Uh oh...Steve's been left home alone! (Insert Macaulay Culkin Gif here)

To make up for a singular host, we're bringing you double the vocals as we dive in to some of the most iconic duets in Neo Soul history, featuring nothing but the biggest names in the game. D'Angelo, Jill Scott, Angie Stone, Jaheim, Lauryn Hill...they're all here in a second-hour-celebration of classic collabs.

We also look back on the origins of 'Blue Eyed Soul' with one of the most unconventional Root Artist Selections yet - Bobby Caldwell. Hitmaker of legendary soul classics such as 'What You Wont Do For Love' and 'Open Your Eyes', we look back on his 'racially ambiguous' beginnings through to his status as one of the most covered and sampled artists in RnB and Hiphop, with a Vine pick following directly in his 'white boy soul' footsteps.

All that plus an extensive Gig Rundown, some smooth new jams and a reflection on much missed 90s pioneer - Kenny Greene. (Warning: This episode contains a whole lot of Steve talking to himself. Weird? Yes. Endearing? Doubtful. Caution is advised.)

Featuring music from Yakul, EDBL, Phil Beaudreau, Shannon Lauren Callihan, Austin Antoine, Kadeem Tyrell, Intro, Sidibe, MonoNeon, Glenn Lewis, Amel Larrieux, Ledisi, Jaheim, Prince, Angie Stone, Jill Scott, Anthony Hamilton, Niia, Jazmine Sullivan, D'Angelo, Lauryn Hill and D-Fola.
