Speaker 1: Hey, guys, welcome to I've never said this before with me,
Speaker 1: Tommy Di Dario, I am pretty confident in saying that
Speaker 1: you have jammed out to today's guest while either driving
Speaker 1: in your car, or maybe working out and breaking a sweat,
Speaker 1: or while just dancing with your friends. I'm raising my
Speaker 1: hand because I am in the category of accomplishing all
Speaker 1: three of those. The award winning singer, songwriter, entrepreneur, and
Speaker 1: now author Jason Derulo is hanging out with me today now.
Speaker 1: Jason is easily one of the most dynamic forces on
Speaker 1: the global pop landscape. Period. He has sold over two
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million singles worldwide and achieved fifteen platinum
Speaker 1: singles since the start of his solo recording career back
Speaker 1: in two thousand and nine. His music has earned get
Speaker 1: ready for It over eighteen point two billion streams. He
Speaker 1: has even become one of TikTok's biggest superstars, currently the
Speaker 1: fourth most followed mail on the entire platform, which I
Speaker 1: think is pretty damn cool because it's really become a
Speaker 1: place where he can connect with his fans, and he
Speaker 1: prioritizes that time. It's very important to him. Now on
Speaker 1: top of all of his musical brilliance. Jason has a
Speaker 1: new book out, part self help, part memoir called Sing
Speaker 1: Your Name Out Loud, in which he shares his fifteen
Speaker 1: rules for finding success in any pursuit, and he invites
Speaker 1: everyone yourself included, especially artists and creators and creative minds alike,
Speaker 1: to start on their path to greatness. As he says,
Speaker 1: and let me tell you, Jason has some incredible pieces
Speaker 1: of advice to share that are going to just leave
Speaker 1: you feeling so inspired and ready to take on the world.
Speaker 1: So let's see if today we can get Jason to
Speaker 1: say something that he's never said before. Jason, my man,
Speaker 1: how you doing today?
Speaker 2: Oh man, amazing, amazing? How about yourself?
Speaker 1: I'm awesome. Thank you for joining the show. Listen before
Speaker 1: we dive in, I have got to tell you that
Speaker 1: you are responsible for two years of my life making
Speaker 1: me feel like I was in a music video every
Speaker 1: day that I woke up.
Speaker 2: Oh word, how so well?
Speaker 1: Two thousand and nine Gossip Girl like the show that
Speaker 1: took over the world. Your first smash hit. What you
Speaker 1: say was in this like epic dramatic Thanksgiving scene where
Speaker 1: everybody was fighting and you know, throwing fists on the
Speaker 1: table and pushing their chair out to the beat of
Speaker 1: your music. And I went to bed that night and
Speaker 1: I woke up the next day like imagining myself in
Speaker 1: ten million scenarios thinking I'm in a music video. So
Speaker 1: thank you for that. You clouded my mind for two years.
Speaker 2: I love it, love it.
Speaker 1: It was awesome. So humble, brag on your behalf. Okay,
Speaker 1: you have sold over two hundred and fifty million singles.
Speaker 1: You are one of is it six artists that have
Speaker 1: had a number one hit in three different decades? Is
Speaker 1: that right?
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 1: I mean the accolades, they go on and on and
Speaker 1: on and fast forward to today. You have a brand
Speaker 1: new book out that is absolutely fantastic. It's called Sing
Speaker 1: Your Name Out Loud. Tell me about this book.
Speaker 2: Really exciting, man. I wanted to write this book because
Speaker 2: there's a lot of dreamers.
Speaker 3: Out there that are giving up their dreams for what
Speaker 3: they feel like they should be doing.
Speaker 2: You know, I feel like we have this kind of
Speaker 2: we built the system where.
Speaker 3: We're supposed to, you know, go to high school, then
Speaker 3: you know, go to college and get a trade, and
Speaker 3: you know, it's that that's kind of like the norm
Speaker 3: and there's a lot of dreamers. There's a lot of
Speaker 3: creative people out there. There's just so many talented people
Speaker 3: out there that are just giving up their dream because
Speaker 3: they feel like they have to do a specific thing.
Speaker 2: So I wanted to write some sort.
Speaker 4: Of of handbook, you know, that could be an aid,
Speaker 4: you know, that could be a support system to these
Speaker 4: dreamers out there, because I mean, for myself, if I
Speaker 4: would have had.
Speaker 2: Some sort of.
Speaker 3: Handbook myself, if I would have bought my head a
Speaker 3: lot less times, and you know, if I was ever
Speaker 3: feeling a certain kind of way, I could turn to
Speaker 3: this you know, handbook and you know, get some help
Speaker 3: or try to figure out a question that I had
Speaker 3: by looking within this book. So I, you know, took
Speaker 3: a part in my life and tried to figure out
Speaker 3: what I thought were the fifteen rules that.
Speaker 2: Got me to be successful, you know, got me to
Speaker 2: where I am today, you.
Speaker 3: Know, not just in music, but in business and with
Speaker 3: social media as well. What are those fifteen rules that
Speaker 3: apply to success in all facets, you know, and not
Speaker 3: just one.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if there's been really any other
Speaker 1: musicians who have come out with this sort of self
Speaker 1: help book, right Uh no, not that I know of.
Speaker 1: So was that something that just felt really natural for you?
Speaker 3: It did, man, and it was it was a very
Speaker 3: selfless actor. I didn't do it for anybody else but
Speaker 3: young Jason Derulo.
Speaker 2: You know. I went that that young dreamer.
Speaker 3: Out there to be able to have something to hold
Speaker 3: on to, and not just young, right. I mean, I
Speaker 3: think there's also a lot of older dreamers that feel
Speaker 3: like it's too late, you know. And I don't think
Speaker 3: that's the fact that that's the fact of the matter
Speaker 3: at all. It's never too late to start, especially in
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three with how socials has kind of changed
Speaker 3: the world.
Speaker 2: So you just kind of beat this ball, right, it's
Speaker 2: my dog.
Speaker 1: We love a dog, cameo. Sure, this is Ice Ice.
Speaker 3: He's literally right right next to me, just just chomping
Speaker 3: on his book ball.
Speaker 1: That's amazing. Well, I love that you just hit on
Speaker 1: that too, man, because a lot of people think your
Speaker 1: dreams and your successes have to be twenties thirties. But
Speaker 1: there's so many people CEOs, billionaires, I mean, the list
Speaker 1: goes on and on that hit their sweetest success fifty
Speaker 1: and above.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean a lot of times you don't even
Speaker 3: know who we are or what we want to do
Speaker 3: until later in life. So I mean, you know, there's
Speaker 3: definitely time. You know, it's not something that you have
Speaker 3: had to figure it out when you were young. You know,
Speaker 3: it's just literally no rules, especially nowadays.
Speaker 1: Well you talk about the fifteen tried and true rules
Speaker 1: to success, right, So what are one or two that
Speaker 1: like really quickly came to you when you were writing
Speaker 1: this book.
Speaker 2: One that came really quickly was the power of the time.
Speaker 3: You know, when I was a kid, my mom used
Speaker 3: to always tell us, you know, be very mindful of
Speaker 3: the days.
Speaker 2: That you say, you know, and she was practiced what
Speaker 2: she preaves.
Speaker 3: Instead of saying, you know, this desert is to die
Speaker 3: fortune to say this desert is to live for so
Speaker 3: very early on I adopted that and started to speak
Speaker 3: my truths and my future into existence.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: It was not life, uh, I you know, really want
Speaker 3: to be this singer one day. It was like when
Speaker 3: I become a singer and then that's just how I
Speaker 3: learned to speak. So that was something that came from
Speaker 3: from my upbringing, you know, being uh you know, a
Speaker 3: young Christian man. I mean, it was it was something
Speaker 3: that we were brought up on, so that was was
Speaker 3: a really easy one.
Speaker 2: But I adopted it so much so that I started
Speaker 2: to believe it myself, you know. And you have a
Speaker 2: trillion cells in.
Speaker 3: Your body, and when you speak to your to your body,
Speaker 3: your body really listens. So I'm going to act differently, right,
Speaker 3: and when I wake up in the morning, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: wake up as somebody who was on the on the
Speaker 3: journey of someone who's gonna be on the.
Speaker 2: Most successful musicians of all time.
Speaker 3: I'm going to uh make sure that I'm practicing the
Speaker 3: amount of hours that one of the most successful musicians
Speaker 3: about time practice. I'm going to take all of those
Speaker 3: steps because it's no longer just a dream. It is
Speaker 3: something that is going to be in my future. And
Speaker 3: you know, it's one of those those, uh those things
Speaker 3: that I learned very early on about one of those
Speaker 3: ones that I feel like is very very.
Speaker 2: Necessary.
Speaker 1: And how do you believe it?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: It's one thing to say it. It's one thing to
Speaker 1: put it out there and and think you believe it.
Speaker 1: But I mean, I truly, honestly feel in your core
Speaker 1: when you were growing up, you believed that you would
Speaker 1: become this huge success.
Speaker 2: I really did, man, I really did. I think it
Speaker 2: starts with just saying.
Speaker 3: It starts with just saying it. I tell people all
Speaker 3: the time. So I just had a show about four
Speaker 3: days ago, and I was a little under the weather,
Speaker 3: and you know, it was really tough to get out
Speaker 3: of bed even what I was thinking about.
Speaker 2: You know, all the people that.
Speaker 3: You know spent all their hard earned money and wanted
Speaker 3: to come to the show. So there was no way
Speaker 3: I was going to cancel the show. But the simple
Speaker 3: thing as putting a smile on my face, even when
Speaker 3: I did not want to smile, I started to just smile,
Speaker 3: and instantly my body started to react to that smile
Speaker 3: and I started to feel different, you know. So it's
Speaker 3: one of those things like you when you start to
Speaker 3: speak something.
Speaker 2: When you start to say.
Speaker 3: It, you'll eventually start to move it, you know, but
Speaker 3: you have to keep on doing it over and over
Speaker 3: and over and over again.
Speaker 2: It's not going to happen overnight, but it will happen
Speaker 2: to visually.
Speaker 3: So you start to see it and you start to
Speaker 3: do the things within your life that is leading to
Speaker 3: wherever that that end goal is, and you know your
Speaker 3: body will start to slowly believe.
Speaker 1: It and getting out of bed. That story of you
Speaker 1: having to push through not feeling great to deliver that
Speaker 1: show reminds me of something else you said, which was
Speaker 1: that obstacles are a chance for opportunities, right for sure?
Speaker 2: For sure?
Speaker 1: I mean, can you get any more poetic than that?
Speaker 1: That's freaking brilliant.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Man, I think at my in my lowest moments, where
Speaker 3: the moments where I thrived the most, you know, thinking
Speaker 3: back by moments like when I broke my neck in
Speaker 3: two thousand and fourteen, fifteen one of the two I
Speaker 3: broke my c two vertebrate and it was.
Speaker 2: A very.
Speaker 3: Could have been a very dark moment, as you can imagine.
Speaker 3: It was a Hayman's break. So most of the time
Speaker 3: when somebody has that break is you know, you end
Speaker 3: up being a preparaplegic or worse. And for me, I
Speaker 3: came out very different, thankfully. But I couldn't time I
Speaker 3: owned shoe, I couldn't bathe myself.
Speaker 2: I couldn't clothe myself.
Speaker 3: It was a very strange time and a very you know,
Speaker 3: very I would say, a dark time. Yeah, But in
Speaker 3: that time I started to rely on.
Speaker 2: Started to rely on my routine, you know.
Speaker 3: So instead of being down on myself, I woke up
Speaker 3: at the same time every single day.
Speaker 2: I tried to do what.
Speaker 3: Little physical therapy that I could do at the same
Speaker 3: time for the same amount of time every day. Then
Speaker 3: then I wrote music for the same amount of time
Speaker 3: every single day. So it was like that was my
Speaker 3: craft and I was going to work from this time
Speaker 3: for this time every single day. It didn't matter if
Speaker 3: I felt good, if I didn't feel good, I had
Speaker 3: to put in those amount of hours. So it was
Speaker 3: not about if I felt prolific that day or if
Speaker 3: I felt like down. I was going to do my
Speaker 3: hours and I went to bed at the same time
Speaker 3: and did rent repeat.
Speaker 2: It is the same thing over and over and over
Speaker 2: and over and over. But when I looked up one day,
Speaker 2: I had written one of my most famous projects. You know.
Speaker 3: It was a tough, dirty album and that album have
Speaker 3: flat five platinum songs on there, and it was in
Speaker 3: a time.
Speaker 2: Where it was a very dark time in my life,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 3: So I say that to say that obstacles sometimes, you know,
Speaker 3: can be that blessing.
Speaker 1: I think that's such a cool way to look at life, right.
Speaker 1: We all go through really tough times in our lives,
Speaker 1: and some people by default kind of crawling the ball
Speaker 1: and cave and they're not sure how to put one
Speaker 1: foot in front of the other. For those kinds of
Speaker 1: people who are listening and say, man, I want to
Speaker 1: be more like Jason, like that is such a badass mentality.
Speaker 1: How do you get there?
Speaker 3: It's just by creating your routine, you know. And sometimes
Speaker 3: you don't want to get up and go do what
Speaker 3: you're supposed to do, right, And sometimes you do. You're like,
Speaker 3: this is my passion. I love to do this, That's
Speaker 3: why I want to do it.
Speaker 2: But you can't. The problem sometimes is that we're start.
Speaker 3: Negotiating with ourselves, right, and it's like, Okay, if I don't,
Speaker 3: if I don't go get up and work out today,
Speaker 3: tomorrow gonna go twice as hard, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: But you can't.
Speaker 3: You can't have those negotiations. It has to be non negotiable.
Speaker 3: So like when you set your routine, your routine is
Speaker 3: your routine, no matter what you know, and you cannot
Speaker 3: miss it.
Speaker 2: You can't.
Speaker 3: You can't sway from it. Your routine is your routine.
Speaker 3: You can't say I'm going to just go twice as
Speaker 3: hard tomorrow. No, you got to do it today because
Speaker 3: it's a non negotiable. And when you when you lean
Speaker 3: on the routine, when you look up one day, it's
Speaker 3: it's gonna be like, damn, I'm so much closer to
Speaker 3: my goal than when I started.
Speaker 1: So that was one of your lows to tell me
Speaker 1: about one of your all time highs. And then what
Speaker 1: did I feel like?
Speaker 3: My favorite moments, man, are are moments in the grind?
Speaker 2: You know? I wish I could be like it was
Speaker 2: like when I got this.
Speaker 3: Accolade or when I sold this in my I mean,
Speaker 3: it's really not anything like that. My favorite moments in
Speaker 3: the world is writing music. So I remember, uh.
Speaker 2: It being.
Speaker 3: Four in the morning and I wanted to go to bed,
Speaker 3: and my friend that I was with it.
Speaker 2: Was like, let's write one more song. I was like, man,
Speaker 2: I'm trying. I'm trying to go to bed.
Speaker 3: I don't think I'm gonna be worth anything if I
Speaker 3: write another song is probably.
Speaker 2: Not gonna be good. So it's like we might voice
Speaker 2: go to bed. It was like, come on, man, one more.
Speaker 3: Four in the morning, and I'm like, a cool So
Speaker 3: we're going through the beats, and I'm like, these basic trash,
Speaker 3: So we picked the beat that, uh we thought it
Speaker 3: was least trash. And and then I ended up writing
Speaker 3: a song called writing Solo, and it a song.
Speaker 2: Thank you Man.
Speaker 3: And it was a song that had really real meaning
Speaker 3: in my life, and it was it was something that
Speaker 3: I didn't think was going to happen because I was
Speaker 3: so tired, you know. And and in that moment, I learned
Speaker 3: that the non negotiables matter because I could have missed
Speaker 3: out on that blessing. I could have missed out on
Speaker 3: that opportunity if I was like, oh, I'm just gonna
Speaker 3: go to bed.
Speaker 2: But thank god my friend was there because.
Speaker 3: You know, he he uh, he pushed, He pushed the envelope,
Speaker 3: you know. And that's the reason why I stayed. It
Speaker 3: wasn't it wasn't myself. It was honestly him and.
Speaker 2: I.
Speaker 3: But from that moment on, I learned that I can't
Speaker 3: only just work when I feel up to it, you know.
Speaker 3: I have to work because it's an amount of time
Speaker 3: that I set for myself. This is I'm gonna work
Speaker 3: from this time to this time. So it's not like
Speaker 3: only when I feel like, oh, this is good. You know,
Speaker 3: this is a good time to work. But those are
Speaker 3: one of my favorite stories. You know, this is one
Speaker 3: of my highlight moments, you know, Like I mean, I
Speaker 3: have all sorts of those, but my favorite moments are
Speaker 3: in the grind, especially when I'm making music.
Speaker 1: Something tells me it's very hard for you to turn
Speaker 1: off your mind, your I feel like your creativity is
Speaker 1: always going.
Speaker 2: For sure, for sure. Man, I love creating. I love
Speaker 2: creating something from nothing.
Speaker 3: So whether it's uh, you know, interior design for real estate,
Speaker 3: whether it's content for socials, whether it's music, I just
Speaker 3: love creating.
Speaker 1: Well in this book gives you the tools to be
Speaker 1: able to be your best creator, which I think is
Speaker 1: so cool. It's also part memoir. Was there something that
Speaker 1: was harder than other areas of the book for you
Speaker 1: to write down and actually like put out in vapor
Speaker 1: and put out into the world.
Speaker 3: I talk about some of my failures within the book,
Speaker 3: and I don't think that's a very normal thing to
Speaker 3: have done. I debated on putting certain things in there,
Speaker 3: but I wanted to be as real as possible, you know,
Speaker 3: And I talked about failures of businesses that I had,
Speaker 3: you know, two companies in particular that I had that
Speaker 3: didn't work out. You know, I was following in the
Speaker 3: footsteps of people who musicians before me and trying to
Speaker 3: do the business things that they did, and just because
Speaker 3: it was successful for them, this doesn't mean it was
Speaker 3: going to be successful for me. But I thought it
Speaker 3: was important for me to put my failure, my failures
Speaker 3: in there so that people understand that it's you know,
Speaker 3: it's not happy days.
Speaker 2: You know. I have very successful companies.
Speaker 3: Now that that thrive, but I have been through the
Speaker 3: failure after failure as well, and I think it's important
Speaker 3: to know both sides.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: I think far too often when we see people that
Speaker 3: are successful in business or anything else, right, we think
Speaker 3: that the road is just like smooth sailing, but not
Speaker 3: I have had failures that I've learned from so that
Speaker 3: I can be the success that I am today, because
Speaker 3: I don't think without those failures, if like I would
Speaker 3: like hit it big from from the from the top,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 2: As a businessman, I don't think I would I would
Speaker 2: know these tools.
Speaker 3: So I had to fail to kind of you know,
Speaker 3: understand the landscape of business.
Speaker 1: But you're not afraid to fail. You don't strike me
Speaker 1: as someone afraid to do that.
Speaker 2: Definitely not.
Speaker 3: And I think once you once you failed, you know,
Speaker 3: you get you get a little less afraid of it.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: You you kind of got to prepare. You got to
Speaker 2: kind of prepare for the for the worst as well.
Speaker 1: Hm, You've had such a insanely brilliant career. You put
Speaker 1: in the work, You deserve everything that's come your way.
Speaker 1: How is the Jason Derulo from two thousand and nine
Speaker 1: when that first smash hit what you say came out
Speaker 1: different from the Jason today.
Speaker 2: I think the biggest change is me growing up as
Speaker 2: a man.
Speaker 3: You know, I was, I was a kid in that
Speaker 3: song came out, and I was trying to figure out
Speaker 3: my way, and I was trying to do anything to
Speaker 3: be successful, you know whatever it was like, I was
Speaker 3: going to do that, like whatever it took, and even
Speaker 3: if it meant me not being myself necessarily. And I
Speaker 3: talked about that in the book as well, and trying
Speaker 3: to follow in other people's footsteps to try to to
Speaker 3: try to see what success was exactly right when Yeah,
Speaker 3: when you're a teenager man, you don't know the proper
Speaker 3: steps to take.
Speaker 2: So my.
Speaker 3: Instinct was to look at other successful people and see
Speaker 3: what they did and kind of.
Speaker 2: Do my version of that. And I think I I'm
Speaker 2: in a place now within my life that I've learned
Speaker 2: so much from from so many other people that now
Speaker 2: I really pull for myself a lot.
Speaker 3: I really pulled from my own ideals as opposed to
Speaker 3: pulling from other people so much.
Speaker 1: As a kid. Did you want to be one of
Speaker 1: the biggest pop stars in the world.
Speaker 2: For sure? Undoubtedly.
Speaker 3: I wanted to be able to share my music with
Speaker 3: the world right.
Speaker 2: Not just specific marketed people.
Speaker 3: I wanted to be able to go to Germany and
Speaker 3: have a concert, and be able to go to China
Speaker 3: a concert. And that was the goal, to to make
Speaker 3: music that spoke to to the globe.
Speaker 1: And it still brings you that same excitement and then
Speaker 1: same joy as when you started out.
Speaker 2: That's for sure. Man, I'm a music lover. I'm obsessed
Speaker 2: with my craft, for sure.
Speaker 1: Well, you've had so much great music coming out, even
Speaker 1: over the last you know, year, a few months for you,
Speaker 1: I imagine it's fun to see a song and put
Speaker 1: it out in the world and see how the world reacts.
Speaker 1: I loved one of your most recent songs one love Sucks.
Speaker 1: That's awesome. How did that song come about with such
Speaker 1: a great collaborator.
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, so I wanted to tell this story about
Speaker 3: a toxic relationship and I wanted to utilize diitos thank you,
Speaker 3: And I was like, who who could do this? This
Speaker 3: whole justice, you know, And I thought of doing it
Speaker 3: myself and I was like, no, I think the male
Speaker 3: voice is right boom, and I thought what female could
Speaker 3: do it?
Speaker 2: And I was like, damn night, why don't I.
Speaker 3: Just actually died of it, like it, like she would
Speaker 3: like redo it, you know and do it in twenty
Speaker 3: twenty three fashion, and yeah, and hit her up and
Speaker 3: then she was all for it.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: So being a huge fan of thank you, and what
Speaker 3: also what she did with uh Stan, you know, is
Speaker 3: an honor to be able to to to work or that.
Speaker 1: And it's such a catchy song. But you have this
Speaker 1: gift of being able to make something that's so meaningful
Speaker 1: in a topic that so many people can relate to
Speaker 1: into a bop.
Speaker 3: Appreciate it, man, Thank you. And I was going to
Speaker 3: say is one of my favorites too, And I'm.
Speaker 2: Glad that you that you fighted about appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's awesome. So what's next for you?
Speaker 4: Man?
Speaker 1: I mean, it seems like you've done it all. You've
Speaker 1: you've checked it all off the list. What do you
Speaker 1: want to keep doing? What's next?
Speaker 2: I'm doing a lot of really cool things.
Speaker 3: In a bit on the business side, uh So, I
Speaker 3: purchased a volleyball team in Omaha called the Supernovas and
Speaker 3: this first season is coming up, which I'm really excited about.
Speaker 3: Because women's volleyball, like if you played college volleyball you
Speaker 3: have to go overseas, you would have to go overseas
Speaker 3: to play professionals.
Speaker 2: We had no professional league until now.
Speaker 3: Pro Volleyball Federation is brand new, and I think it's
Speaker 3: going to be massive, man, because this is one of
Speaker 3: the sports where women are the leaders, right, and I
Speaker 3: think I think that's important. Especially in today's day and age,
Speaker 3: women are proving to be as as powerful as as.
Speaker 2: Imaginable, you know.
Speaker 3: So I think having this sport on television with women
Speaker 3: leading the charge, I think it's going to be really
Speaker 3: really important for all women's sports.
Speaker 2: So doing that, I have.
Speaker 5: A car wash company called Rocket car Wash with my
Speaker 5: partner Danny White, that we have hundreds of locations across
Speaker 5: the country, and that's really thriving and doing really well.
Speaker 3: And music music is on the horizon. Man, I have
Speaker 3: an album coming out. It's been a very long time
Speaker 3: since I've put an album out, but the album is
Speaker 3: coming in November, available for pre order in October, and
Speaker 3: it's coming alongside with a podcast.
Speaker 2: I did a podcast with.
Speaker 3: Warner Brothers and the producers of Twilight Clamor, and it's
Speaker 3: really exciting because I wanted to take this album experience
Speaker 3: and turn it into something totally different this time, because
Speaker 3: I feel like a lot of people are They're just
Speaker 3: waiting for the next one song, one song, and song
Speaker 3: and so onto the next song for the next. So
Speaker 3: I was like, if I'm gonna do an album, I
Speaker 3: want to do something that's gonna be totally different and

Speaker 3: can't I can't get that same cinematic experience because I
Speaker 3: obviously can't do something and then get a cinematic experience.
Speaker 3: I was like, what if I created a similar experience
Speaker 3: but just audio, and you can hear the experience as
