The Original Doll with James Rodriguez: Britney Spears and more

Interludes get a bad rap, but on this album, they are the connective tissue for the story of janet.
Honoring every Janet Jackson song ever made.
Host: ⁠James Rodriguez

"Darren Hayes can take a cinematic image and use it to describe something so intimate..."
Host J⁠ames Rodriguez⁠

Know the importance of SODA POP by Britney Spears? This song changed the trajectory of her future debut album. Joined by her A&R Steve Lunt, who has given us a track by track of her songs from 1997 - 2005.
I’m ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠James Rodriguez ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and on my show, The Original Doll, I’m diving deep into the stories behind the music that shaped our lives. I’m not just talking about the hits...I’m sitting down with the songwriters, producers, and collaborators who were actually in the room when the magic happened. It’s all about giving these artists their flowers while they’re still here to receive them.

Sometimes... the greatest producers aren't the ones who simply know how to make a hit...sometimes they are the people who can hear a possibility that nobody else has heard yet.
Honoring William Orbit and Madonna's Drowned World/ Substitute For Love.
James Rodriguez honors iconic songs, one at a time, giving flowers to the artists, songs and albums that changed the world.

"When Darren sings, never, evermore....he is giving the listeners a feeling that this in fact, is the finale...the ending..." Host James Rodriguez
