This week’s My Mission Is… podcast guest is Sharleen Spiteri. Mission’s usual co-host sits on the other side of the mic for this episode, as she and her band Texas celebrate 30 years together with the release of a new album in 2021. The band already released a new single for the album last December, “Hi,” featuring hip-hop royalty and their long-time collaborators Wu-Tang Clan. With over 40 million records sold, three albums to have gone number one in the U.K, Texas and Sharleen’s journey continues to wow listeners around the world.

In this episode, Sharleen talks to Mission’s Editor-in-Chief Karina Givargisoff about the tumultuous past year and what it’s like to write during lockdown. The Texas frontwoman also delves into her past, discussing everything from her experience with bullies in high school to her 30 years of experience working in the music industry.
