I spoke with Michelle Zauner of Japanese Breakfast about reconnecting with her dad, finding balance between competing desires, and making melancholy music. Check out the @npr.org piece on Morning Edition www.npr.org/2025/03/21/n...

Kendrick killed Drake on "Not Like Us" and now on GNX he's dancing on his grave

WHAT.
