from Jrodconcerts: The Podcast · host Jamie A Rodriguez

Thrilled to welcome the incredible Noelle Scaggs, co-lead singer of the multi-platinum band Fitz and the Tantrums! Fresh off the release of their anxiously awaited new album, Man on the Moon, we dive deep with Noelle into the creative process behind the band's signature soulful, pop-infused sound. The new album, a prime example of a band at the peak of its craft, is already "guaranteed to put some pep in your step." In this wide-ranging conversation, Noelle reflects on the band's remarkable journey, 16 years into their career. She shares her thoughts on working a "tremendous musical legacy," and whether she ever takes a moment to fully appreciate the impact of their music, which has amassed billions of streams, landed hundreds of syncs, and soundtracked countless professional sporting events. We also get an inside look at the songwriting for Man on the Moon, discussing how the band approached creativity with freedom and without commercial pressure. Noelle also reveals her secret to maintaining a "peak emotional state," offering insights into how she stays in such a great place mentally and emotionally. Known for their high-energy live performances at legendary festivals like Bonnaroo, Coachella, and Lollapalooza, Fitz and the Tantrums have delivered countless hits including the 4x-Platinum “HandClap,” 3x-Platinum “Out of My League,” and Platinum “The Walker.” Join us for this can't-miss conversation with a true force in the music world! __ Support the Show: DUNKIN': Try Jamie's favorite summer drink, the Dunkin’ Pink Spritz Refresher.
