Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Team podcast

2
00:00:10,573 --> 00:00:39,573
Speaker 1: from News Talks at B.

3
00:00:35,013 --> 00:00:39,373
Speaker 2: That is hesher the song is delusional. She just released

4
00:00:39,413 --> 00:00:42,413
Speaker 2: a brand new album to coincide with the fourth of

5
00:00:42,493 --> 00:00:45,853
Speaker 2: July in the US. The album is called Period, and

6
00:00:45,933 --> 00:00:49,253
Speaker 2: it is the first album she's released as an independent artist.

7
00:00:49,253 --> 00:00:52,293
Speaker 2: Stelle Clifford, music reviewer, is with us this morning.

8
00:00:52,373 --> 00:00:55,933
Speaker 3: Hey Stelle, Yeah, Calder Period as a full stop like

9
00:00:56,173 --> 00:00:58,293
Speaker 3: d Shearon, you know, he's doing like plus minus all

10
00:00:58,293 --> 00:00:58,973
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff.

11
00:00:58,973 --> 00:01:00,293
Speaker 2: Because I was trying to work this out. Is it

12
00:01:00,773 --> 00:01:03,293
Speaker 2: period and a full stop? Is that the name of

13
00:01:03,293 --> 00:01:07,453
Speaker 2: the album. So it's just that's just a period, So yeah,

14
00:01:07,493 --> 00:01:11,133
Speaker 2: because Americans say period right the end of that period?

15
00:01:11,413 --> 00:01:11,813
Speaker 1: Yeah?

16
00:01:11,653 --> 00:01:14,773
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah. And it's a great place, isn't it Market

17
00:01:14,813 --> 00:01:17,173
Speaker 3: in the set? No, we're clear now Market in the sand.

18
00:01:17,293 --> 00:01:20,373
Speaker 3: She's gone there like nearly decades with the drama with

19
00:01:20,493 --> 00:01:23,453
Speaker 3: Doctor Luke, and she's finally out of her contract. She

20
00:01:23,533 --> 00:01:25,733
Speaker 3: had to wait about six months until she was allowed

21
00:01:25,773 --> 00:01:28,413
Speaker 3: to make and release music again. So this is an

22
00:01:28,413 --> 00:01:32,373
Speaker 3: album she's released under her own record label, and she

23
00:01:32,573 --> 00:01:34,533
Speaker 3: says that her goal for it was to create a

24
00:01:34,573 --> 00:01:37,853
Speaker 3: safe space for people to feel fully embodied and liberated,

25
00:01:38,333 --> 00:01:41,773
Speaker 3: unfeltered and fearless. Now it's not just unfiltered at times,

26
00:01:41,813 --> 00:01:44,213
Speaker 3: it's actually a bit unhinged. So if you think of

27
00:01:44,253 --> 00:01:47,653
Speaker 3: the hot mess of keshow in like twenty ten when

28
00:01:47,693 --> 00:01:50,053
Speaker 3: she was brushing her teeth with a bottle of jack,

29
00:01:50,613 --> 00:01:53,733
Speaker 3: we are kind of right back into that, Like that

30
00:01:53,893 --> 00:02:00,173
Speaker 3: is her, that's her pop. Yes, don't count the years.

31
00:02:00,213 --> 00:02:03,773
Speaker 3: It's okay, but how cool.

32
00:02:03,933 --> 00:02:07,413
Speaker 2: I listened to her this morning. I listened to it

33
00:02:07,413 --> 00:02:09,253
Speaker 2: this morning, and because I love that song. You see,

34
00:02:09,413 --> 00:02:12,573
Speaker 2: TikTok is the song that Estelle's referencing here. I love

35
00:02:12,613 --> 00:02:14,453
Speaker 2: that song. It's such an earworm. And I was like, oh, yeah,

36
00:02:14,493 --> 00:02:16,933
Speaker 2: it's been you know, I do love that song. And

37
00:02:16,973 --> 00:02:19,493
Speaker 2: I mentioned it to Libya producer in Libby Cid. Yeah,

38
00:02:19,533 --> 00:02:22,413
Speaker 2: that was the best song at my year eight disco

39
00:02:22,733 --> 00:02:23,613
Speaker 2: for God's sake.

40
00:02:25,693 --> 00:02:29,613
Speaker 3: I mean, we've bonded over music different eras, but we've

41
00:02:29,653 --> 00:02:31,053
Speaker 3: bonded over music. Where we heard it.

42
00:02:31,173 --> 00:02:33,093
Speaker 2: I would have seen it was about three years old

43
00:02:33,093 --> 00:02:34,613
Speaker 2: if you'd ask me, I would have seen the years.

44
00:02:34,653 --> 00:02:36,533
Speaker 2: She really said about twenty twenty two, you.

45
00:02:36,493 --> 00:02:40,133
Speaker 3: Know, apparently the time. I think the great thing is

46
00:02:40,133 --> 00:02:42,453
Speaker 3: she's gone back to that, but we really loved her

47
00:02:42,453 --> 00:02:46,533
Speaker 3: and she was really fully embodying that just power like

48
00:02:46,573 --> 00:02:48,173
Speaker 3: and just say it how she means it. I mean,

49
00:02:48,213 --> 00:02:51,133
Speaker 3: she's full of swears on this album, so it's quite explicit.

50
00:02:52,213 --> 00:02:54,893
Speaker 3: But I think that she comes from, you know, fully

51
00:02:54,933 --> 00:02:57,573
Speaker 3: tongue in chic with her lyrics in where she's going.

52
00:02:57,613 --> 00:03:01,133
Speaker 3: Sometimes it's a persona. I don't think she's tongue in

53
00:03:01,213 --> 00:03:05,253
Speaker 3: chic and her belief now in her her self praise

54
00:03:05,373 --> 00:03:08,573
Speaker 3: in her recognition of surviving some pretty icky stuff to

55
00:03:08,693 --> 00:03:10,893
Speaker 3: her career, and it really puts some brakes on it.

56
00:03:11,093 --> 00:03:12,853
Speaker 3: So this is her being like, well, I'm back just

57
00:03:12,853 --> 00:03:15,733
Speaker 3: doing what it is I like to do. And yeah,

58
00:03:15,773 --> 00:03:19,853
Speaker 3: like I say, unhinged electro pop. At times, she's doing

59
00:03:19,853 --> 00:03:22,333
Speaker 3: that thing that everyone's trying where you throw in some

60
00:03:23,173 --> 00:03:27,613
Speaker 3: pop country. There's a song called Yippie Kaye doesn't follow

61
00:03:27,693 --> 00:03:31,733
Speaker 3: through with a full die hard quote. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

62
00:03:31,813 --> 00:03:33,693
Speaker 3: but it's very you know, if she was doing it

63
00:03:33,693 --> 00:03:36,053
Speaker 3: with Shaboozie, you wouldn't be surprised because that's kind of

64
00:03:36,053 --> 00:03:39,373
Speaker 3: where everyone's at with that country pop crossover. Some big

65
00:03:39,573 --> 00:03:45,373
Speaker 3: catchy riffs, choruses, delusional there has got that kind of sentimental,

66
00:03:45,453 --> 00:03:48,853
Speaker 3: powerballity thing that kind of surprises you a little bit,

67
00:03:48,893 --> 00:03:51,973
Speaker 3: like it's not all. I've sort of summarized this album

68
00:03:52,013 --> 00:03:54,573
Speaker 3: as being a bit fluty and dirty because I feel.

69
00:03:54,293 --> 00:03:57,133
Speaker 2: Like, Okay, I like that, Yeah, fluty and dirty.

70
00:03:57,693 --> 00:03:59,493
Speaker 3: That's kind of where she's at. And she's sort of

71
00:03:59,573 --> 00:04:02,813
Speaker 3: back doing that, and I wonder like, is everyone ready

72
00:04:03,493 --> 00:04:05,653
Speaker 3: okay to go back to where we were in twenty

73
00:04:05,693 --> 00:04:07,533
Speaker 3: twenty five? And I think we are?

74
00:04:09,293 --> 00:04:09,693
Speaker 2: Yeah.

75
00:04:09,773 --> 00:04:12,253
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I just I think that's what she does

76
00:04:12,613 --> 00:04:15,613
Speaker 3: really well. I don't know that she's pushing boundaries sonically

77
00:04:15,773 --> 00:04:19,213
Speaker 3: in pop music. She's definitely pushing buttons.

78
00:04:20,213 --> 00:04:22,373
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I kind of love.

79
00:04:22,253 --> 00:04:25,453
Speaker 3: Her for there's some This opens with a song called Freedom,

80
00:04:25,653 --> 00:04:26,853
Speaker 3: and I think love has got a little bit of

81
00:04:26,853 --> 00:04:29,533
Speaker 3: it actually here it's got this piano surge and very

82
00:04:30,173 --> 00:04:33,533
Speaker 3: hypnotict whales and then her big voice that comes through

83
00:04:33,853 --> 00:04:44,573
Speaker 3: listen like you kind of almost don't expect this, like

84
00:04:44,653 --> 00:04:47,493
Speaker 3: a jelcky kind of big vocal. And then it turned

85
00:04:47,533 --> 00:04:50,173
Speaker 3: into like acquire sing along featuring a sex chop and

86
00:04:50,213 --> 00:04:52,773
Speaker 3: some swears. So you know what I mean.

87
00:04:52,813 --> 00:04:58,333
Speaker 2: Like the album, yeah, okay, so what did you give it?

88
00:04:58,813 --> 00:05:01,493
Speaker 3: Yeah? For me, Look, I think it's I think it's good.

89
00:05:01,493 --> 00:05:03,133
Speaker 3: I think she can push more. I'm going to give

90
00:05:03,133 --> 00:05:04,213
Speaker 3: it a seven out of ten.

91
00:05:04,773 --> 00:05:07,173
Speaker 2: All right, I'm looking forward to because obviously I'm a

92
00:05:07,213 --> 00:05:09,013
Speaker 2: bit of a Keisha fan from way back. So seven

93
00:05:09,053 --> 00:05:11,533
Speaker 2: out of ten for period. But Kesha is free. She's

94
00:05:11,813 --> 00:05:14,973
Speaker 2: recording music under her own independent label, which I'm sure

95
00:05:15,013 --> 00:05:17,093
Speaker 2: she's delighted about. Thank you so much, as seal. We'll
