Note: This episode was recorded in October and released a little later than expected — thanks for your patience.

In this soulful and reflective episode of Messy Truths, Mar, Nesha, and Azar come together to honor the legendary voices we've lost over the past couple of years—musicians whose music shaped generations and shifted culture.

Nesha opens the tribute by remembering the legendary singer and pianist, Roberta Flack, celebrating her timeless voice and the vulnerability she brought to every note.

This episode was sparked by the heartbreaking passing of D’Angelo. The trio dives deep into the legacy he leaves behind and the seismic influence he had on Neosoul, R&B, and the culture at large. Naturally, the conversation also turns to the incomparable Angie Stone, whose imprint on music remains undeniable.

Together, the hosts pay homage to other musical giants we’ve lost, including malletKat Pro vibraphone master Roy Ayers, visionary producer and composer Quincy Jones, and D’Wayne Wiggins, co-founding member of Tony! Toni! Toné!, whose artistry helped define the R&B sound of Oakland, California and beyond the Bay Area.

Join us as we reflect on the artists whose music raised and moved us.
