Alongside nobody exists, that's all you. 41 00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.519 Yeah you wrote that alone. Yeah, I did by yourself. 42 00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:11.680 So is that is that that a writing session with inspiration? 43 00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:14.759 Is that something you pulled, had to pull from? Did 44 00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:15.960 you have that ready to go? 45 00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:18.560 That was actually just me waiting on the other rider 46 00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:21.280 to get there. Yeah, I mean, because I really do 47 00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:24.280 love to co write. I would say like ninety percent 48 00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:27.039 of the album was me involved in the studio doing something, 49 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:28.280 and then a couple songs were sent to me. 50 00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:31.439 Got a collab. I love collabor there's beauty and collaboration. 51 00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:33.400 I agree. But yeah, so there was just a beat. 52 00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:35.240 I was in the studio with London. I think we're 53 00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:38.000 in Miami and I was waiting on Poover to get there. 54 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:41.240 He was late, and that's the period. But yeah, I 55 00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:42.639 was like, well what you guy? Let me just see 56 00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:44.159 what I get. Maybe I'll start an idea and then 57 00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:46.120 you know, we could finish it as a as a duo. 58 00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:48.280 But I just read the hell thing and I didn't 59 00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:50.280 even know what it was going to give. I was like, okay, period, 60 00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:52.639 you know, but then it just kept coming back up. 61 00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:54.240 Yeah, up, yeah. 62 00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:56.759 So would you say that you surprised yourself throughout this 63 00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:58.319 whole process of the album? 64 00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.039 I definitely do. I definitely do, because I think you know, 65 00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:05.280 when you you yourself are hardest on yourself. So I'm 66 00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:08.639 very like, very very emotional about the songs. I like 67 00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:10.479 them all and I can't pick and I don't want to, 68 00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:12.919 so I literally have like a notes out with my 69 00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:14.360 team and I'll just send the demos and then I'll 70 00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:16.280 just like close my ears and be like, oh, hope 71 00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:19.360 they like what I loved. But I don't say anything 72 00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:21.639 because I don't want them to say anything based on me. 73 00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:23.680 But when they don't react to something, I'm like a 74 00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:26.919 glass of wine. I guess literally, but I love all 75 00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:28.919 the songs, but yeah, I am. I do surprise myself. 76 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.199 I think also I can't really tell like if it's good, 77 00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:34.159 because you know, when you're doing stuff, you're like I 78 00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:38.599 don't know if this is your yes, bro, yes, But 79 00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:41.159 so I just literally to my team to like react 80 00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:43.240 and see, and then they kind of show me what 81 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:45.360 stuff is. Like everybody mutually agrees. 82 00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:48.319 It's like, for sure, almost beautiful design. That's a that's 83 00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:49.240 a rare. 84 00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:54.400 Future r R l f M Los Angeles, goddamn scared everybody, 85 00:03:54.479 --> 00:04:04.080 Sorry about that black. 86 00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:09.680 Hilarious, that's how hard equipment, but most beautiful design. That's future. 87 00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:11.639 That's a rare. That's a rare sighting of that side 88 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:12.120 of future. 89 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:14.439 Yeah right, that was crazy to me. I didn't know 90 00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:16.399 he was going to be, you know, the softer. 91 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:21.800 Vulnerable he was coming with his toxic vibe dot com. Yeah, 92 00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:22.480 I thought. 93 00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:24.680 That, you know, that's what we know him for. But 94 00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:26.839 I really think it was London who like bridged that 95 00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:29.000 gap so sieously because he works with both of us 96 00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:31.240 very much, and he's built like a great chemistry. So 97 00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:33.000 I think he was able to kind of paint a 98 00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:35.399 picture of what I'm trying to do and what I'm 99 00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:37.480 trying to put on this album and make that world 100 00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:39.360 and figure out how to like bridge both of those 101 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:42.680 gaps so that we could both like seamlessly fit on 102 00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:44.920 a record, because I really feel like we fit on 103 00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:46.040 that record really well, and. 104 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.720 He came to see you, what you mean on that record, 105 00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:49.399 he came to see you. 106 00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:54.279 And now he definitely makes the world his you know. 107 00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:55.879 I was happy to have the very. 108 00:04:57.160 --> 00:04:59.519 But he wanted to meet you halfway, like kind of 109 00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:02.800 vibey thing. It definitely felt like a little bit wrong 110 00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:04.199 with that's growth as an artist. 111 00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:06.800 That was really really cool, really refreshing to see. And 112 00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:09.079 I was like really excited for like the culture to 113 00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:11.160 see that because we do a lot of toxic songs 114 00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:13.040 in rap and in R and B, like that's what 115 00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:15.199 we were doing. But it was really like a refreshing 116 00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:17.199 perspective on like being in love. And I feel like 117 00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:18.759 the rap R and B comm was like that used 118 00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:20.959 to be a thing, thing, thing and stuff, you know, 119 00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:24.519 you know, so I was happy to be able to 120 00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:25.639 do that on my debut album. 121 00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:32.360 Yeah Taste is like dope live Thank you paonomically sounds good, right, 122 00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:34.160 and it just feels good, I think, right. 123 00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:37.240 I definitely do. But I'm not even gonna hold you. 124 00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:40.040 That was the scariest song that I have ever released 125 00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:43.120 so far. Really, Yeah, I just didn't know if people 126 00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:45.000 were going to have adverse reacts. I mean people did. 127 00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:46.680 It was like you either loved it or you did 128 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:48.000 not want to see me like that. You did not 129 00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:51.079 want to see me all sensual and not belting and 130 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:53.920 you know, singing my heart out. So I was nervous, 131 00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:56.920 you know. I tried hello, like I did the Disney 132 00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:01.240 Channel thing for like half my upbringing, so like, I 133 00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:05.519 really be on my pop ship too. I'm both of 134 00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:07.600 those things, you know. So I wanted to be able 135 00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:09.199 to show that. And that's kind of the premise of 136 00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:11.480 why not More's like I felt like, Okay, people do 137 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:13.399 know me for this. Should I just stay there? Is 138 00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:15.000 that what people want? Is that the safe thing to do? 139 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:16.959 But then I was like, dang, I got these other things. 140 00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:18.839 I got other influences. I'm from Nashville. I want to 141 00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:20.639 do something a little country. I did the pop thing. 142 00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:22.639 I love Brittany, I want to do that too, And 143 00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:24.800 so that kind of led to me asking myself, why 144 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:26.720 couldn't I do that? And all the answers I feel 145 00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:28.000 like they were just rooted in fear. So I had 146 00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:28.600 to just do it. 147 00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:31.879 Yeah, you gotta jump, you gotta jump, you know? Is 148 00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:33.399 mom okay?

I sang 193 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:34.159 at a couple of things. 194 00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:39.240 We have to coming up. We got to audience you're performing. 195 00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:42.279 I'm like, not the crowd I was looking for, But 196 00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:44.919 the show will go on. It's a crowd on the less, 197 00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:49.840 you know, tough crowds, crowd. 198 00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:59.159 Like shuddering, But you're singing over sniffles, you're singing over crying, 199 00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:01.159 You're singing over emotion, and. 200 00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:03.720 It's definitely real. It's definitely real. And I do think 201 00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:06.240 that those type of environments, I would say, like more 202 00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:09.279 gospel and church environments than that is what I've experienced. 203 00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:12.039 But that feeling of like needing to be a vessel 204 00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:15.960 for people to get that uplifting feeling has been a 205 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:17.279 reason why I've gotten here. 206 00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:20.840 So for sure, I heard being around death gives you 207 00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:24.519 a certain strength that most people may not have or 208 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.279 be able to receive in their lifetime because they see 209 00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.399 it at its end, right, and they see life at 210 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:33.759 its end, and that gives you like a I don't know, 211 00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:36.159 like a gratitude, like a sense of gratitude, a bigger 212 00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:37.600 sense of gratitude. Is that true? 213 00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:39.559 Well, you know what, I'm not around death to that 214 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:41.720 much of a degree. That's all my mama's side. And 215 00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:43.519 they open are in South Carolina getting down like that. 216 00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:47.960 But I will say when you come into an area 217 00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:50.039 like church, like that's what I was raised in, singing 218 00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:52.240 in the church, and there is a sort of like 219 00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:56.480 a need for healing there that's very heavy to carry 220 00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:59.840 as a kid. But you kind of just like connect 221 00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:01.559 with God. Like that's where I feel like your purpose 222 00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:05.279 comes in, because to make people feel and to make 223 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:08.360 that to tie those spirits together, like you know what 224 00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:10.840 I'm saying, Like I know exactly what you're feeling, and 225 00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:13.720 to uplift people in a way like spiritually, that would 226 00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:16.559 have to be you know, being purposeful, letting God use 227 00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:19.000 you as a vessel, which I think that feeling carries 228 00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:20.360 over into my music. Now. 229 00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:23.759 You know, outside of the family, ever been to a 230 00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:26.840 psychic medium being that they like you know, are around 231 00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:27.279 death so. 232 00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:28.480 Much girl. 233 00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:37.039 Respectful, right, So there's a lot of similarities. We ain't 234 00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:40.480 down with that though, we don't roll on that side. 235 00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:43.000 We keep it up. Have a good one. Praise God, 236 00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:48.960 see you in the glory. That hilarious, so funny. That 237 00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:50.399 does remind me of the story. So when I first 238 00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:54.360 moved to La I was literally like just coming out 239 00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:57.639 of being like in this very contained box like you're 240 00:10:57.639 --> 00:10:59.399 in the Disney thing, and I was very sheltered some 241 00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:02.399 people I did not have the normal experience. I really 242 00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:04.840 also didn't want to like rebel. I just wanted to 243 00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:06.840 work seriously. So when I came out here and I 244 00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:09.480 moved out here as an adult, I graduated early at seventeen, 245 00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:12.639 I was like actually living for the first time ever. 246 00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:14.799 And I remember I had this friend and she was 247 00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:17.200 super into like all of the witcheryas and whatnot. And 248 00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:19.399 I was like, ooh, girl, that ain't my truth. But 249 00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:21.840 we went to this one little like halloween thing and 250 00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:23.840 she was like, oh, we should get our cards read. 251 00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:26.679 I was like, okay, girl, We did that, and then 252 00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:28.320 I literally called my mom. I was like, Mom, pay 253 00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:31.000 for me. For me, girl, I have my cards right. 254 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:33.240 I was so sorry. I was so damn scared. We 255 00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:36.679 do not be clear like that. Yeah, literally hilarious. 256 00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:37.039 Yeah. 257 00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:38.720 I was like it was too spooky for me.

The song is the sentiment of the 321 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:17.679 album in a way too, because like R and B, 322 00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:20.360 but I'm on like this like Island Vibe, like these 323 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:22.200 are things that I was like, dang, this is out 324 00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:24.320 the box and this is something different than what I've 325 00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:27.039 done before. But I feel like when am I supposed 326 00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:29.559 to teach the audience that I'm all of these different things? 327 00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:30.480 It's not now, you know. 328 00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:32.639 And also too, it was a good break between the 329 00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:34.399 album because it was R and B and then you 330 00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:36.480 get the YG Marley song and then it's R and 331 00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:39.080 B outterwards. I'm like, cool, it's like a good like refresher. 332 00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:41.919 That's real, that's real. How don't say that? 333 00:14:42.919 --> 00:14:43.240 What's up? 334 00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:47.360 How's that? Are you excited about that?

I think this time I'm way more 337 00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:58.320 intentional because I know that that's an important thing to consider. 338 00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:00.840 I feel like with the EP it was kind of like, 339 00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:03.000 oh my gosh, I have all of this relevancy again. 340 00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:05.120 Oh my gosh, I have a show. Now I'm signed again. 341 00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:07.159 I'm an adult. I don't want to mess this up. 342 00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:10.360 Everybody picked for me, so literally, down to the color scheme, 343 00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:12.200 I didn't pick a thing. I didn't want to because 344 00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:14.200 I didn't want to be wrong. And I also was like, 345 00:15:14.279 --> 00:15:16.720 how does this work as an adult versus me being 346 00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:19.960 signed at fourteen and not knowing anything to now being 347 00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:22.200 grown and being like what do I need to learn here? 348 00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:25.200 Like this is a real business. So I was kind 349 00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:26.879 of figuring it out. But this time on the tour, 350 00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:29.799 I've learned, Okay, everything has to come from me. So 351 00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:32.039 what am I? What do I want? What do I 352 00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:33.240 want to say? Who do I want to be? And 353 00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:35.279 how do I want that world to be built out? 354 00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:38.320 So I'm really really happy with like the aesthetics, the choreo, 355 00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:40.399 the music, it all is coming from me this time. 356 00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:42.960 There you go. You're on TikTok. Your countdown to the 357 00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:46.360 album drop was serious, like it was real. Yeah, And 358 00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:49.320 I think day two You're like, yo, I'm mourning. I'm 359 00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:51.480 in mourning. What was that about? 360 00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:52.399 I don't know. 361 00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:54.480 I was like, was it a shehad? Maybe I think 362 00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:55.759 you were shedding maybe a layer. 363 00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:58.080 It felt like all of that for real, all of that, 364 00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:01.879 the girl, that I was for this because I take 365 00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:04.720 this stuff so seriously, like this is my life and 366 00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:07.519 it's not a game. I really only get the one 367 00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:11.200 opportunity to do a first anything for real, and you know, 368 00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:13.200 as an adult you have less and less first you 369 00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:15.519 know what I'm saying. So it was so important to 370 00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:18.399 me and I'm and I'm so like critical of myself. 371 00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:19.879 Is this really the best work I could do? Is 372 00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:21.480 it's really the best thing that I could really put 373 00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:22.960 on here? You know what I'm saying. That I really 374 00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:26.120 impress myself, you know what I'm saying. So I think 375 00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:27.919 when it was finally done, there was such a relief 376 00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:29.559 that I just wanted to cry, you know, because I'd 377 00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:32.360 been carrying this like burden and it's my job, no 378 00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:34.639 complaining out here, you know what I'm saying. But it's 379 00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:36.480 like a heavy pressure. Like, girl, I'm sure when you 380 00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:39.080 ran that marathon you was ready to cry because like 381 00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:41.879 you did, you know, that was like a perfect analogy. 382 00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:43.519 I ain't ran no marathon. I don't plan on doing that. 383 00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:52.360 It felt like really yes, yes, yes, it's the reflection too. 384 00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:54.840 It's the reflection of like those critical times where you're 385 00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:59.960 like pushing past the most uncomfortable feelings like I am 386 00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:02.519 not going to do anything half assed, so like I 387 00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:04.759 would try everything. I would try sessions with new people 388 00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:06.000 I didn't know, I didn't know if it was going 389 00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:07.880 to mean anything, and I would push past, like we're 390 00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:09.839 not vibing, this is not chemistry. But I love this 391 00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:11.160 track and I don't want to waste this track. So 392 00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:12.680 what do I do? You know, like all of these 393 00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:15.680 uncomfortable scenarios of like go in and re record that again, 394 00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:17.920 and I'll rerecord it again. It wasn't hidden. It's like 395 00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:19.440 you know what I'm saying, Like all of the things 396 00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:22.480 you do to make something great, you just be like ah, 397 00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:25.880 Like when it's finally over, it's like that pressure is lifted. 398 00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:28.480 Yes, And I also feel too, like when you like 399 00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:30.960 let out those emotions like crying or whatever it may be, 400 00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:33.599 like frustration, anger, you tend to go back and be 401 00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:36.160
