Alt-pop singer Carlie Hanson to join Joel Madden on Ep. 2 of Artist Friendly

Get excited: Another episode of Artist Friendly is on the way.

Last week, Alternative Press debuted the first episode of the new music podcast hosted by Good Charlotte frontman Joel Madden and featuring interviews with some of the most exciting talent in alternative today.

After sitting down with alternative rock artist DE’WAYNE to kick things off, on this week’s episode, Madden welcomes Wisconsin-born-LA-based singer-songwriter Carlie Hanson for another in-depth chat ahead of the release of her upcoming new single, due out next week. Premiering Friday, Jan. 27, Hanson details her humble beginnings in rural Wisconsin, how she discovered her love for music, and her whirlwind journey going viral and finding her stunning indie/alternative sound. Hanson also touches on topics such as mental health, lyrical honesty, and being unapologetically herself, making for a truly forthcoming interview with the young artist.

Following the release of a series of mature singles in 2022, including “608,” “Illusion,” and “Pretender,” Hanson is now gearing up for her next full-length album (tentatively due in 2023) and set to embark on the Home is Where the Heart Is tour, her first-ever North American headlining run, which kicks off Feb. 28.

Make sure to tune in to wherever you listen to podcasts on Friday, Jan. 27 to catch this career-spanning conversation with rising alt-pop artist Carlie Hanson.
