Episode notes

Natasha Bedingfield wasn't the only one reaching for something in the distance in the early 2000s.

We grew up with Allie Crystal, platinum-record songwriter, singer, and music producer known for co-writing global hits like "SNAP" (Rosa Linn), "Reverie" (Illenium), tracks with Jax, Timmy Trumpet, and countless others. Needless to say, she is so much cooler than we are, but lucky for us, she was willing to sit down for a bit and catch us up on the past couple decades. She's extremely honest about the the road she's traveled, the hurdles she faced, the breaks, the sparks, and her latest big adventure: motherhood.

Allie also previews her next album with Jax, which is all about pregnancy and postpartum. Allie co-wrote and produced Jax's newest song, "An Airport Bathroom," which cuts right to the heart of pregnancy loss is the simplest and most profound way. It had us sobbing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HQVda6FXzw

Listen in for Allie's recap of her dream chasing, music making life, and stay tuned for the new album, which drops this fall!
