2026/07/29

It's only Lia in the studio tonight...and is it going to be debauchery, and fingers in mouths, and no "Amy Button" in sight? Ha! No! It's all melancholic reflections and enough confessionals to rival any 90's era album. While K-Dramas started as an escape, Lia shares how they quickly became a mirror, reflecting self (good and uncomfortable).
