In this episode, Arlo is joined by Wolf Alice’s frontwoman Ellie Rowsell. Together, they talk about the joys of dramatic vocals and the reasons for self-censoring. Including the sultry vocals from Kate Bush, lyrical honesty from Frank Ocean and gorgeous vocal harmonies from American vocal trio of sisters The Roches.

Also, Arlo shares her favourite opening lyric from The National and how music has been a comfort to her during her transition to living in a different country.
