This week, we're dropping another B-Side, a little quickie companion piece to episode 74, Gogo Jason Waterfalls. Due to time constraints, there were some songs that needed to be cut from the original, but this segment was too good to leave on the hard drive, so here it is! These are the songs that we're discussing in this episode:

Tweet - Oops, Oh My

Maxwell - This Woman’s Work

Maxwell -Closer

Crystal Waters - Gypsy Woman

Stevie Wonder - Go Home

This week, we're doing another anniversary episode, and this time we're celebrating the anniversary of Kelis' debut album, Kaleidoscope. With her colorful hair and punk attitude, she literally burst onto the scene screaming "I hate you so much right now!" backed by the sounds of Chad Hugo & Pharrell Williams, aka The Neptunes.

We get into how this album is a mix of several genres rather than just straight R&B. With its collage of electronic, funk, hip hop and rock influences, Kelis and The Neptunes gave us an album with a sound that we hadn't really heard before, and it kicked off a production style that continues to this day.

On this episode, we're discussing one of our favorite albums, My Life by Mary J. Blige. If you're anything like us, you've been bumping this consistently for the past 30 years. Yes, 30 years! Originally released on November 29, 1994, this album is a reflection of Mary's struggles with heartbreak and depression.

Her vulnerable lyrics paired with lush production from Chucky Thompson created a groundbreaking piece of work that redefined R&B, and still resonates today. This is the album that solidified her title as the "Queen of Hip Hop Soul."

If this little jaunt down memory lane wasn't enough for you, check out another episode of ours, "No Hateration, Holleration, In This Dancery," (Episode 9) where we get into Mary's entire career. From her early days at Uptown Records to her Academy Award nominations, we dig into it all.
