Post author By vish
Post date October 30, 2025

Shad returns to discuss his new album Start Anew, the connections between its title and his 2005 debut, When This is Over, and a Hayden song, persona, the person, and ego death, yearning for challenges in life and creative work, conquering the fear of stories ending, anti-capitalism, technocracy, and the fact that the inventor of A.I. believes there’s a small chance it might kill all of us and people are ignoring him, the devaluation of music, addiction and smartphones, ending another musical chapter, touring, other future plans, and much more!
