Vinyls, College. and the 70's with Carol King's Tapestry

There is something special about buying your first album and getting home to hear the needle in between the grooves of the record. The record could be something that you listen to once or twice, or in my mother's case, a record that became the soundtrack and sense memory of that time. Listen and watch as I speak to my mother, Angela Davis, about Carol King's Tapestry. Happy Birthday Mom!!

Healing power, lover girl, and Oldies with Cleo Sol's Rose in the Dark

They say that Therapist and Healers need Therapist and Healers in order to regain the capacity to heal.

Listen as I speak with Ms. London about how Cleo Sol's Rose in the Dark helped heal her during a time in her life when she needed sunshine to grow.

Vulnerability, openness, and a guide with Jorja Smith Lost and Found

There is something special when a Dj shares an album that means something to them.

Listen as Dj Joi Emonie speaks of the impact that Jorja Smith's Lost and Found has on her.

Jewel Cases, Respect for Women, and jokes with Common's Be

It's interesting when an album can open a door of wonder and exploration. With positive and creative writings from Common and production from Bush era Kanye, Listen as Amber (Dj Lovebaby) talks about the impact that Common's Be had on her as a 14 year old teenager . Damn, what a time!
