Music Interviews
Every major artist has those standout blockbuster hits that come to define their careers. For Adele, it’s “Hello” and “Rolling in the Deep.” For Drake, it’s “In My Feelings,” “God’s Plan,” and “Hotline Bling.” For Maren Morris, it's "The Bones" and "The Middle." For Beyoncé, we admit, it might be too many to list here. Every other week on Essentials Radio, a rotating cast of hosts explores the hits that turned some of their favorite artists into superstars and household names, and celebrates the anniversaries of their most famous albums.

Rissi Palmer has lived and breathed country music her whole life. But as someone who knows the genre better than anyone, she’s decided that enough is enough: "It’s time for country music to know where the f**k it came from," she says. We couldn’t agree more. On her Apple Music Country radio show Color Me Country, the singer-songwriter brings to the forefront the Black, Indigenous, and Latinx histories of country music that for too long have lived outside the spotlight and off mainstream airwaves. Listen in as Rissi has riveting, funny, and necessary conversations with country music's most vital and underrepresented voices.
