Total R&B Ep – 51 with Amani Roberts

podcast February 11, 2025


Background
share close

This week, Loreena spoke with DJ, author, entrepreneur, and music industry expert Amani Roberts to talk about his latest book, Quiet Storm: A Historical & Cultural Analysis of the Power, Passion, and Pain of R&B Groups.

For decades, R&B groups like The Temptations, Boyz II Men, TLC, and Destiny’s Child ruled the charts—until the mid-2000s, when they suddenly disappeared. Amani breaks down the perfect storm of industry shifts that led to this decline, from the rise of hip-hop to changes in technology and the music business.

We also dive into his journey as a DJ, educator, and the community he built on Twitch during the pandemic, his thoughts on where the genre is headed.
