Singer, song-writer Keegan Thompson believes that if the world ended tomorrow—or if aliens came looking for the very best humanity had to offer—music would be what we'd hand them.

In this heartfelt conversation, EP Wolfe, Chloe Sommer, and Keegan Thompson revisit the friendships, bands, and songs that shaped their lives long before 4/4 Sync & Publishing existed. Along the way, they explore the band Channel, why songwriting matters, the stories behind Free Man, Crossing Where It's Deep and The Inside, why music may be humanity's greatest creation, and still more.

This isn't just an episode about making records. It's about why we make music in the first place. #Channel #BoutiqueAF

What does it take to create a masterpiece?

This week on Sync In 4/4, Rich Masotti, EP Wolfe, and Chloe Sommer welcome Jon "Soda" James of Coventry Carols for a powerful conversation about the band's deeply personal new album, Open Up, Fall Apart.

What begins as a discussion about a new release quickly becomes something much deeper: an honest exploration of vulnerability, artistic ambition, perseverance, and the courage required to create meaningful art.

Soda opens up about the emotional risks of songwriting, the importance of experiencing albums from beginning to end, and why he approached this record with a singular mission—to create a masterpiece. Along the way, he reflects on overcoming extraordinary personal challenges, creative collaboration, and what it really means to finish the work when life keeps getting in the way.

The conversation also explores the band's collaboration with Joey Z of Life of Agony, artistic authenticity, and what happens when musicians stop performing and start telling the truth.

• The making of Open Up, Fall Apart
• The mission to create a masterpiece
• Listening to albums as complete experiences
• Vulnerability in songwriting
• Artistic authenticity and emotional honesty
• Creative perseverance
• Working with Joey Z of Life of Agony
• Why meaningful music still matters

No lip-syncing. No lip service.

Only real conversations about music, publishing, creativity, and the people behind the songs.

Everything finds its place In 4/4.

Sometimes finishing the work is the masterpiece.
