Speaker 1: Cut I was just, you know, was going through some

44
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: situations and I had to you know, like I say,

45
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: all the song like I write about how I feel,

46
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,800

47
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: carry over into my album. In the same thing is

48
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: that you do a song cause should have been there

49
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: and then you put your boyfriend on it. I did,

50
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: like the song about your X man, I mean, oh yeah,

51
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,320

Speaker 1: who have what conversation? I want you to get on

55
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: the song about my old bue. What I mean, This

56
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: is the thing when it comes to like work, I

57
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,839
Speaker 1: don't tell him how to do his business. He don't

58
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: tell me how to do mine. So I got this record,

59
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: I want you to get on. You get on it,

60
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: you get on it. We cut so he got should

61
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: have been there? Well exactly, he listen here. That's it's

62
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: like Baylor, basically, it's like, kudos to you because you

63
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: was there and you got it right. So did he

64
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: do a verse this and your old boyfriend? I mean,

65
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 1: you know, he went in a little bit, but you know,

66
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: it won nothing crazy. But so what happens when you

67
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: put this epl cause should have been there songs like boomerang,

68
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: which I think is my favorite thing, one of my

69
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: favorite songs on him too, Um boomerangs about what you

70
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: think boomerang is about? But you tell me what do

71
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: you think boomerang is about? About throwing something out there

72
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: but to keep coming back to you? I mean you're

73
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: not far boomerang, Um sweat him boy. Boomerang is just

74
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: basically talking about um, you know, going through with somebody.

75
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: It's like how many times you think you're gonna be

76
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: able to come back? So that's a Boomerang's like, okay,

77
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: no more boomerang, you know what I mean? Like that

78
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: should have brought your ass home, Like basically, so I'm done.

79
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,679
Speaker 1: It's over with. Treat you like a brick, not a boomerang,

80
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: you know, kind of it as far as you can,

81
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: as as you can and get the hell away. So,

82
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: now what happens when you put out this EP and

83
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,760

86
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,000

87
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,640

88
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,800

90
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: felt the way that you felt, because a lot of

91
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: times y'all go deeper in your music than you actually

00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: because you know you say you being certain, Uh, I

154
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: guess spaces. Yeah, so, but once you're out of that space,

155
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: do you I don't like that record no more. Yeah,

156
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: that happens, Like that's real life. You don't wake up

157
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: in the same way every day. So it's the same

158
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: thing with writing records and things like that. Would you

159
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: Nbob do a tour together like Nikki and meet? I'm open, absolutely,

160
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: I would. I would do a tour because I heard

161
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: you don't write your own stuff and heard Bob right,

162
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: is that what you heard? You know? I could write

163
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: a little verse, you know, I'm like, could write one

164
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: of his verses while you play them. But it's differ

165
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: for R and B artists. I mean, clearly you write

166
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: for other people. That's never an issue, right, we don't

167
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: expect you. It is a little it's a little different.

168
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: It's definitely different for R and B artists, But um,

169
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, but I definitely I can write some

170
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: rappers though, don't get it. Don't so you write Bob stuff.

171
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: Don't get it twisted. I've said I've joked him about

172
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: that before. I'm like, you know, I could write you

173
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: a verse if you need that, I need it. Yeah,

174
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: I could do that. But you know, I do your

175
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: real baby hairs that you put active, now, these are

176
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: my real baby hairs. That's it's real life activated. I

177
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: don't know what that is. Girls put activated on the

178
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: edges to give the illusion to that. How do you

179
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: know about that? Because he used to do that back here.

180
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: That's why I asked you, like, hmm, make sure to

181
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,599
Speaker 1: me your real baby head. Yeah, you see his eyebrows.

182
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: I think his eyebrows got activated. It's real. Now. Did

183
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: you see a big difference? And I know when you guys,

184
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 1: first everybody was like, oh, it's seven and Bob dating.

185
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: At first, it seemed like people was hating on you all,

186
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: but then it seemed like people got adjusted and was like, Okay,

187
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: stay cute together. I mean, people are always gonna have opinions. Um,

188
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: your personal life is your personal life, and I like

189
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 1: to you know, we we just live our lives the

190
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: other day. We were in our relationship and then we

191
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: do our music. Like for me right now, I'm just

192
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: in a music head space. It's all about music. It's

193
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: all about you know, my form of R and B. Like,

194
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 1: it's just all about that for me. So that's where

195
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: my head is. Are you experimenting with a different sound

196
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: on a new album? Um? You know what? That's why

197
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: I wanted to put out the should Have Been There

198
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: Part one because it kind of gives you a taste

199
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 1: of what my album is gonna feel like, you know

200
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's not too far off. I may

201
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: experiment with a few more sounds, but it's definitely not

202
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: too far off. But I just I just have to

203
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: get music outs. That's very important to me. Isn't it

204
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: hard dating another artist because y'all might have little fights

205
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: and might end up in a song just because I mean,

206
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: if if it happens, it happens, you know what I mean?

207
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: That that's real life at the end of the day. Like,

208
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: if if we get into a fight, he can write

209
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 1: a record about it, I don't care, because I'm definitely

210
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: gonna write one yard Jesus Christ, No, I'm serious. It

211
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: might be it should have been there part two. But

212
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: if you write about other chicks he smashing and stuff,

213
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: and then you like, hold on, you can't put that.

214
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: He's like, now it's just a song. Um, see, then

215
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: we might have I'm not anymore. So what you said

216
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: in that verse really, oh word, okay, we're gonna have nah. Honestly, Um,

217
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: artists art man like that, yeah, because you know some

218
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: of the things is old and us oh they better

219
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: be old. Listen. You know, as a woman who writes,

220
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: do you respect artists less when they want help? No,

221
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't respect artists less at all. Because

222
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 1: you know what a lot of people don't realize is

223
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: that with you know, artists who do righte Um, sometimes

224
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: you get so busy it's impossible for you to write

225
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: everything right. You can't write everything like even I'll be

226
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: all the way honest, even when people are like, you know,

227
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 1: getting on seeing about Drake, you know, having ghostwriters and

228
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 1: stuff like that. It's really hard sometimes, Like at the

229
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: end of the day, when Drake first came out, Drake

230
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: didn't have a ghostwriter, and we thought he was amazing.

231
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: So if he has one now, it would be okay,

232
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: Like I feel like you know what I mean, but

233
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: you never really a ghostwriter if you get credited, because

234
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: that ghostwriter is like a ghost. Is that you know,

235
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: you don't even get a credit on the album. You

236
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: get paid, You get paid, no one knows, it's a secret.

237
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 1: But when you get somebody credit, is that really a

238
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: ghost right now, when you give somebody credit, they're they're

239
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: a co writer, you know what I mean, Like they're

240
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: a co writer with you. But in the case where

241
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: there is a co writer, I mean a um, you know,

242
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: ghostwriter for whatever. Artists I think that I understand it.

243
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: People ya don't. It's hard to explain, but people get

244
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: really busy. Artists get busy, and you gotta do a

245
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: verse for this person, a verse for this person. You

246
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: gotta be on this TV show, you gotta be on

247
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: this tour, and a lot of times, you know, you

248
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: still oversee everything, you know what I mean, Like it

249
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: can't sit down and sometimes you honestly sometimes you can't.

250
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 1: Like it's it gets really busy. So I don't have

251
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: an issue with that. And people don't make it easier

252
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: too though, Like when somebody gives you a I guess

253
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 1: a reference track and they got the Cadence down. Well,

254
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: I don't just yeah, exactly add your own, because I

255
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: you know, I have writers give me verses and things

256
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: all the time, and I literally I go through weed

257
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: out what I don't like, putting what I do, like

258
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: chains of Cada's taints, the melody, like that whole type

259
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: of thing. People ever ask you to write for them,

260
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: but don't but want you to just not get your

261
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: credit and just give you some money. No, they ain't stupid,

262
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: They ain't stupid. No I would, Yeah, I would never

263
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: do that. But what about starting out? You know, sometimes

264
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: like to get aren't even producers. You work under somebody

265
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: and they get kind of the credit for it, but

266
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 1: you get I mean, you know I started out pretty

267
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: much under Chris, and Chris never did that to me. You,

268
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: I mean, he never did that to me whatever I

269
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 1: was a part of, even if if I only wrote

270
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: a couple of lines, he still made sure that I

271
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 1: got my name was in the credits, and I got

272
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,599
Speaker 1: the publisher that I deserved. So I've never gone through that.

273
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: It was the biggest song you've written. The biggest song

274
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: is probably The Way by Ariana Grande, Right, oh yeah, well,

275
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 1: or wait, maybe yet? Three times is either YEA three

276
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 1: times or the way because YEA three Times had like

277
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: a lot of licensing, like we got it was it

278
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: was yeah, and it was played on like a lot

279
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 1: of you know, TV shows, commercials things like that. Don't

280
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: remember it's Chris's Chris's record. Yeah. No, that's like a

281
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: double man speriment thing you are, No, No, that's that's

282
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: the polo record. Yes, no, it's a pop record. Yeah,

283
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 1: it's right. Is that? Oh? That was good? Are you

284
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: still right? Are you still writing for other people now?

285
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: Are just only focused on yourself? No, I'm definitely still

286
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: writing for other people. I just got back into it,

287
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: you know, pretty much because i've been working on you know,

288
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: I should have been there part one. I've been working

289
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: on my album and things like that. But I actually

290
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: I've been having sessions with Diddy that have been absolutely amazing.

291
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 1: When I tell you, I didn't I didn't think that

292
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: I could learn so much in a session. My god,

293
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 1: like what like literally like, I, um, I'll throw out

294
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: a melody and he was like no, no, no like that.

295
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: I need I need to feel it. I gotta feel it.

296
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 1: I need I need to feel like you know that.

297
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: That's just like some new wage like cadency type stuff.

298
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: And I didn't realize that I wrote that wrote that

299
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 1: way sometimes, which has been a learning lesson for me. Like,

300
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes we get caught up in a gotta

301
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: center like that type of you know, like that rap

302
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: catus and we do that a lot these days. And

303

Speaker 1: he was just like, I don't want that, like I

304
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,120

Speaker 1: you sing to the chords? Like can you put give

306
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: me a melody to the chords? And that was a

307
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: lesson for me because I didn't realize that I was

308
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: writing that way. So those sessions have been absolutely amazing.

309

00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: writer with me, you know what I mean? Because I

315
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: as much as we feel like we do understand, a

316
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: lot of times we don't know what the hell going

341
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: something that I have an issue with, I'm like, yeah,

342
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: it looks as I have to no genre on the

343
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: back of it. Hey now, hey, baby left the toilet

00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: seat up again about not dealing with this no more. No,

345
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,040

346
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: Like you know, a lot of times y'all feel like

347
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: you know men. I've heard men say all the time, Oh,

348
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: we can't read your minds. We don't know what you're thinking.

349
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: So he ain't got to never worry about seven yea. Ever,

350
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: the album is out right now to ep ya should

351
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: have been their part one a record, right? Would you

352
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: charge you? Absolutely? That's it's a business. Nobody you would

353
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: do a record for for free, but you got you

354
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: do that was if that was a trade off, you

355
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Like if it's like, oh, you

356
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: give me a feature, I get you a feature, or

357
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: you give me a record, I get your record. That's

358
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: that's when things are like, okay, that's kind of negotiable.

359
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: But as a writer, no, I think that. Honestly, I'm

360
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: all about people being fair in terms of you know,

361
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: business publishing, whether it's um like honestly, even to go

362
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: all the way into like you know, Tyrese talking about

363
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: how you know the state of R and B and

364
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: things like that, I think that you should let give

365
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 1: people what they'll do. And I think that that's really

366
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: really important, you know what I mean, even in terms

367
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: of like this whole just R and B period, Like,

368
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: I just think that that's very, very, very important. What

369
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: if you got a call from Michael Jackson right on

370
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: his new product, That's impossible, that would be impossible. You

371
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: get your publishing, you get paid through publishing. What heaven

372
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: would you still charge him? Now? I want seven to

373
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: clisle any seven to class something up because you cast

374
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: some issues last time you were here. Hi, Okay, shut

375
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 1: up now, you're absolutely not. You had said, I think

376
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: when you commit to somebody and you take them off

377
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: the market, I think it's your job as a woman.

378
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 1: I don't think you should ever say no. People were

379
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: upset about that. She said, I'm talking about if you're

380
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: tired or somebody's like I'm tired. No, because at the

381
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 1: end of the day, you took that person off the market,

382
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: they can't go and be with someone else. So you

383
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: don't ever say no, clear that up and let people

384
00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: know exactly. People were furious. I mean, I still behind

385
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: whate like, I don't want I don't know if they

386
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: expect me to change that or not. It's not gonna

387
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: people were so mad about that. But the thing is,

388
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, because I definitely I feel like it

389
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: goes both ways. It's for men and for women. It

390
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: goes both ways. So I still stand behind that. I

391
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: ain't Obama. No, But if he has crads, would you

392
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: tell him no? He say, oh my god, I'm not

393
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 1: even getting You're still gonna do it? What? No, that's

394
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: crazy right that she takes it back. She doesn't stand

395
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: by its involved. She takes it back. But man, listen. Okay,

396
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: So back to the music. Back to the music. I

397
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: fire the new album coming along. Now the EPs out

398
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: she didn't be in their part one. Make sure you

399
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: get that. I love it. Yes, So with the actual album. Now,

400
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: what's the timeline. The timeline is according to my soul clock. No,

401
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: it's according to how I feel. And I really do

402
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 1: mean that. Like I said all the time, I don't

403
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: apologize for taking my time with my first album. I don't.

404
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 1: I think that it's a it's it's not. I don't

405
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: take it lightly that I have a record deal, right,

406
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Because I've had three before,

407
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: two before this in girl groups. So I don't take

408
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 1: it lightly that I have a deal. I don't take

409
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: my first album. I take my first album very seriously.

410
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: So it's gonna come out when I feel like it's right.

411
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: Don't mean I'm gonna have you waiting years. That's not

412
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: gonna happen. But it has to feel right, and it

413
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: has to be right. So when the meantime should have

414
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: been there, part one, it's here, you know. I just

415
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: you have to. I don't feel like she don't have

416
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 1: an album now yet, though it feels like a lot

417
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: of a lot of fans say that, and a lot

418
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: of people say that, but and I'm glad they do,

419
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: because I don't never want to leave my fans without music,

420
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. That's important. I don't want

421
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: to leave them without music. So I I you know,

422
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 1: I make sure I put as much as much music

423
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: out there as I can. Just don't get pregnant first.

424
