00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 2: Doing this, not at all, long time though, chat.

6
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 3: I know where are you at the moment. I'm in

7
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 3: New York, the old bloody big Apple.

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: Hey, well, actually, can we ask about that? Because you've

9
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: had a couple of days to recover. You had a

10
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: big met gala? How was that? Did you enjoy the night?

11
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: I did?

12
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 2: I actually had a lot of fun. I don't know

13
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 2: if it's the fact that I am less shy than

14
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 2: when I last attended, or the fact that everyone has

15
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 2: been inside and we're just out and you.

16
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: Got invited to an after party, which I think Rihanna

17
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: put on. Is that correct?

18
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 2: You make it sound like I personally, I think the

19
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,839
Speaker 2: whole gala is really invited to Rihanna's party.

20
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 3: But yeah, Lord, when you look at the outfit like

21
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 3: you do, look amazing, and you know some of the

22
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 3: outfits are head turners, and that's the idea of the event,

23
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 3: where do you start? I mean, I know, when I've

24
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 3: got to do fancy dress, I've just got a tiger suit,

25
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 3: which I bought from eBay one time for a great party.

26
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 3: It's a crack kids love it. But where do you

27
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 3: start when you go, okay, I need something that's going

28
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 3: to stand out, that's going to be appropriate. How do

29
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 3: you come up with what you're going to wear? Well?

30
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 2: This was my third Mick Gala, and I work with

31
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: a designer I really liked, so it was really just

32
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 2: about like having you know, fun, designing it with her

33
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 2: to think about what I would want to wear. She

34
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: the theme's American independence right designers, and she incorporated lots

35
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 2: of sort of antique American charms and Kimnis and all

36
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: these sort of little things. So I felt like a

37
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: sort of walking museum exhibit, which my mum.

38
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 3: Do you know I could really see the theme in

39
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 3: Kim Kardashian. Yeah, that was yeah, yeah.

40
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: Do you know what though? What I love about you

41
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: Lord and you in twenty thirteen when Royals was introduced

00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,600

61
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,560

Speaker 2: crazy world, for sure, and I don't think yeah, I

00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 2: young women, like all these beautiful TikTok.

82
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: Stars, don't know who they are.

83
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: Well, I don't want to hear anyone out pretty sweetly.

Speaker 2: hot and you were a fan of me.

86
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: That's amazing. Do you still that that group of mates

87
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: that you grew up with Lord in New Zealand, have

88
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: you brought them over to experience that life?

89
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: Well? He actually had one of my New Zealand friends

90
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 2: with me that night. Say that, but she's pretty unflappable.

91
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: She wasn't too bathe by you know, I don't know

92
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 2: sure mind is getting up in a grill.

93
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: Actually, the album is unbelievable. You were recording I think

94
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: it was for Solar Power. The song you recorded a

95
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: film clip on a beach that's a New Zealand lord

96
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: and apparently a guy pulled up with his family and

97
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: they were fishing and they knew something was going on

98
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 1: and they were told you have to leave, but they

99
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: could see in the distance that you were filming. Is

100
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: it hard now for you New Zealand to get away

101
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: with stuff like that?

102
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 2: Well, I think anything like if I was on my

103
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 2: boat and I saw something being filmed, you know, I

104
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 2: would be telling my dad to zoom over. I get it. Yeah, No,

105
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: I mean it is kind of I think it's tricky

106
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 2: to film anything anywhere, to be honest, it's just exciting.

107
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 2: But yeah, people were sort of peeping around.

108
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: We don't mind.

109
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: It was all right.

110
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 3: I mean when you when you're such a big artist

111
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 3: too from New Zealand, how often is just Cinda I

112
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 3: doing on the phone? Have you got the numbers? She's

113
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 3: looking through a text me. So it's just cracking outfit

114
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 3: nailed at Tonightala great work, babes.

115
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 2: No comment, mate, that's a yes.

116
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 1: That is awesome. Now it has been It has been

117
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: a while since we've heard music from you and been

118
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 1: on the road. So look, this pandemic has been a

119
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: long time. But you know what, when it all starts

120
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: up in twenty twenty two, Lord, are you ready? Are

121
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: you prepared for the next two three years of your life?

122
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: Because you are in demand, You'll be all around the

123
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: world toiering. Are you looking forward to that or is

124
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: it quite daunting?

125
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 2: It's both. I'm deeply looking forward to it, and I'm

126
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 2: terrified of doing it and can't imagine doing it right now.

127
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 2: But I think I think it's going to be really cool.

128
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 2: I think the energy of the shows is going to

129
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 2: be so intense because of what we've all experienced, you know,

130
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 2: And I really I think it's like a once in

131
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 2: a lifetime level of capasas.

132
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

133
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm excited, but I feel tired thinking about it.

134
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie stop thinking about it, just do it.

135
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, my calendar is a minefield, you know. But it's

136
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 2: going to be great.

137
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,640
