    A LIVE REVIEW OF BEYONCÉ'S 'RENAISSANCE' - 2022 LONDON PODCAST FESTIVAL

    Welcome back to Don’t Alert the Stans! On 17th September 2022, we were blessed with the opportunity to finally bring ‘Don’t Alert The Stans’ to the stage as part of the 2022 London Podcast Festival. As heavily teased on our social media accounts in the lead-up to the show, we chaired an in-depth discussion on all things pertaining to Beyoncé's latest album ‘RENAISSANCE’. After 4 years of doing the podcast, this marked our debut live show and we had an absolute ball. It was truly an honour and a dream come true. We want to send the maddest love to everyone who bought tickets and came down to share this moment with us in person. But of course we had to ensure that those who weren’t in attendance were able to listen to the insightful and hilarious conversation we had. So we’re happy to present the official live recording of our conversation… Not one to miss!

    ‘DO THE SHADOWING’ (N-Dubz Sell Out Reunion Arena Tour, Isaiah Rashad Comes Out As Sexually Fluid, Halsey’s Music Under Hostage Until She Goes Viral on TikTok)

    Welcome back to Don’t Alert the Stans! For this week’s episode, it’s just Nic and Sope as Eden enjoys a well deserved break in Portugal. Before proceeding with the planned agenda, Nic and Sope ease into episode by having an open catch up. Elaborating on how they’re both feeling as they juggle work, writing, side projects, mental health and adulthood (00:01:02). Kicking off the news section this week is N-Dubz who’s recently-announced reunion arena tour has completely sold out. Leading to a hilarious conversation about the memories of their early days on Channel U and Tulisa’s solo endeavours (00:41:35). Next up is Halsey who took to social media to reveal that her label is refusing to release new music from until she can engineer and fake a viral moment on TikTok. Nic points out that Halsey’s post was possibly an ironic spoof but demonstrates a growing trend among artists who are being pressured by their teams to be more active on the platform (00:58:45). Rounding out the episode is Isaiah Rashad who during an in-depth interview with Joe Budden came out as sexually fluid. Sope takes Budden to task for asking ignorant questions that implicate negative stereotypes about queerness, while Nic points out possible the motives behind Isaiah’s stating he’s fluid as opposed to a more defined category (01:14:41).

    'THE LONG GAME' (Jack Harlow X Brandy, Bobby Schmurda Fights Back, Knucks Lands Top 5 Album)

    Welcome back to Don’t Alert the Stans!  In this weeks episode, it is just Eden and Nic as Sope takes some R&R to refocus and prioritise his mental health. As we do the rounds to check on each other, Nic and Eden get into a conversation about their experiences with burnout as content creators/writers. Highlighting and acknowledging the pressures it levies on our current generation. Later in the discussion the boys discuss Jack Harlow's Hot 97 interview as he admits he had no idea Ray J and Brandy were siblings during a quiz game. The focus of the conversation was around erasure, #RespectingLegends but also the pressures of social media to get everything right all the time. We question whether people were being fair in their critiques, or harsh with their expectations? As the episode continues, the boys discuss Bobby Schumurda as the "Hot Nigga" rapper fights back against the legal practice of rappers lyrics being used as evidence in court cases. Opening about a discussion about how surveillance and structural racism affects the Black community. Eden refers to Ruha Benjamin's book "Race After Technology", focusing on surveillance culture and how technology disproportionally harms specifically black people. Rounding up the episode is a discussion surrounding Knucks and his new album 'Alpha Place' which debuted at No.3 on The UK Albums Chart (above Jack Harlow!).   Remember to RATE, REVIEW AND SUBSCRIBE!

Continuing on the mode of music that soothes and functions as an emotional solace, Eden gives a glowing recommendation of Natalie Lauren’s project ‘Handle With Care’ (00:27:14). During the listens section, Eden opens the floor to discuss what the appeal about Blxst is and considers whether he’s just ageing out of the sounds and trends associated with US mainstream Hip-Hop (00:35:37).

Leading Sope to question whether she’s actually retiring and look back on how Kanye West and GOOD Music routinely dropped the ball on her career progression (00:50:23). Rounding out this week’s episode is TikTok who have launched their own music distribution service SoundOn, which has been described as an all in one platform for music marketing and distribution. Inspiring a conversation about how TikTok’s increasing presence in the music space is threatening to destabilise many archaic institutions in music like record labels (01:01:00). Not one to miss!
