Why Make Music... Episode 054 – “The Sun Will Shine”
Optimism, AI innovation, and musical legacy—this week’s episode proves that creativity keeps shining even through life’s clouds.
Join host Willa May as she explores technology, triumph, and timeless soul on Why Make Music.
In Episode 54, Willa May opens with reflections on positivity and the Law of Attraction—how creative energy expands when we focus on growth instead of limits. She brings listeners behind the scenes at WDMN MEDIA, where ThinkTimm’s multi-platform vision continues to evolve. Expect uplifting updates from the Lower Level Collections archive and details on the upcoming release of If I Was Your Producer, Vol. 4, arriving October 24, 2025, with ten brand-new tracks inspired by last episode’s spontaneous brainstorming session.
Music and Technology: The conversation turns to the rise of Xania Monet, the AI-generated R&B artist who recently topped Billboard charts and signed a multimillion-dollar deal. Willa breaks down her viral success, industry reaction, and the ethical debates around AI in artistry—asking what it means for authenticity, ownership, and emotion in modern music.
Tribute: We honor the lives and intertwined legacies of Angie Stone and D’Angelo—two neo-soul pioneers who passed in 2025. Their artistry shaped a generation: Angie bridged hip-hop’s beginnings to soulful empowerment, while D’Angelo redefined R&B with Brown Sugar, Voodoo, and Black Messiah. Together they shared love, music, and a son, leaving behind a legacy that reminds us that true soul never fades.
Sports Spotlight: Willa celebrates the Las Vegas Aces on capturing their third WNBA title in four years, highlighting A’ja Wilson’s dominance and the league’s ongoing growth. She also covers the evolution of women’s basketball with new ventures like Unrivaled 3×3 and Project B—player-led leagues redefining opportunity, pay, and power for female athletes worldwide.
Creative Takeaway: Whether exploring AI’s potential, mourning icons, or cheering athletes, this episode circles back to one message—persistence, passion, and purpose keep art alive. From studio to court, sunshine follows those who stay in motion.
