    2026/05/14

    Pop’s reigning IT girl — and mother of the pod — JADE adds a Tiny Desk Concert to her ever-growing list of debut-era milestones. But does her high-concept performance style translate to an intimate, stripped-back set?


    Meanwhile, Ben and Mikey dive deep into new releases from Millennial Mothers Kesha and Charli XCX (for longer than the tracks actually run) before rallying in defence of overdog Harry Styles and his divisive dance moves.

They unpack the season 2 cast reveal, debate whether Kylie Minogue’s life story really needs a three-part documentary, and attempt to answer the all-important question: what exactly is an echelon?

    Ben & Mikey’s ultimate Queens of Pop are back with new tracks. Madonna teams up with Sabrina Carpenter, while Gaga delivers original songs for The Devil Wears Prada 2 soundtrack — including a collab with Doechii. But the real question is: will we ever get the Madonna x Gaga moment the community deserves?


    Elsewhere, the boys get into it: has Kacey Musgraves perfectly captured the post-break up experience? Are we seeing Melanie C in her Sporty Spice prime? And what do we like — and dislike — about the trend of remix albums?

    2026/05/04

    Ben & Mikey wax lyrical about why the latest sit down between Taylor Swift and the NYT Magazine is probably her best interview to date — a laser focused examination of her songwriting process. Which tracks got honourable mentions? What revelations were most surprising? And is Taylor’s reason for singing ‘slow’ in ‘Our Song’ justified?


    In other news, Consequence of Sound have ranked The 100 Best Vocalists of All Time and Ben puts Mikey to the test: can he guess who made the cut?


    Plus, the boys share their random recommendations: ‘Alan Carr’s Interior Design Masters’ and ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ — both the film and the book that inspired it.

  • Did You Queer About… Mother Mary and Demi Lovato’s ‘It’s Not That Deep (Unless You Want It To Be)’?
    2026/04/30

    Anne Hathaway might just be the greatest pop star we never had — singing, strutting, and dancing her way through Mother Mary in performances that writer-director David Lowery says were inspired by Taylor Swift’s Reputation Tour. But the boys are left wondering: does the film truly rise to meet such a once-in-a-generation pop culture moment?


    Also up for debate this week: is the rollout for Madonna’s new album her gayest campaign yet? Are comparisons between high-gloss perfume adverts and the “Runway” video by Lady Gaga and Doechii complimentary or derogatory? And does the deluxe edition of Demi Lovato’s latest album go as deep as the boys hoped?


    Queer is a full list of what was discussed:


    🎧 Music:

    CONFESSIONS II (Madonna)

    DROP DEAD (Olivia Rodrigo)

    PETAL (Ariana Grande)

    RUNWAY (Lady Gaga & Doechii)

    IT’S NOT THAT DEEP [UNLESS YOU WANT IT TO BE] (Demi Lovato)
