Today we roll out an idea that has been formulating for a while: The Vibe Cultivator After Dark. VC grew up listening to late night radio shows such as "The Sweat Hotel" hosted by R&B legend Keith Sweat. These radio shows provided the listeners with slow jams all night & seductive commentary in between the music to help set the mood for the night. VC is trying to restore that feeling with his own rendition of a late night radio show. Today's episode is based around the question "What is Love?". We have listeners calling in to give their answers to that questions in between the music selections. I hope you all enjoy & please give me feedback! Song titles & more information Below.
