Stacy Barthe • R&B MONEY Podcast • Ep.103

The Authority On All Things R&B !
On this week's episode of The R&B Money Podcast, Tank and J Valentine welcome the immensely talented and soulful singer-songwriter Stacy Barthe. In this deeply personal conversation, Stacy opens up about her inspiring journey from humble beginnings in Brooklyn to becoming one of the most sought-after writers in the music industry. She shares intimate stories behind some of her biggest hits for artists like Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry and Beyoncé, and reflects on how she poured her own struggles and triumphs into the lyrics.
Stacy also discusses the challenges of being a woman in the male-dominated music business, the importance of having a strong support system, and how her faith has guided her through difficult times. Tank and J Valentine engage in a heartfelt dialogue with Stacy about artistry, authenticity and the power of music to heal and uplift.

Tank & J Valentine, thank you for this podcast. It’s hilarious, while also being informative. The love and affirmations and giving of flowers on each episode is just beautiful. This is THEE podcast that I look for first, in my notifications. Also, Tank’s “Top 5” & “I ain’t sayin no names” are so damn catchy that I catch myself singing that ish in Erewhon making the wypipo uncomfortable lol. Congrats on the success of this podcast and I hope that you all can keep it going and turn this into an entire media enterprise where we can see movies about J Valentine’s life story and many other creative ideas that you guys own totally.

Stacy Barthe is one of my fav artists/writers!! Her music and lyrics cut so deep! I really wish she realized that she’s great, I think she knows as a writer she’s dope but her music, I don’t think she knows how loved she is! Her voice really has a healing tone that has gotten me thru some tough times. I’ve been waiting on a new album forever, I hope it’s finally coming! 🤞🏾

[@BlackGirlInADoggoneWorld]

I was WAY TOO EXCITED to point at my television during Season 1, Episode 6, of "Brandy and Ray J: A Family Business." I didn't know who this lady was back in 2010, but I screeched "That's her!" just now. "R&B Money" is such a history lesson for those out-of-the-know.
