In My Element Radio with Robert Glasper

If at any time you wished you knew more about the inner workings of pianist and composer Robert Glasper, his Apple Music radio show In My Element is your justice. “The show gives me the platform to keep people in the loop of what’s happening, and it’s always new things, surprise things,” Glasper says. “It’s just kind of giving people a play-by-play of my life in that moment.” To record In My Element, Glasper is taking time out of the impossibly busy performing schedule that is his month-long “Robtober” residency at the Blue Note jazz club in NYC. That now five-year-old engagement has featured guests long revered in their respective lanes, names like Black Thought, Norah Jones, and Meshell Ndegeocello, some of whom Glasper hopes will be able to stop by for an episode. “I do so many things and there’s so much to talk about between all the different gigs that I play and different places I got to be and different projects I’m working on,” Glasper says. “A lot of people just want insight into that world, what it’s like to be Robert Glasper.”

  • “Throughout my life music has meant a great deal to me,” His Majesty King Charles III says. “I know that is also the case for so many others. But it has that remarkable ability to bring happy memories flooding back from the deepest recesses of our memory, to comfort us in times of sadness and take us to distant places. But perhaps above all, it can lift our spirits to such a degree. All the more so when it brings us together in celebration. In other words, it brings us joy.” The King’s Music Room—exclusively on Apple Music—is where you can explore this relationship further. From his desk in his office at Buckingham Palace, His Majesty reveals a selection of his favourite songs—featuring artists stretching from crooners to Afrobeats stars, via disco divas and reggae icons.
