The revisit effect, some good advice, and brilliance of Frank Ocean’s Blonde

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!!

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!
