About this episode
In the early 2000s, Blu Cantrell stepped on the scene with the looks, the voice, the style, and a chart-topping debut. However, as rumors got louder and the industry shifted, she disappeared from the public eye. What happened? In this episode, we revisit Blu’s career and examine how talent can be overshadowed by headlines, and how quickly the GP moves on. Stay to the end for a personal update on where I’ve been and what’s next!
