With the release of her latest single, the soulful and sensualromance “You Know What It's Like,” Brenda Russell not only continues to pave the way for her highly anticipated upcoming album Songpainter – her first collection in 20 years – but also makes a triumphant return to the refined classic blend of adult contemporary R&B and urban jazz that launched and defined the trailblazing four and a half decade career of the multi-Grammy nominated singer/songwriter, Tony nominated and Grammy winning Broadway composer for The Color Purple.  “You Know What It's Like” is a co-write by the singer and the legendary Roberta Flack. When people assess Brenda's overall career, her success as an artist and with The Color Purple often overshadows the gemsshe wrote that were hits for other artists. Beyond Oleta Adams' “Get Here,” Brenda's gems have been recorded by Luther Vandross (“If Only for One Night”), Donna Summer (“Dinner with Gershwin”), Babyface, The Manhattan Transfer, Patti Austin, Dionne Warwick, Mary J. Blige, Tina Turner, Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan and Ramsey Lewis. Her tunes have also been sampled by everyone from Janet Jackson and 2Pace to Chance the Rapper and Ariana Grande. In addition, Brenda's co-composition with Brazilian artist Ivan Lins “She Walks This Earth” was recorded by international superstar Sting for the all-star tribute album Love Affair: The Music Of Ivan Lins. Sting's inspired performance of the uniquely beautiful song earned him a Grammy Award in 2001 for Best Pop Male Vocal Performance. Brenda was recently elected into the Female Songwriters Hall of Fame.    Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

Longtime fans of contemporary jazz may remember Dr. Dave from his initial success as a recording artist in the mid-90s, when his albums I Like It Like That, Smooth and Cruisin' made big splashes in the early days of the Smooth Jazz format. SoCal based composer/guitarist Dr. Dave mounted a massive comeback in 2018, forming The Housecall Band and stirring up excitement among longtime fans (while creating thousands of new ones) with the 2018 release of Midnight Daydream. The funky, powerhouse, horn-drenched album spawned four hit singles, starting with the sultry, infectiously seductive “Sexy Cindy” – one of Dr. Dave's biggest hits ever, ranking #1 for Smooth Jazz Guitar songs in the U.S. on Radio Guitar One's Top 20. The song was named for Cindy Sanchez Medina, Miss Santander, Colombia 2018, who appeared in the much-viewed YouTube video. Dr. Dave's got another magnificent female muse in mind on his latest single, the cleverly titled “Reserved for Abbie,” a seductive, deeply passionate ballad expressing his enduring affection for a onetime girlfriend who lived several states away.  In addition to the across-the-board success of “Sexy Cindy,” Dr. Dave's return to contemporary jazz with Midnight Daydream led to a prolific flow of radio and streaming hits, including the guitarist's all-time top streamed song “Cecil's Groove,” currently at 3.7M+ streams on Spotify. The title track “Midnight Daydream” earned a multitude of accolades: #1 most added on the Radio Wave Internet Airplay Chart; #5 on the SmoothJazz.com Radar Chart; #9 on the SmoothJazz.com Top 100 Indie Chart and #14 on the SmoothJazz.com Top 100. A third single, “Cabo Time,” reached #19 on the SmoothJazz.com Radar chart.  The album's fourth single was a blues, jazz, funk and rock track developed around the opening “Hey Hey Hey Hey” riff heard nightly since 2014 by the house band (who wrote it) on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” Dr. Dave and the Housecall Band followed up in 2021 with Carefree Revisited, a full band revamp of an earlier unreleased solo album.    Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

Send us a textI've been "bossy" the moment I popped out of the womb. Loud. Confident. Opinionated. And I'm lucky. Because somewhere along the way, I realized—none of that was actually a bad thing. Being bold and self-assured shouldn't be something we're taught to tone down. It should be something we protect fiercely. That's why this week's episode with Dr. Lisa Hinkelman hit me so damn hard.Dr. Lisa Hinkelman is the founder of ROX (Ruling Our eXperiences), a nonprofit that's teaching girls how to take up space in a world that constantly asks them to shrink. Lisa and I dive deep into what it means to raise confident daughters when confidence is statistically tanking between the ages of 10 and 14—and doesn't bounce back for most women until our mid-forties. We talk about “bossy” labels, girl drama, ghosting, why confrontation isn't a dirty word, and what it looks like to finally unlearn being the nice girl.If you've ever walked through the world feeling like you were too much—too loud, too strong, too opinionated—or if you're raising a daughter who's starting to dim her light to fit in, this episode is required listening.

It wasn't until 2024, however, that Alex landed his breakout role as Tommaso in Juliet & Romeo, relocating to Verona, Italy for six months, where he trained with the stunt team and the horse stunt teams to become proficient in performing his own stunts in the film. After several months of training in stunt work, Alex was offered the opportunity to become the stunt double for Romeo as well. Alex is also passionate about campaigning for more research in the medical field, to help discover preventative measures that treat cancers and neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's – diseases that have directly impacted his life and the life of his loved ones.

Elton John is not only "still standing," he is a living superlative, the ultimate record-breaking, award-winning survivor of the great era of pop and rock music that he helped to shape during his six decades in the music industry. Yet few of his numerous biographies and song guides take him as a historical subject worthy of scholarly study.In contrast, On Elton John: An Opinionated Guide (Oxford University Press, 2025) approaches the artist seriously and analytically, while still couched in a highly accessible style. Author Matthew Restall offers a new way to explore Sir Elton's career and music within the contexts of other artists and of sweeping shifts in popular culture during his lifetime. Each of the ten chapters is anchored to an Elton song, rooted in its pop culture history, and advances a clear argument, pairing him with figures ranging from Bernie (Bernie Taupin, his lyricist) to Bennie (of the Jets), from "frenemy" David Bowie to artists like Rod Stewart, Aretha Franklin, and Dua Lipa, from Diana (the princess) to Jesus (yes, that one). Restall contends that Sir Elton's career offers us a novel way to see and understand the last half century of pop music and culture history--whether we call the era that of the album, of rock, of postmodernism, or of something else. The yellow brick road of Sir Elton's career has been long, winding, and bumpy, but, as Restall argues, his success has come not just despite but because of those challenges. The artist's transformations from Reg to Elton to Sir Elton to Uncle Elton, from ugly duckling to bedazzled swan, from the world's biggest rock star to creator of the world's largest AIDS fundraising organization, from tabloid punching bag to pop royalty, have all served as survival strategies that illuminate the era he has thereby navigated. Matthew Restall teaches at the Pennsylvania State University, where he is Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of History, Anthropology, and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, and Director of Latin American Studies.

Award-winning actress, history-making supermodel, staunch philanthropist, conscientious activist, author, and loving mom Patricia Velásquez applies an eternal creative spirit to everything she does-whether it be starring in blockbusters a la The Curse of La Llorona or launching the Wayúu Tayá Foundation and participating on the UNESCO Board. Regardless, she makes major strides by drawing on instinct and deliberately paving her own path. Patricia's success represented a turning point in fashion as she drew industry attention to South America for the first time. She experienced a big break upon becoming "the first model Karl Lagerfeld ever photographed" and going on to walk in shows, star in editorial spreads, and front ads for Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, Chloe, Cover Girl, and Victoria's Secret, to name a few. Resonating around the globe, she appeared in Oprah and Ford Models' "Supermodel of the World" contest as well. Not to mention, she graced the covers of Vogue, Bazaar, Marie Claire, and many others. She artfully channeled her dance training during shoots. Simultaneously, she ignited an impressive acting career. Not only did she star in The Mummy and The Mummy Returns, but she also appeared on The L Word, Arrested Development, CSI: Miami, Ugly Betty, List of a Lifetime, Hawaii 5-0 and Rescue Me.  Throughout her career, she capitalized on every opportunity to give back. In 2002, she founded the Wayúu Tayá Foundation. This non-profit preserves the culture of indigenous groups throughout Latin America by way of support and the drastic improvement of living conditions. UNESCO invited her to be a celebrity advocate, and the United Nations granted her the 2009 Women Together Award.    Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod. (Please Subscribe)

Today on Too Opinionated we sit down with author David Banks to talk about his first book, The Meeting of the Five: Convergence. In the days when prophecy becomes reality, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse walk among us wearing human faces. Bound by destiny and divine purpose, these harbingers of the end times find themselves drawn together on an inexorable journey toward their final meeting. As War's conflicts rage within, Death grapples with the weight of his eternal duty, Pestilence seeks understanding in suffering, and Famine witnesses humanity's deepest hungers. But even in these darkest of days, hope persists. As the Antichrist rises and the Horsemen converge, unexpected encounters with the Son of Man himself reveal that even in apocalyptic times, redemption casts light into the deepest shadows. This haunting tale weaves together biblical prophecy with deeply human struggles, asking what it means to be both divine messenger and mortal vessel when the fate of all hangs in the balance. In this masterful exploration of faith, destiny, and the power of hope in the face of devastation, the end of all things becomes a beginning no one could have foreseen.
