Well! Hello June.

Today's topic and subject matter is a tough one. I'm talking with my friend David Gate. David is a writer and poet. He has a new book releasing in 2025 called A Rebellion of Care. But David also has a long history as a worship leader, songwriter, and artist. David wrote an article recently in […] The post #358: Two White Guys Talking About The Black Church, Black Music, & Black Liberation (An Interview with David Gate) appeared first on Beyond Sunday Worship.

InstagramYoutubetiktokBioMelody Reyne is an artist who makes music in multiple genres but one thing remains constantthroughout them all: She has fun doing it. By making music that brings her a feeling ofhappiness, it never feels like a task to her. Whether she's in Atlanta or Los Angeles, the musicshe creates is going to be done her way and fit her standards. Much of her music is centeredaround the topic of love and she approaches it from a standpoint of lightheartedness andfreedom but - the intentionality is still constant. Her lyrics flow from her mind to the mic in astream-of-consciousness approach that makes every song honest and authentic.“Some songs are just easy to write and it doesn't take long. I'm just always focused ondelivering whatever feeling that I feel like goes with the music or the lyrics that are in the song.”she said.Whether she's crooning about love in an R&B track, bringing people to the dance floor ordropping bars, Melody's music is a surprise practically every time. Her latest single, “Exposed”feels right at home in the R&B lane but there's something special about it that Melody wants herlisteners to experience.“It has a nostalgic 90s classic vibe to me. It's a new song but it feels like it's been here before. Iwant people to feel that nostalgic warmth when they hear it and get all in their feels.” she said.“Exposed” is the latest single from her upcoming project Damsel That Collects whose name flipsthe outdated expression “damsel in distress.” The title expresses the power of Melody's place inthe world as a woman doing things her way and not apologizing to anyone for it. This theme isthe connecting through line across the whole project with each song being an expression of thisperspective which Melody lives by.“I'm still a damsel but I'm not in distress. I'm collecting my resources, I'm collecting a bag andI'm using my femininity to do it. I don't feel like I have to fit into any of the roles like a wife ormother that society tries to label women with. I'm in a good space right now and I feel like thereare multiple other women in this space too. They're damsels but they're not in distress. They'reliving their dreams and living their lives their way.” she said.Melody keeps her fun, freedom based approach to music present in all aspects. “Exposed” wasactually created while she was in the studio working on other music and with the idea comingfrom her producer Ozzy, the song just came together naturally in a spur of the moment way. ForMelody, this type of collaboration is a regular occurrence and combining ideas is one of herfavorite aspects of creating music. This mindset is sure to propel her further and further in themusic industry and she brings in more people to bring her vision to life whether it be in thestudio, shooting music videos or any creative endeavour she pursues.“I look at it like a cocktail. I represent one ingredient and they represent others. They can bringsomething new out of me by sharing their ideas. I'm able to expand myself by working with otherpeople and getting other people's points of view to create something fresh. By combining mytalents, dreams and ideas with others, those people can also live their dreams and bring theirtalents together with mine. Collaboration allows me to be the catalyst for all of that.” she said.As an artist with multiple plans and paths, Melody also stars in season two of OWN's realityseries, The Never Ever Mets which premiered April 4th, 2025. Melody is happy to have her song“Exposed” out at the same time as the show. With the song's title and her life being exposed oncamera, this point in time is truly a full circle moment. The intentionality continues to be theconnecting thread in all that she pursues.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

The drumbeat of Washington, D.C. and the surrounding area is not politics. It's go-go music.The genre developed by Chuck Brown in 1976 features syncopated rhythms, a large ensemble of musicians and a rich drum beat to create a live experience that has fans dancing 'till they can't dance no more. Go-go has been nurtured by D.C. natives for decades, from the time the District was considered a majority Black “Chocolate City,” and the music has significantly influenced the broader region into Maryland and Virginia, known as the DMV. Its influence can be seen from fashion to food to lingo, especially among Black residents of the region.Go-go became the official music of Washington, D.C. in 2020, and in early 2025 the Go-Go Museum and Café will open in the southeast neighborhood of Anacostia — the cultural heart of Chocolate City. However, it wasn't an easy road for go-go to become widely celebrated in the District. Its evolution mirrors the trials and transformations of a rapidly changing D.C. and the feeling of many Black people who have found it harder and harder to call Washington home.In this episode, host Kai Wright hands the mic to producer Siona Peterous, who grew up in the DMV and has spent much of her adult life immersed in D.C.'s vibrant arts and culture scene. With a deep love for go-go, Peterous sits down to learn more about it from the co-founders of the Go-Go Museum and Café, Ronald Moten and Dr. Natalie Hopkinson. She also talks with Chris Proctor, lead talker of the Take Over Band (T.O.B.), which will celebrate 20 years in the go-go scene this Christmas Day.This episode serves as a primer to the complex and rich history of go-go, taking listeners on a journey to explore how the genre was born, how it became a cultural touchstone during some of D.C.'s darker times, and breaking down the elements that make go-go so unique. Whether you're new to the sound or already a fan, this episode will help you better understand what makes go-go such a powerful, enduring force in the city's identity.After you listen to the show, check out our playlist of go-go essentials here.

Has "Black" Music Seen It's Best Days?? ft Dr. Doug

Has "Black" Music Seen Its Best Days ft Dr Doug

In this episode of 'Play Saves the World', Daniel Hilty interviews Julian Davis Reed, an artist theologian who explores the intersection of black music and spirituality through his project 'Notes of Rest'. Julian discusses the importance of rest in the context of faith, the role of black music in understanding scripture, and the challenges of integrating his artistic and theological pursuits. The conversation delves into the cultural significance of rest, the pushback against the Protestant work ethic, and the transformative power of music in spiritual formation. In this conversation, Julian Davis and Daniel explore the complexities of being a musician, particularly the exhausting lifestyle that comes with touring and performing. They discuss the importance of rest, the tension between work and play, and how silence and stillness play a crucial role in music and spirituality. Julian shares personal practices that help him maintain balance and creativity, while also reflecting on the nature of labor in the music industry and the need to preserve the joy of making music. The conversation culminates in a discussion about art, faith, and the gratuity of God, emphasizing the importance of recognizing the gift of creativity beyond commercial value. Takeaways Julian Davis Reed emphasizes the importance of rest in spiritual practice. Black music serves as a lens to understand scripture and faith. The concept of 'two-ness' in black identity influences musical expression. Music emerges from both pain and hope, reflecting the black experience. The integration of music, theology, and community is essential for spiritual growth. Rest is a form of resistance against societal pressures to be productive. Julian's project 'Notes of Rest' invites people to explore biblical practices of rest. The pandemic highlighted the need for rest and reflection in our lives. Sound and silence coexist in the experience of faith and spirituality. The conversation challenges the Protestant work ethic and promotes a holistic view of rest. The life of a touring musician is often exhausting. Rest is essential for musicians, yet often overlooked. There is a tension between the demands of work and the need for rest. Silence and stillness are integral to the experience of music. Musicians often feel pressured to take every gig due to financial constraints. The concept of labor in music is complex and often undervalued. Preserving the joy of music is crucial for artists. Art serves as a reminder of the gratuity of God's gifts. The commercialization of music can overshadow its spiritual significance. Consciousness and grace are vital in navigating the music industry.

Soul is one of those concepts that is often evoked, but rarely satisfactorily defined. In The Meaning of Soul: Black Music and Resilience Since the 1960s (Duke University Press 2020), Emily J. Lordi takes on the challenge of explaining “soul,” through a book that zooms in and out between sweeping ideas about suffering and resilience in Black culture and fine-grained, close readings of individual performances by soul musicians. Rather than centering big musical gestures and major popular hits, Lordi pays close attention to musical practices like falsetto, ad-libs, and false endings to ground her analysis. She focuses on artists that are some of the most recognizable Black singers in the United States such as Aretha Franklin, Nina Simone, and James Brown, but she also spends a lot of time with more obscure figures including Donny Hathaway and Minnie Riperton. She ends the book with a powerful contemplation of how the logic of soul, born in the political and social tumult of the late 1960s, still resonates with some of today's most popular women singers. Emily J. Lordi is an Associate Professor of English at Vanderbilt University. The Meaning of Soul is her third book. In addition to her scholarly work, she is an active cultural critic and music journalist published in venues such as Billboard, The Atlantic, and NPR. Kristen M. Turner is a lecturer in the music and honors departments at North Carolina State University. Her research centers on race and class in American popular entertainment at the turn of the twentieth century. Learn more about your ad choices.

Arriving in Philadelphia after deejaying in her native New York and Washington D.C., where she was known for a time as “Ebony Moonbeams,” Dyana Williams established the popular radio show “Love on the Menu” for radio station WDAS and later Soulful Sundays for Classix 107.9. The latter show lasting for 12 years before signing off for the last time in 2020. Even with her luminous on-air career, Dyana's contributions behind the scenes have been even more impactful. Formerly married to music producer Kenny Gamble (Gamble & Huff), Williams has long been associated with the “Sound of Philadelphia” (Patti LaBelle, McFadden & Whitehead, Teddy Pendergrass, etc.) and has produced documentaries, founded and led organizations and mentored countless emerging artists, a passion that she continues to pursue. But perhaps her most lasting gift to us is her role in the founding of Black Music Month. Its initial recognition in 1979 was the beginning of a process that Dyana would shepherd until it was written into law by congress and proclaimed first by President Clinton in 2000 and again by Presidents Obama and Biden. Read more about Dyana in Issue No. 7 of AphroChic magazine.

There are many artists who could stake a claim for the title of Queen of Black Music, but it'd be hard to argue against a legend like Angelique Kidjo. Ebro spoke to her back in 2021 for Black Music Month about finding her identity through Black music and the importance of learning the stories of Black people all around the world. Listen to Angelique Kidjo's Message playlist, exclusively on Apple Music.

As we celebrate JUNETEENTH, we must understand how Folklore and the Blues Narrative relate to this celebration. In this episode, I will discuss the celebration, what the celebration is actually about, and its connection to and significance of African American Folklore and traditional Black Music. Juneteenth should always be mentioned with “African American Traditional Music and Folklore!” Juneteenth is the celebration of the releasing of the last remaining slaves after the emancipation proclamation and civil war. In 1865, June 19 Union soldiers led by Major General Gordon Granger shared the news that the war is over and the slaves were now free, in Galveston, Texas. Ironically, this freedom came after the actual date of 1863, when Lincoln made his declaration. Though, the first documented celebration of emancipation dates back to March 2, 1807, when Congress passed a bill to halt the importation of “slaves” into the United States, effective January 1, 1808, which prompted Absalom Jones, a pastor at St. Thomas's African Episcopal Church in Philadelphia to call for a special commemoration of the ban. “Let January 1, the day of the abolition of the slave trade in our country, be set apart every year, as a day of public thanksgiving for that mercy,” he declared. The 1808 ban fueled annual public observances, primarily religious gatherings in northern cities such as New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, called Emancipation Day. Though the initial celebration of January 1, 1808, was the first recording of Emancipation Day, June 19 then took on the name Emancipation Day, as well as Jubilee Day, now known as Juneteenth. In 1866, during the first celebration of “Jubilee Day” aka Juneteenth, newly freed African Americans sang Black Spirituals such as “Go Down Moses,” and “Many Thousands Gone.” In resemblance to Independence Day, they released a barrage of fireworks. The fact is, Texas was the last to free the slaves... Read More Here: Get Merch here: --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jackdappabluesradio/message
