This week, Charlie talks to Lauv, the singer, songwriter and producer behind unfailingly catchy tracks such as \u201cMean It\u201d and \u201cI Like Me Better.\u201d Lauv\u2019s a master at making the sad feel fun\u2014masking themes of anxiety and betrayal with upbeat, percussive production. He even does a bit of the opposite, too, by infusing his joyful songs with vulnerability and emotional complexity. You\u2019ll soon be able to hear all of that and more on his debut studio album, ~how I\u2019m feeling~, out later this week. Our conversation explores Lauv\u2019s song-making process and touches on everything from T Swift (Lauv counts himself a fan), \u201cmind\u201d rhymes, and the particular nuances of loneliness in the internet age. Today\u2019s episode also features the voices of some of our wonderful listeners--special thanks to Katy, Sadie, Robert, Genevieve, Keen and everyone else who wrote in with questions for Lauv.\nSongs Discussed:\n\nLauv with Anne-Marie - fuck, i'm lonely\n\nLauv & LANY - Mean It\n\nLauv - I Like Me Better\n\nLauv & Troye Sivan - i\u2019m so tired...\n\nLauv - Changes\n\nLauv - Modern Loneliness\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
