Great second albums with host Stephen Kallao
In music, they say you get your entire life to write your first album, and only six months to write your second. While some artists fall into the dreaded “sophomore slump,” others reach new heights the second time around, creating career-defining music – Bands like Nirvana and A Tribe Called Quest, and singers like Prince and Adele, all coming alive on their sophomore records.
