When I first sat down to record the episode for SABLE, fABLE, I was exhausted and hit a wall. Nothing would come out. But as the week went on, something shifted, and suddenly all the words and emotions poured out. This album is deeply emotional, and in one moment while recording, it caught me off guard and I cried. I've decided to leave that moment in. It’s raw, it’s human, and it’s a reminder that music isn’t just something we listen to - it’s something we feel.In this episode, I give a shoutout to one of my favourite music reactors, who's reaction to this album moved me to tears!

On this episode of Throwback Friday, I revisit Lifeblood by Manic Street Preachers - a bold departure in sound, released in 2004 and met with a lukewarm response.
