 5, marking his first album of new material in nearly 15 years. Produced by Manilow and longtime collaborator Michael Lloyd, What A Time is Manilow’s 33rd studio album and his first almost all-original LP since 2011’s 15 Minutes, which debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200. The album brings together an eclectic and cross-generational collection that pairs Manilow’s signature melodic grandeur with fresh textures and stylistic turns — from classic, string-swept torch songs to groove-driven R&B flourishes, heartland rock touches, and gospel-inspired crescendos. What A Time arrives amid a banner year for Manilow. In addition to his arena tour and landmark Las Vegas residency, Manilow continues to extend his impact beyond recording and touring. In April 2026, he will receive the American Advertising Federation’s prestigious President’s Award at the Advertising Hall of Fame induction ceremony, recognizing his iconic work in advertising, where he has composed and performed some of the most memorable jingles in history for brands including State Farm, Band-Aid, KFC, Pepsi, and McDonald’s. Through the Manilow Music Project, he has invested millions of dollars into rebuilding music education programs nationwide, purchasing instruments, restoring band and orchestra departments, and directly supporting public schools to ensure future generations have access to music education. With What A Time, Barry Manilow adds a vibrant new chapter to a legacy defined not only by longevity and chart dominance, but by craftsmanship, reinvention, and an enduring connection to audiences across generations.

    The Ingrid (Josh and Jess)

    Today's episode is brought to you in association with the Strong Coffee Company. Please scroll down to the bottom for your exclusive 20% discount. Listen out for more from the Strong Coffee Company on today's podcast. Today we are joined in the Chatterbox studio by Josh and Jess of The Ingrid Rising UK trio, The Ingrid return with their third single Lullaby - a track that blends dream-pop, shoegaze, and alt-rock textures into something both beautiful and quietly unnerving. Drawing inspiration from artists like The Sundays, Wolf Alice, The Smiths and The Marías, The Ingrid have quickly carved out a sound defined by contrast - where melodic calm meets emotional unease, and softness gives way to something far more complex beneath the surface. Formed at university in Chichester, the trio - Jess Charleslyn, Will Hornsblow and Josh Platt - bring together a unique mix of influences. Charleslyn’s roots as a minimalist singer-songwriter (inspired by early Dodie) have evolved into layered arrangements of vocals, guitar and keys. Hornsblow’s blues-leaning guitar style cuts through the band’s dreamy textures, while Platt approaches drums with a storytelling instinct shaped by classic rock traditions. Their latest single, Lullaby, plays on the very idea its title suggests. Traditionally, a lullaby is meant to comfort - to create a sense of safety. But here, The Ingrid flips that expectation, exploring what happens when that sense of comfort feels performative rather than real. The track dives into themes of emotional illusion and surface-level empathy - the kind of connection that appears deep and sincere yet reveals itself to be something much more fragile. As Charleslyn explains: “It starts with something specific, but it’s not truly autobiographical – it’s more about a type of behaviour people recognise.” Rather than confronting its subject directly, Lullaby exists in a space of quiet awareness - observing the illusion while still engaging with it. The result is a song that feels intimate, ambiguous, and at times uncomfortably familiar. Following previous singles Limerence - a study of obsessive projection - and Mother, which explored memory and perception, Lullaby hints at a deeper thematic thread running through the band’s work. Whether intentional or not, the progression suggests a growing narrative taking shape. With increasing momentum and subtle signs of a debut album in the works, The Ingrid are steadily positioning themselves as one of the most compelling emerging voices in the UK alternative scene. www.theingridband.com Elevate your coffee routine with Strong Coffee Company's "Black" instant blend and lattes.
