Our guest today is Australia’s very own Gen-Z pop princess, Mallrat. The Brisbane-born, now Melbourne and LA-based artist is back this week with her brand-new record, Light Hit My Face Like a Straight Right—a stunning album that sees her weaving together obscure hip-hop samples, melancholic pop melodies, and introspective lyricism in a way that feels both unexpected and deeply affecting. In today’s episode, we chat with Grace Shaw, aka Mallrat, about the creative process behind this album, working with producers like Chrome Sparks, and her love of sampling—breaking down how she crafted tracks like Pavements and what makes the perfect sample. Plus, we discuss bringing these songs to life on stage and how they take on a new energy in a live setting.
