On this episode of The Roundtable, we welcome acclaimed composer and lyricist Michael Finke to celebrate the release of his brand-new album, Get What You Want: The Songs of Michael Finke. Out now, the record showcases his signature storytelling through music—songs that capture characters striving for their deepest desires, blending heartfelt emotion with theatrical flair. Michael takes us inside the journey of writing these songs, how the album finally came to life, and what he hopes listeners will take away from it.

Behind this project is a powerhouse creative team: Robbie Rozelle, who co-produced and helped shape the album’s song selection and storytelling arc, and Yasuhiko Fukuoka, who co-produced, musically directed, and ensured the arrangements matched Michael’s vision every step of the way. With orchestrations by Nils-Petter Ankarblom, Get What You Want is a true collaborative achievement that brings Michael’s voice as a writer to center stage.
