Kimiko Glenn on Modern Dance, Dating Chaos, and Turning Heartbreak Into Pop Songs

Kimiko Glenn says every relationship on her debut EP Modern Dance was either doomed from the start or became material eventually, and talking with Kyle Meredith, she gets into the very real stories behind it all. The Orange Is the New Black and Kiff star talks about finally putting her “secret” songs out into the world after years of treating music like a private diary, channeling grief into her first single “Oh Honey,” and finding a weirdly perfect lane between synth-pop confessionals and total visual chaos. They also get into dating in the age of the manosphere, emotionally intelligent men apparently becoming an endangered species, directing her own completely unhinged “Hang Out Forever” video, and why voice acting accidentally gave her the freedom to become a musician in the first place. Also, she’s playing Peni Parker in the new Spider-Man animated movie, which means Gerard Way technically helped create one of her next big roles.Listen to Kimiko Glenn chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://betterhelp.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
