Ep. 42 ANTI

Kiara Gets Drunk and Talks About Music

“This whiskey got me feeling pretty, so pardon if I’m impolite.” In Episode 42, we got to do things our own way, darling! Kiara welcomes back Endrita to the podcast for a review of Rihanna’s empowering album, ANTI (2016). In this episode we worship at the church of RiRi, toasting her with our Whiskey Sours while gushing over the record’s raw, drunken ballads combined with sickening samples and powerful collaborations, in addition to applauding her many successful business ventures and overall confidence, courage, and grace. We make sure to revisit the early years of her career; from “Pon De Replay” to her Live @ MUCH appearance, and laying down track after track that always made us (and Tom Holland!) want to dance, leading us to marvel at the evolution of a young girl from Barbados who turned herself into a multi-million-dollar mogul. And over the course of our discussion, Kiara and Endrita acknowledge and praise the long-overdue liberation of outspoken female entertainers and the shift of the pop culture landscape, in addition to reminiscing about their SNL obsession, Endrita’s late-night rendition of “Work”, and how they’re still holding out hope for Rihanna and Drake. Must be love on the brain!
