Music Fo' Grown Fo'ks - How’s My New Year’s Eve Going?: Ask Abel Tesfaye

RSS Mobile

Music Fo' Grown Fo'ks is the rag-tag soul-sistah to my long running hit radio show (of the same name) that for 5 years traced the roots of today's soul through its history in emotionally complex music from Motown, Soul, R&B, Gospel, 60s C&W, Funk, Retro-Soul, Deep Crate, and love ballads, plus those songs you forgot you really wanted to hear on Friday afternoons on WKDU Philadelphia 91.7fm. Follow my tweets, look at my archive, email, or ask me.
I rap on nature of my relationship with my BFF Potato; I discuss the deep and moving experiences I have from Art, Film, and Yacht Rock. I give a heads-up on my-upcoming gigs, and I muse about my journey towards musical ecstasy.

How’s My New Year’s Eve Going?: Ask Abel Tesfaye

I finally cracked open the Weeknd’s final installment in his 2011 trilogy of albums about loneliness (among many, many other themes). Echoes of Silence is awesome, and it was the perfect way to end 2011. The year that the mixtape…er free albums were elevated to a near artform, and the year that Pop music saved my life.
