    Show notes

    On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Kee Avil!

    **Still on an unexpected hiatus but new episodes will be back very soon! This week, let's revisit YATTA's awesome episode before blasting "Palm Wine" to start the summer.**

    On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s YATTA! Even though we had to fight through some technical difficulties throughout, we had a great time talking about YATTA’s latest album, “Palm Wine” (one of the albums of the year), the Palm Wine genre, making music videos, and more. Once we get to the questions, we go long about theirr granduncle, S.E. Rogie, the undeniable magic of Brenda Fassie, moments when Kanye’s still got it, an unapologetic appreciation for “Sandstorm,” Whitney Houston, Sufjan Stevens, The Flamingos + plenty more!

    Episode 128

    Show notes

    Still on an unexpected hiatus but new episodes will be back very soon! This week, let's revisit this episode & then listen to Whitney’s trio album with Lia Kohl and Macie Stewart.

    On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Whitney Johnson! Whitney did something I’ve always dreamed about - releasing two different albums (under two separate names no less!) on the same day, and both of them are fabulous. We talk about that and some other sound projects before diving into all the sides of Sonny Sharrock, Prince’s all-time greatness, unrepentant love for ABBA, Psychic TV destroying us, the Steve Winwood hypetrain, and FINALLY someone’s favorite song is also my favorite song, so we had a moment at the end. Plus more, obviously!
