Black Country Disco, Part 2 (with Tom Aspaul)

Nov 16, 2020

In this two part episode, we're putting the Disco in Black Country Disco, with our musical guide: Tom Aspaul, a songwriter whose credits include Kylie Minogue, MNEK, AlunaGeorge and more. What's the difference between British pop and Britpop? Who sings with their British accent? How do American approach songwriting differently? Only one way to find out (aside from Google), listen to the episode! You can follow Tom at @tom_aspaul, Megan at @iamsolamusic, and DON'T follow AJ at @ajmarksofficial across all social media platforms. The songs played in this episode are "Close 2 Me" and "01902" by Tom Aspaul.
