This time on One Song Diallo Riddle and LUXXURY not only tackle a song that, arguably, possesses the ultimate accolade: It is Dialloâs favorite song to sing at karaoke. âHead Over Heelsâ by Tears for Fears is not the British synth pop groupâs biggest hit â that would be âMad Worldâ, âSowing the Seeds of Loveâ, or âShoutâ â but Diallo makes a strong case for why thereâs no better song to belt out at 2am in a karaoke booth. Join the guys as they break open the stems and walk through the songâs unforgettable melody and haunting lyrics in a special episode that was shot in the Hartbeat podcast studio after a sustainable makeover.
As part of the makeover, soy-based products were used, including chairs upholstered with the soy-based material produced by Modern Meadow, wall mounted photographs printed with soy-based ink, and upcycling a drum into a coffee table with wood supplied by HempWood, which contains soy-based resin.
This episode was produced with the support of U.S. Soy.

Back in the late 80s gangsta rap was booming. But three kids from Long Island emerged to spread a message of peace, love, and unity. Those three kids -- Posdnuos, Maseo, and Trugoy the Dove -- were De La Soul and together they broadened the perception of hip hop: They made it funny, weird, and psychedelic. This time on One Song, Diallo Riddle and LUXXURY break down âBuddyâ from De La Soulâs seminal album Three Feet High and Rising.

You love this song. But the band who wrote it? They hate it. And in many ways, thatâs entirely appropriate. Because on this episode of One Song Diallo Riddle and LUXXURY are wading deep into a song that âs an ode to self-loathing, anxiety, obsession, neurosis, self-lacerating rage, and ⊠being kind of a creep.

Usually on One Song we focus on the music's cultural impact. But this time we're talking about the meteorological impact! When Rihanna's Umbrella topped the charts in the UK, it coincided with a period of heavy rain and flooding. The same thing happened in Romania and New Zealand. Coincidence, or did Rihanna's hit change the weather?
On this episode of One Song, Diallo Riddle and LUXXURY explore the song's backstory, delve into the stems, and get to the bottom of how Rihanna arrived as a global megastar and made it rain. Literally.

Bob Marleyâs music is everywhere. And, in a sense, so is Bob Marley: He was the subject of a recent biopic, there are murals painted of him around the world, and his poster is still common in college dorm rooms. But has that ubiquity taken away from his music? On this episode of One Song, youâll hear Bob Marleyâs Jamming like never before. LUXXURY has the stems, the interpolations, and the contrafacts; and Diallo Riddle has the Bob backstory and some hot takes on music biopics.

This is Part One: The early years of Daft Punk, their inspirations, and how they changed pop music with their triumphant Coachella performance in 2007.
