    How Tiffany Stringer Turned Her EP into a Cinematic Universe

    Singer-songwriter Tiffany Stringer joins Coco Mocoe in the Middle Row, recorded live at the Spotify Theater. The Texas-born, Atlantic Records artist opens up about the making of The Lone Starlet — her debut major-label EP dropping May 8th — a five-part cinematic concept project inspired by Babylon and Singin' in the Rain that follows a fictional actress through the highs and lows of fame. Tiffany talks about how she convinced Atlantic to greenlight high-budget music videos straight out of the gate, what it was actually like touring as a Kidz Bop kid at 15, the odd jobs she worked when she first moved to LA (including babysitting a tortoise), and the TikTok commitment in 2023 that changed everything. She also gets into the philosophy behind her visual branding, the real-life inspiration behind her songs, and the emotional tension at the heart of The Lone Starlet — performing a version of yourself while figuring out who you actually are offstage. Co-signs from Halsey, Addison Rae, Tate McRae, and Dove Cameron. This one's a great one.If this episode made you feel something, the best thing you can do is leave a review on Apple or Spotify — it takes 30 seconds and it genuinely helps Middle Row reach more people.

    Why Slayyyter Doesn't Want to be a Main Pop Girl

    Slayyyter almost quit music. Now she's headlining Coachella with a live band, a major label deal, and an album she made purely for herself.The moment she stopped trying to go mainstream, the mainstream came to her.In this episode of Middle Row with Coco Mocoe, Slayyyter gets honest about the moment she decided to stop chasing commercial success and just make something she'd be proud of. They talk about the Saturn Return that stripped everything back, the Bunny Man lurking in her visuals, and how "Daddy AF" quietly became a good luck charm for indie cinema; such as, showing up in both Anora and Bodies Bodies Bodies before soundtracks.Plus: writing "Crank" in 30 minutes, the social climbing culture that inspired Starfucker, and why she'd rather drink at an old man biker bar than anywhere near Silver Lake 🍿If this episode made you feel something, the best thing you can do is leave a review on Apple or Spotify — it takes 30 seconds and it genuinely helps Middle Row reach more people.

We discuss her background growing up in NYC, her sister, Olivia Bond's, artistic direction, her influences from ABBA to Elvis and her hacks for finding new song titles and lyrical inspirations. Remy Bond is such a force. She is not only an artist, musically, but creating a world for her audience to escape to when reality seems grim. Something we don't see from even the most seasoned artists, if ever. She has a clear vision and a love for old technology that makes her art unique from the cookie cutter videos and songs we hear now-a-days. I am such a fan of Remy Bond and I am so lucky I get to say I got one of the first of many interviews to come for her! ❤️ To make it an easier viewing experience, here are the topics + time stamps: 0:30 - Makeup names1:57 - Trying snacks 4:09 - Growing up in NYC 5:04 - Early music influences (Sean Lennon, ABBA, Mamma Mia) 5:57 - Her grandpa had a small role in The Godfather 6:25 - Babylon got too much flack 8:02 - Where did the hair and flower come from 8:32 - Hollywood Hair Theory 9:10 - How did fans find her (Summer Song) 11:55 - Her sister’s involvement (Olivia Bond) 12:30 - Breaking down the “Simple Girl” music video 14:22 - Remy’s parents got married in the Vegas chapel in the music video 15:40 - Using the lipstick of old Hollywood stars 16:10 - Planning a tour 17:18 - Sun, moon and rising 18:10 - Her fascination with Elvis Where you can find more of Remy Bond: Remy Bond's YouTube Channel: @remylovesu Remy Bond's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/remylovesu/Remy Bond's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@remylovesu Remy Bond's Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2voadhFGdduSYHDvsVqyXo?si=JuOcfYzbR0GsYa4hubD0Hg Where you can find more of Coco Mocoe:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cocomocoe/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cocomocoeEmail: [email protected] the official "Middle Row" playlist on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/19x3n1ZRyN4eeikwSy8sL9?si=e4dc55829d754ad0&nd=1&dlsi=d97fc2d2e8c64f95Executive Producers: Coco Mocoe & Trinna Tracy Videographer: Operation PodcastEditor: Coco MocoeCreator: Coco MocoeFilming Location: Spotify LAComment below what music artist you think is next to take off!
