This week on the show, I'm spotlighting the world of sophisti-pop. Now, I totally get that many people still have never heard or understand the term “sophisti-pop,” but hopefully, after Thursday's show filled with smooth, relaxing and jazzy numbers, that's going to be a thing of the past. I hope you can dim the lights and join me.
