Some ‘90s rock bands reunite for the paycheck of a festival appearance or an alternative rock package tour. The original members of Sixpence None the Richer got back together simply to make music again.
As singer Leigh Nash and guitarist Matt Slocum tells Billboard’s Behind the Setlist podcast, the band members’ lives happened to intersect again for the first time since 2002. The result, the group’s new Rosemary Hill EP, was released on Oct. 4 through Flatiron Recordings, and the band is currently on a U.S. tour that concludes in Los Angeles on Dec. 15.
“Leigh and I had started working on new music during the pandemic,” says Slocum. “Dale [Baker], who’s our drummer, started reaching out. He was coming into Nashville periodically, because he still works as a session musician here in town and in his hometown of Durham, North Carolina, and he tours a fair amount.”

Before long, Nash, Slouch and Baker were talking about making music together over dinner. That conversation led Nash to reach out to bass player Justin Cary. “That ended up being very serendipitous,” says Slocum, “because he and his wife own a bakery in Albany, New York, and they had made the decision to close the bakery.” Nash called to ask Cary if he wanted to make music again, and “he was more than ready to jump in.”
Truth be told, Sixpence None the Richer never really went away. The band’s 1998 breakthrough hit “Kiss Me,” which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 the following year, was streamed 70 million times and played on radio nearly 48,000 times in the U.S. last year, according to Luminate. The song has consistently been featured in television shows, too —i ncluding a 2016 episode of The Simpsons —and most recently can be heard in BLACKPINK member Lisa’s new song “Moonlit Floor,” which uses an interpolation of “Kiss Me” and takes its title from the song’s lyrics (“Kiss me, beneath the milky twilight / Lead me out on the moonlit floor”).
Nash is hopeful “Moonlit Floor” helps the band reach new fans and introduces Rosemary Hill to a younger generation. “I have seen a pretty big uptick in people and followers on our social media platforms and and no doubt those are really young people. So, I’m excited to perhaps affect a brand new generation with the new music that we’re putting out. That would be an insane blessing.”
“It’s been really cool to see how it’s connected with people all over the world and has done this generational jump,” adds Slocum. That “Moonlit Floor” songwriters Ryan Williamson and Jessie Reyez chose to utilize “Kiss Me” “shows that it’s just timeless,” he says.

Kylie Minogue is embarking on one of her largest world tours, accompanying her new album, ‘Tension II.’ She discusses her creative process for ‘Tension II,’ her collaborations with Bebe Rexha and Tove Lo, the impact of “Padam Padam,” and Kamala Harris’ use of the song, and more!
Kylie Minogue:
Hi!
Joe Lynch:
Kylie, thank you so much for being here. How are you today?
Billboard, thank you for having me!
So, we’re going to start with “Padam Padam” because obviously “Padam”-demonioum, you know, took the country, took TikTok by storm. The hook, the delivery is a little something different than what you would expect for a pop song. Did that give you any freedom to approach these ‘Tension II’ songs differently?
Yeah, it opened a lot of doors and it was “the one” for me at this point in time. You know, it was the wave that I was able to catch. I’m still riding it, you know. Not on that song solely, but everything that’s around that. I say that I’m kind of in my villain era, Killing Eve. Unless you’ve heard ‘Tension II-’
I have.
I guess I kind of took it in my stride recording it, but now that I’m looking at it as a body of work, I’m thinking “what are other people going to hear.” And I think that would be the kind of string throughout it.In a not creepy way.
Right! I definitely heard some “Padam” vibes in the collab you have with Bebe and Tove Lo. That was so fun. You say your name, astrological sign.
What’s your star sign?
I’m Aquarius, so yeah, hi.
We’re made to be friends.
Keep watching for more!
