Continuing our I Love the 90s series, we move on to 1991, when kids lined up for Sonic the Hedgehog on Sega Genesis while nightly newscasts tracked the crumbling Soviet Union. Don and Dude drop the needle on one polished R&B and soul album and one heavy, alternative release that helped define the decade's sound, connecting both records to a world of Terminator 2 topping the box office, dial up bulletin boards and flannel becoming a fashion statement.The AlbumsMichael Jackson – Dangerous (1991)Michael Jackson's eighth studio album marked his first major release not built around the Quincy Jones partnership, moving deeper into Teddy Riley's New Jack Swing while still keeping rock, gospel and widescreen pop in the mix. Opening with the hard, compressed groove of "Jam" featuring Heavy D, the record moves through the confessional soul of "Remember the Time," the Slash powered rock detour "Give Into Me," and message songs like "Black or White" and "Heal the World" before closing on the theatrical title track. At nearly 80 minutes across fourteen songs, Dangerous plays as a restless, ambitious time capsule of early 1990s R&B, pop and social commentary.Soundgarden – Badmotorfinger (1991)Seattle sound architects Soundgarden built their third album around unusual time signatures, drop tunings and Chris Cornell's four octave vocal range, with new bassist Ben Shepherd pushing the classic lineup into more collaborative songwriting. Produced by Terry Date and released in October 1991 alongside Nevermind, Ten and Blood Sugar Sex Magik, the record opens with the shape shifting "Rusty Cage" and moves through the radio breakthrough "Outshined," the controversial "Jesus Christ Pose" and the horn laced "Room a Thousand Years Wide" before ending on the slow, unsettling "New Damage." Heavier and stranger than its Seattle peers, Badmotorfinger became the blueprint for everything Soundgarden built afterward.Diggin AlbumsDead Pioneers – Wagon Burner (2026):The Denver punk band fronted by Gregg Deal pushes past its hardcore roots into heavier riffs and wider atmosphere while keeping its Indigenous rooted, confrontational social commentary intact.Andy Shauf – The Neon Skyline (2020):The Canadian singer songwriter's largely self performed concept album follows a single bar room night confronting an old flame through warm chamber pop arrangements built on memory, regret and missed opportunities.Charli xcx – Music, Fashion, Film (2026):Coming off brat and her Wuthering Heights scoring work, the British pop artist reteams with A. G. Cook and composer Finn Keane on a seventh album that crosses her music, style and cinema worlds behind cover art pairing John Cale, Marc Jacobs and Martin Scorsese.Robyn Hitchcock – Stranded in the Future (2026):The British singer songwriter's second memoir, written and illustrated by Hitchcock himself, traces his teenage and early adult years from 1968 to 1978 as he discovers music and forms the Soft Boys.Follow & Support Follow the show on Instagram, Facebook, Threads and Bluesky @albumnerds, and support the podcast by subscribing, rating, reviewing and sharing it with another music obsessive who still loves hearing whole albums front to back."Hasta la vista, baby." - The Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger), Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991).

Long before the term "super-producer" existed, Larry Smith was altering the sonic DNA of modern music. In this episode, we dive deep into the life and career of hip-hop's forgotten architect. From his early days playing bass on Kurtis Blow's "The Breaks" to solo-producing entire multi-platinum blueprints like Run-D.M.C.'s King of Rock and Whodini's Escape, Smith bridged the gap between raw street poetry and massive radio hooks. Join us as we unpack how his pioneering rap-rock fusion inspired Rick Rubin, laid the foundations for New Jack Swing, and shaped the entire modern music industry.

Si sa disparition a été marquée par un silence assourdissant dans de nombreux médias, cet épisode spécial de Jams of the Year se donne pour mission de combler ce vide immense et de célébrer celui qui a transformé la musique noire américaine... et pas seulement.Nous vous proposons une plongée inédite à travers 12 thématiques clés retraçant une carrière qui dépasse largement la discographie officielle de Sly and the Family Stone.Au programme de ce voyage sonore :L'enfant prodige de Vallejo : Comment Sly maîtrisait déjà la batterie, la basse et la guitare à 11 ans au sein de l'église pentecôtiste avant de devenir un DJ influent à San Francisco.Le producteur de l'ombre : Découvrez ses années chez Autumn Records, où il a façonné le son de groupes légendaires comme les Beau Brummels et les prémices de Jefferson Airplane ou du Grateful Dead.La Family Stone : Une révolution multiraciale et mixte, née de la mixité culturelle de la Bay Area, fusionnant les idéaux du Flower Power et du Black Power.L'innovateur technologique : Son utilisation précurseur de la boîte à rythme, bien avant Stevie Wonder, et son génie de l'arrangement.L'influence colossale : Pourquoi Miles Davis, George Clinton, Earth, Wind & Fire et surtout Prince considéraient Sly comme leur « grand frère » musical.Du Sample au Live : L'héritage de Sly dans le hip-hop (LL Cool J, De La Soul) et les reprises rock et R&B (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Raphael Saadiq).Que vous soyez un fan inconditionnel ou un néophyte curieux, cet épisode vous invite à redécouvrir l'alchimie unique d'un artiste qui a su briser les codes pour créer un funk décomplexé, insolent et éternel.Artistes cités et analysés : The Temptations, Gladys Knight & The Pips, The Gap Band, Jesse Johnson, Prince, Larry Graham, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Raphael Saadiq, LL Cool J. et bien d'autres.À propos de Jams Of The YearCréé par Raphael Melki et Belkacem Meziane, Jams Of The Year est un podcast dédié aux amateurs de musique funk, soul, rap et R&B.

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show delivered a mix of entertainment, nostalgia, and major headlines as the crew discussed the tragic news that NFL star Calais Campbell’s brother, Ciarre Campbell, has been charged in connection with the death of their mother, Nateal Campbell, in Atlanta. Authorities say the case remains under investigation, while the Campbell family has asked for privacy as they grieve. The show also highlighted exciting music news ahead of the ESSENCE Festival, where Missy Elliott is set to lead a special tribute celebrating the life and legacy of Aaliyah. The tribute coincides with the 30th anniversary of Aaliyah’s groundbreaking album One in a Million, a project that helped redefine modern R&B through her collaborations with Missy Elliott and Timbaland. Live from the BET Awards, Gary With Da Tea caught up with B2K, who reflected on 25 years in the music industry and revealed plans for their upcoming album Eclipse along with a new single, “Mileage,” marking the group’s first new music in more than two decades. The morning also featured an in-depth conversation with R&B icon Keith Sweat, who discussed his legacy as a pioneer of New Jack Swing, the enduring appeal of classic love songs, and his upcoming performance on the One Voyage Cruise. Keith shared insights about working with Teddy Riley, his continued passion for creating music, and why love remains the driving force behind his career nearly four decades after his debut.

Despite a career that has sold more than 30 million records and a catalog that could allow him to retire comfortably, Keith Sweat says he keeps working to set an example for his children. He believes his work ethic teaches future generations that success comes through hard work, not entitlement. Known for helping pioneer the New Jack Swing era with his groundbreaking 1987 debut Make It Last Forever, Sweat continues to push himself creatively. While he enjoys a simple life filled with friends, family, and relaxing at home, he's still focused on expanding his musical legacy. Keith revealed that he's currently preparing to release three projects at once—an R&B album, an Afrobeat album, and a Southern Soul album featuring artists like King George, Calvin Richardson, and potentially Anthony Hamilton. Rather than chasing trends, Sweat says he's proving he can succeed across multiple genres while continuing to build on a legacy that has already stood the test of time.

The show celebrates Bobby Brown as he marks 35 years of Don’t Be Cruel, a groundbreaking album that helped define R&B and New Jack Swing, produced multiple chart-topping hits, and sold millions worldwide. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Clarence Carter (1936 - 2026)Nous venons d'apprendre le décès du chanteur, auteur, compositeur Clarence Carter.Voici un extrait de l'épisode de Jams Of The Year pour l'année 1968, où nous mettions en avant le titre Slip AwayLe chanteur et guitariste Clarence Carter est aveugle de naissance. Il débute sa carrière en 1961 en duo avec Calvin Scott, un ami d'enfance lui aussi aveugle. En 1965, le duo enregistre aux studios FAME et sortent un single chez Atlantic. Scott est victime d'un accident de voiture et Carter continue seul. Après le succès de Tell Daddy que réadapte Etta James sur Tell Mama, il explose avec Slip away (N°2 R&B et N°6 US). Ce titre sur l'infidélité est inspiré de Steal away de Jimmy Hughes, le premier single enregistré à FAME. Il demande à sa maîtresse de trouver un moyen pour le rejoindre sans que son mari ne le sache. Elle a été coécrite avec ses musiciens de tournée William Armstrong (orgue), Marcus Daniel (basse) et Wilbur Terrell (batterie).Carter aura d'autres succès dont Back door Santa, une chanson de Noël à caractère sexuel et Patches, une jolie chanson en hommage à son père. Il sera un temps marié à Candi Staton, une de ses choristes.Slip Away de l'album This is Clarence CarterSpooner Oldham (keyboards), Tommy Cogbill (basse), Roger Hawkins (batterie), Duane Allman (slide guitar)À propos de Jams Of The YearCréé par Raphael Melki et Belkacem Meziane, Jams Of The Year est un podcast dédié aux amateurs de musique funk, soul, rap et r&b.

Keith Sweat — singer, songwriter, producer, and one of the architects of New Jack Swing — sits down to chop it up about what the music industry never wanted him to know, and how he figured it out anyway.Keith gets real about his come-up from Harlem, what it actually takes to build longevity in this business, and the deals he took, the deals he passed on, and the lessons that came from both. This isn't just a music conversation — this is a masterclass in entrepreneurship, ownership, and surviving an industry designed to take everything from you.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Produit par Harvey Fuqua et Johnny Bristol, ce titre devient son plus grand succès des années 60.Février – Booker T & The MG's : Time Is TightIssu de la B.O. du film Uptight, ce chef-d'œuvre instrumental s'inscrit dans le climat social brûlant de l'après-Martin Luther King. Son groove imparable servira plus tard d'introduction culte aux concerts des Blues Brothers.Mars – Dyke & The Blazers : We Got More SoulVéritable soldat de la genèse du funk, Arlester "Dyke" Christian clame ici la fierté noire. Accompagné par les futurs musiciens d'Earth, Wind & Fire, il systématise l'usage du mot "funky" et pose les bases des breakbeats chers au hip-hop.Avril – Jr. Walker & The All Stars : What Does It Take (To Win Your Love)Le saxophoniste au son rauque signe ici un n°1 R&B mémorable. Soutenu par les Funk Brothers de Motown, ce titre démontre la puissance mélodique d'un artiste capable de faire chanter son instrument comme personne.Mai – Clarence Reid : Nobody But You BabeAvant de devenir l'extravagant Blowfly, Reid livre un joyau de la soul de Miami. Très inspiré par le groove des Isley Brothers, le morceau bénéficie de l'appui magistral des Memphis Horns.Juin – Lou Rawls : Your Good Thing (Is About To End)Ami d'enfance de Sam Cooke, Rawls réinterprète cette composition d'Isaac Hayes et David Porter.

Le titre est co-écrit par Ron Dunbar.Septembre – The Honey Cone : Girls It Ain't EasyCe trio vocal, incluant la sœur de Darlene Love, est la réponse de Hot Wax aux Supremes. Leur harmonie parfaite et leur sens du tube les mèneront rapidement au sommet des charts mondiaux.Octobre – Donny Hathaway : The GhettoPremier single de l'immense Donny Hathaway, ce titre quasi instrumental devient un hymne intemporel de la soul urbaine.

Après avoir incarné le lover et le bad boy sur les deux premiers singles, ce titre le présente comme un coureur de jupons. Dans le clip on le voit suivre une jolie fille dans la rue et la draguer un peu « lourdement ». La chanson sonne presque rythme & blues avec ses harmonies et ses cuivres mais avec une instrumentation électro-synthétique. C'est un immense hit international comme tous les singles de l'album. Celui-ci se vendra à 35 millions d'exemplaires.Jams Of The Year 1987Ecoutez l'épisode dans son intégralité et découvrez les 11 autres artistes que nous abordonsIci : https://smartlink.ausha.co/jams-of-the-year/07-les-jams-de-l-annee-1987Aidez nous, en soutenant gratuitement ce podcast !Comment ?

Sur l'album précédent ce sont Babyface, L.A Reid et Daryll Simmons qui composent et produisent mais on les retrouve tout de même sur quelques titres dont les hits « Humpin' Around » (N°1 r'n'b, N°3 US) et « Good Enough ». Riley travaille avec son partenaire Bernard Belle et engage Chauncey Hannibal et Levon Little de Blackstreet pour les choeurs. Les invités sont nombreux : Whitney Houston, The Winans,Chanté Moore, Ricky Bell et des musiciens comme Paul Jackson Jr (guitare), Ricky Lawson (batterie) ou Nathan East (basse). « Get Away » est un hit (N°3 r'n'b, N°14 US) qui contient un sample et des chants empruntés à « (Not Just) Knee Deep » de Funkadelic. C'est un peu une suite de « My Prerogative ». Il chante qu'il fait ce qu'il veut, qu'il doit s'isoler des gens qui lui nuisent. D'ailleurs il chante un moment : « Do what I wanna do, 'cause it's my prerogative... ». D'autres singles sortiront avec un succès plus mitigé : « That's the Way Love Is », « Something in Common » « Two Can Play That Game ».Jams Of The Year 1993Ecoutez l'épisode dans son intégralité et découvrez les 11 autres artistes que nous abordonsIci : https://smartlink.ausha.co/jams-of-the-year/24-les-jams-de-l-annee-1993Aidez nous, en soutenant gratuitement ce podcast !Comment ?

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. Blige, and Jay‑Z. 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. The episode blends entertainment, culture, and headline news, giving listeners a sharp, humorous, and insightful take on everything happening right now.

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. Expect a rundown of the songs that defined the sound for them, because New Jack Swing did not just soundtrack a moment, it defined an attitude Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/totally-80s-and-90s-recall/id1662282694    Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11dk5TUoLUk4euD1Te1EYG?si=b37496eb6e784408    Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/1960c8f9-158d-43ac-89a6-d868ea1fe077/totally-80s-and-90s-recall    YouTube Podcasts: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH9lGakNgCDZUkkHMUu88uXYMJu_33Rab&si=xo0EEVJRSwS68mWZ   Contact Us: Website: https://totally80s90srecall.podbean.com/  Email: 80s90srecall@gmail.com LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall  Voicemail #: (509) 426-4542    Playlists: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/64WiYudzrtZCjE9HfAogdT?si=6gLFbrWjTyqY8kKtNVjn0w    Apple: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/80s90s-new-jack-swing/pl.u-9N9L1N3s7Y6Wq9?ls   Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/user-playlists/65c1976794114d21a215dc7e68a729b7sune?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_XM7iQG0NCCJ79JZDSALnDyMVD

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.

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.

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. C.M.B. went triple platinum, set a new standard for pop-R&B, and paved the way for a wave of boy bands and vocal groups to follow.Diggin'Dude:Carter Faith – Cherry Valley (2025) This debut blends cinematic country, indie spirit, and strong songwriting, especially on “Sex, Drugs and Country Music.”America – America (1971) A folk-rock classic packed with acoustic warmth, reflective themes, and “A Horse With No Name”.Don:Taylor Swift – The Life of a Showgirl (2025) Upbeat pop and soft rock inspired by Eras Tour moments and high-profile relationships. “The Fate of Ophelia” stands out.Gary Numan – Telekon (1980) A synth-driven, dystopian electronic album that inspired the future of industrial music, highlighted by “We Are Glass”.What album is your secret crush?

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.

The “locked in” YTW is not guaranteed; you may receive less than the YTW of the bonds in the Bond Account if you sell any of the bonds before maturity or if the issuer defaults on the bond. Public Investing charges a markup on each bond trade. See our Fee Schedule. Bond Accounts are not recommendations of individual bonds or default allocations. The bonds in the Bond Account have not been selected based on your needs or risk profile. See https://public.com/disclosures/bond-account to learn more. Learn more about your ad choices.
