Don’t need to wipe your glasses, your eyes do not deceive you. Yes, that’s THE Afgan on the pod this week.
We’re diving deep into the lore of Indonesia’s smoothest R&B icon: from writing baby-making music and doing vocal warmups in the toilet, to his love for Japan, defining relationships, and whether he’s actually an expert on romance.
Also featuring a first look at Mingyue’s fanboy moment. Put on your kacamata, you might wanna sit down for this one.
Pre-save Afgan’s album Retrospektif out Nov 19!
