Happening slowly, and then all at once, arrangements were made for ‘90s pop icon Seal to drop in on MBE for a special guest DJ set. The artist geeks out with Novena and Anthony over his longstanding affection for MBE; “the coolest show, for the coolest people that were always in the know.”

He also shares the story of being asked by Joni Mitchell herself to perform “Both Sides Now,” the song he considers to be the greatest ever written. Plus, he opens up about his favorite cover of his song “Crazy” from young NYC native Zia Victoria, mouths along to 2017 UK novelty single “Man’s Not Hot,” by British comedian Michael Dapaah aka “Big Shaq,” and much much more. This is appointment listening.

And that’s not all that’s in store from this MBE. We’re also bringing you episode 28 of Global Beat: México curated by Junf, a stone cold Jimi Hendrix classic, and a brand new Madison Cunningham cut from the forthcoming, deluxe edition of her Grammy-winning album Revealer.
