French soul and blues artist Tiwayo joins Preston Frazier on the Slang of Ages Podcast to discuss his acclaimed 2026 album, Outsider. Tiwayo shares how a two-year creative journey led him to Austin, Texas, where he teamed up with Black Pumas producer Adrián Quesada to craft an album rooted in classic soul, blues, and gospel.
In this conversation, Tiwayo discusses recording with an all-star band, collaborating with Doyle Bramhall II and Kendra Morris, and the deeply personal stories behind songs like “Daddy Was Born With The Blues,” a tribute to his late father, and “My House Is Your Home,” inspired by family life in the French countryside.
He also reflects on the lessons he learned by moving from a one-man-band approach to a truly collaborative recording process, his upcoming European tour, hopes for a U.S. tour, and the unreleased songs still to come from the Outsider sessions.
If you love soul, blues, Americana, and thoughtful songwriting, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

* The making of Outsider
