1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:01,080
Speaker 1: It is.

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 2: Never We're feeling good. About half an hour ago when

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 2: we played Amy Shark's brand new single Everybody Rise. It

4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 2: is so good to hear her voice again, and she

5
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 2: joins us on the show. Now Amy Shark, Amen.

6
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 3: Thank you, everyone appreciate it. Thanks Tom.

7
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 2: We're looking at you at the moment you're in a studio.

8
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 2: Is this at home? I mean you, I mean your album.

9
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: Let's talk about that, because I mean you've had your

10
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 2: album ready to go for a while lockdown hits. How

11
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 2: frustrating is that? I mean, you just want to get

12
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 2: out to the world what you've written. Jeez, it must

13
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: have been hard sitting on it.

14
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 3: It was hard.

15
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 4: But you know, I think when you have to just

16
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 4: go cold turkey from touring, traveling, working, and then you

17
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 4: have to just stop and sit still completely in your

18
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 4: house and there is nothing happening for months, it's like

19
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 4: it's the weirdest feeling ever. And like, you know, at

20
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 4: the start of it, there's so many different like days

21
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 4: were different, and you know, just waves of emotion and

22
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 4: how I felt. But I think, you know, when I

23
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 4: look back now, the world was obviously very sick and

24
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 4: needed needed time to for so many different things that

25
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 4: were happening, and I feel like it was probably a

26
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 4: really good thing.

27
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 3: That that has happened.

28
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 4: But also for me personally, I got the time to

29
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 4: really zone in on all this new music and and

30
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 4: really work on it and deliver it and fix up

31
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 4: things that I didn't really have time to do for

32
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 4: the first record, which is normal.

33
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 3: It's you know, your debut album. Is you're still learning?

34
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 3: And is that what you were doing?

35
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 4: Aim through Ed Shearing?

36
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 5: Because there's a picture of you guys together and you

37
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 5: were writing apparently was that in January in London?

38
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 4: Yeap, I went to Suffolk. I got a nice invitation

39
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 4: to his house.

40
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 3: Did you see the pub? Did you see the part?

41
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was awesome. I can't say too much what

42
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 4: I have It'll all in good time, but I will

43
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 4: say that I have got some exciting things that I

44
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 4: worked on with Ed and we just hit it off.

45
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 4: And I thought it was going to be one of

46
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 4: those sessions where you know, you go and you do

47
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 4: some work and then thank you so much for the opportunity.

48
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 4: But you know, I ended up going to his house

49
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 4: and having dinner with him and Cherry and hanging out

50
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 4: and now we speak, you know, quite often, and it's

51
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 4: buzzed me out a bit, you know, like it's it's crazy, what.

52
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 5: Just scheering or just cheezy or.

53
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 3: I definitely don't send him any drum techts.

54
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 2: That's extraordinary. It is what's the process like? Because we

55
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: hear about these song camps that happen around the world

56
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 2: as well. Ames, do you rock up with your own stuff?

57
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: Do you just get on the guitar and say what

58
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 2: do you think of this? Or does he then chip

59
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 2: in with stuff? Is that what the process is all about? Well?

60
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I've usually in the past been really

61
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 4: against writing with anybody, like anyone who knows that when

62
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 4: you get.

63
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 3: An invitation by edge hearing, you don't say no to that.

64
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 4: So like put myself out of my comfort zones and

65
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 4: not be so.

66
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 3: So shut shut off.

67
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 4: And I really just took everyone's advice and and listened

68
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 4: and heard everybody out and working with Ed, I just

69
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 4: I feel like I've really grown as an artist, and

70
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 4: you know, I kind of I feel like I'm I

71
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 4: feel like I'm meant to be here a little.

72
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 3: More so I'm not as nervous the situation.

73
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 5: Did it start by an email or how did he

74
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 5: get on to you to start with just a phone

75
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 5: call out of the blue.

76
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 3: It actually started with Russell Croy.

77
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 4: Ah see he hooked you up.

78
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 3: Just pick that other name.

79
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 5: Up, don't be afraid. So Russell suggested it to Ed

80
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 5: Or do you know Russell well.

81
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 4: Or Russell is a big fan of mine. You know,

82
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 4: I went on to heaps of shows. He loves the

83
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 4: album a lot. I went and did some work in

84
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 4: his studio on his farm, like it was everything was

85
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 4: a bit crazy, and I just remember him saying, Hey,

86
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 4: why don't you guys come and just chill out on

87
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 4: the farm and we went like cord bike riding and

88
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 4: like it was so sick, and Isabelle Lucas just rocks up.

89
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 3: So I was hanging out with her and wow, it.

90
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 4: Was really cool experience. And then he yes, one day

91
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 4: he just said I sent I sent your album to Ed.

92
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 4: I hope that's okay, and he's going to hit you

93
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 4: up soon about next time you're in Really did you

94
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 4: should catch up and do some.

95
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 3: And you know, even that, I was like, as if

96
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 3: that's ever.

97
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 4: Going to happen, And literally like two days past and

98
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 4: I had an email from Ed.

99
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 2: Okay, here's another one. Then all right. Russell told us

100
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 2: that he came up with a special recipe for Ed's

101
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 2: shear and it changed his life. So I wonder if

102
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 2: you tried the punch. Did you try Russell's punch that

103
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 2: he puts together and it's a special recipe he made

104
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: it just for Ed. Please give us No, you didn't

105
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: try that either.

106
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 4: Amy and I did do a shot out of Johnny

107
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,799
Speaker 4: Cash's Grammy and.

108
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 5: Oh wow, how good is that? I? Can we just

109
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 5: can we just go back? Can we go back to

110
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 5: when you released the first album, You had some singles,

111
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 5: you were winning arias. You got up on stage and

112
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 5: you said, you know what, I was about to throw

113
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 5: in the towel, and then I decided to keep going.

114
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 5: And I can't believe the success I've had. Now cut
