World Cafe Playlist for 09/25/2026
Julia Jacklin joins host Stephen Kallao
Recorded in a Melbourne neighborhood bar, Julia Jacklin’s new album, The Gem, captures her letting go of expectations and making music on her own terms. Coming up, the Aussie singer-songwriter talks about why this record took a lot longer to make than she expected, and why she needed to be the boss of her own recordings. Julia Jacklin also performs live in studio, on the next World Cafe.
Listen to the session here.
