blacc

Today I’m joined by Aloe Blacc, the chart-topping, Grammy nominated recording artist and singer-songwriter who has worked with an eclectic range of artists, from the late Avicii to David Guetta and more. His international hits include the amazing “I Need a Dollar” and “Wake Me Up”. In October 2020, he released the album All Love Everything and has recently released the deluxe version which includes three additional tracks - how lucky are we?!

In this episode, we discuss how lockdown was the most time he’s spent at home since his kids were born and how it’s taught him to really appreciate precious moments with his family. We chat about how the essence of his new album was perfect for 2020 as it’s all about the importance of family and love. One of the things Aloe is incredibly passionate about in this interview is using his voice for positive social change. He wants to use his lyrics, platform and visibility for good which just makes me love him even more.

I encourage you all to go and listen to his All Love Everything - I’ve had it on repeat and love it even more each time!

Between the VMA's and Yom Kippur, we've got our own version of the high holidays here at Pop Rocket: The SUMMER JAMS episode! We will anoint OR NOT anoint the title of Song of the Summer to the most banging artist of the past few months. And yes, the band is back together again. The full panel - Guy Branum, Karen Tongson, Wynter Mitchell (don't forget) Rohrbaugh, and Margaret Wappler - put on their Grammy judge hats and measure up the best cuts from music makers this past season.

What criteria make a tune a summertime anthem? Is it the dance beat? The song's ubiquity? The convertible factor? A dark city feeling? Does the magic of Cardi B's "I Like It" rest solely on its sample of Peter Rodriquez's I Like It Like That? Is Zedd, Marren Morris, Grey's "The Middle" too much negotiation and not enough sex, love, and urgency? Find out which song made Silas get down like no one was watching and which panelist has a knack for converting jams into pet cat lullabies. Shout outs also go to honorable mentions and listeners' suggestions that didn't quite make the cut.

All Abouts

Margaret is all about Mandy Moore's newly remodeled mid-century modern home in Pasadena.

Wynter is all about TV writer and producer Linda Bloodworth Thomason's op-ed in The Hollywood Reporter where she channels a glowing fury and details the misogynistic bullying she faced from disgraced former CBS CEO Les Moonves. Les Moonves, Go fuck yourself!

Karen is all about the post-BBC reboot of The Great British Baking Show.

Guy is all about Cynthia Nixon's appearance at the old school, crusty Brooklyn gay bar The Metropolitan before the New York Governor Primary.

With Guy Branum, Karen Tongson, Wynter Mitchell-Rohrbaugh, and Margaret Wappler.

En svensk housepop-dänga kan göra all skillnad. Fråga bara Aloe Blacc, som redan på 00-talet genomgick en metamorfos. Från indie-rappare (i Emanon) till soulsångare som drömde om en känsla som låg nära medborgarrättskampen. Idag säger Aloe att han sjunger på genrernas begravning. I timme två en sångare som representerar 10-talets nya våg; Miguel.

In 2010, Egbert Nathaniel Dawkins III, also known as Aloe Blacc, released his second album, Good Things, on Stones Throw records. The album was produced by Jeff Dynamite and Leon Michels for Truth and Soul Productions (El Michels Affair, Bronx River Parkway, Lee Fields, etc.). It's also the year that the American soul singer, rapper and musician exploded worldwide with I Need A Dollar, the opening title track on the HBO series, How To Make It In America. Aloe Blacc's career had started at the end of the 90s, with Emanon, a hip hop duo with producer Exile, and features countless appearances and collaborations. Paris DJs honcho Djouls tried to scan the whole spectrum of his career for this selection (months in the making), presented here in collaboration with Stones Throw Records (thanks Alex!).
