We’re very excited to announce Café Suede, a collaboration between Café Soul by @theairplanemode.tv, a daytime coffee & R&B social, and @suede_nyc, your favorite vinyl R&B experience every Tuesday.

On Saturday, May 30 from 2–6pm at @publicrecordsnyc we’re bringing the social joyful experience of Café Soul together with Suede’s deep love for R&B and music culture.

Expect coffee, espresso martinis, and the best community. On the patio, we’ll have dedicated spaces for conversation and music curated by @moochie and @djsvpply. Upstairs, we’ll have a vinyl room for those who want to slow down a bit: a space to connect, relax, and sit with music handpicked by the deep cut connoisseur @nyerah.

Tickets in bio! Already over 50% gone so get them now! 🚂 ✈️

Had the best time DJing for @sirdavis and sipping on whiskey lemonades to celebrate ten years of Beyoncés sixth solo album 🍋

If you’ve been to my sets you know I did not need to do much prep for this one 😅. Also got to run some west coast line dances just for kicks. Shoutout to an amazing crowd that turned out for this one and the top notch team that put it together!

Any excuse to talk about the Neptunes first official production credit.. sampled on Kendrick’s “heart pt. 6”.

“Use Your Heart” was the second single from SWVs sophomore album New Beginning. It was originally written with Tammy Lucas when Pharrell, Chad and Lucas were signed to Teddy Riley. That more stripped-back demo version is included in this post.

In an interview with Halftime Chat (shoutout to the underrated interview legend Nnamdi E.S. Okoye), Tammy Lucas talks about how the classic Neptunes sound wasn’t quite established yet at that point. She suggests that some of their earliest productions were more catered to her style and direction and she seems torn between frustration at being left behind and happiness for their massive success after that early period working together. At one point in his Drink Champs interview, Pharrell shouts out Tammy Lucas, saying that she was the reason Teddy Riley ever really paid attention to the Neptunes.

The SWV version samples a quick guitar line from BT Express - “If It Don’t Turn You On (You Oughta Leave It Alone)”. Also, although it’s uncredited and I can’t find a way to independently confirm, the song apparently features some background vocals by singer Joe who had a successful album out but was a few years from really breaking through on the mainstream charts with his next two albums (you can hear those backgrounds around the 3:48 mark).

Today is the 25th Anniversary of Donell Jones’s R&B masterwork, Where I Wanna Be, an album that he said he wrote with the intention that every song could be a single. 25 years later it still makes it’s way onto most R&B best albums lists.

Donell Jones got the opportunity to release his first album, My Heart, after he penned a hit for Usher in 1994 with “Think Of You”. That debut album is a classic to fans but Jones didn’t feel like it got the push it needed to go gold or platinum.

He took his time writing and releasing Where I Wanna Be, waiting three years to ensure that it would not be outshined by the other top-notch talent on LaFace at the time. In that between time he also wrote a hit for 702 with “Get It Together”. On this second album, Jones drew influences from legends like Curtis Mayfield and Donny Hathaway and put together an album that was reflective, honest and PACKED with album cuts that could have been singles.

As is the case with many albums at that time, the first single was actually the last song recorded for the album, “You Know What’s Up”, which remains his biggest hit to this day. The album was more ballad oriented and Jones’s collaborator, DJ Eddie Ferrell, would have known the importance of including a club song. That was followed by another monster hit, “Where I Wanna Be”, which explored, in no uncertain terms, the distance he was starting to feel between him and his then-girlfriend. They were still together when that song was released..

Original vinyl copies of the album are very difficult to find and go for upwards of $200, but the singles are a bit easier to round up and a second release of “Where I Wanna Be” in 2000 has “This Luv” on the B-Side.
