Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump
- 2:25Caramanica recalls concertgoers' themed outfits and the unusually loud crowd at Karol G's stadium show.
- 6:23Karol G says "BBY WOW" joined the album just two days before the tracklist was finalized.
- 7:20Headlining Coachella brought nerves about representing Latino and Colombian culture on a major stage.
- 16:35Medellín producers learned reggaeton and developed a distinctive melodic approach, Karol G explains.
Karol G's interview has reached about 190,000 views, and Popcast has given one of its lighter subjects a separate outing: the Spanish pointers she gave Drake for their song "Ahí." That new clip is among the channel's busiest videos right now, though the full conversation remains its strongest daily draw.
The New York Times's Jon Caramanica and Joe Coscarelli devoted much of their seven-upload week to the Colombian singer. Alongside "Karol G: Teaching Drake Español & Singing in English With Bruno Mars," the shorter installments explore her stadium-show stamina, her approach to incorporating different Latin genres and a tattoo whose pop-star trinity includes Rihanna, Selena and Karol G herself. There is something pleasingly direct about putting yourself alongside your inspirations.
The longer interview gives those global-pop connections a local foundation. Karol G recalls the nerves of representing Colombian and Latino culture at Coachella, then explains how Medellín producers learned reggaeton and developed a melodic sound of their own. It's a conversation that moves between the enormous stage and the musical community behind it.
Popcast added roughly a thousand subscribers over the week, while its daily views are close to their usual level. Its subscriber audience is smaller than neighboring music-media channel Rocked's, but it gathered substantially more views across the week.
Away from the Karol G conversation, Caramanica's ""Summer In Manila (Oakland Pt. 3)" by Karri | Song of the Week" is also gathering attention. The Bay Area R&B artist gives him a different Drake connection to unpack: shifting vocal styles that recall the late-2000s and early-2010s sounds of Drake and The Weeknd.
