About this episode
With a ditty-bopping, hand-clapping dance beat and playful lyrics, Australian artist James Atlas makes fun of and celebrates a kind of mall and shopping culture in his latest synth-pop release “Retail Therapy.”
“It’s about my own shopping addiction, and it’s about me kind of laughing at that while also reveling in it,” he said.
In fact, the inspiration came from one of the world’s most famous malls.
“When I listened to the arrangement for that one, I was walking around Dubai. I’d just been to the Dubai Mall, and the track took my mind straight to what I had just been doing at the mall. They were so closely related in style that I thought it would be funny to do a song about shopping addiction.”
