The artist talks Trying Times, his seventh studio album, his relationship with technology and playing live.

There's a particular kind of conversation that happens only when an artist feels truly understood, a moment where the usual promotional chatter falls away to reveal something more genuine. That's the space where The Zane Lowe Interview Series lives. Hosted by Apple Music's own Zane Lowe, this podcast is built on a reputation for depth and a unique rapport that the most influential names in music have come to trust. You'll hear more than just the origins of a hit single; these are sprawling, candid dialogues that delve into creative process, personal history, and the unvarnished realities of life at the peak of the industry. From chart-topping pop icons to groundbreaking hip-hop artists and revered rock figures, the common thread is their willingness to engage in Lowe's thoughtful, prepared, and often disarming style. Each episode feels less like an interview and more like a revealing, in-depth portrait, offering listeners a backstage pass to the thoughts and stories that rarely make it into a standard press cycle. Tune in for the kind of substantive, meandering, and insightful talk about music and life that has made this series a essential listen for anyone curious about the people behind the art.
