Toussaint Davy: D'Angelo, Brown Sugar Album Cover

Saison 2 · Épisode 4

mercredi 14 octobre 2026 • Durée 42:25

Today marks one year since the passing of D’Angelo, a generational artist whose music continues to resonate.

In his memory, this week’s episode revisits the cover of his 1995 debut album, Brown Sugar. I’m joined by Toussaint Davy, former deputy editor of Touch Magazine, for a closer look at the image’s intimacy and the quiet cool it evokes. We discuss how the cover departed from the ways Black male musicians were visually marketed at the time, before placing it in conversation with the rest of D’Angelo’s album artwork.

Mazzi Odu: Diana Ross, Diana Album Cover

Saison 2 · Épisode 2

jeudi 9 juillet 2026 • Durée 51:03

This week, I sit down with writer, editor, and cultural consultant Mazzi Odu to unpack the cover for Diana Ross' 1980 album, Diana. It’s an image that captured a turning point in both Diana’s personal and professional life.

We break down the cover's visual language: the lowercase mononym typeface, the confident, unsmiling gaze, the wet-slicked hair standing in for her signature curls, and the borrowed jeans. Along the way, we get into the album's deep ties to disco and queer culture, and how this single image became a blueprint, echoed decades later by Whitney Houston, Beyoncé, and Taraji P. Henson.
