Ep. 167: Jimmy Napes

What do you do when you're at your first-ever Grammys, sitting next to Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, but too high to speak? In this eye-opening chat with Straight Up, the Grammy and Oscar-winning collaborator to Sam Smith, Taylor Swift, Stormzy and Dave reveals some of the most unforgettable moments of his career, from his hilarious Grammys blunder to penning the Oscar-winning Bond song Writing's on the Wall for 2015's Spectre. Also in this episode, over some delicious Old Fashioned cocktails, Jimmy talks about how he first met Sam, and what it was like to co-write their first big hit, Latch, going from singing at empty North London pub nights to becoming world-famous. Plus, Jimmy reveals some of him and Sam's strangest songwriting sessions, why hangovers are brilliant for creativity, and what it was like to work with Dave on Lesley and Stormzy on Crown.  Jimmy, Kathleen and Eleanor also get deep into one of the biggest talking points in the music industry right now: the way that Spotify treats musicians, and what needs to change. This episode of Straight Up has two wonderful sponsors. First up, Bar Swift, the London bar with locations in Soho and Shoreditch, which is now offering a brilliant cocktail delivery service, Speakeasy at Home, via which you can order their world-famous Old Fashioned's – including the ones made with Woodford Reserve which we drank with Jimmy – as well as many other delicious cocktails.  Head to barswift.com Our second sponsor is Popsockets, the one-stop-shop for all things digital accessories, from their famous PopGrips to their beautiful phone cases and wallets.

Jimmy Napes on the story behind his Oscar-winning Bond song with Sam Smith, and Spotify's big problem

This week, Reg, Owen, Baba and Uzo are joined by Jimmy Napes. The music producer shares some of the stories behind the records that changed his career, his history with Owen and what happens when a humble guy finds himself at the Oscars and the Grammys. As ever, Uzo makes us watch his phone and Jimmy explains why you should never smoke with Skrillex. The Michael Jackson documentary was unavoidable and the entire room shares their feelings on what might happen next, as well as what to do when your heroes fall. The boys open up on how things are changing a month into the fitness challenge both internally and at home. It's also a family affair, as Melvin Odoom came along just to hang out and chips in the way only Uncle Mello can. Pull up a chair, we're here all week.        Follow the team online:   Jimmy - @JimmyNapes   Reg - @Regyates   Owen - @OwenCutts   Baba - @Iamcronus   Uzo - @Uzooleh   Selekio - @officialofei   Israel - @Israelpeters   Anna - @annaisabeljamieson   Ankit - @bhattman
