<v Speaker 2>Okay, it's I'd love to It's it's called let Me

15
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:35.039
<v Speaker 2>Into Your Heart and it's the first single from my

16
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:38.159
<v Speaker 2>new album that I've been working on for about the

17
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:41.039
<v Speaker 2>last past year, and We've plan to release the album,

18
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:44.240
<v Speaker 2>the full album in January twenty twenty six. But this

19
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:45.280
<v Speaker 2>is the kickoff song.

20
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:47.560
<v Speaker 1>And you actually had a chance to perform this on

21
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:50.240
<v Speaker 1>Young and the Restless, So if anybody missed that when

22
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:52.079
<v Speaker 1>it was on the other day, they can still catch

23
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:52.960
<v Speaker 1>that in streaming, right.

24
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:56.320
<v Speaker 2>You can always stream it on CBS Paramount plus the

25
00:00:56.679 --> 00:01:00.119
<v Speaker 2>Young vests. You can watch it anytime. Yeah, it's to

26
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:02.200
<v Speaker 2>be fun. It's a different version too. This is going

27
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:04.760
<v Speaker 2>to be the acoustic version, but the available and both,

28
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:08.120
<v Speaker 2>by the way, are available now on all streaming platforms.

29
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:10.079
<v Speaker 1>It's the first from the new album that comes out

30
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:12.680
<v Speaker 1>in January. How many other songs are on that album?

31
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:16.640
<v Speaker 2>I would say, right now, there's ten, but I have

32
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:18.719
<v Speaker 2>a feeling it's going to be more like twelve. I

33
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:20.719
<v Speaker 2>would say, Well, see how it goes. We're still we're

34
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:23.040
<v Speaker 2>still working on different tracks and we'll see if they

35
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:24.840
<v Speaker 2>make the cut. But i'd love to, you know, get

36
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:26.760
<v Speaker 2>out as I'd love to put as many songs as

37
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:28.359
<v Speaker 2>possible on the on the full album.

38
00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:29.920
<v Speaker 1>So how do you do that? How do you pick

39
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:32.000
<v Speaker 1>the song that you're going to release first? This one

40
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:34.079
<v Speaker 1>that you know again is on Young and the rest list.

41
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:36.040
<v Speaker 1>This is the first song. How did you pick this one?

42
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:39.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, this kind of had timed out actually with The

43
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:41.799
<v Speaker 2>Young and the Restless because they have this As I

44
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:44.519
<v Speaker 2>was mentioning this special episode, it's it's uh, you know,

45
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:48.920
<v Speaker 2>a bachelor bachelorette party surrounding Danny and Crickets wedding. That's

46
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:51.560
<v Speaker 2>going to be coming up and the show wanted to

47
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:53.519
<v Speaker 2>do some music and said, hey, do you have something

48
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:56.359
<v Speaker 2>that would work for the scene. We'd love to have

49
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:59.640
<v Speaker 2>you perform it. And so we went through the album

50
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:03.599
<v Speaker 2>or they okay, this track lyrically fits I think the

51
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:08.000
<v Speaker 2>best and sent it to the show and then they said, yeah,

52
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:10.560
<v Speaker 2>we'd love it, let's do it. And so that kind

53
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:14.560
<v Speaker 2>of became the first single because people are going to

54
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:17.039
<v Speaker 2>want you know, usually what happens when you when you

55
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:19.680
<v Speaker 2>get seven or eight million people seeing something, They're going

56
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:22.520
<v Speaker 2>to be how do I check out that song? And

57
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:24.680
<v Speaker 2>so we're like, okay, well we got to get that

58
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:27.120
<v Speaker 2>song out and available, so if people want it, they can,

59
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:27.919
<v Speaker 2>they can get it.

60
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.240
<v Speaker 1>I love that again. The first song is available now

61
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:32.400
<v Speaker 1>and the rest of the album comes out in January.

62
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:34.159
<v Speaker 1>Is that the best month of the year? Like, when

63
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:35.840
<v Speaker 1>is the best month of the year to put out

64
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:36.280
<v Speaker 1>an album?

65
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.479
<v Speaker 2>I think January is really good because it's the start

66
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:41.280
<v Speaker 2>of the year. You don't want to put anything out

67
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:45.319
<v Speaker 2>in December, and then the summer people are just listening

68
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:47.919
<v Speaker 2>and just you know, they're in a whole different space.

69
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:51.319
<v Speaker 2>That's why even movies really tend to only come out like,

70
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:53.919
<v Speaker 2>you know, maybe on fourth of July weekend, but you know,

71
00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:58.680
<v Speaker 2>or Labor Day or Memorial days so or Christmas. So

72
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:04.599
<v Speaker 2>January seems to be, you know, the right month. And oh,

73
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:09.159
<v Speaker 2>you know, hopefully if we succeed, then I'll let you

74
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:11.400
<v Speaker 2>next time we do your show, I'll say, hey, okay,

75
00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:13.599
<v Speaker 2>January is the month. Okay. If not, I'll say, well,

76
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:14.680
<v Speaker 2>maybe not January.

77
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:16.719
<v Speaker 1>I love that. And you've been doing music for a

78
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:19.080
<v Speaker 1>long long time. How has the music world changed since

79
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:21.039
<v Speaker 1>you first started in the music industry?

80
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:24.159
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Wow, Well, let's start with when I first started,

81
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:28.719
<v Speaker 2>it was vinyl and then the oh and cassettes. Actually,

82
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:30.840
<v Speaker 2>let me go back before that h track cartridges. How

83
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:32.960
<v Speaker 2>about that that was an experience in itself and your

84
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:35.319
<v Speaker 2>favorite song would click to the second half and so

85
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:40.719
<v Speaker 2>then then I was able to experience. What's really cool

86
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:44.560
<v Speaker 2>is that when rock on my single, you know, went

87
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:48.759
<v Speaker 2>to number one, that was sort of a transition from cassette.

88
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:53.159
<v Speaker 2>And that's when CD, you know, CDs really took off,

89
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:59.280
<v Speaker 2>and cassettes then slowly, you know, fell off. Because I

90
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:03.639
<v Speaker 2>remember when I received my Gold Records from the record company,

91
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:07.240
<v Speaker 2>it had the Giant and the CD, it had small CD,

92
00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:10.120
<v Speaker 2>and it had a cassette in gold as well, so

93
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:12.319
<v Speaker 2>and then you know, that was sort of the end

94
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.000
<v Speaker 2>of that era, which is you know, it's a great,

95
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:18.480
<v Speaker 2>great time. And now the streaming platforms have started, and

96
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:22.079
<v Speaker 2>that's something that's incredible because you know, people can get

97
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:26.560
<v Speaker 2>it instantaneously, and that makes it very convenient to get

98
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:27.160
<v Speaker 2>music out.

99
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:30.240
<v Speaker 1>And the cool thing about the instant like this particular

100
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:32.920
<v Speaker 1>situation here, your song is out now, but the album

101
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:34.959
<v Speaker 1>won't even be out till January. I don't have to

102
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:36.759
<v Speaker 1>wait till January. I can listen to it now.

103
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:38.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you can hear that, you can hear let Me

104
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:41.040
<v Speaker 2>into your Heart. And I've got two versions, which is

105
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:43.759
<v Speaker 2>really cool. I've got the full version and the acoustic version.

106
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:47.040
<v Speaker 2>The acoustic version is the one that I'm performing on

107
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:48.680
<v Speaker 2>Young and the rests.

108
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:49.800
