15
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:57,080

Speaker 1: used to live in Perdido, like I mean, then we

21
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: I grew up going there. That's what the family vacations

22
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: were because we couldn't, you know, afford to fly anywhere,

23
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 1: so you had to drive. And the coolest place to drive,

24
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: you know, just a few hours away, was the best

25
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,560

Speaker 3: So it gives them a chance to see the world,

103
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 3: throw away from their parents because a lot of them

Speaker 2: is he just one the He just doesn't care.

157
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: And a lot of boys revert.

158
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 3: I mean it's very common when you they revert back, like,

159
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 3: it's very common. That's kind of body draining. Very common,

160
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 3: except for a daughter because he's apparently.

161
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: Perfect, she's perfection. But yeah, I mean so airplane rides,

162
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes you get to the next place and

163
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: all of a sudden they've pooped and all up their back.

164
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: I don't understand how it creeps up to their mid back.

165
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but it just does. You know, it's it's

166
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: not good, especially if you're landing. You can't get up

167
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: and you're just kind of sitting in it, and then

168
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: everyone around you. You're like, I am so sorry, but

169
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: that's just you.

170
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: Know, Okay, So Alexander needs to be re potty trainer?

171
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 2: Do they say they work it out? Like how does

172
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: that work?

173
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: They say, Look, they're not ready until they're ready, So

174
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: there's no way of forcing him. Look, we know he

175
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: knows what to do, what to do, He knows what

176
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: to do, he just doesn't want to do it. So

177
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: until he's ready, until he's like I don't want to

178
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: sit in poop, then he's not gonna do it.

179
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 3: He's like like him and like regular people in flossing.

180
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 3: You're like, I know I should, but like.

181
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 2: Okay, that's fair. I was more thinking like he was

182
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 2: Heath Ledgers, the joker as he's walking away from the

183
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 2: hospital exploding like he doesn't care.

184
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: He does do that.

185
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 3: He'll look back and be like and like give you

186
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 3: a look, and I'm like, why did you just do that?

187
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 3: Was like a threat to me.

188
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, It's funny how you can just read their faces,

189
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: especially him, like he just you know, like you know

190
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: exactly what he's saying, thinking what he's about to do.

191
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: He's such a stinker literally literally like he was. He

192
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: was me. You know, I have that kid, you know

223
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: And this is a book I've been thinking about for

224
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: years and it took forever to I mean, it took

225
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: us three years to get this published. But you know,

226
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: I've tested it out with them because they do loved

227
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,640

236
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,400

317
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 2: a bit of a ham, but he enjoys it and

318
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,360

322
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: All right, I have to do your intro and see

323
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: which of this is actually true, because sometimes they're just

324
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: not well. I would say eighty percent of the times

325
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: are not really true. We're just a little off Wikipedia.

326
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: It's like every time you do. And Jesse, I don't

327
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: know if this happens to you, but anytime you read

328
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: an article on yourself, how many times has it been

329
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: hundred percent truthful?

330
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 4: It's usually not not at all.

331
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: I've never read one thing and just the slightest thing,

332
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's like, oh, he was born here, No,

333
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: I wasn't born there. Oh he was twelve, No, I

334
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,840

335
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,680

Speaker 2: And unfortunately we don't have any more time left and

373
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 2: I'm out.

374
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: Welles, I want to know, since we're talking about your writing,

375
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: when did you know that you could write?

376
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,199
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know. It was definitely one of

377
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 4: those things. I certainly didn't start out as a songwriter,

378
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 4: you know. When I was signed also so young labels

379
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 4: as you know, a very apprehensive about letting their young

380
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 4: pop artists go in and write their own records. But

381
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 4: I just started working with a lot of really talented

382
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 4: songwriters who were working on my albums and learned a

383
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 4: lot from them. I would say by the time I

384
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 4: was like eighteen nineteen, I started like writing decent songs,

385
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 4: like songs that I thought were good, and then by

386
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 4: the time I was twenty, writing songs that I think

387
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 4: were valid enough for good enough to be on my

388
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 4: own albums. But I think, to be honest with you,

389
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 4: it wasn't until Bleeding Love that people really started taking

390
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 4: notice of me as a writer. And that song, too,

391
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 4: like has such a history because it was intended to

392
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 4: go on the depart your album with Leavin and how

393
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 4: Do You Sleep? And the label is a classic story

394
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 4: where the label hated it and thought it wasn't bright

395
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 4: and they were very condescending or you know, writing emails

396
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 4: like what is this bloody song? Like no one wants

397
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 4: to hear that? And I was bummed about it, to

398
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 4: be honest, because I thought it was a really great record.

399
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 4: And then Ryan Tedder was just who I wrote it with,

400
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 4: was just very resilient and just kept pitching it to

401
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 4: other artists, you know, a year two years later did

402
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 4: he pitched it and and then it fell in Leona's

403
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 4: lap and became a huge record. It was sort of

404
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 4: like and I told you so moment, but also at

405
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 4: that point I was like, okay, I'm I'm confident in

406
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 4: my writing at this point, so.

407
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 1: Totally and that song made her career. Oh wow. Yeah,

408
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: and Leona has actually become a good friend of ours

409
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: here in Los Angeles. We have kids the same age,

410
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 1: kind of like it's kind of the same parent circle. Yeah,

411
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: we have cool parents, not like the other junyear who's

412
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: going to our school this year? They're in the class.

00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,320

414
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,240

415
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: this school we're starting now, so that okay, maybe that's why.

416
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:12,159

436
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: of contest before American Idol count It's just like that.

437
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,159

444
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: of his life depended on it. Every single person was

445
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: like yeah, no, waight. So like.

446
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,119

447
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 4: I don't want to speak for him, but I think

448
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 4: Apologize was one of those songs where Timberland sort of

449
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 4: like put the stamp of approval on it. Yeah, it

450
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 4: was sort of like an endorsement for.

451
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: Ryan Tetter, and the way he remixed it was great.

452
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 4: It was brilliant, and he's in amazing produce. I mean,

453
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 4: he's a super talent, there's no question. But we were

454
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 4: just writing. I mean we were just I was booking

455
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 4: sessions with writers around town and we got into the

456
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 4: studio and Bleeding Love was like one of the first

457
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 4: songs we wrote. And we wrote only a couple other

458
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 4: songs to get other all of which I don't actually

459
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 4: think ended up getting published except Bleeding Love, which is fine.

460
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 4: And but yeah, that's that's kind of how we met.

461
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: What's your process? Like, would like say, okay, hey, Ryan,

462
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: let's you want to write together. Sure, how does that start?

463
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: Does it start with like a coffee and you just

464
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: start talking ideas or do you get a guitar out

465
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: first and start playing things?

466
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's always its always, you know, always a coffee,

467
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 4: always a coffee, And we really just booked in the

468
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 4: studio for the first two three hours. Mostly every session

469
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 4: starts out with us just talking about whatever traffic usually

470
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 4: how awful it is. And then I mean, I'm I'm

471
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 4: a melody lyric lyricist guy, you know, I mean, I

472
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,479
Speaker 4: can play piano a little bit, but I'm not you know,

473
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 4: a real like a great musician, you know, but I'm

474
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 4: I'm a fairly good lyricist and great with melody. And

475
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 4: so Ryan and I got in and he had this

476
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 4: sort of just basic track, this B three organ and

477
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 4: it was the chords to Bleeding Love. It's a four

478
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 4: chord progression. And I just got in the booth and

479
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 4: started singing melodies over the track, which is generally how

480
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,959
Speaker 4: I do things, and and then like pulled up my

481
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 4: notes app that had hundreds of, you know, lyrical ideas

482
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 4: and had this sort of concept you know, bleeding love

483
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 4: or being ripped open or cut open and super dramatic,

484
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 4: and then we just sort of developed it from there.

485
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 4: But there's no science to it. I mean, I think

486
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 4: it's different every time. Sometimes I go in with just

487
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 4: like a lyric idea that I like and try to

488
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 4: expand on it. But you know, most ideas are terrible,

489
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 4: and once in a while you get a bleeding Love.

490
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's the rule of them? Like every twenty the

491
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: songs a hit, just going to keep one and twenty

492
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: then you finally got out.

493
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 4: That's a good. Maybe it's changed, like twenty percent.

494
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 2: You know, I'm always surprised when I hear when somebody goes,

495
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 2: we thought it was going to be a hit, you know,

496
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 2: we knew we had something, and then there's also the

497
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 2: times when they go we had no idea, it was

498
00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 2: just an extra track.

499
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: So but with Bleeding Love, I heard you.

500
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 2: Say sort of at the beginning that you were like,

501
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 2: I felt like I had something there.

502
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, what was it that you felt?

503
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,160
Speaker 2: Was it like, oh, the chords were really going together,

504
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 2: or was it like a lyric turn that just really

505
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:12,959
Speaker 2: kind of made sense or all of it together?

506
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 1: Like what was it that you went, oh, oh, yeah.

507
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 4: I just didn't find a Look, I didn't think there

508
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 4: was any like wasted lyrics or melody. Like it just

509
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 4: felt very cohesive and like a beautiful song. You know,

510
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 4: a lot of songs in pop especially, you can feel

511
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 4: where writers sort of bail out, you know, and you

512
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 4: get a lot of repetition or things that you just

513
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 4: are there in this song to sort of, you know,

514
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 4: keep it going. But the song had a really nice story.

515
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 4: I thought it was very lyrically strong, strong, and yeah,

516
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 4: and it was just a really pretty record. But again,

517
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 4: like it just goes to show nobody knows, right because

518
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 4: the label didn't see it, didn't hear it.

519
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: And it's also how it's promoted. I mean, look at

520
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 1: Murder on the Dance Floor. It came out years ago

521
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: and now it's so huge. It's all about the time,

522
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: all about who will support it, who's going to put

523
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: in heavy rotation.

524
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 4: I mean that's just what it Isn't that Jojo Siwah record,

525
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 4: Because wasn't that like a song that was passed upon?

526
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was someone else's single in twenty eleven

527
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: and it already came out, her.

528
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 2: Song Karma, right, But yeah, you're right though, Lance, It's

529
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 2: like there's timing, there's out for me.

530
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: It just kind of all has to come together. A

531
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: lot of times you're kind of told what to watch

532
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: and listen to, especially back in my day. I CRL.

533
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 1: It's like, here are the ten songs you have to

534
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,360
Speaker 1: like kids. It's from Corn to Limp Biscuit to Backstreet

535
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 1: Bat Britney Spears. But you're kind of forced to like

536
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 1: this now that there's so many different platforms TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, everything,

537
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 1: everyone's kind of segmented and kind of you can find

538
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: your own favorite music and you never hear it on

539
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,120
Speaker 1: the radio. And that's the thing.

540
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 3: Now there's just so many outlets and there's so many

541
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 3: more artists now that it's like it's good and bad.

542
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 3: You have so many more opportunity to put yourself out there.

543
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 3: But you're now against thousands or more thousands.

544
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: And they's like, well, how do I break out? And

545
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: I always tell like new artists especially, like don't worry

546
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 1: about that. Focus on just doing the best you. Your

547
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: fans will find you, and who cares if it's on

548
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: the radio. If you have your fan base and they're

549
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: coming to your shows and buying your music, that's all

550
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: you need. That's what you're doing. Michael Jackson, so state like,

551
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: just have your crowd and there you go. You have

552
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: a career.

553
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 4: Now it wants to be like radio really minted a song.

554
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 4: You know, it's either it made her, it would make

555
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 4: or break a song. And now it just seems like

556
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 4: anything is possible. You have a viral moment that the

557
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 4: Jojo song just needed incredible choreography, and then all of

558
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 4: a sudden, you know it's a huge record. So it

559
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 4: just depends on.

560
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: Choreographer.

561
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 3: Is one of the biggest choreographers he's Toddrick's choreographer. He's

562
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 3: Lady Gaga's Richie Squirrel.

563
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 1: This is Richie Squirrel. That's crazy And I don't know Richie.

564
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: You know her famous little head banging seat. It's very

565
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: Gaga with the arms and that.

566
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 3: Like he did Bad Romance, he did all he did

567
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 3: rain on me, all of those videos is the same quarreo.

568
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: I can now see it. I can see it's Lady

569
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 1: like a monster.

570
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,199
Speaker 2: But Jesse, you you started off in the kind of

571
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 2: the old paradigm with the radio and that sort of thing,

572
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 2: and I don't know if maybe you did chopping balls

573
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 2: and stuff like that, like you had to.

574
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: Do promo tour.

575
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 2: There's still very much have a career and the new paradigm,

576
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 2: and it is very much a new paradigm, like be

577
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 2: able to make the transition not everybody is very hard and.

578
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 4: I hated it and I kind of still do. But

579
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 4: it is part of the new paradigm. Like you said,

580
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 4: like you just have to figure out a way to adapt,

581
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 4: and that's sort of how it's done now. And it's

582
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 4: so much more work, as you guys all know. But

583
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 4: you know that is you know, you got to play

584
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 4: the game.

585
00:27:52,720 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 1: No doubt. Let's talk a little about dream Street because

586
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: I said, we had some of your boys on the show,

587
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 1: and they kind of like, you know what, maybe we

588
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: should get in the studio and they did, which was

589
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: like fun. And we just saw them at the iHeart

590
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,479
Speaker 1: Awards and they're like, oh my god, we actually like

591
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: because of the show, did this now you just brought

592
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 1: them out on your show in New York.

593
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, what was that like? Well, they didn't come on stage,

594
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 4: but they came backstage, and which was fun. They came

595
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 4: to my New York show and yeah, we just sort

596
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 4: of we had a reunion like a year ago, just

597
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 4: on our own time. We went up to Montana and

598
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 4: did like a ski trip together for about a year

599
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 4: and they rented a house and went skiing, and we

600
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 4: got to reconnect after literally a decade or more of

601
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 4: really seeing each other. And our lives are so different

602
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 4: now half of you know, half of them have multiple kids,

603
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 4: and I think Greg is on his sixth kid now.

604
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: But it's always it's kind of like it's kind of

605
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: growing up with your cousins and then you all grow

606
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: up and you don't really see your cousins that much

607
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: much anymore. But then when you get back together, it's

608
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: just amazing.

609
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 4: And you we candel but they came to the New

610
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,239
Speaker 4: York show and we all had a few drinks or

611
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 4: more backstage, and we ended up singing like some acapella

612
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 4: and you know, reminiscing and doing a little dancing backstage

613
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 4: for TikTok.

614
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: You know, it's all. It's a TikTok world. We just

615
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: live in it. What would you say, besides beautiful soul,

616
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: what is your favorite? Actually, beautiful soul might not be

617
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: your favorite sing I know it's the crowd favorite, probably

618
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: like you got up singing the song, But what do

619
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: you like to sing on stage? What is your favorite?

620
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 4: I mean, it's always the new stuff, just selfishly right

621
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 4: when you put out new music this last tour, I

622
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 4: did you know we I did? I put out an

623
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 4: EP earlier this year, and it's just such a to me.

624
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 4: It's just great, great songwriting, and it's it was all.

625
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 4: It was produced, you know, in in a studio with

626
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 4: live instrumentation and a live band, which is something I

627
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 4: haven't done in many, many years. So that stuff is

628
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 4: super fun for me. But of course playing the hits,

629
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 4: I feel like I've come full circle on beautiful soul.

630
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 4: You know, there was a time where I was really

631
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 4: annoyed playing that song. Yeah, just I mean, you know

632
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 4: how that is. But the song is twenty years old

633
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 4: this year, it's about to hit his twenty year anniversary,

634
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 4: and now, like you play it and like young moms

635
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 4: are in the audience with their five year old daughters

636
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 4: singing the song, and there's like this whole new generation

637
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 4: of kids that now know beautiful soul and.

638
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: It holds up. It is a really solid.

639
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 4: Song, and like, I think you forget that until till

640
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 4: just now am I realizing, Oh, well, that's that song

641
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 4: really has stood the test of time.

642
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 2: And you see those new listeners vibe to it. I

643
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 2: love it, and you're like, yeah, this song is a jam,

644
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 2: it's nice song, is a good song.

645
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's cool. Twenty years.

646
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 4: That's twenty years right now, it's crazy.

647
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: Well are we going to be seeing you on tour?

648
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 4: So yeah, So I finished a tour this past spring

649
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 4: and it was a big success. So we're going to

650
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 4: go back out I think in October and do another

652
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 4: all through the US and Canada. We're still like finalizing everything.

653
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 4: But yeah, I think early October the tour will kick off.

654
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 4: It's gonna be uh like part two, Part two of

655
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 4: the All's Well tour. So we're doing that again this

656
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 4: year and then hopefully run into next year and do

657
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 4: something else, maybe next summer with another artist. Oh, I

658
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 4: don't know if it's confirmed yet, but you know, I

659
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 4: haven't done a lot of co headlining, but it would

660
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 4: be fun to do that, you know. I do like touring.

661
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 4: I mean it's a lot harder as you get older,

662
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 4: but it is a lot of fun and it's nice

663
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 4: to reconnect with the fans. And I just love performing live.

664
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 4: It's my favorite aspect of the business. I grew up

665
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,719
Speaker 4: on stage and so I just feel like that's my

666
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 4: my happy place, my safe place.

667
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: My happy place is the bus. I love it. I

668
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: love it on the bus YEP. Yeah, I sleep better.

669
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: I just everything. I just love traveling. Do you but yeah,

670
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: I do.

671
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 4: My wife and dog came out, and love them both

672
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 4: very much. But my dog is getting older and she

673
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 4: just does not sleep, and we sleep in the back

674
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 4: together and she has to be in the middle of

675
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 4: us because she is separation anxiety. So I'm up every

676
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 4: three hours.

677
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no I could do that.

678
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 4: She had to go home after the first.

679
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: Two weeks, got to work. Yeah. Do you notice when

680
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: you tour, is there a place in this country or

681
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: around the world that you're like, this is my biggest

682
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: fan base right here?

683
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 4: Probably the East Coast because it's where it all started.

684
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 4: I would say New York is uh kind of where

685
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 4: it all started, you know, So New York, anywhere in

686
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 4: the Tri state area, the Midwest is great, to Chicago,

687
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 4: and you know anywhere in Michigan, Wisconsin, the South. It's funny.

688
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 4: LA is probably my probably least.

689
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: That's for every artist. It's the worst.

690
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 4: It's just it's just but this last tour was great,

691
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 4: like we you know, we sold out at the Wiltern.

692
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 4: We're going to do it again, I think later this year.

693
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:51,719
Speaker 4: But it was. Yeah, there's definitely pockets of the country

694
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 4: that are stronger than others.

695
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: It's weird because La you can get the people there,

696
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: it's just they're not as hyped as everyone else.

697
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 4: And they show up two hours late.

698
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I guess just got so much stuff. Yeah,

699
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: but it's a lot of industry so that you know,

700
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: the front two rows will be executive people were like, oh,

701

00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: down the whole time so much energy.

Speaker 4: Van have like one hundred tickets too for your like friends,

704
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 4: family agents and managers, and about half of them show,

705
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 4: you know, and they had the excuse like, oh, we

706
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 4: thought the show is tomorrow.

707
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 2: They pull like the Larry David on you like, like

708
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 2: I think Billy Joel or something like that. He's like, no,

00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:38,600

00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: and I.

730
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 4: Just fell in love with just the live musicianship of

731
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 4: that time in music, and I wanted to do that again,

732
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 4: so I put I got a producer to put you know,

733
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:40,440

735
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,560

736
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 4: studio and wrote the songs, you know, and then went

737
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 4: to the studio and arranged everything and had live horns,

738
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,399
Speaker 4: and it was just nice. It was nice to get

739
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 4: back to like the roots that you don't hear a

740
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 4: lot of that and pop music anymore. I feel like

741
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 4: everything is programmed digitally. It just had this sort of

742
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 4: you know, throwback feel to it that I love. And yeah,

743
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 4: it's it's a great EP. And I wouldn't say it's racy,

744
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:14,399
Speaker 4: but it's certainly more you know, Yeah, yeah, it's it's

745
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 4: you know it's it sounds like a thirty seven year

746
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 4: old man's music.

747
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 2: Well, you know, just having a horn section that you

748
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 2: get to be like porn racy.

749
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: It's like a word that my like racy lyrics. Anyway, Okay, sorry.

750
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 2: I should I should the question.

751
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: No, No, you have a.

752
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 2: Big porn section that we shouldn't talk about, but you

753
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 2: have a big horn section.

754
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 4: No.

755
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 2: But being able to like work with musicians like that

756
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 2: and come up with a couple of like cool horn

757
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 2: licks and all that kind of stuff. I mean that

758
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 2: to me, that's like my dream. I would love to

759
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 2: be able to do that, to work with a band

760
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 2: and be like, what if you guys popped in right

761
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 2: here should do it? Well, I'm not talking about me,

762
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 2: but I'm about you. Was like, how much fun was that?

763
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 2: Especially because you your roots are not necessarily working with

764
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 2: a live band in right way. So yeah, talk a

765
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 2: little bit about that or that process of working like

766
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 2: really seasoned studio musicians.

767
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's great. You know, you write, you

768
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 4: write a song, and then you get to arrange it.

769
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 4: You decide like, okay, we want horns in this section,

770
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 4: and you know, I left a lot of that to

771
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 4: the producer right to sort of help arrange those parts.

772
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 4: But it's just so fun being in a room with

773
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 4: other really really talented people who are at the you know,

774
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,439
Speaker 4: are the best of what they do, and you sort

775
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 4: of leave it to them to bring their a game

776
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 4: and help crystallize your vision, you know. And we recorded

777
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:47,280
Speaker 4: in Santa Monica at this record studio that I'm blanking

778
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 4: on right now, but like legendary artists have played through there.

779
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 4: Carol King actually stopped by at the session and gave

780
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 4: her two cents to like the musicians, which was so funny.

781
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 4: She's no slouch, She's no slouch, and like all musicians

782
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 4: were freaking out, you know, and she's she's up there saying, hey,

783
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 4: maybe uh play a little less drum fill on this?

784
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: You want me to put my sticks down?

785
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 4: No, it's just it's just such a great process, and

786
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 4: it made it fun for me again.

787
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 1: You know.

788
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 4: It was like this reinvigorated my love for music for sure.

789
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: Have you seen her Broadway show Beautiful?

790
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 4: Yeah?

791
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: Oh it's so good.

792
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 4: She's amazing.

793
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: Yeah that was really really good. Uh, your album departure?

794
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: Are you going to be highlighting that album at all?

795
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 1: On the upcoming tour.

796
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 4: I mean, I definitely play a lot of those songs Leavin. Obviously,

797
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 4: body Language is probably one of my favorites to play live.

798
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,240
Speaker 4: I did that with Tea Pain back in like two thousand.

799
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 4: Te Pain is the best. That's probably one of my

800
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,439
Speaker 4: favorite songs. I love that album and that was sort

801
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 4: of that album too, is when we kind of made

802
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 4: the shift from like really traditional pop, like beautiful soul

803
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:57,720
Speaker 4: to a slightly more rhythmic, urban sounding album and worked

804
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 4: with you know, Tea Pain and Ludacris and Sean Garrett

805
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 4: and kind of went down that path a little bit

806
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 4: and you started hearing more R and B tones to

807
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,280
Speaker 4: the to the music and yeah, it's that's that record

808
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 4: is There's so many good ones on that album. But

809
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 4: for sure I'll be playing a lot of the songs

810
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 4: I always I never deprived fans from the hit songs

811
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 4: like you can't do that on tour. There's nothing more

812
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 4: frustrating and washing an artists play.

813
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: All of his and nothing just song to play the

814
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 1: one you're really waiting for. Come on, I had to

815
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: wait an hour and a half for that. Yeah, right,

816
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:28,839
Speaker 1: who what is your new artist? Right now that you're

817
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: you have your eye On.

818
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,879
Speaker 4: There's a band called Lawrence. They love Lawrence. Yeah, Yeah,

819
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 4: they're incredible. They're they're out of New York, I believe,

820
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 4: Uh Gracie and and her brother, yeah, Clyde, and they're

821
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 4: just super super talents, like they are real musicians. And

822
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 4: Clyde is just he reminds me of like a young

823
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 4: like Michael McDonald. There's something he's got, this amazing raspy voice.

824
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 2: I am a massive band too that goes on tour

825
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:57,439
Speaker 2: with them.

826
00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 1: Yeah.

827
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 4: They opened for like the Jonas Brothers a couple of

828
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 4: years ago, and they sort of organically built this fan base.

829
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 4: They're playing like Radio City by themselves in New York,

830
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 4: which is amazing. And I think I'm going to go

831
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 4: out and work with them in August this year and

832
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 4: do some writing with them. We're trying to put that

833
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 4: together just because literally I hit them up on Instagram

834
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 4: was like, hey, I am obsessed with you guys. I

835
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 4: love your music.

836
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: They got like a pop funk, soul kind of thing.

837
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 4: So fairly yeah, and I think it's really important to

838
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 4: have that for this generation where I think it's lacking.

839
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 4: Quite frankly, it's so much heart.

840
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 1: How great is it as an artist that you can

841
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 1: reach people that you want to read through a DM.

842
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 4: These days it's the best. I mean, it's it's you

843
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 4: truly can skip so many different steps. Now you don't

844
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 4: have to call the PR team or the managers or

845
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 4: like the deal with all the emails back and forth.

846
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 4: You can just literally hit them up and if they're

847
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 4: into it, they hate you back, and if not, they

848
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 4: leave you on red.

849
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,760
Speaker 1: What's her name that I'm loving right now? The rowans

850
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,919
Speaker 1: that's a meteor Yeah, no kidding.

851
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 4: But I love Zach Bryan who yeh, super talent.

852
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 1: You know what. I'd love to hear you do. And

853
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 1: Ryan just did this recently with maybe David Getta maybe

854
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 1: is that who we just did it with or it was.

855
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: I want to hear you get with Caigo yeah, yeah,

856
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: and do some amazing like dance hit.

857
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

858
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: I want to hear this in clubs. I want an

859
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,959
Speaker 1: M version of it. I think you would kill it interesting.

860
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 4: And Carol g they sampled the Bleeding Love and did

861
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 4: a song called I Think Yeah, but yeah, it would

862
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 4: be super fun to work in an E d M environment.

863
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 4: I've never really done that. That would be fun.

864
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 1: It would be fun. I would love I mean, I

865
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 1: think it would have been fun if and Sync would

866
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 1: have done that with But back in you know, I

867
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: keep saying it, back in our day, DJ's really weren't

868
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: a thing. I mean, it wasn't it, and that.

869
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 2: Music was considered more like circuit and techno and that

870
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 2: sort of thing. It it wasn't mainstream, and it hadn't

871
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 2: found its way into this sort of where so lyrical.

872
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 2: Now there's there's so much more lyric there's so much

873
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 2: more melody and am I saying to I mean, back

874
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:18,959
Speaker 2: then it was just.

875
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: The actual music. It wasn't really like a lot of

876
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: collapse and we weren't going to do.

877
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, but no that that that would be very cool

878
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 2: if you climbed into that world a little bit. I

879
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 2: feel like you could go a lot of different places.

880
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 2: I mean, the Lawrence is not a surprise to me

881
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 2: because you you're such a great singer and you're a

882
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 2: great songwriter, and I feel like you could fit in

883
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:43,399
Speaker 2: that so beautifully.

884
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: But I think there's a lot of places you could play.

885
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:47,520
