Doechii! NewJeans! Ye! Answering Your Pop Music Questions

It’s Popcast mailbag time, in which we field listener and reader questions about all of the most pressing topics in popular music.

On this week’s episode, the hosts — including The New York Times pop critic Jon Caramanica and the pop reporter Joe Coscarelli, plus the pop music editor Caryn Ganz — address your thoughts and concerns about:

  • The rise of Doechii, the young rap star turning viral fame into pop success

  • Olivia Rodrigo’s role as a spirit guide for the eccentric pop stars of the day, like Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter

  • The coherence of Lady Gaga’s latest album, “Mayhem”

  • The ongoing legal situation between NewJeans and Hybe

  • The latest provocations and music from Ye, formerly Kanye West

  • And whether great pain is inextricable from great art, per a recent interview with Bon Iver
