WEBVTT - Music with Luvleigh

0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:05.519
<v Speaker 1>The conversation email Popah at CapeTalk dot co dotza.

0:00:06.160 --> 0:00:08.440
<v Speaker 2>Let's finish with some music, and today we welcome back

0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:10.319
<v Speaker 2>an artist we first spoke to on the show at

0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:12.799
<v Speaker 2>the beginning of last year when she was just sixteen

0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:15.200
<v Speaker 2>years old. You may recall she had to pop out

0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:17.880
<v Speaker 2>of her school classroom to come and talk to us. Well,

0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:20.079
<v Speaker 2>we've timed it better this time round. It is still

0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:22.680
<v Speaker 2>school holiday, so we're not pulling her out of class today.

0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:26.640
<v Speaker 2>Lee Devilliers is though still at school. She's better known

0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:29.159
<v Speaker 2>by her a stage name of Lovely and has just

0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:31.480
<v Speaker 2>released a new single called Broke Me, which we are

0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:34.159
<v Speaker 2>going to play for you this afternoon. First though, let's say, oh,

0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:36.240
<v Speaker 2>welcome back to Cape Talk and it's lovely to catch

0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:36.880
<v Speaker 2>up with you again.

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:39.319
<v Speaker 1>Lee. Thank you so much for having me again. It's

0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:40.320
<v Speaker 1>finished in a while.

0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 2>I know it feels like just yesterday we were dragging

0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:46.880
<v Speaker 2>you out of the classroom. Lovely, you in metric this year,

0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:49.040
<v Speaker 2>and I know you've already released three songs.

0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:50.040
<v Speaker 1>How on earth are.

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:51.800
<v Speaker 2>You managing to do it all to keep up with

0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:54.440
<v Speaker 2>your studies and still keep on recording music.

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:58.080
<v Speaker 1>It has been crazy in the beginning. It wasn't that bad,

0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:02.440
<v Speaker 1>but when term two it was insane. I was late

0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:05.840
<v Speaker 1>nights not to be very much. But this holiday has

0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:09.760
<v Speaker 1>definitely done me some good and the music is going

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 1>to slow down a lit of it here for finals,

0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:15.840
<v Speaker 1>because obviously education does have to take a bit of

0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:19.440
<v Speaker 1>a forefront now. But yeah, it has been busy.

0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:21.840
<v Speaker 2>But it has also been very fulfilling, and is the

0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:24.480
<v Speaker 2>plan to keep on with the music after the exams

0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:26.559
<v Speaker 2>are done. What you're thinking around next year and.

0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:31.279
<v Speaker 1>Beyond it definitely is music is definitely my focus, although

0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:35.000
<v Speaker 1>my parents are more like, okay, let's just get a degree.

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Let's have something to fall back on, as it is

0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:42.680
<v Speaker 1>a very difficult industry. So I'm probably going to go

0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:46.720
<v Speaker 1>study marketing, which will therefore also help me with the music.

0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:49.240
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of like a double wheremy you get the

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:53.639
<v Speaker 1>degree and you can also help yourself with the career

0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:55.640
<v Speaker 1>that I want to do, which is for music.

0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 2>It makes a lot of sense. Those skills are going

0:01:57.680 --> 0:01:59.160
<v Speaker 2>to stand you in very good state in terms of

0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:03.000
<v Speaker 2>promoting your music. It's been created in future, so I

0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:05.600
<v Speaker 2>think your folks are probably onto something. They're in guiding

0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:09.119
<v Speaker 2>you in that direction. For the record, sure, let's talk

0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:11.560
<v Speaker 2>a little bit about the sort of the subject matter

0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:14.040
<v Speaker 2>of the current music. I know that you've said that

0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 2>a lot of what you're creating at the moment is

0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:19.240
<v Speaker 2>intended for those who are struggling with their mental health.

0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:21.480
<v Speaker 2>We know that it's something that the youth of today

0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:23.960
<v Speaker 2>are really battling with. We keep on and on hearing

0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 2>about the growth in mental health issues in the younger generations.

0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Is that why it means so much to you to

0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 2>focus on the subject material? Why does it resonate so

0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:33.079
<v Speaker 2>with you?

0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:38.080
<v Speaker 1>It resonates me because it probably sounds a bit generic,

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:40.560
<v Speaker 1>but mental health has been a very big thing in

0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:46.800
<v Speaker 1>my life personally since a young age, and your music,

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 1>cliche enough as it is, music was the thing that

0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:53.480
<v Speaker 1>got me through. So it kind of feels like a

0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:55.800
<v Speaker 1>sort of a guty to give that to someone else

0:02:55.840 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 1>as well and fill the gap of the topic and

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.680
<v Speaker 1>stuff they're not spoke about when I was struggling kind

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:07.240
<v Speaker 1>of thing, and then actually be the person who actually

0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:09.239
<v Speaker 1>talks about it, because so many people when it comes

0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:12.320
<v Speaker 1>to mental health, they kind of they talk about it,

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:14.280
<v Speaker 1>but they don't really talk about it. They take the

0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:17.960
<v Speaker 1>long way, most vague way to talk about it because

0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.120
<v Speaker 1>they don't want to hurt any feelings or they don't

0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.720
<v Speaker 1>want to get too touchy or too close to those

0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:28.320
<v Speaker 1>delicate conversations. And I really just want to pinpoint it

0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:31.520
<v Speaker 1>in a way that makes people actually feel heard, because

0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:33.880
<v Speaker 1>you can talk to anyone about mental health, but if

0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:36.520
<v Speaker 1>you don't talk about the specific stuff, they're not really

0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:38.360
<v Speaker 1>going to feel like heard.

0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:41.760
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, well let's talk about the specific stuff. Have

0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:43.840
<v Speaker 2>Broke Me, which is the name of the new song

0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 2>before we play out the show with the tune lovely,

0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 2>do you want to just tell us a little bit

0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:48.400
<v Speaker 2>more about what inspired it?

0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Sure Broke Me is just capturing the intense emotions of

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:58.120
<v Speaker 1>a breakup, especially the first breakup. I feel for everyone,

0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:00.880
<v Speaker 1>the first wife always the worst because you don't know

0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:02.880
<v Speaker 1>what to expect, so all of a sudden, there's all

0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:04.920
<v Speaker 1>these emotions and you don't know what to do with it,

0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 1>and you have to navigate that. And also it broke me.

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:12.360
<v Speaker 1>While I was writing it, I was obviously crying. It

0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:15.120
<v Speaker 1>was written in like maybe an hour, because that was

0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:21.159
<v Speaker 1>right after the breakup. I wrote a song, So yeah,

0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:23.800
<v Speaker 1>while I was writing it, I also realized all these

0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:28.520
<v Speaker 1>things that you look past all these like little mistakes

0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.240
<v Speaker 1>or little things that they did that kind of put

0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:34.840
<v Speaker 1>you off, but you didn't say anything because you were

0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:38.200
<v Speaker 1>like so in love and infatuated about this person. And

0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:40.800
<v Speaker 1>then later on you realize, damn, I really shouldn't have

0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.279
<v Speaker 1>actually looked past those things because those are the little

0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:46.840
<v Speaker 1>things that eventually broke it in the end, And that's

0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.919
<v Speaker 1>where it broke me came from and just feeling totally

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:53.920
<v Speaker 1>shattered in pieces, and yeah, it's really just the deep

0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:57.160
<v Speaker 1>dive into those horrible feelings you feel when you've just

0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:57.960
<v Speaker 1>been broken up with.

0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:00.479
<v Speaker 2>I'm really sorry you went through that, But can I

0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.680
<v Speaker 2>just say what sweet revenge to take all of those

0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:06.800
<v Speaker 2>feelings and turn them into a wonderful song that gets

0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:08.960
<v Speaker 2>to be played on the radio. I can't wait think

0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.279
<v Speaker 2>of a bet away of taking the lemons and making

0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:13.760
<v Speaker 2>lemonade lovely. We're going to play out the show with

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:16.039

0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.520

<v Speaker 2>an eye for more of your music.

<v Speaker 1>Yes, so you can find me on Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, anywhere.

0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:37.279

<v Speaker 2>not too far from now, Lovely, and look forward to

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:42.880
<v Speaker 2>hearing more music from you on the other side of them.

0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:45.440
<v Speaker 2>For now, though, we say goodbye from our show with

0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:56.080
<v Speaker 2>the new track called Broke Me Allow Me a Dan.

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:01.280
<v Speaker 1>It was bad man,
