Is R&B Emasculating? | BONUS CLIP

2022 was arguably one of the most significant years in music. The legends came back in such a major way, we just had to come back on here and discuss it all. The G.O.A.T. Beyonce came back with her historic project RENAISSANCE. This album was the first major project of the year that came in and made an impact. Beyonce took a village and created a body of work that presented a culture that is not often represented on a large level. Rihanna was named the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime performer. As a known hitmaker, Rihanna is a great choice due to her multi-genre discography and generational songs. Taylor Swift came back with her 10th studio album, Midnights. As a Taylor Swift fan, we had to get into what this says for her career. Taylor has been able to sustain a level of acclaim and success for the past 16 years, which is an incredible accomplishment. We close the show by discussing the 2023 Grammy Nominations. With Adele, Beyonce, Harry Styles, Lizzo, and Bad Bunny being nominated for major awards, we had to discuss our predictions. Overall, 2022 was an iconic year for music and the impact was insane!

And just like that, I am back with a new episode to wrap up 2021 and Season 1 of Miles Muse. Here I give you all some life updates as to where I've been and why there was a hiatus. I mainly talk about the biggest moments in music this past year and where I see Miles Muse going. As always I thank you all for listening and allowing me to be a part of your love for music. That's a wrap on Season 1!  *(Quick Disclaimer: I made the mistake in saying Red (Taylor's Version) solver over a million copies within 5 days when it actually sold over half a million copies in 5 days) 

We are finally discussing singing! What it means to be a vocalist! I am so excited that one of my good friends (and great singer) Marlene Kabeya is here with me to discuss singing, who are the best singers of all time, and what it means to be a vocalist. 

We finally have the conversation about the Queen of Rap, Nicki Minaj. I am joined again by my good friend Trevis and we discuss everything Nicki. Our relationship with her as fans, her evolution from her mixtape days to international superstardom, her iconic music moments, and her legacy. The episode has been a long time coming so put your pink wigs on and let's go! 

We are going to throw it back ALL THE WAY to the "Why We Love R&B" episode. Here is a clip that didn't make the episode discussing why some guys aren't prideful about their love for R&B like they are about Rap. 

I am joined by singer/songwriter Siobhan Monique and talk about Finding Your Gift. Diving into how artists get into their personal spaces to find their creativity and individual talents. And how to express that to the world.

What exactly is the purpose of an artist in this world? I am joined by brother/sister fronted alternative band, Blooming Fire. We have a very interesting conversation about the meaning of creatives in our world. Then we talk about all things regarding sustainability and how the music industry can be more Earth-conscious. 

We are going to dive into the careers and iconic Black Women in the music industry. The journey they have in the music industry. And most importantly, the impact they have.

Today, I am joined by singer/songwriter Alonzo and we discussed being up and coming and Black in the music industry. Discussing how to start your career in music, the journey you have to find your voice, and how does being Black in music affect your experience. 

Today, Eric and I will be discussing Musical Nostalgia. Diving into the greatness that is the music of the 90s and the early 2000s. The impact that time in music had on the industry. And why we constantly referenced this time period.
