Love is in the air… or is it? In this thought-provoking episode of Melanin and Moonlight, hosts Tyrell and Vernon dissect the ever-growing commercialization of Valentine’s Day and how it shapes modern relationships, expectations, and even loneliness for singles.
The duo also celebrates a major milestone—Brandy Norwood’s 30th anniversary of her debut album—reflecting on her impact and the artistry of musicians who’ve stood the test of time. But the conversation takes a sharp turn as they examine the rise of transactional dating, questioning if it’s pushing men away from genuine connections and towards sex work instead.
And if that wasn’t enough, they wrap things up by breaking down Duolingo’s viral branding stunt—a funeral for their beloved owl—after the aftermath of Kendrick Lamar’s explosive Super Bowl performance.
