This weeks’ episode of @switchedonpop.bsky.social on Timbaland is extremely my shit. I’ve always said that Aaliyah was ahead of her time and doing what the other girlies weren’t and that’s thanks to Timb’s beats
A great new @switchedonpop.bsky.social episode! Also, thanks to the song ‘Umbrella’, friends, how many syllables do you use to say the word Umbrella? 🤣☂️
Highly recommend @switchedonpop.bsky.social podcast if you’re curious about music history. This episode >>>

Really enjoyed this podcast as the @switchedonpop.bsky.social boys declare their jingle sucks and go about developing a new one. I actually learned some things about musical production; they made me LOL in real life; and the new jingle is cool. Kudos! podcasts.apple.com/cl/podcast/s...
