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 changes
• The influence of her time in Uganda on the production and songwriting process 🌍
• Collaborating with Bricknasty
• Synchronicity in her music and life
