Show Notes
Spencer Sutherland joins Spout to talk about the new era behind “Life Is Glamorous,” why he wants big anthems, theatrical live shows, and old-school showmanship to come back, and how his next album came together during long writing days in Nashville.
He also tells the story of getting a DM that led to working with A$AP Rocky, how a viral Teddy Swims “Lose Control”duet changed what people recognized him for, and what it felt like when his original music started connecting online. Spencer looks back at “Selfish,” The X Factor UK, The Drama, and the years it took to figure out what kind of artist he actually wanted to be.
The conversation also covers acting, working with Meghan Trainor, reading comments, fan girls having better instincts than music executives, and why being “the most chalant” might be the real Spencer Sutherland brand. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
