In Love: Do relationships always make good material for pop stars?

Famously...
Contains strong language.

Available for over a year

They say write about what you know – and for singers and rappers, their relationships often provide the best material. Whether it’s the feeling of falling in love, a messy break up, a tormented heartbreak or something in between. But how do you do this kind of thing well? And when does it feel like a bit of a gimmick? To help them, Jack and Sarel look at the relationships and songs of Taylor Swift, Adele and Stormzy.
