00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:36,320

Speaker 1: they they find love through their eyes and we find

43
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: love through our ears. So you have to talk to

44
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: me a little bit, and I have to show you

45
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: a little something there that's interesting. This is your first

46
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: album in a while. Um yeah, So Beautiful Surprise was

47
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: three years ago, okay, and now love Life. Yeah, the

48
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: first album, this album, So Beautiful Surprise. I was independent

49
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: and then on def Jam. Now for this project, or

50
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: made you come back to the major label? You know,

51
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,399
Speaker 1: major labels suck. Now. It's not like you don't say

52
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: that to me. They're kind of like a I use

53
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: them like a rich uncle. You know. Yeah, it's kind

54
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: of like a we have a joint venture, so I

55
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: still have my company as well. So, um, you know,

56
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: but they've been really awesome. I know it goes against

57
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: the establishment, but they've kind of let me just do

58
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: my thing to rich uncle, meaning you take money, don't

59
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: get back. Uh yes, oh yeah, that but I you know,

60
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: that's why we're partners in it. So did your husband

61
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: ever would be like, man, chill out, man, I'm rich.

62
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: You don't got to get back on that road radio

63
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: and that No. No, he knows how much I love music,

64
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: and you know, it's not really all about the money.

65
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously a check, it's good. But you know,

66
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: I love music, I love performing, I love touching people

67
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: through music, and I think that it's important that I

68
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: have something that's my thing as well. And it's popping already,

69
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: like that's this thing I have my thing, And I

70
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: think that also keeps things spicy as well. Were you,

71
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: um uh cautious about dating a ball player back in

72
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: the day? Um? You know this was before social media, yes,

73
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: Basketball Wives and all of those things. So, um, I

74
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: don't know. You know, you know how we met. I

75
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: saw Anita Baker at at a Soul Train music award. Yeah,

76
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: and she said, I'm telling you now, and she said,

77
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: I know this guy that'd be great for you. And

78
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: she had spoken to him at some party or something

79
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: and somehow my name came up, so I kind of

80
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: I kind of met him through a friend. So yeah,

81
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: what do you think about Basketball Wives? Now? You mentioned

82
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: it the show? What do you got a yea? Is

83
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: it still on? They just put out the trailer for

84
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: the season. Okay, they just put out they just put

85
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: out the trailer. Okay, I didn't see it. Um, you know,

86
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: because you once said that wasn't reality. Um it wasn't

87
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: our reality? No, yeah, I mean you know it's it's

88
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: obviously it's really their reality. But um, you know, I

89
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: think everyone has things that could do well on television

90
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: in their life. Um, you know that's kind of salacious enough.

91
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: It's just do you want to do that? They have

92
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: approached you. Yeah, absolutely all the time. Really yea, even

93
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: now even but you guys could have your own show absolutely,

94
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: you know, and I could see that happening. Yeah, um no, no, no, no, no,

95
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: absolutely not um because you spotlight so uh yeah, no,

96
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: we just it's just not something you know that that

97
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: we're into. Um, you know, yeah, never gonna happen, I

98
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: don't think so okay. No. Jermane Precor produced your single Still,

99
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: and he said that Sierra stolen is that what he's

100
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: used it for her song? I bet the beat. I

101
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: have to listen to it. I didn't. I didn't I

102
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: didn't write I didn't write it, so nobody I listened

103
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: to it. No, I listened to the song, but I

104
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 1: didn't hear that. I didn't hear that. I didn't hear

105
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: the connection with still, So I have to listen to

106
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 1: it even more to hear the connection with Still. So

107
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: we're Claire. Yeah, yeah, do you like the music? I do? Yeah,

108
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: she's a sweet, sweet girl. Yeah, I'm just trying to

109
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: clean it up for Yeah, she's very nice, beautiful girl. No,

110
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: she's she's really nice. She's looked over here, like, so

111
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: let's go. But you are back on the road now

112
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: doing shows and everything, getting ready to promote this album

113
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: that's coming out in June. Yeah, June ninth. Yeah, so

114
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: I'm back kind of performing and and doing promo and

115
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 1: things like that. So where did you film the video?

116
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: But we filmed the video somewhere in California. Okay, it

117
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: looks like it's somewhere completely different. I was like, where

118
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: is it. Yeah, it's somewhere in California, on the side

119
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: road somewhere. Even't it a little harder to promote now

120
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: because back in the day it was just all about

121
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: the music. But now people want to know so much

122
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: about your personal life. They want you to be transparent,

123
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: right it is. I mean it's certainly changed. And as

124
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,799
Speaker 1: an artist, it's hard to find that sort of fine

125
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: line between, you know, wanting to share things and still

126
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: wanting to be your own person and knowing when to stop.

127
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: And as a parent, as well, knowing how much to

128
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: share and how much not. You know, I don't have

129
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: a thirteen year old and a seven year old. Then

130
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: they're already embarrassed of us because we're their parents. Oh

131
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: it's a good one. Just wait, yeah, they're they're you know,

132
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: just we're their parents, so you know, um, so for

133
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: them as well, it's just, you know, a matter of

134
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: knowing when to pull back on sharing certain things. You

135
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: were asking a question this one and on the topic

136
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: on the radio was have you ever what's the freakiest

137
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: thing you ever seen your parents do? Everybody was calling

138
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: in saying how they caught their mom and dad having sex. No,

139
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: I didn't see. My mom was a single mom, so

140
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: I didn't see any of that. The kids haven't ran

141
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: up on you, And if they did, they didn't say

142
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: anything about it. They'll probably call it ten years from now.

143
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: Daddy told me you up. We had a we had

144
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: a random conversation the other day in my house. We

145
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: were listening to Tamiya and we were talking about that

146
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: So into You song and when it first came out,

147
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: because then we had a debate, like, no, it came

148
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: out earlier than that, but then fab took it and

149
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: made it am I guess it was. You had your

150
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: single and then he made it his single, which was

151
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: a little different years later. Yeah, so so I was like, no,

00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,000

161
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: it usually, you know. Usually it was during the season, so,

162
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: um no he doesn't. He didn't. He didn't come to Sandwi,

165
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: explain to everybody what MS is. Oh, okay, it's it's

166
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: it's kind of a lot of things. It's one of

167
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: those things where it's In two thousand and three, I

168
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: was diagnosed with multiple scirrols is um It's an autoimmune disease,

169
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: so it kind of attacks your immune system, but it

170
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: mimics a lot of other things like lupus and things

171
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: like that. So um, and everyone's different. How did you know? Uh?

172
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: You know, I was promoting I think officially missing you,

173
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: and I was really tired, which we all are, so

174
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: that wasn't a clear symptom to me. Um and um.

175
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: I was really sensitive to heat, so I would get

176
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: really heated and kind of neurologically kind of lose my

177
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: function to like writeing things like that. And so that's

178
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: where I really started to think that something was wrong.

179
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: One of my really good friends is diagnosed with MS,

180
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 1: and it's been really bad because she has two kids, right,

181
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: and she's so bad that she can't really even walk

182
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: down the black It takes it like an hour just

183
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: to walk down one black. Yeah, and she has to

184
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: take all these different hormones. It's been really tough for her.

185
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: But then Montell was on here the other day. Obviously

186
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: he said he smokes weed. He definitely helps him out

187
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: a lot. No the voice, and she seems pretty good, right.

188
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: Rihanna's vocals were bad for a minute, but they sounded better.

189
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: They sound really good now, So how do you cope

190
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: with it? Um, well, you know, I think with Montell

191
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: he has he has pain, and so I think the

192
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: weed is good for the pain. Right. Um, I don't

193
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: have pain or anything like that. And I've been actually

194
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: very good. I do a lot of like homeopathic things,

195
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: and I have a regular doctor and I have a

196
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 1: homeopathic doctor, so, um, we do different types of of

197
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: you know, therapies and things like that. So I've been

198
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: good since two thousand and three. That's great. And my

199
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: family had a rough time and her husband's cheating on

200
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: her and oh yeah, and stress exacerbates everything, right, And

201
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: then she felt like she couldn't do anything about it

202
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: because she can't really even like, you know, how old

203
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: is she. Um, she's probably like thirty four or something.

204
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: She's pretty young. Still. She was actually hiring quaw girls

205
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: off of a website that stress and yeah, that's stress.

206
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: I mean, stress will kill you. I could they have sex, though, Um,

207
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: you don't want to ask your girlfriend sex while she's

208
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: battling something like him herds it. I mean, she's been

209
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: having a really rough time, like she can't pick her

210
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: kids up. She feels you know, she can't. Yeah, but

211
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: she doesn't want to leave her husband because She's really

212
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: nervous about it because she's like, now, what am I

213
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: supposed to do? You know, it's not like you. It

214
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,959

223
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: good like relationship goals as people say, Yeah, I mean

00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: He supports me, Um, I support him. Obviously. I'm not

227
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: the same girl I was that you know, twenty five

228
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: when we got married, and he's not the same guy.

229
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: And we you know, our dreams change, our goals constantly change,

230
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: and it's all about supporting each other and and and

231
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: and being there for each other. And you both have

232
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: still been successful in working so that helps too. Yeah, yeah,

233
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: it does. You've had to fight a white girl's white

234
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: girls love. No, no, they they've never tried it. But

235
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: to me, it was also that check that everybody was on,

236
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So that had to be

237
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: hard for him too. I'm sure. No, everybody is pretty much.

238
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: They're pretty respectful. I mean, if something happens and somebody

239
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: says something, or it's a girl, then you know he

240
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: has to politely say hey, or if it's a guy,

241
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: you know, I need to kind of you know, check it. Yeah,

Speaker 1: on my very first project. Really yeah yeah, wow, Yeah

246
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: he's been Do you feel like you have to adapt

247
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: to whatever the sound is now? Not necessarily No. I

248
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 1: think that, Um, that's kind of where artists kind of

249
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: fall in a trap. I think you kind of you

250
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: have to stay true to who you are as a sound,

251
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 1: and vocally you can kind of, you know, you can

252
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: kind of vocally adapt, but you should never kind of

253
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: change who you are. Did you ever come to you

254
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 1: with records already written like and it's like twerque, twerque twerk. No,

255
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: I mean you know I might be able to twerk,

256
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: but I mean you know, it's just as I'm working on.

257
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,599
Speaker 1: I'm working on it's not cute right now. Um but

258
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,360

259
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: no one. They've never sent that to me. Now, how

260
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,760

Speaker 1: children take over the television most of the time, and um,

296
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: they're usually wanting us to watch them do something, you know,

297
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: some sort of acting, singing something. So okay, that's nice. Yeah,
