The Hormones, The Obsession with Tiffany Topol

Tiffany Topol's debut album, Sophomore Effort, is a bubbly, swooning, nostalgic pop record years in the making. I'm so happy she came on this show to share her anxieties about death and have a full-on psychological epiphany.

Content warning: seeing NSYNC live as a 14-year-old, sensory deprivation chamber, friend's death, crying to Beyonce's Lemonade, how reliable is your memory?
