    Mothica breaks down the world-building behind her new music and visuals, including the release of “Evergreen Misery” and “Save Your Roses,” and the upcoming five-song EP Somewhere In Between (out February 20). What started as an inside joke has evolved into a full creative universe — complete with lore, symbolism, and a heavier sonic direction fans are already calling “Rocka.” Mothica opens up about sobriety, rehab, anxiety, and the hard decision to cancel a major tour to prioritize her mental health. She talks candidly about addiction, creative rebirth, and learning to live in the gray area between extremes. The episode also goes into: Why this era leans heavier and more rock-driven The meaning behind Somewhere In Between Re-releasing “Vices” and rewriting its future Touring again after recovery and what’s different this time Her love of practical effects, moth lore, and visual storytelling Shrek, All Star, and why it somehow all makes sense Learn more about your ad choices.

    Five years to the day after Villain changed everything, Lily Rose hits a career milestone most artists only dream about — a platinum record, a sold-out tour, and a fully realized debut album. In this conversation, Lily Rose sits down with Erik Zachary to talk about the long road from part-time jobs and basketball refereeing to standing on the Opry stage, sharing it with artists she grew up idolizing. They dig into what actually makes a song connect, why Nashville has quietly become a pop-rock incubator, and how Lily studies crowds, choruses, and human behavior as closely as she studies music. Lily opens up about: The five-year journey of Villain and why it still closes her shows Her debut album I Know What I Want and why cohesion mattered more than chasing singles Writing with intention, collaboration, and honesty instead of formulas Touring life, burnout, and why downtime fuels her creativity How live arrangements, crowd energy, and discipline separate good shows from unforgettable ones This episode is a masterclass in patience, perspective, and playing the long game — for artists, creators, and anyone trying to build something that lasts.

    Dec 15 2025
    On this episode of Spout, Nick Major sits down with the Virginia-born, LA-based artist to talk about her evolution from viral POV creator to full-throttle alt-rock force. Bailey opens up about her newest single “Critical,” her heaviest release yet, and what pulled her toward darker, louder sounds after growing up on pop rock, musical theater, and bands like Evanescence, I Prevail, and Slipknot. She shares what it was like working with producer Erik Ron, discovering the freedom of breakdowns and heavy guitars, and why this next chapter of music feels like the most honest version of her yet. The conversation traces her journey from competitive swimmer to COVID-era TikTok breakout, navigating internet criticism, and slowly earning the confidence to step out from skits and into original music—even when the audience wasn’t ready. Bailey also talks about songwriting as survival, Disney influences shaping her sense of drama, family support, LA culture shock, touring dreams, tattoos, and why she’s officially done playing it safe.
