Episode notes
Before the mix, before the master, before the playlist pitch - there’s the song. In this episode, we dig into why songwriting is the foundation of every great record and how melody, lyrics, structure, and emotion shape everything that comes after. We talk about what production can enhance, what mixing can’t fix, and how focusing on the core of your song can transform your entire creative process.
