Description

Ahoy! Frizz and Bob hop aboard the smoothest ship on the sea and pour two fittingly fancy drinks - Frizz with a whisky of the waves, Johnnie Walker Swing, and Bob with Kavalan's Concertmaster Port Cask Finish. Grab your captain's hat as we set sail into the breezy, deceptively deep world of yacht rock, with its velvety vocals, jazzy chords, and more emotional vulnerability than you'd expect from a genre famous for boat shoes and white linen pants. Don't let the smooth grooves fool you. Behind the luxury lies a rich history of studio perfectionism, unexpected cultural crossover, and musical roots that run straight through the heart of Black American traditions. We rave about the underrated bangers, the comedians who coined the term "yacht rock," and how this silky soft-rock sound found a strong second wind in the 21st century.
