Nialler9 Podcast: 2020 is somehow the year of disco
Episode 114 of the pod and Niall and Andrea are talking a lot about dancefloors and disco.
That’s because our album of the week is from The Vision – Ben Westbeech and Kon’s guest-filled love letter to soul, disco and house. It feeds into a very good year for modern disco, when we couldn’t gather together in sweaty rooms and fields.
There are songs of the week to discuss from Biig Piig, Miley Cyrus, Sorcha Richardson and Billie Eilish.
