Music: Neelix – No way to leave

As we dive into a month of pop culture, I’m starting with the show that defined the “Prestige TV” era. From the rise and fall of Walter White to the gritty, heavy sounds of the underground, I’m looking at why Breaking Bad still looms large. Plus, I’m showcasing a technically impressive metal tribute by supralightning that perfectly captures the intensity of the series.

We finish our April journey of renewal with a deep dive into Taylor Swift’s “Clean.” From the “water-drop” synth sounds to the legendary story of her reclaiming her masters, I look at why this track is the perfect “clean slate” to end the month. Even if you are not a fan, the songwriting on this one might just surprise you.
