You don't and him to completely 19 00:01:15,773 --> 00:01:18,853 Speaker 5: throw some shade and say things like I wish you 20 00:01:18,853 --> 00:01:20,693 Speaker 5: could look in the mirror because if you did, you'd 21 00:01:20,693 --> 00:01:24,773 Speaker 5: see the problem as you Yeah, but then as you 22 00:01:24,773 --> 00:01:29,573 Speaker 5: can hear through this one, just that super catchy upbeat jam. 23 00:01:29,773 --> 00:01:30,133 Speaker 3: Yeah. 24 00:01:30,173 --> 00:01:32,853 Speaker 5: It's got some cool high hat things.

There 31 00:01:51,173 --> 00:01:53,893 Speaker 5: is a standout on this play album. Don't worry, though, 32 00:01:54,213 --> 00:01:56,253 Speaker 5: there's plenty of tracks on here for people to still 33 00:01:56,293 --> 00:02:01,133 Speaker 5: get married to. I mean, if Ed Sharon didn't give 34 00:02:01,213 --> 00:02:04,373 Speaker 5: us some new first dance tracks, there would be something wrong. 35 00:02:04,493 --> 00:02:05,213 Speaker 3: Yeah. 36 00:02:06,373 --> 00:02:07,733 Speaker 4: There's literally a song called the Vowel. 37 00:02:08,413 --> 00:02:10,373 Speaker 3: Oh wow, okay, yeah, it's on the night. 38 00:02:10,413 --> 00:02:13,253 Speaker 5: I mean he's just making it real obvious that it's 39 00:02:13,293 --> 00:02:16,373 Speaker 5: okay you can still Yeah, yeah it does. 40 00:02:16,413 --> 00:02:18,493 Speaker 3: It works for Ed, you know, it works for only 41 00:02:18,693 --> 00:02:20,853 Speaker 3: three billion couples around the world.

I don't know, 57 00:02:56,893 --> 00:03:00,213 Speaker 5: but I just I feel like it in an interview 58 00:03:00,253 --> 00:03:02,613 Speaker 5: as a joke, but that's kind of become where he's like, no. 59 00:03:02,453 --> 00:03:06,373 Speaker 4: No, true, I do have a posthumous album. But whenever it. 60 00:03:06,373 --> 00:03:11,693 Speaker 3: Happens interesting, it is interesting. I mean what because yeah, 61 00:03:11,813 --> 00:03:13,853 Speaker 3: maybe I mean maybe if he's you know, throwing a 62 00:03:13,893 --> 00:03:15,773 Speaker 3: little bit of shade in this, maybe that's going to 63 00:03:15,773 --> 00:03:18,173 Speaker 3: be like each here and does death metal or each 64 00:03:18,213 --> 00:03:24,413 Speaker 3: Hear and does like, you know, really aggressively. 65 00:03:24,133 --> 00:03:25,933 Speaker 4: Where everyone's like, way, I thought this. 66 00:03:25,853 --> 00:03:28,053 Speaker 3: Guy was a nice guy.

He 77 00:03:48,893 --> 00:03:51,173 Speaker 5: sort of pushes some real boundaries with what he's doing. 78 00:03:51,493 --> 00:03:53,333 Speaker 5: You'll have already heard that he's doing, you know, some 79 00:03:53,413 --> 00:03:57,133 Speaker 5: influence from Persian culture and then Indian culture with some 80 00:03:57,173 --> 00:03:59,693 Speaker 5: of the musical kind of tracks and vocals that have 81 00:03:59,773 --> 00:04:03,533 Speaker 5: been used, but in true Fred Again style.
