  • Summary

  • For more than 50 years, the writers at Rolling Stone have been sitting down with artists to get inside their sound, their creative process, and the realities of being a musician — but what happens when we take the writer away and ask two great artists to interview each other? In each episode, two iconic musicians sit down for a conversation about their discography, artistic approaches, personal lives, and everything in between. With the artists in charge, no topic is off-limits. The Musicians on Musicians podcast offers extended, deep-dive versions of the conversations between artists that you can read in the November issue of Rolling Stone. With the musicians in the driver’s seat, this is not your typical interview series. You’ll get to hear the moments in which two musical forces connect — artist to artist, person to person. Musicians on Musicians is adapted from Rolling Stone’s popular franchise.

  • Kathleen Hanna + Syd

    Kathleen Hanna + Syd
    Nov 15 2022
    What happens when we take the writer away and ask two groundbreaking female artists from two different genres to interview each other? On the final episode of Musicians on Musicians, Kathleen Hanna meets with Syd to talk about learning to sing, star signs, and what it means to be a rebel. Kathleen Hanna is a pioneer of the feminist punk movement, and she’s as active as ever, performing sold out shows across the country with her iconic bands Bikini Kill and Le Tigre. At a Hollywood studio this fall, punk rock's original "Rebel Girl" met with Syd, who's highly respected in R&B and hip-hop for the unconventional path she's carved out with her band, The Internet, and as a solo act. The conversation revealed two women with a unique ability to connect deeply to their audience through their music, and to each other through their individual forms of female empowerment.

  • Common + John Legend

    Common + John Legend
    Nov 2 2022
    What happens when we take the writer away and ask two old friends and Oscar-winning collaborators to dive into what drives their music and their words? Today, we hear Common and John Legend discuss the emotional nature of collaboration and how their shared activism has connected them forever. In the past few years, John Legend has cemented his position as the king of inspirational R&B. His latest album, Legend, is a legitimate double album that features A-list guests and mixes snappy pop-funk with moving piano ballads. At a studio in New York this fall, he reconnected with another long-time friend and collaborator: Common. Legend has that EGOT; Common has a Grammy, Emmy and Oscar of his own, and the pair two won a Golden Globe and an Oscar for ‘Glory,’ the song they performed for the film Selma. And both have contributed their own entries to Audible’s Words + Music series, blending memoir and performance to bring listeners closer to their unique journeys as artists.The conversation revealed the strength of their bond — and a mutual appreciation of the way that art can serve as an important bridge between cultures.

  • RM (of BTS) + Pharrell Williams

    RM (of BTS) + Pharrell Williams
    Nov 1 2022
    What happens when we take the writer away and ask two pop phenoms, from two completely different places and generations, to interview each other? On today's episode, Pharrell sits down with RM of BTS to talk about the price of fame, the keys to creativity, and why it's important to take a break every so often. RM went from aspiring underground rapper in South Korea to performing in sold-out stadiums around the world as the leader of BTS. Now, he's working on his first official solo album. At the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles this fall, the young superstar met with Pharrell Williams, whose one-of-a-kind career as a producer, rapper, and singer has spanned decades. The conversation highlighted the way both artists use their emotions in their work: from the value of pain to the electric experience of playing for the whole world to the intimacy of producing another artist's work.

Legends in Conversations

Whether you are an A.R.MY. (like me) and/or a lover of great music & those who create, produce & perform it, you will likely find this conversation between these two great musicians & influencers quite engrossing & satisfying. The obvious respect & admiration that RM of BTS and Pharrell Williams have for each other is touching & inspiring as they discuss the professional & personal successes and challenges of their phenomenal musical careers. The introspection & humility of these two wonderfully talented & accomplished musicians is both enlightening & endearing. I absolutely love this interview, and I look forward to their individual & collaborative musical projects with great anticipation. Wow, BTS + Pharrell music!
