19. The Sounds of '97 - Exploring a Year in Flux
The time has finally come! The Roots and the Vine Time Machine is getting a long overdue dust-off (and a brand spanking new intro) as we take it back to the golden days of 1997! A formative childhood/tween year for both of us, we're diving deep in to the culture and sounds of the era - looking in to what shaped the music of the time, as well as the changes we began to see in the musical landscape that would define the decades to come. From the dawning of hiphop and RnB's unholy commercial alliance in the chart-dominating hits of Puffy and Mariah to the adult orientated RnB of En Vogue and Jon B. We also see the early solidifying of the neo soul movement as the industry pivots to a 'post-D'angelo' world and the emergence of bold, new sounds as diverse as Erykah Badu and Timbaland.
Also on the show, we salute the gloved wonder himself Michael Jackson in our Root selection, highlight an overlooked gem from the early 00s golden period, and shine a light on the landslide of new soul and RnB album releases - including long awaited hiphop comebacks from Kendrick and Black Star!
Featuring music from Sam Wills, Myron, Reuben James, Nao, Fika, 702, Chico DeBarge and Allysha Joy
