In this powerful episode of The UNTITLED Podcast, host Indira Cesarine sits down with visionary alt-R&B artist Iyla to unpack the creative and emotional journey behind her debut album Weeping Angel. Co-written and executive produced with longtime collaborator Kadis, the record marks a defining chapter for Iyla—one that channels the heartbreak of losing her mother into a bold meditation on love, spirituality, and rebirth.

Throughout the conversation, Iyla shares intimate insight into her songwriting process, discussing how she transformed grief into empowerment and discovered new parts of herself through art. She opens up about the dualities that define her music—strength and softness, sensuality and sorrow—and how tracks like “Corset,” “Pledge,” and “Blue Eyes” mirror her own evolution as a woman and artist.

From the cinematic visuals that bring her songs to life, to her long-standing creative bond with Kadis, to what it means to reclaim confidence and identity after loss, Iyla’s reflections are as fearless as her music. The episode captures an artist standing firmly in her truth—one who has turned pain into power and vulnerability into art that resonates deeply.

In this episode of The UNTITLED Podcast, host Indira Cesarine sits down with French actress Antonia Desplat, who stars as feminist writer and poet Beatrice Hastings in Modi: Three Days on the Wing of Madness — Johnny Depp’s first directorial project in two decades, co-starring Hollywood legend Al Pacino. The film, which premiered at the San Sebastián Film Festival, portrays three tempestuous days in the life of painter Amedeo Modigliani and the vibrant, chaotic Parisian art scene of the early 20th century.

Antonia opens up about stepping into the shoes of Beatrice Hastings — a brilliant yet often overlooked feminist voice who was both Modigliani’s muse and intellectual equal — and reflects on the responsibility of reclaiming women whose stories have been erased from history. She shares her experience working under Johnny Depp’s direction, filming on location in Budapest, and the privilege of developing a personal friendship with Al Pacino, whose legendary career continues to inspire her as an actress.

Beyond Modi, the conversation traces Antonia’s creative journey: her Parisian upbringing as the daughter of Oscar-winning composer Alexandre Desplat, her formative training in London, and her diverse screen credits spanning two Wes Anderson films, acclaimed BBC dramas, Apple TV’s Shantaram, and Netflix’s The Sandman. She also discusses her upcoming projects across Europe and the U.S., and her growing work as a producer championing independent cinema.

From breaking into international film to reclaiming forgotten women’s voices, Antonia offers a candid and inspiring look at her craft, her ambitions, and the evolving landscape of storytelling today.

In this episode, host Indira Cesarine is joined by the visionary sister duo CocoRosie— Bianca and Sierra Casady.

For over two decades, CocoRosie has defied convention, blending their poetic, experimental sounds with classical instruments and raw emotions to create their music. Their work is an immersive, multi-sensory experience, pulling from their backgrounds in opera, theater, visual art, and poetry to create their unique universe.

In our candid conversation, we unpack the creative process behind the new album and their collaboration with Chance the Rapper. We explore themes of sisterhood, survival, spiritual awakening, and the concept of turning trash into treasure. We also dive into their unique visual style, performances, and reflections on their 20-year journey that continues to evolve.

We also share insights from our exclusive photo shoot at Xanadu roller-skating rink in Brooklyn, where they celebrated the release of their eighth studio album, Little Death Wishes, with an ecstatic rave and performance, as well as details of their European summer tour.

Whether you’ve followed CocoRosie since the early days or are just discovering their work, this episode offers an intimate look into the minds of two fearless creators who continue to push boundaries and speak their truths.
