She has new music on the way and talks to us about being excited to release this new music, heading back out on tour, living in Norway and the importance of songwriting. We then jump to our music editor Sharon Hyland discussing Madonna’s Celebration tour - what a phenomenal experience. Thank you for listening!

We’re then joined by our music editor Sharon Hyland chatting about the Grammy’s 50^th anniversary celebration of Hip-Hop and why certain artists did not attend the event and also if certain female Hip-Hop artists might now release new music like Queen Latifah and MC Lyte. Thank you for listening!
