MUSIC HISTORY
“My vision for Over It Radio is to create a safe space where I can own my own narrative and provide a platform for the women I admire in the entertainment industry to do the same,” Summer Walker tells Apple Music. “We discuss the topics that matter to them, without any hidden agendas.” On her new radio show on Apple Music 1, the Atlanta R&B artist keeps it real, sparking honest and open conversations over the course of six episodes. “Listeners can look forward to hearing powerful, accomplished women celebrating their successes,” she says. “Sharing their frustrations about what they’re ready to move on from and keeping it real about the challenges they face as women, mothers, and entrepreneurs.”

Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig is one of indie’s most thoughtful frontmen, and on TIME CRISIS, he digs into today’s politics and pop culture headlines. Some episodes are serious (he hits the campaign trail with Bernie Sanders, and teaches a masterclass on sampling) and some aren’t (you’ll hear heated debates about Cheetos, Yeezys, and Seinfeld), but each show gets an eclectic soundtrack that spans Drake, David Bowie, Diplo, and Def Leppard. Regular guests include Jonah Hill, Mike D, Alana Haim, and co-host Jake Longstreth, but you never know who could stop by. What you can be sure of: No topic is too high-or-low-brow for Ezra’s hot take.

MUSIC COMMENTARY
On his namesake show and New Music Daily, Apple Music 1’s flagship shows, host Zane Lowe brings users unparalleled music knowledge with headline interviews, breaking news, and emerging music from around the globe every day. It’s become the world’s go-to for the best brand-new music, sure, but it’s also popular music’s premier confessional booth: Day after day, Zane—who’s also Apple Music’s global creative director and co-head of artist relations—gets the biggest, most elusive superstars, from Justin Bieber to Taylor Swift to Kanye West, to let their guards down—laughs, tears, and news-making quotes are the norm. “I’m a curious person, I ask questions, and I guess if I'm passionate about something, I'll talk about it and engage people about it. I want to start a conversation and learn,” Zane explains of his approach. “Because the more you share, the more you learn, and vice versa. It’s just a circle that keeps spinning.” Zane earns guests’ trust with a music obsessive’s curiosity and enthusiasm, compassionate questioning, and firsthand music knowledge of life as an artist—he started his music career recording and performing, and continues to write, produce, and record. “The artist side of it, that really drives what I do,” he explains. “I'm not a conventional media-type personality. I’m no good at being a host, really. I'm not a journalist. I don't write, I'm not a writer. What I do is feel and translate.” Check out Zane on The Zane Lowe Show every Monday through Thursday on Apple Music 1 at 9 am LA/12 pm NYC/5 pm LDN and New Music Daily every Friday at 9 am LA, 12 pm NY, and 5 pm LDN.

“The” OG of Apple Interviews

Zane Lowe is not only a great interviewer of artists, but there is an ease with which he does it. I believe because he is an artist himself, he “sees” himself on the same level which makes the interview natural and flows easily. Imagine being “tapped” as the one to interview artists for Apple Music? He is living the dream, and doing it so with discretion, style and grace! Fantastic job Zane! You’re loved very much so many.

A white man of 27 comes to terms with his sexuality while traveling to places 99% can’t afford. This Shawn Mendes revamp is so ridiculous. While he tippy toes out of the closet, he asks for privacy. Not realizing at-eisk LGBTQ minors are taking their lives as they feel shame and alienation. To whom a lot is given, a lot is expected!

Unquestionably a great series of interviews. Alot of insights and engaged, flowing conversations. As someone who is not a fan of most of the Artists interviewed, I cannot deny the interviews are excellent.
