Forever Relevant (The Psyce Rewinds to a Sit down w/ Jack Davey)
Remember that time in 2024 where one of the Psyce's musical superheroes came and sat down to chat? We are now bringing that audio to the big screen. Beyoncé never gave y'all them visuals, but this podcast sure will. GAG!!!!! Ms. Jack Davey, one half of the iconic J*Davey, is here to chat all things badass and biz, music biz that is. While letting the Psyce traipse about the groups' discography and talk about their fave songs from Slooow all the way to Queen of Wonderland down to Raincheck, and even her solo song Undone, the cast was let in on so many secrets and stories never told about the music. Being mancrazy, being different, being horny without being crass, being inspired, being a musical child of the legendary Prince... This episode was such a good time, so much so that we wanted the people to actually SEE IT. From independent icons to mainstream misfits, J*Davey spoke to an entire segment of the podcast's life and moreover birthed an onslaught of talent that we know and love still today. Inspiring acts like The Internet and always uplifting fellow superstars from their era of onset into the industry like Janelle Monae, Jack Davey and Brooke D'Leau will forever be honored in the industry for their contributions and what they still do. Steph + Muse's musical maturation into adulthood is still smiling from this interview.Now, Muse's Pre- Ordered Vinyl of their double sided debut, The Beauty in Distortion/The Land of the Lost should finally be in the mail, so to commemorate, here is the Visual premiere of episode 115. This One is for the Groupchat (w/ Jack Davey)Like//Comment//SubscribeFollow the Psyce everywhere@thepsycepodcast

I'm Just A Girl
Ebony was right, we just came to dance for y'all, that's all. Listen to your fave music nerds, Steph + Muse, as they deep dive into the joy of the pop/dance genre from an R&B lens. This episode is an exploration into this summer's R&B darlings' foray into the Pop and Dance genres. So many of today's hottest girls in Black music are elaborating on their own sounds and going for something a bit more FUN. Artists like Tinashe, Chxrry22, Amaarae, and even Jai'len Josey are presenting heart rate inducing anthems for the clubs. WE LOVE THAT!

Nobody's Michael
Much like US, the rest of the world is trapped under what the people are now calling MICHOSIS. Steph can currently be seen at a theater near you, seeing the Michael Movie for the umpteenth time. The Legend that is Mike Jack will never be recreated and even though we have Beyoncé, this film release has shown that nothing will ever compare. Sorry Drake, Sorry Chris Breezy... Speaking of... Edit them damn albums down a bit! Muse has unearthed his famous truncation of Chris Brown's behemoth of an album and the facebook Aunts and Guncles can stay mad. Much has happened since our last episode so clock in. The docket is FULL!!!!!! Follow us everywhere @thepsycepodcast.
