“I don't necessarily want it to be the most giant album of all
time and be selling out stadiums. I want something that lasts and
that feels timeless and thoughtful.”

Mark Savage speaks to Mercury Prize-winning singer-songwriter
Arlo Parks about her life and music career.

Born in London, the half Nigerian, quarter Chadian and quarter
French artist, real name Anaïs Marinho, has enjoyed great success
in her music career since her debut album was released in 2021.

Having broken onto the music scene two years prior, Parks has
performed twice at the Glastonbury music festival in England,
supported the likes of Harry Styles and Billie Eilish on tour,
and even written for Beyoncé.

It’s been something of a whirlwind journey for the 25-year-old,
who has returned with a new album after taking some time out of
the spotlight in order to reclaim some normality in her life. The
Interview brings you conversations with people shaping our world,
from all over the world. The best interviews from the BBC,
including episodes with director Guillermo del Toro, author Azar
Nafisi and actor Arden Cho. You can listen on the BBC World
Service on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 0800 GMT. Or you
can listen to The Interview as a podcast, out three times a week
on BBC Sounds or wherever you get your podcasts.
