What’s that one R&B song that can transport you through time and take you back to a key moment or phase of your life? Amazing how music can have that impact. Join me, your host Tiffany Cross, for a nostalgic journey through the rhythms and grooves of R&B music and its enduring impact on our lives. As we reminisce about the classics that shaped our personal narratives, we contrast the generations to the backdrop of soulful tunes from the icon Stevie Wonder to the groundbreaking anthems of Destiny's Child to present day artists like H.E.R. Listen in as I share my intimate stories of growing up with these melodies, reflecting on how the different eras' music has accompanied me through life's milestones.

Journey with us as we discuss the twists and turns of the music industry's evolution, from the inspiration of neo-soul to the enigma of streaming revenues. Our conversation will bring to light the tough choices artists face between signing with record labels or staying independent, navigating venues and award shows, and the precarious trappings of celebrity life. Special guests, Brownstone lead singer Nicci Gilbert-Daniels and up and coming singer SiMaya, join us to share their experiences and insights. They give us an honest and intimate behind-the-scenes look at the music industry's dynamics and how we, as listeners, can support the genuine artists who still craft music with soul and substance.

Did you know there’s a list of dangerous people to work with that’s circulating among some artists in the industry? We discuss as it's not all harmonies and high notes.  Tune in as we delve into the darker chords that resonate within the industry addressing serious issues like predatory behavior examining the recent convictions and accusations that have rocked the music world. With personal anecdotes and reflections, we explore how an enabling culture has allowed such behavior to persist and the steps we're taking to change the narrative for future generations. So whether you're a die-hard R&B fan or simply interested in the interplay of music and society, this episode is a heartfelt symphony of dialogue that's not to be missed.
