On this week we are joined by one of the greatest R&B songwriters of our time Johnta Austin. The man is responsible for hits such as "Be Without You" by Mary J. Blige, "We Belong Together" by Mariah Carey and "Sweet Lady" by Tyrese. We talk to the prolific singer/songwriter about his new single "Love Angel" along with his upcoming album "Love, Sex & Religion" which is considered R&B's version of the "Detox" album as it has been on hold for over a decade now. We also talk to Johnta about the state of R&B and also highlight some of the best songwriters in the game including Stevie Wonder, R. Kelly and Babyface. We also talk about Elle Varner's upcoming EP and the disappointing sales from Daniel Caesar. We also try to figure out what is considered a single in 2019 compared to what we're used to from the 90's and 2000's.
