Beginning 2021 by continuing their mini-series on lyric writing, Will and Nathan welcome Vicky Kavanagh from Bikini Body on to the show to talk about her approach to lyric writing and what makes good and 'effective' lyrics. In the episode they also cover different interpretations by listeners, narrative vs abstract lyrics, jeering on audiences and purposefully writing for clarity or ambiguity. Finally, they finish by giving tips to new artists on how they can get started. If you enjoy listening to Vicky chat about her lyrics, make sure to check our Bikini Body on your music platform of choice and buy their music on Bandcamp! Will and Nathan rated it their no. 2 EP of 2020, so it must be good. Here's the playlist for tracks talked about in this episode: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/56XXbqz66k1RmuX0MQlAMG?si=l36EOJsWRQGUzPLEQ5WVyA">https://open.spotify.com/playlist/56XXbqz66k1RmuX0MQlAMG?si=l36EOJsWRQGUzPLEQ5WVyA</a>
