Today’s Artist
Jodeci 1989-
You're forever my lady,
forever my love, forever my girl.
Jodeci brought hip-hop fashion to R&B with Timberlands, baggy jeans, and baseball caps. K-Ci and JoJo's voices blended with Devante and Mr. Dalvin's production to make sex and heartbreak sound raw and real. They changed what an R&B group looked like and sounded like, opening the door for the rougher-edged R&B that dominated the 90s. More on Jodeci →

Fingertips 0:30 is a child demanding to be heard. Nothing more than that call-and-response impulse ... the simplest word repeated until the whole room catches it. The chant becomes a declaration: I am here, I exist, and you will know it.

Every repetition carries the joy of being seen. A young voice finding its power through persistence. Before he knew what he was doing, he learned how to command a room with just one word.

Being With You
I want to be with you
There's no place I'd rather be
Album art
Smokey Robinson

Being with her is the only place he wants to be. Not complicated. Not dramatic. A simple truth he keeps repeating. Some people complicate love. He strips it down. No place he would rather be than right next to her.

Be Without You
Chemistry was crazy from the get-go
Neither one of us knew why
Chemistry was crazy from the start. Neither knew why. They built it slow. People swore it was a phase. Now everybody sees they made it work. True love takes time and they put it in. She needs him like air to breathe.

You’re Kidding, Right
The Pointer Sisters won a Grammy for Best Country Vocal Performance in 1975 for "Fairytale." A Black female group from Oakland winning in a white-dominated country category? Nobody saw that coming. Black women winning a country Grammy in the 70s was almost unheard of. The Pointer Sisters didn't care about genre boundaries. They just made good music and let the Grammys figure it out.
Soul in the Movies
The Commitments 1991
The Commitments The Commitments is Alan Parker's 1991 adaptation of Roddy Doyle's novel about a Dublin soul band that's terrible, magnificent, and temporary. The cast learned their instruments for real. Andrew Strong's voice, at sixteen, sounds like Otis Redding reincarnated. 'Mustang Sally' is the moment the band stops being a joke and becomes something real. Mustang Sally. The Dubliners could play.

Why We're Here
Most of us grew up with free radio. Then corporations took over the playlist. Then we found Spotify and YouTube -- until the algorithm quietly decided what we liked, and suddenly we were stuck on repeat again. There's so much music out there, and only so much time to hear it.
At HotSupper, we just want to open things up a little. Maybe you'll stumble on an artist you've never heard of. Maybe you'll rediscover a song you'd completely forgotten. Maybe you'll just tap your toes. Either way, it's yours to explore. And if you have ideas to make this place better, we're all ears.
