And I think I've earned my 24 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 2: right in saying that, like I'm one of you lot 25 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 2: at this point. 26 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: Well, you know what, I was in New York what 27 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: two weeks ago, and we were talking with some people 28 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,279 Speaker 1: and she said, God, I could listen to your accent 29 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: for hours, and I really like that. That was a 30 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: great start. But then she said, I'd never come to 31 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: Australia because I feel like every day everything is trying 32 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: to kill you. And I said, no, no, no, no, no, 33 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: it's not that bad like that at all. 34 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 2: Well, no, I don't say that. I obviously just make 35 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 2: it known that, like lifestyle is so lovely and it's 36 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 2: like a slower pace of life I feel like compared 37 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 2: to the rest of the world that I have lived in. 38 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 2: And like I just I like the idea of like 39 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 2: feeling accepted for who I am. And you know, I 40 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 2: feel like it's been such a wake up call for 41 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 2: me kind of ever since twenty twenty twenty twenty one, 42 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 2: like when I got there, like when things sort of 43 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 2: started to change for me. And so you know, I 44 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 2: just think all jokes aside. When you're in a good headspace, 45 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 2: like the inspiration starts happening, and like, I'm very affected 46 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 2: by my environment and when I'm sort of creating things, 47 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 2: I have to really like be comfortable wherever I am. 48 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 2: And so you know, with this error and what I 49 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 2: like to call a reinvention of myself. You know, I 50 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 2: wanted to just challenge what I haven't done before. 51 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: Can I ask a question, do you think there's an 52 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: extra pressure? And I've only just thought of this question now, 53 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: just in terms of the sexual side of things. When 54 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: you talk about Sabrina Carpenter and you talk about Taylor 55 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: Swift some of her recent lyrics, I'm talking about Travis 56 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey and what opened her thighs? Do you feel 57 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: like that. 58 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 2: I don't even know what you're talking about. 59 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: You've give rid all of that lyric that Taylor Swift 60 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: that was the key. 61 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 3: That opened my thighs, the Redwood Tree and he ah, 62 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 3: my ties. 63 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: Yes, I was trying to work out does that then 64 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: put a pressure on what you think you need to be? 65 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 2: Well? You know what it is. I mean personally, I've 66 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 2: always been sort of very outspoken with who I am, 67 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 2: and you know, sometimes that works with people that doesn't. 68 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 2: But the reality is I've always been honest, and I 69 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 2: think with her as well in her songwriting, She's always 70 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 2: been honest, right, and so why would change that now? Yeah, 71 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 2: she's one of the best musicians of our generation. Like 72 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 2: it goes without saying, and I think having the ability 73 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 2: to be that direct. It's so refreshing. That's what I 74 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 2: mean about this record with All Natural, Like I'm so 75 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 2: direct with it all because finding something to hide behind, 76 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 2: like it doesn't last long anymore in this day and age, 77 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,559 Speaker 2: And as a singer, I wanted to almost feel uncomfortable 78 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 2: when I was singing in the studio because that's the 79 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 2: only way I knew I was doing something different. So 80 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 2: I felt like, how can I feel uncomfortable? Okay, let's 81 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 2: try talking really, Yeah, I've never talked on a record. 82 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 2: I love to sing and show off that I can 83 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 2: sing and like, but I needed a redo, like I 84 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 2: wanted to refresh and I felt so excited again. And 85 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 2: so yeah, that's what I enjoyed about this process. 86 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 3: Can I ask did Tyger request that he was involved 87 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 3: in the new film clip for All Natural? 88 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: We are loving the song by the way. 89 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 2: You know, I like to put him to work. I 90 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 2: feel like I've been really really open about that, and 91 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 2: I don't think he's got enough jobs. Obviously, he's so busy. 92 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 2: Having him make time for me. It's like always, I'm 93 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 2: so lucky to just like rely on him, you know, 94 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 2: for moments, and he obviously gives me mates rates because 95 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 2: otherwise you sleep in a different room, and you know, 96 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 2: nobody else could tell this story. He saw me when 97 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 2: I was vulnerable and I was doubting myself as an artist, 98 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 2: Like I was really confused for a minute. 99 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 3: I felt like I was. 100 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 2: On this hamster wheel. And so you know, he gave 101 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 2: me that confidence to really ignite this, like go and 102 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 2: do things for yourself. And that's sort. 103 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 3: Of that's awesome. Can you just on that. We know 104 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 3: how brilliant director he is.
