DOM POP: Recent Episodes

Dom Pop

A plane's going down, there's only one parachute, which pop star do you save? Join renowned bicoastal homosexuals Quincy and Hayden every Friday as they discuss latest trends, releases and throwbacks to some of pop's most dominant moments. Each episode is a quasi-hour of laughs, questionable puns, and an endless, unabashed celebration of pop music.

For our 6th Carly episode (!!), we dive straight into the deep end of her newest effort, 'The Loveliest Time, which arrives less than a year after it's companion project 'The Loneliest Time'. Throughout our track-by-track, we discuss the similarities (and differences) between the two records, the evolution of Carly's 'Side B' releases, the inner-workings of her songwriting process, and why this album feels so different than her others.

...

After debuting in 2017, JORDY quickly became a tiktok sensation after multiple viral hits that eventually led to a record deal and the publishing of not one, but two studio albums in the years that followed. You can find Jordy on social media @jordymusic - or @iamjordy on Tiktok (don't ask) and find tour info here: https://www.jordymusic.com/

This week, Quincy sits down with queer indie pop icon MYYLO to discuss the release of his debut album, 'Ahh', which is streaming on all platforms. Over the course of their track-by-track, Myylo & Quincy discuss his experience within the Nashville songwriting scene, the differences between writing for himself & writing for other artists and he dishes on his instinctive refusal to dignify himself to homophobia.

Since debuting in 2017, MYYLO has amassed a dedicated following (he lovingly refers to as Sodomyytes™) through collaborations with other artists and his cheeky online persona (matched only in charisma and character by his own music). Notably, he's written songs for queer beacons like Dorian Electra & Zolita, and has also collaborated with (and opened for) Jordy!
