27
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 1: we want to take some time to intro this season

28
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,360

Speaker 2: So let's talk about our brand new theme for this season,

31
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:36,839
Speaker 2: love at first Listen.

32
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 1: It's so cute. It's one of my favorite themes. They're

33
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 1: all my favorite themes. Each year it's my favorite theme.

34
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: Each year gets cuter and cuter and cuter and cuter.

35
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: And this season we owe our new theme to our listener,

36
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: longtime listener shout out Kaarina Monroy. She's been listening since

37
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 2: the beginning of the podcast, all the way back to

38
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 2: our very first season, and she recently said on Instagram

39
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: that listening to lok At thought our radio was quote love.

40
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 4: At first Listen, and we just loved that quote.

41
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: I DMed Garina and was like, girl, can we use

42
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: this to brand our season nine? And she said yes,

43
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: and so we want to shout her out. So thank you,

44
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: girl for the inspo, And I think that leads us

45
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: to talk about what love at first listen means. I

46
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: think it also encapsulates what lok At Radio a radio

47
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: Farna has been since twenty sixteen. It's been a community space,

48
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: community driven, a digital community space, if you will, where

49
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: I think our listeners have been able to learn more

50
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: ways to love themselves and love their culture, love their community,

51
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: and love is so complex. It's not just romantic platonic.

52
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: Oh I'm so in love with you.

53
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 3: I love you.

54
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: It's like I love you and I want to make

55
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: you better. I love you and I want to push

56
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: you to be the best version of yourself.

57
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 3: I love you. So we're going to unpack these things

58
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 3: on look at thought.

59
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 2: A radio absolutely and not only love of self, but

60
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: I think you all have learned to love us specifically

61
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: as individuals, as hosts, as artists, as people, and for me,

62
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 2: I think love it first Listen is also about how

63
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 2: you guys have loved the show through all of the

64
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 2: stages and all of the seasons. From our super duper

65
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 2: indie era when our sound quality was not the best,

66
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 2: you still loved the topics, the conversations and the guests.

67
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: You loved the talks about politics, sex and feminism. And

68
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: now you can also love the sound quality and the

69
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 2: production quality, which has just gone up and increased. I

70
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 2: think we've gotten better and better every season. We've really

71
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: figured out our sound and our flow.

72
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and with that, we're also changing it a little bit.

73
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: This season will still be archiving and interviewing the stories

74
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: of our community of our guests, but we're also going

75
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: to switch it up and the ways in which we

76
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: conduct interviews will also be a little bit different. So

77
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: we're really excited to kind of play this season and

78
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: really tap into like the creative side of look at

79
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: our radio in the audio. I think we're very creative

80
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: with visuals, and I think we over the past seasons

81
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: have gotten very comfortable in our format, and so we're

82
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: pushing ourselves to be more creative this year with the

83
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: format and so a lot of things will stay the same,

84
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: but there will be some things that will be new

85
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: and we're really excited to roll those out and they'll

86
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: be on a rolling basis all season.

87
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 2: So in addition to the amazing guests and artists and

88
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 2: creatives that we bring on for our interviews, we will

89
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 2: be inviting some of our favorite journalists and organizers to

90
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 2: have their own sort of mini segments on look at

91
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 2: Our Radio.

92
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 4: So those will be rolling out later this season.

93
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: The biggest update I think for season nine is that

94
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: our audio editor, Stephanie Franco is joining us as a producer.

95
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: Has been editing our podcast for the last two seasons.

96
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: She's been working behind the scenes before that as well,

97
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: but we're really excited to bring her on as a

98
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: producer officially for look at Our Radio. And this is

99
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: a really big deal for us because we've been executive

100
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: producing ourselves for eight years now, we have never really

101
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: asked for help. We've never really gotten creative input from others.

102
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: We're obviously open to suggestions from our listeners, but to

103
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: have someone else in the mix kind of pitching ideas

104
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: and moving us along is new to us, and I'm

105
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: really excited to see what that will bring for us

106
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: this season.

107
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 4: Absolutely.

108
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 2: I mean, first of all, not to brag, but most

109
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 2: of your favorite podcasts have like big old teams behind

110
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: the show. There's the hosts, but then in addition to

111
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 2: the hosts, there are different levels of producers and managers

112
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 2: and writers and sometimes fact checkers. And we really have

113
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,239
Speaker 2: been pretty self contained. Once we joined the mich Wultura

114
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 2: podcast network. That really expanded our resources and the team,

115
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 2: and Stephanie has been this really constant part of our

116
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 2: process for some time now and we couldn't do what

117
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 2: we're doing now at this level without her. So we're

118
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 2: really excited to just continue to grow and to continue

119
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 2: to bring more art into the world. As you know,

120
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 2: with every new season comes a new visual trailer, new music,

121
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 2: new sound effects, and season nine is no different. We

122
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 2: want to shout out Jessica Magaanna Redheart Media, who is

123
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,760

00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 2: set design, at videography and cinematography and at editing, and

Speaker 2: Check out our season nine visual trailer, our visual promo

00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,640

00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,119
Speaker 2: we always do. Another person that we want to shout

131

Speaker 5: That's the team.

141
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, a small but mighty team. And while we've been away,

142
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,559
Speaker 1: we've been we've been busy, we've been off, but we've

143
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: not been off at all.

144
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 2: Right, because off season is really just prepping for the

145
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 2: next season.

146
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: Yes, and not only that, I can share with y'all

147

150
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: all I can say right now, but just know now

151
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: there's an official launch date. We've been kind of teasing it,

152
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: but for so many different reasons, it got pushed back,

153
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: and so we're super excited to see the show out

154
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: in the world very very soon. And we can talk

155
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: more about it and the process because it was a long,

156
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: long process, even pre Michael Thura Das, So we will

157
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: talk more about that later. But we were working on

158
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: that too, and Mala was in grad school and I

159
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: was running a marathon. Like we were busy working and

160
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: living and working.

161
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 2: And living one And that show I think is an

162
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 2: example of don't throw your ideas away, because that's an

163
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 2: idea that started with just a name, just the name

164
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 2: of a potential show, and now it's become a fully

165
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 2: fledged co production with a team that is coming out

166
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 2: in August. And yeah, I think that's where everything starts,

167
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 2: is with an idea. Keep your ideas and remember that

168
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 2: you have a volt of ideas because you can always

169
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 2: go back to them. Somebody just might ask you, do

170
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 2: you have more things? Do you have more is there

171
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 2: more material is or do you have more ideas? Actually, yes,

172
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 2: we do, so I don't know. Be inspired by us.

173
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 4: We are the proof.

174
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: Yes, I am constantly inspired by us. I'm inspired by

175
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: Mala constantly, the way she puts herself out there with.

176
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 3: Her acting, with her film.

177
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: During our last episode of last season, Mala alluded to

178
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: being in a sketch comedy show called Single Writers.

179
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 3: I went out.

180
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: Of course, I always go to I try to go

181
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: to all of Mala's things that she does for the

182
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 1: first time, like first time laugh Factory. I'm there, maybe

183
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: not the second time, but I'm there for the first time.

184
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: And so she did this sketch comedy show. And I

185
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: was so so impressed by you. Obviously, I know you're

186
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:56,840

00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: and doing this sketch comedy like, I admire it so

190
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: much because I don't have that in me, Like I

191
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: don't have that desire to do that, but I respect

192
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:10,880

Speaker 5: Yeah, thank you.

197
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 2: Let me return the compliment because you literally ran a

198
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 2: marathon and so I went with you to Zion when

199
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 2: you ran how long was that ring that was in?

200
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 3: That was thirteen miles? That was in twenty twenty two.

201
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I went with you to Zion to see

202
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 2: you run that race, and Brianna was also there. This

203
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 2: time around, you literally ran the La Marathon and you

204
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 2: like beat your own like pr that you were like.

205
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 4: You know, I think you were.

206
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 2: You were working with your coach and you set a time,

207
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 2: like a goal time, and you beat it and you

208
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: did not stop running. You run the entire twenty six

209
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 2: point two miles, which also like I don't know, I

210
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 2: don't have it in me. It's just not in me.

211
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 2: You know, so I I was just so inspired by you.

212
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 2: I like wanted to cry.

213
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm like, oh my god, she dad hat.

214
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 2: And your mom was there and your friends and it

215
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 2: was just so fun and exciting and like, what a

216
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 2: huge accomplishment that like, very very, very few people in

217
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 2: the history of the world have accomplished. You know, when

218
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 2: we think about like relative to the population of humanity,

219
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 2: not that many people have completed marathons.

220
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the stat is like less than one

221
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: percent of the population runs a marathon. And it doesn't

222
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: feel that way to me because it feels so skewed.

223
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: Now that I'm like in a running community, I'm like, yeah,

224
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: everybody's running marathons, but actually no, actually nobody's running marathons.

225
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 4: No, it's pretty wild.

226
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 3: Yes, thank you.

227
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 4: You are an elite to athlete.

228
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 3: Thank you, girl. I'm not, but thank you. I'm elite

229
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 3: to you.

230
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 4: Yes, I love me. You are the elite.

231
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 2: You are at the top of the top. So you know,

232
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 2: look at us, look at us just doing it.

233
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: Yes, we were busy off season, busy making new shows,

234
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: busy work in running the streets of a literally literally

235
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: and doing sketch comedy and being in grad school and podcasts, podcasting.

236
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 2: It's just I'm just so happy for us, Like, look

237
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 2: at I do think I like this little life.

238
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 4: Look at what we've made. Yes, it's cute.

239
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 3: It's cute like five years ago, dude.

240
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I'm in a place now to really

241
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: appreciate the life that we've built. I think last year

242
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: when I was twenty twenty three, yeah, being in grad school,

243
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: and then the years before that, juggling all the jobs,

244
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: it's really hard. I mean, it's really easy to take

245
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: it for granted to not be grateful because you're so tired,

246
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: you're so busy. And I think now I have so

247
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: much space in my life in a very positive way

248
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: that I can actually like this little life, and I

249
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: can actually be grateful and appreciative and see what's in

250
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: front of me as opposed to always running to the

251
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: next thing. Yeah, so it's given me that perspective too.

252
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, we can sort of now, we can focus in.

253
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 2: We're expanding and adding but also focusing. Yes, at the

254
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 2: same time, I think we used to do a lot more,

255
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 2: and the pandemic changed this. Of course, nothing is the

256
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 2: same after the pandemic, No, nothing.

257
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 3: We're not the same we're not the same.

258
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 2: But as a show, we used to do a lot

259
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 2: more like in person events and hosting and parties and

260
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 2: and that is not has not so much been part

261
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 2: of our lives, not to the degree that it once was.

262
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 2: But I think we've gotten way deeper into like the

263
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 2: craft of what we do and the process and the

264
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 2: practice and like honing the skills and adding new skills

265
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 2: to like really become very professional creatives.

266
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I think before it didn't matter if we

267
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: were going to run ourselves ragged and working at my

268
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: house until two in the morning every day, we were

269
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 1: going to get the live show done. We're going to

270
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: get look at that Aliva podcast party done. We were

271
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: going to build our own sets.

272
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 2: And we did and we didn't It was so fun.

273
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 1: And I think that served that stage of our lives.

274
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: And while we still love the live shows, we still

275
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: want to do more live shows in the future. I

276
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: think it's not just us it's changed, but it's also

277
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: our listeners, Like our listeners aren't necessarily out and about

278
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: the way they were either, because you also changed during

279
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: the pandemic, right, It wasn't just us, And I think

280
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: the way people show up has changed. And so just

281
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: changing with the times, navigating all of us, maturing all

282
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: of us growing up.

283
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 3: Like, oh yeah, it's changed.

284
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 4: It's changed.

285
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 2: Our listeners have children they like if they were in

286
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 2: school when they started listening. They have advanced degrees now

287
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 2: they're doing incredible work in their own fields. It's just

288
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 2: really it's been fun. We've all kind of grown up

289
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 2: over the airwaves together in this way.

290
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why we're archiving our present.

291
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 2: And shifting culture towards the future.

292
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: Because not only that, I mean, in addition to what

293
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: you're saying, adding to what you're saying. Thinking back, I

294
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: was looking at the comments when we had Curly and

295
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: Maya last season, and someone commented, I've been listening to

296
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: y'all since high school. Wild love it, but like we've

297
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: really been doing it for that long that people have

298
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: graduated high school and maybe have graduated college. Also, yeah,

299
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: I mean it's been eight years, so yeah, you could

300
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: have actually listened to us beginning of high school to

301
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: end of college.

302
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 4: So true genres. Basically, yes, we have raised children.

303
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 3: We're mothers.

304
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 4: We're a mother.

305
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 3: Tell your mother that we are mothers.

306
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 4: You have other mothers and it's us.

307
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: Don't go anywhere. You don't want to miss our interview

308
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: with Nataria la Foga. Stay tuned, we'll be right.

309
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 5: Back and welcome back.

310
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 2: We have such a fun, exciting special interview for you

311
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 2: all today on this episode of Look at Our Radio,

312
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 2: and we did something that we don't always do. We

313
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 2: recorded our interview on location in the field. We went

314
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 2: to our interview guest and it was quite the whirlwind

315
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 2: actually just getting there and being there. The interview itself

316
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 2: was an experience in and of itself. Us I take

317
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 2: us there, walk us through it.

318
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: Earlier this year, we were invited to sit down with

319
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: Natali la Forgade and of all days, Los Angeles has

320
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: hit with a storm. Local news stations are advising the

321
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: public to stay inside, but we had an interview to do,

322
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: so we drove to Stony Studios.

323
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 2: Anyway, at first we were concerned because there was like

324
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 2: a super long line like of people waiting to get

325
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 2: into the studios and we, you know, have a deadline

326
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 2: and Natalia only has a certain amount of time with us.

327
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 2: So we got there super early and we see this

328
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 2: long line and we're like, oh my god, do we

329
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 2: need to wait in this line to check in? But no,

330
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 2: it was for what wheel of fortune.

331
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: We're in the lobby, we're waiting for our tiny little

332
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: crew to arrive. This is one of the biggest artists

333
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: that we've interviewed us far, and because of that, we

334
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: decided we have to bring a crew with us. I

335
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: can technically record for us remotely, but I don't want

336
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: to risk it.

337
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 3: I don't want anything to go wrong.

338
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: So our friend Thelma captured behind the scenes content and

339
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 1: our friend and journalist Megan tan audio engineers that session

340
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: for us, and she makes us so comfortable.

341
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 3: She makes sure to get all the right audio volume.

342
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: Everything the tape is good. Lia, okay, but I know no, no,

343
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: we're good ready, Yeah, Natali, how are you feeling today?

344
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 6: Well, very good, very happy. I love the rain.

345
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 7: That's that's normally the weather where I live in Beragruz.

346
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 6: It trains a lot and I love it. I love it.

347
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 6: I'm very happy to be here.

348
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 2: It's a beautiful day and we're thrilled to be here

349
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 2: at Sony with you to talk about your music, the

350
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 2: Grammys and everything in between.

351
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, everything in between, that's right.

352
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 4: So thank you for sitting down with us today.

353
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 2: We have tons of questions we're so curious about your process,

354
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 2: your journey, the Newest Music and this nomination.

355
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 6: Thank you so much. It's a pleasure. Thank you.

356
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: So just to get us started, I want to ask

357
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 1: you about the making of this album. I read and

358
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: I learned that you recorded it on analog tape. Yeah,

359
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: that's right, tell me more about that.

360
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 7: That is something I wanted to do since very long ago.

361
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 7: You know, I was listening very like a lot of

362
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 7: music from Ella Fitzieral Billie Holiday, Joiny micho Eta, James,

363
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 7: I don't know, like there were so many inspirations in music.

364
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 6: And I realized those albums from.

365
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 7: The past were recorded that way and that it was

366
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 7: also live like live music, real like not click, very organic,

367
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 7: everyone in the same room. Those albums. I really like

368
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 7: those and I never tried that on an album. Maybe

369
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 7: the one that has most more that kind of recording

370
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 7: is the musas that I did with De Macorinos. It

371
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 7: was almost everything done like at once, like we all together.

372
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 7: But for this album, I was talking with the producer

373
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 7: about having this type of recording sessions at Sonic Crunch,

374
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 7: and that's how we did it, and it was amazing.

375
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 6: It gets you in a mood.

376
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 7: It gives you a lot of adrenalina because you are like, okay,

377
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,239
Speaker 7: like if if I make any mistake, my goal on

378
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 7: the tape. We only had probably eight tapes because they're

379
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 7: pretty expensive, and the budget was just like one budget

380
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 7: we had, so it was like this is what we got,

381
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 7: twenty minutes per tape. So it was probably four or

382
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 7: five takes for each song of the album. So that

383
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 7: was good for us because we were very you know,

384
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 7: focused and present and given all our best that we

385
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 7: could give for every track.

386
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 6: So it was really special and different for me.

387
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 2: And how did improvisation figure into the recording of those

388
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 2: tracks or were you super rehearsed, super prepared or did you.

389
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 4: Go in and just like let it rip.

390
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 6: Not really that much rehearsal.

391
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 5: I wish we had.

392
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:48,360
Speaker 7: That because there's no I mean, there's only like two

393
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 7: songs on the album that now I listen to them

394
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 7: and I am like, maybe a little faster would have

395
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 7: been better for the song. It gives you this vibe

396
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 7: like very but Ada the producer, he didn't want me

397
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 7: to rehearse a lot, to practice a lot with the

398
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 7: band that we had, and we had great musicians, we

399
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 7: had Mark Ribot with us, which is like one of

400
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 7: my favorite guitar players.

401
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 6: We had a million other ants.

402
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 7: He comes from a very great background in music because

403
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 7: he normally plays like classical music, so he was bringing

404
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 7: all that context and music to the project.

405
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 6: Then we have Cereal Adep and he was.

406
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 7: Really like good, good drummer, Like I loved the way

407
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 7: he played. So everyone Sebastian Samber and also me on

408
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 7: the guitar, so it was all of us at once,

409
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 7: and Adam was saying, like the importance, which I believe,

410
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 7: to the importance of having like something coming from who

411
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 7: knows what plays It's just like something is coming through

412
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 7: us at the moment. But to do that, like you,

413
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 7: at least, I had to prepare a lot myself with

414
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 7: my guitar, my songs, like almost like knowing the song

415
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 7: in my memory and I'm playing.

416
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 6: Like just like that.

417
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 7: But I didn't have that much time, so I really

418
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 7: was like very present and I had the lyrics in

419
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 7: the front, and there were moments I couldn't even play

420
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 7: the chords because I didn't know what I was going

421
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 7: with my guitar, you know. But that was beautiful because

422
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 7: then I was letting somebody.

423
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 6: Else, like to come into the song and play.

424
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 7: The right court ride at the moment when I wasn't playing,

425
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,479
Speaker 7: you know, so it was like, I don't know, it

426
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 7: felt like a dance, you know. It was really like

427
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 7: very strong connection between us and presence and inspiration and

428
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 7: this wonderful room we had.

429
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 3: It sounds very collaborative.

430
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:58,959
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I think yeah, it was very very like

431
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 7: sharing what everyone was able to give at the moment,

432
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 7: you know, but also finding the right thing to do

433
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 7: for the song, for the song, for what the song

434
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 7: is telling, and just to give it to give it up.

435
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 2: You mentioned listening back to some of the tracks, some

436
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 2: of the songs and maybe hearing things that you would

437
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 2: have changed.

438
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 4: Does that happen often?

439
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,239
Speaker 2: Do you have music that you listen back to it

440
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 2: and I don't actually I don't like it that much,

441
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 2: or don't include it in the album or years later,

442
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,199
Speaker 2: does it sound different to you?

443
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, most of the time, but from maybe more from

444
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 7: the very first moment of my.

445
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 6: Path and my career.

446
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 7: I think I was listening to the first album maybe

447
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 7: two months ago.

448
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was just like, I want.

449
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 7: To remember nostalgia, nostylist, nostalgic. I got very nostalgic, and

450
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 7: I was like, I'm going to listen to all the

451
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 7: albums I made, just I just like I want to remember.

452
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 7: And I w was listening the first the first one,

453
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 7: and I actually liked it, you know, like for many

454
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 7: years I would like, I don't like this as well anymore,

455
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 7: and I don't know, I was fighting with my own

456
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 7: music in.

457
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 6: A way or the way I was doing it.

458
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 7: But then I realized how much every album of my

459
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 7: career is very of the moment. Come feel very loyal

460
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 7: to the moment that I was leaving and I was having.

461
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 6: So of course there's little things.

462
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 7: I am like, I wish I could change this because

463
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 7: it's recorded and it's going to be there forever. But

464
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 7: at the same time, I'm glad I can't because it's

465
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 7: something special from the moment. Comuna Photographia, yes, and archives

466
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 7: and archives yes, yes, a musical.

467
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 3: Art musical archives.

468
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

469
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

470
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 1: I love that, because that's a great transition to this

471
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: question that I have for you. That too was released

472
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two, and obviously we're twenty twenty four

473
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 1: now you're gearing up for the Grammys. How do you

474
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 1: think the album changed you or how have you changed

475
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: since this album has been out in the world.

476
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 7: I don't know how you say that in English, but

477
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 7: it's like Upartia was moment in my life before and

478
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 7: after the tataas Flow is because this album is probably

479
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 7: the most personal album I've done so far, maybe another ones,

480
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 7: but for me, when I finished this one, I was like,

481
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 7: I don't know if anybody's going to connect to this

482
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 7: music because it's so my story, my broken moments. It

483
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,719
Speaker 7: definitely comes from a broken moment, you know, when you

484
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 7: are heartbroken, but then it's your life. It's not the

485
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 7: same for everyone around, but for you, it's like I

486
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 7: need to start all over again. And that encounter, would

487
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 7: you say, comanquentro that like having to reinbent my world,

488
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 7: my universe. That's why I use the metaphor of the

489
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 7: garden because it's like you go back to your own

490
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 7: inner garden and you need to search it.

491
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 6: You need to see what's in there.

492
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 7: You need to you need to to, yeah, reinvent yourself.

493
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 7: So I found it so beautiful to do that, and

494
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 7: for me, this album was my my teacher, my my master.

495
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,199
Speaker 7: In the sense of the lyrics of the songs. There

496
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 7: were songs I didn't know what I was writing. I

497
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 7: was just feeling very broken, like Partito, just very simple

498
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 7: and basic message like just be happy, like you came

499
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 7: to this life and to this world to leave a

500
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 7: human experience and to be happy, like just get out

501
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 7: live your life. I don't know, like be happy like that.

502
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 4: In a way.

503
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 6: There was something around me saying like come on, girl,

504
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 6: like do it, you can go. It was so simple

505
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 6: that I thought I'm not gonna use the song. It's

506
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 6: so basic. Then Adan was saying like, no, this, this

507
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 6: must be in the album.

508
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,040
Speaker 7: This is really important for the story of all the

509
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 7: songs and what's in there. So I am very grateful

510
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 7: to this one and I take it as I was

511
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 7: reading the book last night, trying to yeah, reconnect, you know,

512
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 7: because it's months since I record the album and we

513
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 7: finished the tour and then I knew I was going

514
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,479
Speaker 7: to have interviews, and I just feel like sometimes I

515
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 7: forget everything. So I was trying to remember the process,

516
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 7: and I was reading the text door and I was

517
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 7: finding like very like important information in there. So I

518
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 7: think this is going to help me the rest of

519
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,959
Speaker 7: my life to go back to my roots, my inner

520
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 7: world and universe and take care of that garden.

521
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,639

573
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 7: the Sisters Projects of the Todda's Last Floors in this album,

574
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 7: when I was in the studio, I felt like I

575
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 7: had so much to tell, so I was like, Okay,

576
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 7: I want to do a podcast, and I want to

577
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,719
Speaker 7: make a book, and I want a movie and I

578
00:30:58,760 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 7: want the music.

579
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 4: And I didn't.

580
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 7: Realize how much work that was going to be, so

581
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 7: it was crazy.

582
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 6: I mean, we don't have the movie done, and we.

583
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 7: Had the visual art for the shows. We're trying to

584
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 7: figure out if that's going to be video clips, probably

585
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 7: because I didn't have video clips, and this project lyric

586
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 7: videos but not really video clips. And this book is

587
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 7: like an album, like it's like photos or I'm gonna

588
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 7: give it a fear so you can just take it.

589
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 7: It's it's all the process of the album, you know,

590
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 7: I wanted to I don't know, I wanted to share

591
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 7: it this time. And it's the lyrics of those the songs.

592
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 7: Here is the map of the different projects of the album,

593
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 7: moments at the studio recording. The music does interview Spanish, English,

594
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 7: and also the lyrics Spanish and English.

595
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 2: I love this so much. It reminds me back in

596
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 2: the day when and music would come out in a

597
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 2: CD and there would be a booklet with photos and

598
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 2: lyrics and credits and interviews, and you could flip through

599
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 2: while you're listening. Is that sort of the energy and

600
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 2: the intention behind this?

601
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 6: Totally? Love it, totally. I was concerning a lot the.

602
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 7: Fact that nowadays people don't have that. Yeah, music is

603
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 7: different now. You can't get to see the lyrics and

604
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 7: the papers and all that.

605
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 6: So I was thinking small.

606
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 7: Size, so it would feel like Instagram stories. Yeah, but

607
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 7: you will keep it and it will tell you secrets

608
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 7: as you move through the story of the pages, the

609
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 7: stories on the pages and the lyrics and.

610
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 6: The hand writing, and it's like a diary.

611
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 4: Like handwritten pages.

612
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that's right.

613
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, you really let us into the project, not only

614
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: with the book but also the podcast, which I think

615
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: is quite unique that you made a podcast that accompanies

616
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: the album and you're talking about the process.

617
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 3: So what was your.

618
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: Vision behind creating these multiple projects for this one album.

619
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 7: I think I wanted to get closer to the audience.

620
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 7: First of all, I wanted my followers to feel like

621
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 7: they were in my living room in my house, in

622
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 7: my studio and we were having a conversation, and that

623
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 7: I was going to have the opportunity to explain and

624
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 7: tell them the story behind, but not in a way

625
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 7: like it just like fast, like right now, right like

626
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 7: we're having a conversation, we're connecting each other, but I

627
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 7: gotta go or you gotta go, and it's very fast.

628
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 7: So I wanted to connect deeper, to go beyond with

629
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 7: the story behind the music. So I guess I was

630
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 7: just trying to find that way. And then while I

631
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 7: was producing podcast, I was like, whoa, this is a

632
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 7: lot of work and it's gonna take us days, might

633
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 7: bi months.

634
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 6: And it was like that. It was like months doing

635
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 6: that because I was doing that for the very first time.

636
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 7: But then I wanted to have people coming to the

637
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:23,760
Speaker 7: podcast talking friends, and I was like, whoa, no, no, no,

638
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 7: crazy work.

639
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 6: But I had a lot of fun doing it.

640
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 2: I love that you're podcasting. You've made a podcast, You've

00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,600

Speaker 7: At first, I was like, they talk a lot, and

651
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 7: now they're very good. But it's so funny you talk

Speaker 7: about now your girls do really really good.

653
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 6: I really liked it.

654
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 7: I don't know, like I don't listen very often to podcasts,

655
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 7: and I don't to be honest, like I had very

656
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 7: very little time for for sometimes, like and whenever I

657
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 7: have the time, like I just go silence or I

658
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 7: just go play my piano my guitar and do those things.

659
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 7: Sometimes people ask like do you did you watch any

660
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 7: TV show or and I'm like, really, I don't do that,

661
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 7: Like I go to my tree and I just spend

662
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,720
Speaker 7: time on my own and go to my My free

663
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,280
Speaker 7: time is like other things.

664
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 6: So I'm not so like aware, But now I was.

665
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,760
Speaker 7: I was listening to your podcast and I was also

666
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,240
Speaker 7: listening to Broken music.

667
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I really liked it too. It was really good.

668
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 6: So I don't know.

669
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 7: I'm taking the opportunity to come always whenever I'm doing interviews,

670
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 7: and that it's a good opportunity for me to see

671
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 7: what's going on because then I go and search what

672
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 7: I'm going Yeah, and the interviews I'm going to have,

673
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 7: like to see what's people doing.

674
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: So you're kind of describing like you're off time, you're downtime.

675
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: What do you do on your days off? If you're

676
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: not touring, if you're in between projects. How are you

677
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: taking care of yourself?

678
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 6: That's a nice question. I love it. Take care of yourself. Yes,

679
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 6: I tried to get the balance. I work a lot.

680
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 6: My project is demanding.

681
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 7: I guess it is for you as well, Like to

682
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,839
Speaker 7: have your project, your podcast might be a lot of work.

683
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 6: I guess it is like that.

684
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 7: I try to make a good balance, you know. I

685
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 7: Lately I've been realizing a lot the fact that being

686
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 7: the artist that I am right now and the musician

687
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 7: and the songwriter and the woman I am right now,

688
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:55,359
Speaker 7: it has been like a lot of growing the last years,

689
00:36:55,960 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 7: and it's demanding. And it's also like there's two arts

690
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 7: in the game right Like when it's like, oh, I

691
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 7: am the artist and I am the person that wants

692
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 7: to be inspired and write music and just to I

693
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,720
Speaker 7: don't know, to have time to hang out with my friends.

694
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 7: That's so important for me to connect with people because

695
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 7: that gives me a lot for writing. Then I am

696
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 7: a business woman as well. I realized that, like I

697
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 7: can't run away from that fact. It's been for me

698
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,879
Speaker 7: like a journey of learning how to deal with that,

699
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 7: because sometimes it's like I don't want to be this,

700
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 7: but you need to be like that in order to

701
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 7: grow and.

702
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:42,320
Speaker 6: To go forward.

703
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 7: So it's beeen a lot for me like that journey

704
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 7: and learning experience, and I am loving it. I think

705
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 7: I'm finding a place where I can say, like, Okay,

706
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 7: I'm going to off and I'm going to do this

707
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:57,760
Speaker 7: for myself.

708
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 6: But I realized that to be my space. Recently, I

709
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 6: just started like playing saxophone. I don't know how to

710
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 6: play it.

711
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 7: I'm really bad, but you know, like that time of

712
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 7: just doing like.

713
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 6: It's like, I love it.

714
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 7: So much for me, it gives me so much generally

715
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 7: that I can go back to the emailing and all

716
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 7: the things you know of my own project and my team.

717
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,439
Speaker 4: Can we expect a jazz album in the future.

718
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 6: Me too? You know, like I really I wish, I wish.

719
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 7: I need to find a really good balance so I

720
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 7: can study it needs you need to study a lot

721
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 7: for that.

722
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 2: Instrumental So you have found much success here in the

723
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 2: United States. You've performed in Carnegie Hall, You're Grammy nominated,

724
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 2: you work with Sony, You're here all the time, and

725
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 2: you have a lot of fans here in the United States.

726
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 4: I'm super curious your.

727
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 2: Thoughts on what it takes for like a Mexican American

728
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 2: artist to find success in Mexico. Over the years, there's

729
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 2: been many There's like Selena Kidania. More recently Yalizai Suessencia

730
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 2: Becky g gone and performed in Mexico with different degrees

731
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 2: of success and acceptance. What do you think is like

732
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 2: the secret ingredient, the secret sauce to crossing over into Mexico.

733
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 7: Into Mexico, I think for in every context, maybe I

734
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 7: will say to really connect to people. I think that's

735
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 7: the ingredient in general, to really find a way you

736
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 7: go to different cultures, ways of living, people.

737
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 6: Like the way they are like.

738
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 7: It's it's a journey for me, has been like that

739
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 7: in the United States. I remember twenty years ago the

740
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 7: first time I came, and how many experience and things

741
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 7: that happened before I can come and give a concert

742
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 7: to five dozen people, nine thousand people. It's crazy, like

743
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 7: I think I didn't imagine like that before. You know,

744
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 7: I don't know to be at Hollywood Bowl with Doda

745
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:19,320
Speaker 7: mel like things like that. For me, it's like a dream,

746
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 7: but it takes time and you need to be passionate

747
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 7: about it and you need to give your love and

748
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 7: your time and dedicate a lot to it to have that.

749
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:33,320
Speaker 6: So that's what I did.

750
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 7: And I think in Mexico people are so beautiful and

751
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 7: open heart for people, people from other places to come.

752
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 7: But you just need to find a way to connect

753
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:49,320
Speaker 7: to the culture, people the way of living and that

754
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 7: would be okay.

755
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 1: I love that, thank you. So final question, what's giving

756
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 1: you hope right now?

757
00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 7: Well, when I see what music does to people, it

758
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 7: gives me a lot of hope just to see the

759
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 7: transformation that music can make to inside our hearts or

760
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 7: our souls or person For me, that's.

761
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 6: All you know.

762
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 7: For me, music is my boss, it's my teacher, and

763
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 7: there's so many good values that you can see in

764
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:24,280
Speaker 7: the music.

765
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 6: When when an orchestra.

766
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 7: Explaining music, when a band they're getting together, they're connecting,

767
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 7: they're doing the chemistry between each other in order to

768
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 7: bring someone.

769
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,839
Speaker 6: Better than all of us.

770
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 7: But the beautiful thing is that that magic comes and

771
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 7: then we become better because we are all together as one.

772
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 7: So I found that so beautiful, like you give a

773
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 7: concert and then the people are all together singing the

774
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 7: same song, like hulling each other, dancing forgetting about like

775
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 7: I don't know whatever, but just being present, you know,

776
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 7: and that gives me a lot of hope.

777
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 6: That's why I believe so much in music and the

778
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 6: music power.

779
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:14,960
