About this listen

 Vinyl Talks is a podcast that takes a closer look at music through the songs, albums, and artists that define it. Each episode focuses on music, exploring its sound, the ideas behind it, and the influence it left behind. From classic releases to modern projects, the goal is not just to understand how the music was made, but why it still matters.Mason Forsberg Music

    In this episode, we break down Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN. track by track—unpacking its themes of pride, love, fear, faith, and fate. We explore how the album tells a story of moral conflict when played forward, and how, in reverse, it transforms into a darker narrative of Kendrick choosing wickedness over weakness.
