Taylor Swift’s Wedding, Madonna Album Review, and a Music Master Class with James Ellis Ford

Taylor Swift’s Wedding, Madonna Album Review, and a Music Master Class with James Ellis Ford

In a monumental week for music news, Annie and Nick sit down to discuss their thoughts on Madonna’s long-awaited Confessions II – after months of worrying it might be anticlimactic, what do they think about the album?

And Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce had one of the most musically relevant weddings of all time but what should we learn from their rumoured choice of first dance song? And are there any rules we should stick to for wedding playlists?

Plus, Wonderwall is having a moment in the 2026 World Cup, could Oasis get involved if England make the Final?

Annie and Nick also speak to the incredible producer and musician, James Ellis Ford, about his upcoming album. James has produced albums for Arctic Monkeys, Pulp, Florence and the Machine, Jessie Ware, Fontaines D.C., Carly Rae Jepsen, the Pet Shop Boys, and so many more. He talks to Annie and Nick about how he works with artists to create truly brilliant music, and how it was to make this latest solo album in a completely isolated and daunting environment – a hospital room. Plus, is James worried about how AI will change the way music producers have to work?

Lost in Another World is out on 14th August (Nick’s birthday)
