Kelly's iconic 1993 album 12 Play — a project that reshaped 90s R&B, slow jams, and contemporary Black music culture.We break down the sound, songwriting, production, and cultural impact of 12 Play, discussing how the album influenced a generation of artists and helped define the era of grown & sexy R&B. Jacci McGhee brings her industry insight, personal experiences, and musical perspective as we revisit the hits, the deep cuts, and the legacy of one of the most talked-about albums in R&B history.This conversation explores the musical brilliance, controversy, and lasting influence of 12 Play, while placing the album in context alongside other classic 90s R&B records. Whether you're a fan of New Jack Swing, classic soul, or R&B storytelling, this is a must-watch discussion for true music lovers.

Don and Dude keep the “I Love the 80s” trip rolling into 1985, when rock grew darker and more spiritual while RB slipped fully into the age of drum machines and neon-lit bedrooms. One of us drops the needle on a brooding British rock record that turns goth shadows and psychedelic guitar into stadium-sized transcendence, while the other sinks into a self-produced Michigan R & B debut where DIY cassette demos, sensual slow jams, and Minneapolis-inspired grooves rewire romance for the electronic era. The AlbumsThe Cult – Love (1985) The Cult's second album finds Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy fusing post-punk tension, psychedelic guitars, and classic rock heft into a moody, hypnotic sound that feels heavy without ever turning hostile. Producer Steve Brown surrounds chiming Gretsch riffs, tribal grooves, and spiritual lyrics with spacious, atmospheric mixes, creating an elemental world where songs like “Nirvana,” “She Sells Sanctuary,” and “Brother Wolf, Sister Moon” chase transcendence more than aggression. Across its eight-minute epics and goth-tinted anthems, the record helps define mid-80s alternative rock by proving that big riffs, ritualistic repetition, and belief can make rock feel massive and mystical at the same time.Ready for the World – Ready for the World (1985) Cut largely in a Flint, Michigan studio and kept in near-demo form, Ready for the World's self-titled debut turns a shoestring, self-produced setup into a sleek blend of synth-funk, electro grooves, and unabashed bedroom RB. Melvin Riley Jr. and company lean on drum machines, DX-era keys, and smooth tenor vocals to deliver everything from slow-burn seductions like “Tonight” and “Human Toy” to the Prince-adjacent smash “Oh Sheila,” which briefly fooled listeners into thinking it was a Minneapolis release. The album's platinum run and crossover chart success show how mid-80s RB could sound futuristic and intimate at once, nudging the genre toward the stripped-down, synth-forward sound that would shape Quiet Storm and early New Jack Swing.Diggin' AlbumsThe Molotovs – Wasted on Youth (2026) A punchy London debut that slams together punk urgency, new wave hooks, and garage grit, tracing modern youth burnout and identity crises over short, shout-along anthems built for sweaty club stages.Mr. Mister – Welcome to the Real World (1985) A polished 80s pop-rock landmark where shimmering synths, big choruses, and studio-perfect performances turn “Broken Wings” and “Kyrie” into FM radio staples with quietly existential streaks.Softcult – When a Flower Doesn't Grow (2026) Canadian twins Mercedes and Phoenix Arn-Horn deliver a grimy, shoegaze-leaning full-length that weds fuzzed-out guitars and hazy vocals to unflinching songs about gender violence, trauma, and systemic misogynyBartees Strange – Magic Boy (2026) A shape-shifting set that pulls folk, emo, hip hop, and indie rock into intimate, guitar-forward songs, reconnecting his early acoustic roots with the expansive, genre-scrambling vision of his later work.Follow & Support Follow the show on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and Bluesky @albumnerds, and support by subscribing, rating, reviewing, and sharing.“Hey, how come Andrew gets to get up?

This episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show Podcast kicks off with a look at Coco Jones preparing to perform the Black National Anthem, “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” at Super Bowl LX. Jones shared that she’s been leaning on a vocal trick once used by Whitney Houston—eating Lay’s potato chips to keep her voice “oiled” before major performances—as she gears up for one of the biggest stages in sports. Reports also confirm Coco’s performance continues the NFL’s now‑annual inclusion of the Black National Anthem before kickoff, with Jones joining a lineup that includes Charlie Puth and Brandi Carlile during pre‑game ceremonies. Meanwhile, the show addresses online buzz about SZA and country‑hip‑hop artist Shaboozey, with multiple sources confirming that despite months of speculation, the two have never been romantically involved and maintain only a platonic friendship. Later, listeners get a lively segment featuring super‑producer Teddy Riley, whose new memoir Remember the Times chronicles his rise from Harlem to shaping the sound of modern R&B and hip‑hop through the creation of New Jack Swing and collaborations with icons like Michael Jackson, Mary J.

As conversation turns political, the team reacts to Donald Trump’s recent repost of an AI‑generated video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, which sparked bipartisan condemnation before the White House deleted it, claiming a staffer posted it in error.

In this powerful and heart-centered episode, Ian Von sits down with R&B legend Christopher Williams for a deep, honest conversation that spans New Jack Swing nostalgia, near-death experiences, spiritual alignment, and a full-circle musical comeback.Christopher opens up about releasing new music in today's R&B landscape, surviving kidney failure and relearning how to walk and talk, and the divine alignment that led to his new single “Good Enough.” He reflects on the impact of his classic hit “I'm Dreamin' and the cultural legacy of New Jack City, while sharing invaluable lessons from the golden era of '90s R&B—and what today's artists can learn from it.This episode is part testimony, part masterclass, and part celebration of a career that's still evolving 36 years later.

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show dives into a whirlwind of celebrity headlines, beginning with the fiery social‑media clash between Nicki Minaj and Don Lemon. Minaj harshly criticized Lemon for livestreaming an anti‑ICE church protest, using language widely condemned as a homophobic slur, prompting Lemon to publicly fire back and call her “out of her depth,” “ignorant,” and “a homophobic bigot.” Adding to the show's drama recap, longtime Real Housewives star NeNe Leakes has reportedly secured a multi‑million‑dollar settlement in her racial‑discrimination lawsuit against Bravo and is now set to return to the network—an unexpected reconciliation considering her 2022 accusations that the network tolerated a hostile, racially insensitive environment. Meanwhile, the internet is buzzing over Luenell and Al B. Sure, whose affectionate videos and public coziness have sparked widespread dating speculation. Though some fans suspect trolling or a PR stunt, others note the pair’s genuine chemistry, deepening connection, and Luenell’s long history of guarding her private life—making this unexpected pairing even more intriguing. Rounding out the entertainment roundup, legendary producer Teddy Riley is preparing to release his memoir Remember the Times on February 10, 2026. The book promises an intimate look at his career, from pioneering New Jack Swing to creating era‑defining hits with icons like Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, and Mary J. Blige.

New Jack Swing kicked the door open in the late 80s and rearranged the furniture. Born at the crossroads of slick R&B vocals and the punchy swagger of hip hop beats, it fused polished melodies with drum machine snap, sampled funk, and a streetwise pulse. Teddy Riley was the mad scientist at the center of it all, wiring together sounds that felt futuristic and familiar at the same time. Artists like Bobby Brown, Janet Jackson, Guy, Keith Sweat, and Bell Biv DeVoe turned dance floors into pressure cookers, where romance, bravado, and pure groove all bounced to the same rhythm When Dave and Rob dive into New Jack Swing, they will be stepping into an era where R&B stopped tiptoeing and started strutting, and they will be picking their personal favorites from the genre along the way. This style dominated the late 80s and early 90s by changing how songs were produced, how artists moved, and how hip hop and R&B talked to each other.

When Grammy-nominated Louisiana Zydeco musician Corey Ledet offered to discuss Bruno Mars' multi-platinum third album '24K Magic', TRGMH host and part-time music snob Rob braced himself for a painful week. But Mars' tight, 9-song attempt to capture the sound of the 80s/90s R&B, funk and New Jack Swing he listened and danced to during his childhood - the same music Ledet listened to as a teen growing up in Houston, TX. - quickly won him over.

Don and Dude return to Classic Casey Countdowns, this time jumping to December 2, 1989, to trace the stories behind two albums tied to Top 10 hits from Casey Kasem's American Top 40. The episode revisits how Paula Abdul and Alice Cooper helped capture the glossy, hook-heavy sound of the chart's closing weeks of the 1980s.Paula Abdul – Forever Your Girl (1988) Paula Abdul's debut, Forever Your Girl, transforms her from superstar choreographer into full-fledged pop icon, blending dance-pop, New Jack Swing, and bright R&B textures across a tightly produced set. Powered by hits like “Straight Up,” “Cold Hearted,” and “(It's Just) The Way That You Love Me,” the album pairs punchy drum machines and synth hooks with Paula's charismatic, rhythmic vocals, defining late-'80s MTV and Top 40 radio.Alice Cooper – Trash (1989) With Trash, Alice Cooper stages a late-'80s glam-metal comeback, teaming with hitmaker Desmond Child and an all-star cast from Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Winger, and more to deliver a sleek, hook-loaded hard rock record. From the darkly seductive hit “Poison” to power ballads like “Only My Heart Talkin'” and rockers such as “House of Fire,” the album balances shock-rock attitude with radio-ready choruses for a sharp, 40-minute dose of melodic arena metal.Dude is Diggin':AVTT/PTTN – AVTT/PTTN (2025): A wild, imaginative collaboration between The Avett Brothers and Mike Patton that fuses Appalachian folk warmth with experimental, fuzzed-out art rock, full of soaring harmonies and left-turn arrangements.Faith No More – The Real Thing (1989): The genre-bending breakthrough that introduced Mike Patton and pushed metal, funk, rap, and alt-rock into a strange, thrilling hybrid that still feels adventurous decades later.Don is Diggin':De La Soul – Cabin in the Sky (2025): A mature, soulful return that honors Trugoy's memory while leaning into reflective, optimistic lyricism over warm, eclectic production.Kingfishr – Halcyon (2025): An atmospheric indie-folk debut from an Irish trio that blends big, emotional choruses with cinematic arrangements and nostalgic storytelling rooted in home and landscape.Follow the show on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and Bluesky @albumnerds, and support by subscribing, rating, reviewing, and sharing. “If you're going to try to write a hit single, don't be clever, be obvious.

Don and Dude get honest about the records that live in their guilty pleasure zone. These are favorites we rarely admit loving but revisit for comfort, catharsis, and cool-defying joy. Get ready for heartfelt hooks, lush harmonies, and surprising confessions.These are the records we play in private, the ones that keep finding their way back onto the playlist, no matter what critics say. From grungy Buffalo alt-rock to glossy New Jack Swing, this episode is all about celebrating what truly moves us.Goo Goo Dolls – Dizzy Up The Girl (1998)Buffalo band's sixth album shows John Rzeznik's transition from punk covers to melodic, alternative rock stardom. Produced by Rob Cavallo, the band delivers earnest lyrics paired with arena-ready production. They found massive success after the breakthrough single “Name”.This record features a blend of punk grit with pop-rock polish. Upbeat riffs, cinematic string arrangements by David Campbell, and vulnerable songwriting all combine to make their sound distinct. Tracks like “Dizzy,” “Black Balloon,” “Broadway,” and “Iris” balance introspection and radio-friendliness. Deep cuts add emotional complexity and raw energy. The album established the Goo Goo Dolls as melodic hit-makers and proved vulnerability and anthems can work together.Color Me Badd – C.M.B. (1991)The breakout debut from this Oklahoma City vocal group became a cornerstone of R&B, pop, and New Jack Swing. Founding members Bryan Abrams, Mark Calderon, Sam Watters, and Kevin Thornton worked with Dr. Freeze, Howie Tee, and Nick Mundy on production. Their blend of doo-wop harmonies, polished synths, and playful sex appeal brought crossover chart success and influenced future vocal groups.This album features slow jams and party anthems with a playful spirit, classic ‘90s radio gold. Signature grooves sample Betty Wright and Lyn Collins, hooks loop through rich harmonies, and the vibe shifts from gospel inspiration to hints of Latin pop.

And More Tribute - You'll Never Find Another Love (New Jack Swing Mix) by NAW-T-BOY

Janvier – DeBarge : Rhythm Of the NightIssus d'une véritable saga familiale, les DeBarge passent du funk/soul de Switch à une pop FM plus large voulue par Motown. Composée par Diane Warren, cette chanson caribéenne devient leur plus gros hit, accompagnée d'un clip marquant et une présencce dans la B.O. du film The Last Dragon.Février – Jesse Johnson : Be Your ManAncien guitariste de The Time, proche de Prince mais souvent éclipsé par lui, Jesse Johnson lance sa carrière solo chez A&M. Son premier album révèle un guitariste brillant, héritier assumé de Hendrix et acteur clé du Minneapolis Sound.Mars – Steve Arrington : Feel So RealEx-membre de Slave, Arrington brille en solo avec ce tube soulful et jazzy où apparaît Freddie Hubbard à la trompette. Gros succès international, il sera son chant du cygne avant son virage spirituel et son retrait de la scène musicale.Avril – Freddie Jackson : Rock Me Tonight (For Old Times Sake)Dès son premier album, Freddie Jackson détrône Luther Vandross au sommet du R&B. Avec ce slow jam produit par Paul Lawrence et Barry Eastmond, il s'impose comme l'un des crooners emblématiques de l'ère quiet storm.Mai – Rick James : GlowDernier grand éclat de Rick James, ce single funky et théâtral met en scène son auto-dérision dans un clip culte. Entre grooves puissants et ballades samplées par le hip-hop, il reste un jalon marquant de sa carrière chez Motown.Juin – Aretha Franklin : Freeway Of LoveRelancée par Narada Michael Walden, Aretha Franklin signe un triomphe pop avec ce tube énergique, porté par le sax de Clarence Clemons. L'album Who's Zoomin' Who? lui offre un disque de platine et plusieurs hits mondiaux.Juillet – Ready For The World : Oh SheilaOriginaire du Michigan, RFTW connaît un succès fulgurant avec ce premier album inspiré par Prince et le son de Minneapolis. Leur tube Oh Sheila atteint la première place des classements R&B, dance et pop US, un sommet qu'ils ne retrouveront jamais.Août – Colonel Abrams : TrappedChanteur de Detroit installé à New York, Colonel Abrams marque la transition entre funk/disco et house music. Son titre Trapped devient un classique dance, annonciateur de la vague House à venir.Septembre – Full Force : Alice, I Want You Just For Me !Véritables pionniers du son new jack swing avant Teddy Riley, Full Force combinent funk, hip-hop et soul avec audace. Ce single, extrait de leur premier album, illustre leur créativité explosive, aussi bien en tant qu'artistes que producteurs.Octobre – Grace Jones : Slave To The RhythmProduit par Trevor Horn, ce titre conceptuel mêlant funk, new wave et orchestration luxuriante devient un hit international. Le clip, monté à partir des pubs de Jean-Paul Goude, contribue à renforcer l'aura iconique de Grace Jones.Novembre – Sheila E. : A Love BizarreExtrait de son deuxième album Romance 1600, ce single co-écrit avec Prince s'impose comme un classique Minneapolis Sound. Le clip, lié au film Krush Groove, immortalise l'énergie de Sheila E. et son rôle central dans l'univers des productions Paisley Park.Décembre – James Brown : Living in AmericaRevenu en force grâce à la BO de Rocky IV, James Brown livre un hymne patriotique produit par Dan Hartman. Avec ce tube où l'on trouve Stevie Ray Vaughan à la guitare, il décroche un Grammy et un ultime succès international.Hébergé par Ausha.

It's our second time reviewing a Take That album, this time it's 'Nobody Else' from 1995 which was the one they released just before Robbie Williams left the band and then they decided to split up thus ruining the lives of every teen girl in the UK. It's also the one that has Back For Good on it but having not heard anything other than the singles we weren't sure what the rest of the songs on here were going to be like. As it turns out, lots of New Jack Swing. But we also chat about Clutch, Earthling and Scatman John so happy days. As always please do give us a follow on our social media platforms and why not go and give us a nice rating or comment over on Spotify now that you're able to while you're checking out this episode's companion playlist (which contains ALL of the songs we talk about on this one) and our ongoing and sprawling playlist of songs from each album that we do an episode on.

Derrière l'icône, le bourreau. Fêtes privées sous contrôle, viols ritualisés, humiliations filmées, compromissions archivées, P. Diddy a transformé son label en une véritable machine à broyer les corps et les volontés. Dans cet épisode, Gaël et Geoffroy plongent dans l'univers glaçant d'un magnat du hip-hop protégé par des policiers corrompus et des élus complices. De la naissance de Bad Boy Records aux soirées “Freak-Offs”, ils décryptent les rouages d'un empire fondé sur la peur, le sexe et le silence et révèlent comment le rap est devenu un levier d'influence politique, où la rébellion se vend et l'impunité s'achète.

A child of the 70s, my heart beats to the timeless rhythms of old-school R&B, the electrifying vibes of 80s MTV, and the soulful grooves of 90s New Jack Swing. Growing up in New Bedford, MA, I was inspired by a vibrant local music scene and spent countless nights sleeping on studio floors to hone my craft. Since the mid-1980s, I've been crafting music that echoes the golden eras that shaped me, blending nostalgia with innovation to create a sound uniquely my own.

You know her honorific: Queen of Soul. And heavy is the head that wears the crown. In her lifetime, Aretha Franklin didn't just want to be revered. She wanted hits. But Franklin made pop come to her, not the other way around. When showtunes and standards didn't work in the '60s, Aretha switched to gritty R&B and gospel harmonies—and started topping the charts. When she recorded a live album in a church in the '70s, it became her best-seller. When the MTV era changed the game in the '80s, she did New Wave synthpop her way—and topped the charts again. In the '90s, she tried house, hip-hop and New Jack Swing, scoring hits deep into her fifties. Join Chris Molanphy as he explains how Aretha Franklin earned her regal title, one hit at a time. She won our respect by infusing the charts with a holy spirit and amazing grace—and she always remained a natural woman. Podcast production by Kevin Bendis.

They said it couldn't last, so we had to prove them wrong... by making an episode of Strong Songs all about Janet Jackson, Jimmy Jam, and Terry Lewis.It's time to go back to the late 80s, when New Jack Swing was all the rage and a budding superstar named Janet sat down with a pair of Minneapolis producers named Jimmy and Terry  to produce some of the most groundbreaking pop music of the decade.
