Welcome to a very special episode of An Album 2Day! Tune in this week as I discuss the reason behind creating the show, what I hope for the show’s future, and where I see it fitting in the music podcast/review/journalism world. I am excited to share with folks my vision for the show and the community I hope that it creates.
📀📀
Important mentions include:
- The 4 whys behind doing this: a love for music, elevating black artists across genre, supplying accessible information, and carving a future for myself in the music world
- While writing and reading certainly have their place, I think there is a really important nuance in spoken/oral discussion and that it creates possibility and preservation that written means do not always allow.
- Black people are at the foundation of MANY musical genres, it is time to discuss them.
- Ultimately, I hope to invite people to a new mode of music consumption and criticism. I want us to listen to music, not to respond or rank, but just to experience and understand. In a world of streaming and snippets, I want artists' work to be honored in its wholeness and as they intended it to be.

Thanks for listening and, as always, episodes are available on Spotify, Apple, IHeartRadio, and Buzzsprout. See you next week as we get back into the music!
