I saw that Tobias Jesso Jr won two Grammys last night, and was confused because I *loved* his 2015 debut album and saw him on that tour, but hadn’t heard anything about a followup album. Turns out he hated touring/press so much, he had a bit of a breakdown and cancelled his tours. He was rescued by Adele, who was a huge fan of his songs, and they wrote “When We Were Young” together, kickstarting his songwriting career for others. https://www.gq.com/story/tobias-jesso-jr-adele-harry-styles-2023-grammys-songwriter-of-the-year

@andybaio Goon is so good. I’m still hopeful of another record from him one day.
