On this episode of Lyric Lounge, we step into a night of grown soul, emotional depth, and songwriting that does not dodge the truth.

We’re joined by special guest Kenneth Crouch, who opens the conversation by digging into Stevie Wonder and the layered emotions of Taboo to Love. Tosha keeps the Stevie energy flowing with Joy Inside My Tears, then Teal closes it out with The Whispers and their timeless declaration, Lady.

This episode is about love in its many forms, complicated, honest, joyful, and sure of itself. The kind of conversation that lingers after the music fades.

This episode centers on songs that speak to right now. Music that meets 2025 where it actually is, complicated, heavy at times, but still full of possibility.

🎤 Ural selects Lady Gaga – “Abracadabra”
Sometimes the year isn’t what it’s supposed to be. Plans shift, expectations miss, and life doesn’t follow the script. This song is about making your own magic, anyway, choosing transformation even when the moment feels off.

🎤 Teal selects Jack Herrera – “Say You Got a Man”
When your reality feels like a tariff, and all you’ve got is one good moment in time, you learn how to stretch it. In 2025, sometimes you have to make that one moment feel like a whole good year. This song lives in that space between memory, truth, and emotional honesty.

🎤 Tosha selects Joss Stone – “Bruised but Not Broken”
A reminder that resilience doesn’t mean untouched. It means still standing, still soft, still choosing to move forward even with the marks life leaves behind.

This is Lyric Lounge connecting lyrics to life as it’s being lived right now.
