I. Episode 3: Stress

Welcome back to AMPLIFY: The Lockdown Sessions, our series of lockdown podcasts created byThe RISE Collective, a youth organisation that uses creative arts and media to amplify the voices of young people.

In each episode we aim to explore a different theme via the work of an array of emerging and established artists, curated for your listening pleasure.

This week's theme is stress. We’ve all been feeling it. Join us as we attempt to unpick the mind fuzz that has been the last few months 🌞

Starting off with an ode to the power of the mind, we’ve got eclectic London musicians Amapola playing their latest single 'All In The Mind' featuring grime MC Peigh. Following that, we’ve got a powerful piece of spoken word written and performed by our all-time fave FLO Vortex poet Vala, as well as the most relaxing interview ever made with stress specialist Rosie Watson.

To top it all off, South-East London legends Talk Show teach us the very meaning of catharsis with their aptly titled single ‘Stress’.

A massive thank you to all our contributors 💜
