S14 Ep27: Brandy’s New Memoir, Michael Stipe Solo Album & James Hetfield Gets Engaged!

Kelly and Sharon kick things off by appreciating the simple luxury of electricity after a major wind storm left Kelly without power for nearly 28 hours. Needless to say, Kelly's a little tired, slightly delusional and still warming up, which makes for a fun start to the show!   They then dive into their 90’s Playlist Pick of the Week with Kelly throwing it back to Kris Kross while Sharon highlights a standout track from George Michael. They also bring you an update on the long-awaited solo album from R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe, including what’s been causing the delay and what fans can expect.   Brandy is set to release her new memoir "Phases" on March 31st and early reviews are already generating strong buzz. Kelly and Sharon discuss the book’s focus on both the highs and lows of her life and why her story resonates with fans around the world. They also react to Brandy’s recent boxing training videos, which sparks a hilarious conversation about their own experiences recovering from broken ribs. Plus, a shoutout to Metallica’s James Hetfield, who recently got engaged in a unique and memorable way - involving snorkels!   The episode wraps up with Kelly’s Trivia and Sharon’s 1990 Rewind, taking you back to the start of the decade. Thanks for listening to 90’s NOW!
