Welcome to my solo podcast!!! My name is Nicky and I used to work in the entertainment industry for 3 years on the social strategy & marketing side before I ever became a Creator. I am obsessed with analyzing the stories behind Music, Movies, and Marketing. I truly believe the media we consume is so important to our development and how we interact in society. Growing up in the suburbs of Virginia as a very closeted teenager, I remember how isolated I felt. It was Youtube and Music that made me feel scene for the first time. Hopefully I can make someone else feel that way too 3

    The 3 things that Build or Break a New Artist (ft Natalie Jane)

    What makes a great artist? To me its about so much more than just music. It's the ethos, the visuals, the writing, worldbuilding, and how they tap into culture.Those things seem so much easier to do when you have a big record label, funding for your music videos, or an entire team around you-- but how does a New Artist do those things?Well we sat down with @nataliejane to talk about exactly that! Discussing her journey as a homegrown artist on the internet to the release of her debut album, "The World I didn't Want" which just came out last week! 0:00 - Intro2:27 - Artistic Fantasy vs Reality4:45 - Intrusive Thoughts8:23 - The World I Didn't Want14:00 - Fallin'17:39 - How U Been?20:30 - Girls Will Be Girls26:03 - AVA27:30 - Visuals37:30 - Butterflies38:45 - Anyone but Myself

    The Disappointment of a Showgirl...

    It seems like the internet has had a LOT to say about Taylor Swift this past week...From the release of her album Life of a Showgirl, the diss track about Charli XCX, and releasing 28 vinyl variants in the first 2 days...I made a Tiktok about this, and lost 1,000 followers in a day. It was so crazy that it really got me thinking about this downfall of honest music journalism, and how stan culture has created such an argumentative environment where no one wants to here any sort of disagreement. Going as far as to be mean and try to "punish" someone for simply expressing an opinion different from their own#taylorswift #charlixcx #albumreview

    The Death of Nuance & the Age of Ragebait

    Why does everything feel like ragebait now? From the Sydney Sweeney and American Eagle Ad Campaign, crazy tiktok foods, debate shows, toxic fandoms, and ragebait marketing. EVERYTHING feels like extremism, and we have completely lost the idea of nuance. To like some things, dislike some things, and still be a fan. Now it feels like everything is a team sport-- where you have to endlessly defend your team. Instead of actually trying to have a conversation and learn from one another 0:00 - Intro 2:38 - Bonus Episode 4:16 - The History of Ragebait Marketing 7:53 - The Psychology of Ragebait 12:22 - The Rise of Extremism 14:30 - Sydney Sweeney American Eagle 17:59 - Why Bigotry Doesn't Work 24:13 - Jubilee 27:50 - Innocent Ragebait 33:04 - Why Ragebait Marketing Always Fails 37:37 - Charlie Kirk #videoessay #sydneysweeney #leftist #charliekirk

    The Addiction to Sadness (ft King Princess)

    Welcome back to Nicky at Night!!!This week we sit down with the one and only @kingprincess to discuss her new album "Girl Violence", writing "Fantastic" for the Arcane Sound Track, and what it was like to start acting in the show 9 Perfect Strangers. I was most fascinated by the theme of this album all together. How women who love each other so deeply, can sometimes use that connection as this tool of emotional warfare #kingprincess

    We are witnessing the death of the male popstar... We went from YEARS of The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Usher, NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, Justin Timberlake, Justin Bieber, One Direction, Harry Styles... and then just none. After the rise of Harry Styles, we have yet to see a single male rise to the upper echolon of pop music in nearly a DECADE However, in 2025 it FINALLY feels like we have some contenders. Sombr, Role Model, Conan Gray, and Troye Sivan have all started to have some of their biggest songs to date. So what changed? And what does a male artist need to break through in 2025?
