On IAN SWEET's latest trip to London following her release of SUCKER in Fall 2023, she was invited to the legendary Abbey Road Studios as part of their annual Amplify x Pitchfork London series to write and record with her old friends, Porridge Radio, resulting in their stirring new collaboration “Everyone's A Superstar.” She explains:

"We all went into this day with no expectations but also wide eyes and a lot of excitement! To be at Abbey Road was a dream, and to be reunited with Porridge Radio was also a dream, so it was so fun to see our old friends again in a totally new context and to make something special together. We all clicked in a really magical way right off the bat. Everyone sort of took their places and fit in where they had to. We came out of it with something I feel so proud of, and something I never knew would exist. Writing with Dana and seeing her process as a lyricist was really enlightening as well. It had been a long time since I’d written lyrics with someone else…I was excited to see where her mind went and how our two styles found one unique voice together." - Jilian Medford (IAN SWEET)

Porridge Radio adds:

Porridge Radio adds: “It was amazing to come into a room of 7 musicians with absolutely no idea what was going to happen and lock-in together to write and record a song that we actually all love in one day. Creatively it was so exciting and such a fun process and we’re so proud of what we made.” - Dana Margolin (Porridge Radio)

This new release furthers Jilian's resounding ability to “lean into high-adrenaline hooks and poignant self-reflection with confidence and grit” (Pitchfork). Listen to the track and watch the behind-the-scenes of the session below.
