About this episode
Spencer Thomas discusses his album 'Cynical Vision' and the balance of humor and honesty in songwriting.
In Episode #275, Atlanta-based artist Spencer Thomas sits down with Osi to discuss his latest album Cynical Vision . They talk through how he approaches writing about modern life without losing the feeling of the music, using humor and a light touch to say something real without overexplaining it. The conversation also touches on social media, the weight of constant visibility, and why taking a step back to grow as an artist is part of keeping the work honest.
