Ep 867 : Corey Glover singer, songwriter of Living Colour 20.07.2026 34мин

Today on a brand new episode of Let There Be Talk, I've got one of the greatest voices in rock music joining me—the one and only Corey Glover. From the moment Living Colour exploded onto the scene with Vivid, Corey helped redefine what heavy music could be. Songs like "Cult of Personality," "Open Letter (To a Landlord)," and "Love Rears Its Ugly Head" weren't just incredible records—they changed the conversation. For nearly four decades, Living Colour has blended hard rock, funk, soul, jazz, and fearless social commentary into a sound that's completely their own. Corey has also built an incredible career outside the band, from solo records to acting, collaborations, and countless unforgettable performances. And now he's part of an exciting new project, ONE TRIBE NATION, an all-star collective that's paying tribute to the music that shaped them. Their latest release is a powerful live version of the Black Sabbath classic "The Wizard," with Corey delivering a vocal performance that reminds you exactly why he's one of the finest frontmen in rock. Today we dive into the legacy of Living Colour, the band's influence on generations of musicians, the creative spark behind ONE TRIBE NATION, what it means to reinterpret a Black Sabbath classic, and why Corey is still pushing himself creatively after all these years. Turn it up, spread the word, and please enjoy my conversation with the incredible Corey Glover.
