Second Time Lucky

Alice Levine hears stories of trying, failing, trying again and succeeding. She talks to John Newman, Foxes, Metronomy, Run the Jewels, Wolf Alice, All Time Low and Oritse.

Some bands and artists make it big on their first attempt. But for most, there are dead ends, false starts and a whole load of lessons learned before success comes knocking.

So what happens between an act making music for fun for the first time, through to them getting chart success, being played on the radio or selling out tours?

For some, it's about finding a collaborator who unlocks something within them; for others it's about ditching one sound and deciding on another; for others it's about hitting a brick wall, and being determined to climb over it.

In Second Time Lucky, Alice Levine hears from John Newman, Foxes, Metronomy, Run The Jewels, Wolf Alice, All Time Low and Oritse - once hitting the heights with JLS, now carving a solo career with OWS - about trying, failing, learning, trying again, and succeeding.
