Season 3 Wrap Up! - MORE Listener Feedback & What's to Come

Season 3 · Episode 34

jeudi 18 janvier 2024 • Duration 01:38:39

In our FINAL episode of Season 3, Angie and Steffi answer additional listener feedback. We share the origins of our podcast theme song, tangential Whitney Houston / My Love is Your Love topics, posthumous albums, what’s the difference between an artist that is inspired by other artists and one that merely copies - and so much more!

We also tease what we will be covering next season - Season 4 will be our experimental diva album.

Because this is our final episode of the season, just wanted to say a huge thank you to all of our listeners that listened to us babble on about our favorite divas every week. It really means a lot that you take the time to support the pod in whatever way you do. We see you and appreciate you. And thanks so much for listening and loving the divas just as much as we do.

"My Love is Your Love" (1998): WHITNEY HOUSTON - Track by Track Review | Diva Discography {Part 2}

Season 3 · Episode 25

jeudi 9 novembre 2023 • Duration 01:13:32

In this episode, Angie and Steffi continue their review of Whitney Houston’s “My Love is Your Love” (1998) album. We are reviewing the album track by track. This is the second part of the album breakdown. The first five songs were discussed in part 1, and the era breakdown will take place in parts 3 and 4.

As we do in all of our Diva Discography episodes, part 1 (technically this is part 2) is an in-depth review and discussion of EVERY SINGLE TRACK of the album.

Because we - namely Steffi - are huge Whitney Houston stans, we are dividing our album breakdown into two separate episodes. Go back and listen to our thoughts on the first five songs in part 1.

Album Info: My Love Is Your Love is the fourth studio album by American singer Whitney Houston, released worldwide on November 17, 1998. It was Houston's first studio album in eight years, following I'm Your Baby Tonight (1990) although she had participated on three movie soundtracks during that period. My Love Is Your Love is composed of mid-tempo R&B, hip hop soul, pop and dance music, produced by musicians such as Rodney Jerkins, Soulshock & Karlin, Missy Elliott, Wyclef Jean, David Foster, Lauryn Hill, and Babyface.
