Welcome to Popp on All Access, the podcast where we do even more over analyzing of all your

This is your host, DJ Louis XIV.

Thank you all so much for being subscribers.

I am here with my King of Pop, Russ Martin.

Russ.

Good morning.

Good morning, Louie. You are hinting at the fact that over the weekend there was a Michael Jackson biopic, which made a whole boatload of money. We're going to

talk a little bit about that. We're also going to talk about Kalani's self-titled album, which also

came out over the weekend to do both.

We have here with us, journalist Maya Abraham.

Maya, welcome to the show.

Thank you for having me.

I love when I get talked about R&B in this way, so I'm honored to be here.

Great.

Yeah, we're talking about R&B past, R&B present, R&B parentheses, positive, R&B

parentheses, complicated, maybe. We're really running the gamut here. There's a lot of

angles at which we can talk about the history of this genre today.
