Beskrivelse

In the inaugural episode of Written Gems, Nametag and Ketch P unpack Stevie Wonder’s heartfelt classic “These Three Words.” This isn’t just a song — it’s a lesson in vulnerability, in saying what matters before it’s too late. Stevie’s lyrics are simple, but the truth behind them is anything but. Join two songwriters as they explore love, regret, craft, and what makes a lyric timeless. If you’ve ever wished you wrote a song that hits this deep, this one’s for you. Instagram & Threads: @ketchp313 x @nametagalexander x @leadandbelegendary

episode #3 “Mo’ Better Blues” cover

#3 “Mo’ Better Blues”

For Merch  https://nametag.bandcamp.com/merch [https://nametag.bandcamp.com/merch] In this episode of Written Gems, we break down Mo’ Better Blues (1990) — the iconic jazz drama directed by Spike Leeand starring Denzel Washington — and explore how music drives the entire narrative. We analyze the character of Bleek Gilliam, the tension between artistry and ego, the complicated dynamics of love and loyalty, and how the jazz soundtrack shapes every emotional beat of the film. From its cinematography and cultural commentary to its impact on Black cinema and music storytelling, we unpack why Mo’ Better Blues remains a defining film about creative ambition and personal sacrifice. As always on Written Gems, we connect the cultural dots — scene by scene, note by note — and revisit the legacy this film left on jazz, film soundtracks, and the portrayal of Black artists in American cinema.
