Last night there was so much love in the studio - especially having DJ YZO back in the studio to break a new record on Soul Conversations Radio show #317! On this episode, Derrick & RWEONTHEAIR?! did hour-long dj sets of vinyl + CDs only, (yes, that's right!) all while sharing some new music from 2 Soul artists. DJ YZO slid through to share the majestic new soul single "Tete de Lit (Headboard)" by Ivory Haze ft. Sophie Rose. This single was released on March 22nd, 2023 and the sultry smooth melodies will just sweep you away!! The song will make you feel like you are floating on a cloud & reminiscing on your favorite memories. Listen and fall in love with it yourself here: Tete de Lit (Headboard) - Ivory Haze Ft. Sophie Rose and be sure to follow and support Ivory Haze's music and brand on Instagram at: @IvoryHazeMusic | Linktree - ivoryhazemusic

We also spotlighted the very fly Brooklyn-based poet and singer/songwriter, Mel Chanté, and her current single "Magnificent". She is 100% correct about every word she recites in her poetry on self/women's empowerment and recognizing how special it is to share presence with one another. We're so excited for her forthcoming single release "One Day Real Soon" ft. Johnny Champagne releasing tomorrow, March 30th on all streaming platforms!
