A special end-of-summer Redux edition of Roqe featuring one of our favourite conversations with one of the defining voices of modern Persian pop music. Jian revisits his 2023 interview with Kamyar - the Iranian-French singer, songwriter and musician whose journey has taken him from Tehran to Paris, the Sorbonne, Los Angeles, the legendary Black Cats, and ultimately a successful solo career. Kamyar talks about growing up Iranian in France after the 1979 Revolution, studying classical piano, discovering his voice, and his deep musical connection to artists like Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye. He reflects on moving to Los Angeles in 2003, joining Black Cats, the success of "Jooneh Khodet," leaving the band to forge his own path, and emerging as a solo artist with Dobareh. The conversation also explores identity, exile and Iran - including Kamyar's outspoken support for the Iranian people, his involvement in protests, and his decision to use his music and platform to take a stand. Featured Guest: Kamyar - Iranian-French singer, songwriter and musician This interview was originally recorded in July 2023. Roqe returns with its new season on Thursday, September 10th.

It's Free Speech Friday, and Joe Pags is going EVERYWHERE. He starts with Boston and Massachusetts politicians he says have completely lost the plot, including lawmakers proudly defending transgender athletes competing in women's sports. Then it's time for some incredible music history: Michael Jackson wanted Prince on "Bad," so why did Prince turn down what could've been one of the biggest duets EVER? Pags reveals the hilarious reason before flashing back to the glory days of MTV, talking Stevie Wonder, and revisiting Shaq's wild story that left him wondering whether Stevie can actually see. The phones light up before Pags turns to Vice President JD Vance campaigning in Ohio, playing his favorite moments and explaining why he loves seeing the VP get out and speak directly to Americans. Plus, the first deportation flight lands in Haiti following the TPS suspension—and somehow the crew ends up debating one of America's greatest mysteries: Why do we write dates backwards compared with England?

John 8:12 “I am the light of the world” Stevie Wonder sang about it: You are the sunshine of my lifeThat's why I'll always be around You are the apple of my eyeForever you'll stay in my heart We all have a light that we are chasing - that thing which promises us warmth and illumination, that will fill our soul, that will make the world make sense for us. For Stevie Wonder, it was romance. If only the love was good enough, then light would come in the soul. But no lover, no matter how loving, is bright enough to enlighten the soul of another. In order for that to happen in a relationship, the lover would not only need to be perfectly loving, but would also need to be a transcendent light. What is it about the sun that made the Beatles write their joyous anthem “Here Comes the Sun”? Why does sunshine in John Denver's eyes make him cry? It's not because it feels good, but because it preaches to our soul that while this light and warmth hits our body, there is another light source that is meant to illuminate and warm our soul. Mr. Denver's tears are not because the sun feels good, but because of the existential longing for spiritual enlightenment that the physical sun awakens. Jesus, considering the glory of the sun, stands up in the temple and declares that he is the light for the whole world. Not to warm and brighten the physical, but to enlighten the spirit.Koinonia FellowshipSundays at 8:30a and 10:30a500 Main St. East Rochester, NY 14445koinoniafellowship.com
On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with Ruthie Foster to talk about her new album, Just Say Yes, and the musical journey that gave her such a powerful connection to songs, audiences, and the spirit inside a performance.Ruthie takes me into the making of the record with co-writer and producer Tyler Bryant. We talk about the importance of a great rhythm section, how different drummers can reshape a singer's phrasing, and why Ruthie prefers to step aside and let musicians bring their own interpretations to her songs. She also introduces us to her self-created background vocal group, affectionately known as the “Cheap Inspirations.”We trace Ruthie's story from learning piano and guitar in small-town Texas to studying music in Waco and working as a session singer during her time with Atlantic Records in New York. She reflects on the education she received in studios, songwriter circles, church services, and nearly empty clubs—and how each setting taught her something different about craft, versatility, and connecting with a room.At the center of our conversation is the idea behind Just Say Yes. What began as a reminder to accept professional opportunities has grown into something more personal: saying yes to herself, her family, and what truly matters. We also discuss parenthood, the emotional life of a song, and why Ruthie is still waiting for these new songs to reveal everything they have to teach her.Key TakeawaysRuthie gives the musicians on her albums room to interpret each song and contribute their own musical personalities.Her background as a New York session singer taught her versatility, efficiency, and how to change the timbre of her voice for different projects.Studying music in Waco exposed her to arranging, publishing, copyright, big-band instrumentation, and the business behind a musical career.Growing up in the church taught Ruthie that music begins with feeling and with the ability to change the atmosphere in a room.Songs continue to evolve for her over time, sometimes revealing their full emotional meaning only after years of performance.Just Say Yes looks forward, while her previous album, Mileage, invited her to look back over her life.The album's title has grown from a professional reminder into a commitment to say yes to herself, her family, and the things that matter most.Music from the EpisodeDoubling Back - Ruthie FosterThank You - Ruthie FosterYes - Ruthie FosterHold On - Ruthie FosterAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast about music, creativity, and the people who devote their lives to making sound.

Joining hosts Philionaire, Claude Kelly and Chuck Harmony of Louis York, and Tamone Bacon, Eric arrives at a defining crossroads: his upcoming self-titled album with lead single "Cry In Front Of You" marks his first move under a new partnership between his Evolve Music imprint and the iconic Tamla Motown, ending a fully independent run of more than forty released projects. And before the episode is over, a legend pulls up unannounced to make it official. The songwriter stories arrive fast and land clean. Eric relives the moment he heard Verse Simmons cooking up the beat next door at a writing camp and knew instantly that "You know me and my baby" was going to become Usher and Chris Brown's "New Flame," a record that is now the lead song on Usher's upcoming R&B tour. He shouts out silent-sniper Ne-Yo writing full verses on his phone in five minutes, unpacks the Usher gem that a melody has to be able to fill a stadium, and shares the Jermaine Dupri note that finally pushed him out of his rap-cadence comfort zone. He also calls his shot on the R&B resurgence, naming Coco Jones, Leon Thomas, Victoria Monet, and Muni Long as proof that the technical, intricate stuff is winning again. Then Eric goes where he has never gone on record. Guided by fan-submitted questions from the Crazy Crew, he opens up about the death of his mother, the grief that pushed him to co-write the album cold-sober from scratch with Troy Taylor, Harmony Samuels, Oak, Chris Riddick, Tony, and KP, and why "I Need Help" felt like the only honest way to open the record. He explains how his wife Lamaya, his kids, and the "Bell Ringers" who kept showing up with blankets at meet-and-greets carried him through, and offers real advice to a viewer grieving her own father about why you should never force creativity through loss. He also reflects on marriage in the industry, the "Never Be Lonely" duet with Amber Riley, sneaking onto Usher's Tiny Desk, and why family in the frame at Def Comedy Jam's 25th anniversary meant everything. The episode's biggest surprise walks through the door mid-conversation: legendary producer, songwriter, and Darkchild architect Rodney Jerkins pulls up to make the Evolve Music, Tamla Motown, Eric Bellinger partnership official on camera. Rodney, who has known Eric since he was thirteen, breaks down why this is a Quincy-and-Michael-style one-two punch, why he told Eric "you're gonna need a machine," and why the game right now is missing taste, patience, and the willingness to spend three years on an album. Eric closes the room by thanking Rodney directly, on mic, for his trust and brotherhood. Eric also sits in for our signature segment, Take It to the Bridge, and helps the crew split this week's Esther Rolle Award of Black Excellence (The ERBE) between the legendary Greg Phillinganes (this week's ERBE winner) and Stevie Wonder (crowned with the GOAT honors).

By 1975, after 3 or 4 albums of success that shot him into the stratosphere, Stevie Wonder was ready to call it quits. Living under Nixon's America, he was understandably upset with the way the United States was conducting itself and was seriously considering moving to Ghana and dedicating himself to aiding children with disabilities. He even planned a farewell concert to solidify the plan, but Berry Gordy swooped in and convinced him to stay... But I'm sure being offered one of the greatest record deals of all time helped too. Anyway, after all that and having his daughter in 1975, he was ready to create his masterpiece about the wonder of life: Songs in the Key of Life. Enjoy.Episode Links:Songs in the Key of Life documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CClqS7EJogQCONCEPT ALBUM RANKINGS: https://www.supatier.com/tierlist/019a64d9-9691-7ed1-87e9-1fc99161d9c0/tachp-ranked-tierlistOUR DISCORD: https://discord.gg/2stA2P7pTCOUR MERCH: https://flyoverstatepark.creator-spring.com/OUR YOUTUBE:
TVC 745.4: Ed welcomes Martha Reeves, the legendary Motown powerhouse who is also one of the most influential voices in American music. Searching, Martha's first new album in twenty-two years, is a blend of jazz, gospel, blues, R & B, and lived experience that was recorded in New Orleans, alongside acclaimed trombonist Delfeayo Marsalis, and co-produced by Marsalis and Martha's longtime manager, Chris Roe. Chris also appears with Martha during our call. Searching becomes available wherever you find music beginning Friday, Aug. 14. Topics this segment include how the making of Searching was very much a collaborative experience; how Martha's mother taught her never to sing a song unless she understood it and could feel it; meeting Stevie Wonder for the first time when he was eight years old, in Berry Gordy's office at Motown; why the release of Searching is an answered prayer; and why purple is Martha's go-to color.

Adam and Peter each present their top tracks from Songs in the Key of Life, compare and contrast, and see who comes out on top with the best lineup.Along the way, they reveal why Stevie Wonder is the master of harmony, how he (and only he) can get away with flourishes that would sound "corny" anywhere else, and the production details you'll never unhear.----------------Learn to play "Isn't She Lovely", even if you've never played a note. Led by You'll Hear It co-host Adam Maness, this special lesson is simple enough to follow, even for absolute beginners. You've spent an hour listening to Adam and Peter take the album apart.

I got fired from the White House, my marriage was falling apart, and the guy who talked me off the ledge was my publicist, Howard Bragman, a man so full of life he'd call you 'numbnuts' one minute and heal your family the next. On this episode of Open Book, musician Mike Maimone tells me what it was like to love Howard, lose him, and turn that grief into the most honest book I've read all year. Mike Maimone is a singer-songwriter, pianist, and producer. He has written and published more than two hundred songs, many heard on TV, in movies, and on the radio. He has played festivals such as Lollapalooza, headlined legendary venues like the Metro and the Troubador, performed on keys with Stevie Wonder, and toured in support of OK Go, Plain White T's, Blues Traveler, and more.

Episode 072: We are pulling back the curtain on the grand illusions of life this week, delivering a heavy dose of reality to all those polished, idealized dreams we hold onto. We begin with the shimmering, melancholic haze of Beach House, before facing the sobering resignation of Jim Lindberg. We then pivot to the gritty frustration of Middle Class Rut, transition into the poignant social commentary of Stevie Wonder, and drift into the deceptively serene, bittersweet piano balladry of Lou Reed. We close out our set by letting Crowded House remind us exactly why even our most beautiful dreams are eventually forced to reconcile with the stark, unvarnished truth. It's a six-track exploration of disillusionment, the sobering light of day, and the messy reality of what happens when the fantasy fades. Apple Podcasts Instagram Spotify Playlist Official Site

Welcome to another powerful, eye-opening broadcast of Hardcore Christianity on KXXC Christian Radio, hosted by Brother Mike, a professional counselor of 45 years from the Arizona Deliverance Center in downtown Phoenix. Taking inspiration from Stevie Wonder's classic hit "Part Time Lover," Brother Mike tackles a highly modern and deeply deceptive spiritual threat: AI companion apps. From Replika to Character.ai, virtual lovers are capturing the hearts of millions. But scripturally, this synthetic intimacy is setting the stage for a prophetic end-times deception. Dive in to understand how these highly advanced algorithms operate, why they are a trap for demonic oppression, and how to find real, authentic love in Christ. Key Takeaways: The "Part-Time" Digital Lover: How modern AI companion applications (like Replika and Character.ai) are designed to simulate human intimacy, targeting lonely individuals from the comfort of their own homes. The Mechanics of Synthetic Intimacy: A breakdown of how Large Language Models (LLMs) actively analyze your prompts, read communication patterns, adapt to your slang, and mirror your preferences to provide empathetic, non-judgmental, 24/7 validation. The Strong Delusion: Connecting the sudden boom of personal AI companions to the warning of end-times delusions sent to those who refuse the truth and take pleasure in injustice (2 Thessalonians 2:11-12). The Antichrist's Psychological Warfare: Prophesying how the future global regime will deploy sophisticated AI bots, fake avatars, and deceptive virtual personalities to manipulate human behavior on a massive scale. A Warning Against Spiritual Entrapment: Why entering into deep emotional or romantic bonds with artificial entities opens the door to demonic possession, and the urgent call to repent and seek real relationship in God. Key Takeaway: "Your new AI companion... will become an intimate personal companion of you. You don’t even have to leave the house... Don’t fall for this thing. You're going to pick up demons—enormous numbers of them. God is calling you to a real relationship." — Brother Mike Featured Bible Passages: 2 Thessalonians 2 – The prophecy of the coming apostasy, the working of Satan, and the "strong delusion" sent to those who reject the truth. Connect & Support: Visit the Deliverance Center: Join us at the red brick building on 15th Avenue, just south of Osborne Road in downtown Phoenix, Arizona.

Welcome back to When Words Fail, Music Speaks—the show where we dive deep into the healing power of music, especially when life's lows feel impossible to bear. I'm your host, James Cox, a lifelong music lover who's turned personal struggles with depression into a mission to help others find the same refuge I found in melody.In today's episode we sit down with a true renaissance man of the modern country scene—Dave McElroy. Dave's story reads like a novel: a businessman turned songwriter, television host, outdoorsman, and bandleader whose faith has repeatedly nudged him into unknown territory. From his early mornings in a coffee‑scented army truck listening to Loretta Lynn, to a second‑grade awe of Louis Armstrong, through a teenage fascination with Stevie Wonder, Van Halen, reggae beats, and even the occasional metal riff, Dave's influences are as diverse as his life experiences.We'll hear how those eclectic roots shape his sound—country at heart, yet tinged with rock, R&B, and a subtle Tom Petty slide‑guitar vibe that surfaces on his single “Vibin'.” We'll explore his journey from a top‑40 breakout, through the challenges of releasing singles versus a full‑length album, to the heartbreaking loss of his beloved drummer Jared and the very real conversations about mental health that now drive his podcast's purpose.Dave also shares the humble moments that keep him grounded: hunting trips in the Midwest, the smell of fresh‑mowed grass that whisks him back to childhood, and his abiding belief that music is a lifeline—“the breathing” that carries us through the darkest days. Along the way we'll touch on his “king of country” debates, his love for legends like Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks, and George Jones, and his relentless commitment to using his platform for charity, family, and faith.Stick around for the lightning round, where Dave reveals his first memorized country lyric, the instrument that challenged him the most, and the song he wishes he'd written himself. All of this—plus a sneak peek at an upcoming album slated for release this spring—makes for a heartfelt, candid conversation that underscores why, no matter the genre, music still speaks when words fall silent.Grab your headphones, sip a coffee (or a cold beer), and join us as we explore the man behind the music and the melodies that keep us moving forward.

Guest of the pod, Elaine Leung, has seen Earth, Wind & Fire close to 25 times — and by her own admission, that still makes her a rookie in EWF fan circles. She joins Planet LP host Ted Asregadoo this week to dig into the band's "fire years," the run of albums from the mid-to-late '70s that turned Maurice White's group into one of the biggest acts in music. The conversation covers a lot of ground: the jazz- and bossa nova-inflected 1971 debut most casual fans have never heard, the All 'n All one-two punch of "Serpentine Fire" and "Fantasy," and the humble kalimba — the thumb piano that shows up throughout the catalog and became so central to White's sound he named his publishing company after it. Ted plays a couple of clips from Questlove's new HBO documentary, Earth, Wind & Fire (To Be Celestial vs. That's the Weight of the World), including Maurice White on the kalimba and Stevie Wonder on how "Shining Star" inspired "I Wish." Elaine and Ted also get into the harder parts of the story: White's difficult childhood, the band's brief pivot to a slicker, David Foster-produced pop sound on 1979's I Am, and the tension that came with it — plus why the band's lyrics seldom use gendered pronouns, and what that says about their whole philosophy of inclusivity and positivity. Elaine closes things out with a genuinely lovely story about her brother, "September," and why this song means so much to her. __ This episode is sponsored by Steve Fox's Old School — classic soul, R&B, and hip hop from the golden era.

Welcome back to When Words Fail, Music Speaks — the show where we battle depression, anxiety, and everyday overwhelm with the undeniable power of music. In today's episode, host James Cox welcomes back the remarkable artist, speaker, and transformation coach Michele Blood for a deeply uplifting conversation.Michele, shares how she turned personal tragedy into a mission: creating affirmational pop tracks that literally re‑wire the subconscious. She explains why she writes in major keys, how a simple positive jingle can stay stuck in your mind longer than a commercial, and what neuroscience says about music‑driven affirmations. From her collaborations with the late Bob Proctor and Dr. Chopra, to her new apps (True Prayer, Magnet to Money, etc.) and two fresh books, Michelle reveals the tools she's built to help listeners heal, succeed, and love themselves.We dive into the difference between “inspirational” and “healing” music, hear snippets of her 80's‑style disco anthem “Synergy” and the soul‑stretching ballad “Communication,” and explore why certain songs make us cry, why honesty scares us more than silence, and why music—not time—wins the battle against low vibration.Stay tuned for a rapid‑fire “Lightning Round,” a glimpse into Michelle's creative process, and her favorite legends—from Stevie Wonder and Journey's Steve Perry to Sting and Whitney Houston. Whether you're a seasoned affirmations fan or a skeptic curious about the science, this episode offers a roadmap to raise your frequency, smash procrastination, and turn every day into a melody of possibility.Grab your headphones, open your heart, and get ready—because when words fail, music speaks, and today it's speaking louder than ever.
