And you know, the wonderful thing for me 20 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 2: about it is that it's my first gospel album and 21 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 2: me really putting Jesus Christ at the center of my 22 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 2: messaging and my music, and I'm just really excited so 23 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 2: far with the response that we've received from just all 24 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 2: of my followers and supporters of the music for all 25 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,199 Speaker 2: these years. I think people are excited about the sound 26 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 2: and that it still sounds very much like the Malay 27 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 2: that you've known over the years. Yeah, it's it's kind 28 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 2: of maintained the soulfulness, which is what is different about 29 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 2: it as a gospel experience, and so I'm extremely excited 30 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 2: about the live band just experience of it that is 31 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 2: obviously a first time, Yeah, at a Peuti for venue 32 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 2: as well. I think the market theater for me was 33 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 2: one of the choices that made sense as someone who 34 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 2: has always wanted to put up a show and host 35 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 2: a show at such a historic venue. Yeah. 36 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: You've previously in other interviews spoken about how Ditapelo is 37 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: probably one of the most personal albums that you created. 38 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,239 Speaker 1: It was also an album that you were kind of 39 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 1: thinking about or working on, you know, during your pregnancy, 40 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: and that brought you closer to God. Tell us about 41 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: why this album is so personal. 42 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 2: To you, Well, you know, I think at least over 43 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 2: the last couple of years, I've just in my own 44 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 2: personal walk with Christ and my spiritual enlightenment, really have 45 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 2: wanted to express that so much, just in terms of 46 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 2: artistically being able to express this encounter that I've had, 47 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 2: and I, you know, had a number of kind of 48 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 2: trials and difficult times that I faced, which really are 49 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,959 Speaker 2: are the reasons that brought me to a place where 50 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 2: I needed to find myself on my knees and in 51 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 2: conversation with God, you know, really trying to understand the 52 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 2: meaning of life, you know, And I think a lot 53 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 2: of us when we go through the difficulties that we 54 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 2: face in life, it really forces us to ask those 55 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 2: deeper questions. And so particularly during the pregnancy, I had 56 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 2: previously gone through three miscarriages, and so it was a 57 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 2: time in my life where I really was holding onto 58 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 2: my faith. And in every song, you know, the moments 59 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 2: where I'm just trying to express how I'm depending on 60 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 2: this very faithful and wonderful God, you know, and my 61 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 2: son times a year old and in a week from now, 62 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 2: and I just really I'm in a place where the 63 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 2: album comes out at the perfect time where it's all 64 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 2: just a testimony for me, and I just want to 65 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 2: encourage people in general just to find that place and 66 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 2: space in their lives to make God the center of 67 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 2: it all. 68 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, and so for you, I see you also describe 69 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: you know, it's been described this content this evening as 70 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: a return to South. 71 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 2: Tell us about that, well, you know, I think if 72 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 2: there's one thing that I've just come to understand about 73 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 2: life and the mistake that we make as people, is 74 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 2: that we generally have it in our minds that we 75 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 2: are in control and that it is within our own power, 76 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 2: you know, the plans that we make and that we 77 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 2: have in mind for our lives. We are so I 78 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 2: guess just it it kind of feels like sometimes we're 79 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 2: a little bit of all about this experience of life 80 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 2: in thinking that we determine what it should be. And really, 81 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 2: I think that coming back to self is coming to 82 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 2: a place where coming back to my creator is what 83 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 2: then allows me to fulfill that self, that that purpose 84 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 2: that I was actually created for. And I think it's 85 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 2: it's something that is something we need to consider in 86 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 2: life and to reconsider rather those ideas that it is 87 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 2: in your hands when it's not, you know. So I 88 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,119 Speaker 2: think these are the lessons that I've come to learn 89 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 2: and and for me, it's it's a coming into the 90 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 2: woman that I was always purposed to be. And yeah, 91 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 2: I just i'd love to encourage people to make that 92 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 2: search a priority, you know, so that you are really 93 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 2: living out to the maximum of what you're the full 94 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 2: manisfestation of who you're meant to be. Yeah. 95 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: So the show is taking place tonight at seven thirty. 96 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 1: It's at the John Danny Theater. If we're looking for tickets, 97 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: where do we find them? Is it a kid for 98 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: English show? Can you bring the kids or is it 99 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: better perhaps for doubts and older children? 100 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 2: So the market theater, I think the age restriction is 101 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 2: sixteen and above, So unfortunately the kiddies have to stay 102 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 2: home tonight. But I mean, I think, really I'm excited 103 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 2: about this album in particularly because it's one that I 104 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 2: think sound wise is appealing to a younger market as well. 105 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 2: And so you know, I've got some of my nieces 106 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 2: coming through, and I just would encourage anybody who has 107 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 2: you know, just someone younger that you would love to 108 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 2: invite and have be part of the experience. I think 109 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 2: they would absolutely love both the messaging but the music 110 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 2: as well as really still the beautiful, soulful sounds of 111 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 2: Malay that you know, so I think it's going to 112 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 2: be absolutely amazing.
