In this episode of The Hardest Part, host Kieron Banerji is joined in the studio by Amahla to explore the creation of her song "Apathy." The conversation delves into the deeply personal journey behind the track, touching on themes of emotional overwhelm, detachment, and the vices people turn to when life becomes too difficult. Influenced by folk and gospel music, Amahla shares her process of finding her voice and the guilt that comes with tuning out from the world's problems. She also reflects on the song’s lyrics, the creative blocks she faced during its composition, and the profound impact of artists like Nick Drake and Lauryn Hill on her music. The episode concludes with a stripped-back performance of "Apathy."
