Podcasts about Quiet storm

In the mid-1970's, a small college radio station created an evening program catering to a new socioeconomic group referred to as the “new Black middle class.” The show was called “The Quiet Storm” and it grew so popular that an entire genre of music would spring up alongside it. Artists like Anita Baker, Luther Vandross, and many more would find massive success in the genre, performing smooth and sexy songs you could turn on after a long day. Audio producer Christopher Johnson made a piece about The Quiet Storm for the legendary podcast about design 99% Invisible and he joins Anna to talk about why Quiet Storm music will always feel like home to him.You can listen to The Quiet Storm playlist from 99% Invisible here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0cuU6j4C77EEuQDRWEEKFb?si=a2u3yKzLTwqz7cvycywmUw This episode was produced for DSM by Andrew Dunn.

Quiet Storm is an unforgettable first statement from Charli LeBeau, proving that the loudest emotions are often whispered instead of shouted. It is a debut built for rainy nights, long drives, and anyone learning to find light inside the shadows.

Join us for an exclusive, deep dive into the golden era of R&B with award-winning DJ, educator, and USA Today bestselling author Amani Roberts. In this special episode, we pull back the curtain on the rich tapestry of 90s R&B, exploring the cultural shifts, industry secrets, and the surprising reasons why the dominant groups of that era began to fade. Amani Roberts brings his expert insight to the table, breaking down the impact of the 1996 Telecommunications Act, the transformation of radio formats, and the industry's pivot away from group-based talent toward solo artists. From the legendary status of Boys II Men to the overlooked struggles of iconic acts like TLC and En Vogue, we uncover the hidden history of the music that shaped a generation. We also discuss the blueprint for the next generation of supergroups and why nostalgia-driven tours are currently the most powerful force in music. Whether you are an R&B diehard, a music history buff, or interested in the business of entertainment, this conversation offers a fresh look at the rhythm and soul of the 90s.  Make sure to check out Amani's book, “The Quiet Storm,” for a deeper exploration into these stories. https://www.amazon.com/Quiet-Storm-Historical-Cultural-Analysis/dp/1734346620  0:00 Exploring The Cultural Impact Of 90s R&B Music 5:40 The Journey of Writing a Book on Black R&B Groups 8:08 Underrated R&B Groups and Their Impact on Music History 11:14 The Decline of R&B Groups and Media's Impact 18:51 90s R&B Groups and Their Lasting Impact 23:51 The Evolution and Challenges of Modern Boy Bands 24:24 The Rise and Fall of 90s R&B Groups 28:57 The Revival of R&B Tours and Nostalgia's Economic Impact 31:04 Imagining an 80s Supergroup with Luther Vandross and Others 35:02 Iconic 90s R&B Groups and Their Irreplaceable Lead Singers 40:38 Inspiration Behind Iconic Songs by Various Artists 45:17 Underrated Producers Who Shaped 90s Music 52:39 Artists Who Should Have Stayed With Their Groups 1:01:25 The Rise of Supergroups in Modern Music 1:09:31 Exploring Music Legends, Super Groups, and Iconic Songs 1:22:33 Music Industry Insights and Networking Opportunities   BRAND New Voicemail 314-649-3113 Join the I Only Listen to 90s Music Facebook Group http://bit.ly/3k0UEDe      Follow I Only Listen to 90s Music on IG https://bit.ly/3sbCphv       Follow SOLC Network online Instagram: https://bit.ly/39VL542                          Twitter: https://bit.ly/39aL395                          Facebook: https://bit.ly/3sQn7je                To Listen to the podcast Podbean https://bit.ly/3t7SDJH                      YouTube http://bit.ly/3ouZqJU                      Spotify http://spoti.fi/3pwZZnJ                     Apple http://apple.co/39rwjD1  IHeartRadio http://ihr.fm/2L0A2y

Miss Heard celebrates Season 7, Episode 342, where “The Sweetest Taboo” by Sade was released as the lead single from their 1985 album Promise, blending smooth soul with the sensual vibe of the “Quiet Storm” sound. In this episode, we explore how the song, co-written by Sade Adu and drummer Martin Ditcham, used inventive studio tricks like tapping bottles and glasses to create its distinctive rhythm while climbing to No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. We also dive into the song's sensual meaning, its rain-soaked music video filmed partly in Spain, and why this quiet-storm classic still feels timeless today.

Send a textA 308-pound prospect just clocked a 4.5 and we couldn't stop talking about it. That jaw-dropper kicks off a fast, funny ride through combine metrics, ten-yard splits, and what freakish athleticism says about training, leverage, and the stories men tell themselves about height, speed, and identity. From there, the barbershop energy takes over: who gets seen first at the club, why short kings win on timing and charm, and the unglamorous truth about backseat logistics and calf cramps.Then we crack open the vault. Childhood scents and number-three tubs. Dish soap bubble baths that itch for days. Strict house rules about curfews and never eating at someone else's table. It all sets the stage for the music canon: greatest remixes (Flavor In Ya Ear, Quiet Storm, Fiesta), best posse cuts, and a love letter to Southern hip‑hop's backbone—OutKast, Goodie Mob, UGK, So So Def, No Limit, and Cash Money. We make the case for Big Boi's underrated pen, dream of an OutKast Super Bowl in Atlanta, and admit that some albums never left rotation.Finally, we step into the arena where nobody agrees and everyone's right: the GOAT debate. Jay‑Z for longevity and blueprint-building. Eminem for surgical wordplay and sheer technicality. KRS‑One for foundational lyricism and live-fire mic control. The criteria—impact, consistency, quotables, innovation—change with every verse someone remembers by heart. We land the plane with weekend rituals: cord-cutting math, Apple TV thrillers, Prime sleepers, Netflix's latest, and a clutch snack rec that tastes like movie night should.Tap play for the jokes, stay for the arguments, and bring your list. Who's your GOAT, and which remix belongs in the hall of fame? If you laughed or yelled at your phone, hit follow, share with a friend, and drop a review—then tell us your pick in the comments.Thanks for listening to the Nobody's Talking Podcast.
