Music tastes, like most tastes, change over time. Still, when people think about the music they love, they often forget the path they took to their current favorite artists, genres, and songs. What kind of music did you listen to when you were a child, for example, and your ears were at the mercy of your parents’ radio?
Nneka and Chinyere take some time to discuss the evolution of their personal music tastes. Going from early childhood to the present day, they reflect on the music their parents listened to growing up, the influences of their churches, artists they’ve fallen in and out of love with, and how they discovered music in different languages.
