episode 92: American Idol winner Phillip Phillips
It's kinda crazy that Phillip Phillips is just 32. He was 21 when he won American Idol back in 2012 and released his coronation single, "Home," which played during the Olympics that year. Phillips didn't write that song but has written or co-written most of his songs since, including all the tracks on his latest album, Drift Back, set for release on June 9.
It's his first album since becoming a dad in 2019. Phillip tells us his son is both strong-willed and amazing, and he's up for the challenge. In this episode, he talks about how fatherhood and married life gave him a new perspective that informed the songs on the album and takes us back to his Idol days when he did a very memorable acoustic cover of "Thriller."
