276 JJ Lovegrove – A New Album with Minus Cube, a Forthcoming Complimentary Film, Identifying as a Performer, Fighting the Spotify Algorithm, and Deep Connections on Twitter

The Unstarving Musician

JJ Lovegrove refers to herself as the dark dream pop sidekick to Minus Cube. The Nottingham, England-based songwriter has a new collaboration with Minus Cube, which dropped very recently. You can check it out on Bandcamp and other music platforms.

The new album is titled "The Lines We Leave Behind" and is Lovegrove's first full-length album. She previously released a series of singles and the EP "things Only THE daRk knows," much of which was in collaboration with Minus Cube.

In this conversation, JJ (aka Judi) talks about her new album and the forthcoming complimentary film, navigating untruths and loss, the changed landscape of touring, identifying as a performer first, the deep connections she's made on Twitter (X), fighting the Spotify algorithm, and more.

Judi is so much fun to speak to and she has the voice of a dark angel. Find all of JJ Lovegrove's music and more at JJLovegrove.com.
