“At the time Blackout dropped, it sounded like it came from the future—a dystopian and warped future, but nevertheless interesting. Pop radio had remained steeped in the pop-R&B influences that had also driven Spears’ music until then: The top songs of the year were Beyoncé’s “Irreplaceable” and Rihanna’s “Umbrella,” both beautifully sung grooves. Blackout offered crunchy beats that sounded like they were coming from a broken computer, classic dubstep wobbler effects, and Spears’ voice intentionally distorted in every way possible. Whether Spears could sing didn’t matter; her producers played her like an instrument.” “That’s one of the more practical reasons that the opening line of the first song, “Gimme More,” is brilliant: “It’s Britney, bitch.” Instantly quotable, yes, but also a mere disclaimer—yes, this is actually Britney Spears. She is present and accounted for before her recognizable breathiness morphs seamlessly into a bass-toned, male sounding gurgle, then into a chorus of Britneys and back again during the repetitive chorus of the song.” —Jennifer Armstrong, Billboard (2017) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/redroomradio/message

Happy International Women's Day! And, Happy Women's History Month! We owe Britney Spears more than we know. As today’s It-girls usher in a resurgence of late 90’s and Y2K trends, it’s best to remember that Britney did it first. Giving credit where credit’s due, Spears served as a catalyst for the majority of these throwback style references—she drew the map. There’s much to be said of the early-aughts tastemaker, but throughout the height of her immense fame, the pop princess spearheaded many of the nostalgic fashions we covet today. — Hannah Militano, Grazia (2022) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/redroomradio/message

S1 final episode, S2 coming 2024. As I enjoy Pink Friday 2 in solitude, I would like to share this message from the Queen of Rap. “I just want to make great music. Simply for the sake of creating great music. What’s wrong with that? Music that ppl will always remember b/c of that incredible feeling they had the very first time they heard it. Music that makes them feel happy, confident, hopeful…sad, introspective, nostalgic. Music that expresses their thoughts on relationships at a time where ppl are so afraid to fall in love b/c they have to protect their hearts from being embarrassed on Facebook… Music that reminds you that a lot of ppl you rlly look up to were born with nothing; so they can relate to you a lot more than you think…reminds you that for the most part, we are all having the same experience in diff ways on diff days for different lengths of time. Fear/apprehension is normal, reminds us we are alive & that we want to live. Gut feelings are real. The spirit of discernment is so important as it relates to business choices, wealth & prosperity, yet is often overlooked or downplayed & rarely ever discussed.” -Nicki Minaj --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/redroomradio/message

“Fans of Sam Cooke were revolted against Bobby and Barbara, and Bobby Womack’s career was at a standstill for years. Sam had discovered and helped Bobby and his brothers get a recording deal.
