Making The Album
We all have albums we can’t live without, but have you ever wondered how they were created?
Making The Album is a PopBuzz podcast and video series in which we take you, the fans, inside the recording process of your favourite records. Each episode will focus on a different album and you’ll get to hear the artist open up about what inspired the project and break down every single track. This is what the album means to the artist in their own words.
