Praise for WIDJ

“Given his reluctance to interviews, it’s a rare opportunity for the revered musician to tell his own story in his own words as he addresses the tough questions that have surrounded his 27 year career.” - Rolling Stone

“With unprecedented access to a star who is notoriously averse to media, the Spotify series reveals the traumatic cost of early fame.” - The Guardian
