Soul singer Aloe Blacc on music, fatherhood and standing up for what you believe in.

The soul singer Aloe Blacc joins Rev Kate Bottley and Jason Mohammad to talk about his new album 'All Love Everything', becoming a Dad and standing up for what you believe in.

Reverend Kate Bottley and Jason Mohammad present uplifting stories about life, love and modern spirituality, alongside a great soundtrack for your Sunday morning.

Their guest this week is Aloe Blacc. The 'I Need A Dollar' and 'Wake Me Up' soul singer talks to Kate and Jason as he releases his new album 'All Love Everything'. His first since becoming a father, Aloe talks the love for his family that drives his new record and how he's found life as a musician under Covid-19. Born in California to Panamanian immigrants, Aloe talks about the music that inspired him from salsa and merengue to Hip-Hop, folk and soul. And he discusses the causes that he's passionate about, from ending police violence in the US to supporting migrant and low-wage workers. 

Plus BAFTA-winning writer, film-maker and martial arts trainer Geoff Thompson shares his emotional story of forgiveness and redemption. He's a man that has lived many lives, after childhood abuse tipped him into an adulthood of violence and depression. He tells Kate and Jason how he became a best-selling writer, and a huge influence in martial arts, but more importantly, how he learned to heal, forgive and make peace with himself and his past.
