“Heaven And Hell”

It’s a Song of the Week! I am so excited to present to you this brand new music-centered feature on the show. Last year we had a blast (my word) listening to 300 albums and discussing them together. Ever since I have known that we were going to get back to holding space to talk specifically about music on the pod, regularly. And just about a year after we started that massive undertaking, the time is now!! So instead of album after album, we’re going to talk about ONE SONG AT A TIME. - This week’s THIRTIETH installment song is from Artist: William Onyeabor And is called “Heaven And Hell.” It’s from his first studio album and ALSO a famed compilation of his work, respectively called: Crashes In Love and Who Is William Onyeabor? You can listen to the adorably animated compilation album version of the song, released by David Byrne’s Luaka Bop label, here: https://youtu.be/gQFmsvPo6BQ?s... And multiple artists took the song live (after Onyeabor removed himself from public life) in a performance here (at 35:34, check the vid description for the chapter link): https://youtu.be/QFr5Zw4JPnA?s... Listen to the entire album! He was such a talent. And you can almost always grab a preview on my IG @whereschloe; it’s up on the profile. - There is no hierarchy; these songs are going to be in basically a random order, chosen for reasons that I’ll most likely expound upon within the episode. Along with an array of background, inspirations, time frame, album order, cultural context, related themes, personal experiences, etc. Any genre artist decade that I would listen to is up for grabs and who’s to know what will be next and why? ;) Remember your favorites. Discover something new. One song of the week at a time for however long works. I’m ELATED that you’re along for the ride, C
