Episode 188
Coming up in Episode 188, Aaron introduces Brent to a Dallas-based duo with music that is a throwback to 80s dance anthems filled with synth wave and power vocals while Brent highlights a Brooklyn-born singer who signed to a development deal with Atlantic Records at just 16 years old.
Growing up in the same Fort Worth neighborhood as kids but not realizing it until years later, Aaron spotlights three songs from the “retropop” group PRIZM.
Initially starting out as a 1980s teen idol before reinventing herself on the theatrical stage by starring in 17 musicals in 17 years, Brent picks out three songs from the career of Debbie Gibson.
