This week we have one of my favourite singers right now - shiv. The Irish-Zimbabwean artist just dropped her stunning new debut album 'the defiance of a sadgirl'.Written during a time of personal upheaval, Shiv’s album is more than just music—it’s a journey through healing and self-discovery. After breaking up with her management, label, long-term partner, and moving back to Ireland from London, Shiv channeled all that emotion into a project that explores themes of self-love, renewal, and acceptance.In this episode, we talk about:How creating this album helped her heal after major life changesThe influence of her time in Uganda on the production and songwriting process Collaborating with Bricknasty Synchronicity in her music and lifeMake sure to subscribe it helps a lot ❤️Shout out to RiRa for sponsoring this season of the podcast - https://www.ri-ra.beer/Shout out to WHIPITCONALL on making the jingle for the podcast check him out here: / whipitconall Follow shiv:  / hi_im_shiv  Follow me:  / deeeemurph    / mabfield   Hosted on Acast.
