Sonos Radio has launched the fourth season of Object of Sound. Hosted by poet, essayist and critic Hanif Abdurraqib, this next installment of the successful podcast will continue to bring listeners in tune with the music shaping culture, as each episode blends the eclectic curation of free-form radio with textural storytelling, and interviews featuring Björk, Carly Rae Jepsen, Danielle Ponder and more upcoming guests to be announced.
Beginning with a deep conversation from singer, songwriter, guitarist and multi Grammy-nominee Madison Cunningham out now, the series will further guide its growing audience to newer ways of listening. As Vanity Fair praised of previous Object of Sound seasons, "Abdurraqib doesn't just listen to songs – rather, he seems to absorb and metabolize them. He can intimate what we should be listening to and which conversations we should be having before the rest of us… The resulting interviews feel intentional and expansive."
Spanning 14 episodes, new installments of Object of Sound's fourth season will drop weekly on Fridays, delivering personal interviews, profound questions and unparalleled playlists from now through December 16th.
Listen to all episodes of Object of Sound anytime, from any device, on Sonos Radio in the Sonos app, the Sonos Radio website, and on all major podcast platforms:
"Object Of Sound was something that began as a dream in 2020, something that we learned to do well as we were doing it, as we were building an audience of eager listeners, and as I got to become a more eager listener myself," says Hanif Abdurraqib, who was named a MacArthur Fellow and a finalist for the National Book Award in 2021, and awarded the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction in 2022.
Abdurraqib continues: "Now, as we embark on season four, I feel like we're in the best position we've ever been in terms of audience, in terms of bringing in people who are excited to talk about the nuances of their work. We're in a good groove, and I'm glad to be locked in once again."
After the success of three seasons that have featured Brittany Howard, H.E.R., Jack White, Jazmine Sullivan, Mavis Staples, Moses Sumney, Questlove, Sharon Van Etten, Sufjan Stevens, The National's Aaron Dessner and Matt Berninger, Yaeji and dozens of other artists and cultural figures to date, Abdurraqib's hope is still for Object of Sound to uncover more questions than answers, building a community around new music to fall in love with.
Having explored everything from the evolution of Afrofuturism to what makes a great cover song, The New York Times described the podcast: "This is not your average music-discussion podcast…experiences of music become memoirs, of the host and of his guests. Abdurraqib's encyclopedic love and understanding of music is infectious, and applied with delicate care."
