1
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: The Mercedes Benz Interview Lounge. We love it when Rita

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: Ara stops by. She's a good friend of the show.

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: She's got a list of things going on that's so

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: long she can't keep up with it. Ask her when

5
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: she comes in and ask her what she's doing. Well,

6
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: I'll ask her, We'll ask her, how are you doing?

7
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 1: She won't have an answer.

8
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:19,479
Speaker 2: There she is.

9
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 3: I herew that.

10
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,599

00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 2: promoting something every.

12
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: Other day because you have a list of a thousand

13
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: things to promote.

14
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: So I just want to say thank you for having

15
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 2: me back all the time when I come to New York.

16
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 2: It just doesn't make sense if I don't see you

17
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 2: and everybody, so thank you.

18
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: Ever I catch you in New York City and you

19
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: don't come to see us, it's over, actually immediate.

20
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 2: Beef, I know, right, but it's the only sort of

21
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 2: thing I really genuinely look forward to. It doesn't feel

22
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: like work.

23
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: So well, hold on, what about tonight? You're doing the

24
00:00:58,440 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: big Wimbledon on the Hill.

25
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 2: Wimbledon on the Hill is sounds like a really exciting movie,

26
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 2: doesn't it like a horror movie?

27
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: It does dombled tonight.

28
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm actually doing a complimentary performance.

29
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: Sorry wait, hold on, what does that mean you're not

30
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: getting paid? Wait no, no, no, my girl doesn't work

31

Speaker 1: for free.

32
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 2: But free is cheap and tawdry. That's why you said

33
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 2: it's another word for free.

34
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: Actually, rena means it's it's totally free to get in.

35
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: It is, but it's it's alongside American Express. You understand

36
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 2: the complimentary word. But it's definitely a fun show. We're

37
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: on at nine pm. I think it's going to beautiful

38
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: under the Brooklyn Bridge. It's going to be stunning, and

39
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 2: then for the whole weekend everybody can come down and

40
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: watch the tennis if you're a tennis fan. So it's

41
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 2: gonna be a great, great day.

42
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: This is the fourth time they've done this. By the way,

43
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: did you know.

44
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: That when I do things, pretend like it's the first,

45
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 2: it's the first and only time.

46
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: That's tonight, by the way, Yes, it's a freek Brooklyn concert.

47
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: Wimbledon's the Hill in New York Returns. It's happening at that.

48
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: Oh it's Brooklyn Bridge Park as you described. Yes, so

49
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,679
Speaker 1: it's tonight. Okay, so let's check off the list of

50
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: things that reader's doing. Elvis, great, I do, I do, No,

51
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:19,119
Speaker 1: I don't.

52
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,679
Speaker 2: That is a good answer. I do.

53
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: My hair is falling out, my tits or sag and

54
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 1: it's not good. You'll be here one day, okay, so

55
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: let's talk about let's go backward a month to the

56
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: beginning of June. Oh my gosh, Yes, when you released Heat,

57
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: the song we're about to play in a few moments.

58
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: You actually released this on the same day you did

59
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: World Pride.

60
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 2: If I recall, because I do everything for the guys.

61
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: So basically the story of my life is if there's

62
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: a Pride, I'll be there. And I just thought it

63
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 2: would make complete sense to put out my new single,

64
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 2: which is part of a bigger project album also coming

65
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 2: out later on. I would say in not this, I

66
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 2: can't say exactly when, but it's coming.

67
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: Okay, So I stopped there. We're up to three projects.

68
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: We're doing the concert, we're doing Heat, the single, and

69
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: then the new single into the new albums. We're up

70
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: to three.

71
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: Okay, just wait because there's more. So yeah, No, the

72
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 2: single was a good time to put out because it

73
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: was drawing a heat wave, which was really convenient, and

74
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 2: it was just a feeler to really connect people to

75
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: the energy of the album. And this next single, it's

76
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 2: definitely very sort of different for me, and I'm really

77
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 2: excited for it to come out.

78
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: Okay, is it a ballad?

79
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: No? Actually it's more of a waltz. No. No, but

80
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 2: that kind of feels like the right tempo. Actually, Okay,

81
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 2: if you can kind of imagine a poppy.

82
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: Version of I'm ready for it.

83
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: But it's really interesting and I hope that people really

84
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: see a different side of me. But I'm very looking

85
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 2: forward to this record.

86
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: Actually, the thing I love about Heat, it's about your

87
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: heat is on me. Yeah, Okay, I started thinking about

88
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: all the other things that you could put on someone.

89
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: I could put my heat on you. Some people put

90
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: their stink on you. Yeah, you know, I've got a grip.

91
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: Bad juju, Yeah, bad Joe. We don't like bad juju.

92
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 2: But this song is sits strictly about sweat and sunlight

93
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 2: and a golden sort of cover all over your body.

94
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: And the album isn't all based off summer, but I

95
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 2: just felt like Heat and it coming out in the

96
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,679
Speaker 2: summer made complete sense. And it's very sexy.

97
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: Okay, And choice of Vonn had something to.

98
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 2: Do and choice ofvonn Co wrote this with Leland and

99
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 2: he's a great friend of mine, and I just really

100
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: was inspired by their energy of feeling super unapologetic about

101
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 2: their sexuality and I love that and what it means

102
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: to exist like as a pop star now in my

103
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,679
Speaker 2: kind of mid thirties, and how I have grown and matured,

104
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: have been doing this now for over a decade, and

105
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: there's not a lot of artists that can say they've

106
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: had many life times in a career, especially nowadays, and

107
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 2: so I just feel so lucky, grateful, but also really

108
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 2: proud that I get to still be here and do

109
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 2: what I do.

110
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: And we're so grateful to be able to have a

111
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 1: fifty yard line seat to watch you do that. And

112
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: so that's why if you ever come to New York

113
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: and you don't come see us, find you, I.

114
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 2: Know, but I actually think you are a big part

115
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 2: of my journey, you know, a big part of my growth, Yeah,

116
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: as a person as an artist, helping me get out there,

117
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: especially here in America. And I don't forget those things,

118
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 2: and I just don't think I over will so.

119
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 4: So sweet and I know you're doing a million things,

120
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 4: and I have seen you in a hundred different stories

121
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 4: right now, great ones and so many that I'm like,

122
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 4: I need to ask her about that when she comes in. Specifically,

123
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 4: I don't even know where to start because I know three.

124
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: There are three I want to do.

125
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 4: But you said something that I think a lot of

126
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 4: people would be so jealous of that. Beyonce was once

127
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 4: your protector because there was a rumor when that Lemonade

128
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 4: album came out.

129
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: I know that you were Becky with the good hair.

130
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 2: I mean a lot of other people, well, I think named.

131
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 4: You can ask me, I would know, Okay.

132
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: Like I said when I mentioned it previously with a

133
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 2: friend of mine, I was doing a podcast. It's definitely

134
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 2: the first time I felt like, oh, okay, this is

135
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 2: what it feels like to be like a famous person

136
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 2: under some real heavy light, you know. But I was protected,

137
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 2: as I said, but previously by Beyonce, and I think

138
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 2: that it just it's really interesting. That was the first

139
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 2: time I experienced something that crazy, for sure, and on.

140
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: A massive level.

141
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 4: Because those Beehive people, they will come to stay with

142
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 4: no knowledge.

143
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: But it was always love and they brought me into

144
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 2: the game. You know, they really found me when I

145
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 2: was eighteen and I love them forever as family, and

146
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 2: you know, they always check on me.

147
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: Never messed with the high people. But I have.

148
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:35,679
Speaker 2: A can I answer Descendants question? Or please?

149
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 3: I know you have another movie on the way.

150
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: Has your life changed it all with.

151
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 3: Maybe the younger generation since you've been the Queen of

152
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 3: Hearts and Descendants?

153
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 2: I have five year old fans. It's amazing. Like I

154
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 2: go to restaurants and these kids run up to me

155
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 2: and they're like off with his head that yeah, no,

156
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 2: it's so completely fun. I mean, it's really changed. And

157
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 2: again that's kind of what makes me want to do

158
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 2: music still because it's almost like I'm reintroducing myself now

159
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 2: to a whole new fan base, you know, And I think,

160
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 2: like I want to give people inspiration that you have

161
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 2: lots of different lives that you can live in a

162
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 2: creative entertainment industry. You just have to be willing to

163
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 2: like put yourself out there and to do this like

164
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 2: villainy role. It wasn't on my cards, but when I

165
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 2: got offered and I just thought, why wouldn't I do this?

166
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 2: I love Rubul's drag Race. It's all the inspiration behind

167
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 2: the Queen of Hearts. For me, it was all based

168
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 2: off drag and that incredible kind of drama that comes

169
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 2: with the show, and I took so much inspiration. It

170
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 2: was a great challenge to do something different.

171
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: It's about moments as well. You can create reader as

172
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: you so well do. You can create the vibe of

173
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: feelings showing your pride for a group of people, and

174
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: it makes people think about the whole global aspect of it.

175
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: But the moment when that little five year old sees

176
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: you as the Queen of Hearts, there's that moment they'll

177
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: never forget for the rest of their lives. Now, when

178
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: you go out on the stage at World Pride, there's

179
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: that moment when you walked out on the stage. Everyone

180
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: watching that was like, that's that moment, those little blips

181
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: in time that are so important forevermore.

182
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 2: And that day I did Washington, it was a Washington

183
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 2: World Pride. The music cut out, it overheated, all the machinery,

184
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 2: it was like completely everything just died and I just

185
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 2: sang it all a capilla and you know what, they

186
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 2: showed up for me and everybody was like cheering me on,

187
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 2: And it was actually that it turned out for the

188
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: best and I'm really happy I was able to sing

189
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 2: it live because the mic is always on.

190
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: Honey, I want to move to this for a second.

191
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 2: Wait, New Descendants is coming out. Just okay, we've done that.

192
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 2: Now Cale's is coming out.

193
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: Do you have a date?

194
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: How do you even keep dates straight?

195
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 4: Disney?

196
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 2: It's a very lick lipped down machine. So we'll see. Well,

197
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 2: they'll announce it soon. I'm sure.

198
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: An interesting moment is occurring probably very soon on Netflix

199
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: with Building the Band, with Liam Payne in that as

200
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: as a as a guest judge. I believe we're a consultant.

201
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 2: About that show. Actually they asked me to.

202
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: Do it, you know what. And but seeing Liam again,

203
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: I know so many of Liam's fans are so excited

204
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: to see him on this show. It's going to you

205
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: very surreal. Have you? Are you gonna think about watching

206
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: it or seeing what it's all about? Will watch it?

207
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 2: That's a really great friend of mine. I still sort

208
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 2: of sort of feel him anyway, So it's fine. I mean,

209
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 2: I have the last song that I think we did

210
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 2: together as a duo, and I sing it all the time,

211
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 2: and it just feels like he's just right there. And

212
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,599
Speaker 2: we always do like a cute little moment of the

213
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,239
Speaker 2: photo of him, and it feels fantastic to just feel

214
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 2: like he's still around through music like that. That's why

215
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 2: music is so powerful, Like it really does bring back

216
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 2: a person a memory of feeling. I don't know, And

217
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 2: so yeah, I have this incredible memory with him with

218
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 2: for you, our song together, and yeah, I'll always have that.

219
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead.

220
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 3: So the first one premiered this week. Oh, I haven't

221
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 3: seen it yet, and Nicole Suerzinger was talking about being

222
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 3: there with him, and she said his whole his family

223
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 3: was there with him. So it was like the most

224
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 3: surreal thing. Like after the fact, she on the show too.

225
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 3: I think she is on definitely they watch it.

226
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 2: Sorry, I haven't seen it.

227
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 3: They asked the family's permission to actually show it because

228
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 3: they wanted to make sure they were okay well.

229
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 2: To have him sure.

230
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, well after you pass to make sure, they went

231
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 3: ahead with showing it.

232
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, And I think what's great about this, it's

233
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: a very positive piece of positive energy is what are

234
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: we doing, each and every one of us, What are

235
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: we doing in our lives as we affect other lives?

236
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: So if and when a refrigerator falls out a window,

237
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: it takes us out. We're still We're still there, you know,

238
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: you know what, vibrations will still be here after we're gone.

239
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: And I think that's what well every morning reader, when

240
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: you wake up, it's like what am I going to

241
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: do today to to be here forever?

242
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 2: Right? But also just to make a memory for yourself. Absolutely,

243
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 2: It's also kind of like you don't want to over

244
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 2: exhaust your limits and you know you are enough, and

245
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 2: I think at some point you need to just make

246
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 2: sure you make yourself happy whatever that means, you know,

247
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 2: even if it's just getting up and getting out of bit,

248
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: or if it's like going for a walk and feeling

249
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 2: the air and all of that. You know. So definitely

250
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 2: I'm more of a spiritual and I believe in you know,

251
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 2: faith and all of that, and so I I have

252
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 2: my own conversations at times, and I love them, like

253
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: you know, with my friends and my people in.

254
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: My brain, I have those two. Sometimes sometimes I do

255
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: that in front of other people, like yes, easy on

256
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,719
Speaker 1: his talking to someone and you know what, and I'll

257
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: say this about you when Rita Aora comes in and

258
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: does an interview and a conversation with us, When you

259
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: leave the room, you're the vibration is still here and there.

260
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: There are only a handful of people that we've talked

261
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: to in this room that are able to do that.

262
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 2: So well, your heat is on me, and I'm going

263
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 2: to keep my heat on you.

264
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: Have you talk about the legacy you're leaving? I mean,

265
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: I know we're talking about about death.

266
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 2: No, no, no, we're talking also about moments.

267
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 1: What do you think your legacy will be? It may

268
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: be something you really don't predetermined.

269
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 2: I've always been an open book. I don't know. I

270
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 2: think for me, I can't exactly. I wish it can

271
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 2: be that people feel like I'm their friend, like I've

272
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 2: always been the girl next door. I'm not here to

273
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 2: sort of preach or teach people anyway. I just know

274
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 2: from my own experience, I'm here to listen. I'm a

275
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 2: great listener, great friend, and I'm also I stick up

276
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 2: for the ones that I love. So I hope I

277
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 2: go away with this idea of she was always opinionated,

278
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 2: a confident and supported what she believed in. You know,

279
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 2: I think that's all you can do.

280
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: Really well, You're accomplishing this mission already.

281
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 4: That's exactly the vibe I would get from you because

282
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 4: somebody said, what's your idea of reader, Aura, That's what.

283
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 2: I would say, Oh, thank you.

284
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 4: It's true because you have gone through so many things

285
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 4: and you've come out of so many things, whether it

286
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 4: was being in like musical prison for a short amount

287
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 4: of time.

288
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 2: That's a part of this record. It's so interesting you

289
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 2: said that, I've been going through these sort of promo,

290
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 2: I guess interviews, and I've just been like, look, it

291
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 2: has been tough. Like I've always felt like I've had

292
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 2: to fight a lot of artists I think feel the

293
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 2: same way, but I felt like I always had to

294
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 2: fight for my music or the support that I specifically needed,

295
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 2: or there was a block. I had label problems, issues

296
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 2: and this and that, and you know, I can still

297
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 2: say I'm here, like it's crazy. I've got girls and

298
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 2: artists that came out the same time as me, and

299
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 2: you know, they're not really doing it as much, and

300
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 2: I just am. So it's because I'm a survivor. I've

301
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 2: got crazy work ethic. I'm proud of how hard I work,

302
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 2: like I don't get knocked down easily. And maybe because

303
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 2: I'm Albanian and I know New York.

304
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: Because a lot of them.

305
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 4: So I saw that you were the one who proposed

306
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,719
Speaker 4: to your husband. Oh yeah, And when I tell you,

307
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 4: I love that so much because how many people do

308
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 4: we know who are like, I'm in love, but I'm

309
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 4: just leaning for him to pop the question.

310
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 2: It's crazy, wait, gonna wait. It just picked up so

311
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 2: much by the way I did this three and a

312
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 2: half years ago. Guys, like the fact that people are

313
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 2: just now talking about it. I'm like, hello, I literally

314
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 2: don't see a big deal or not. I feel like

315
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 2: people think it's so unusual now, but I just feel

316
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 2: like we should make it a more normalized thing. I

317
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 2: don't if you love somebody, whether it's from the male's

318
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 2: perspective or female. I know there's traditions. I did grow

319
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 2: up with morals, et cetera, et cetera, But I do

320
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 2: believe in also trying to make your future reality when

321
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 2: you have the power to do that, right, So I

322
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 2: just didn't think that much about it. So I just

323
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 2: was like, I want to lock him down and let's

324
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 2: just see what he says.

325
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 3: Well, do you think he would have done it it

326
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 3: soon if you hadn't done it.

327
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 2: Then, I mean, he's only human.

328
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: It was coming.

329
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 2: You know, no, I hope, I hope he wouldn't ask. Yeah,

330
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 2: I kind of didn't think about it. I just knew

331
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 2: I wanted it to happen. And you know, he was like,

332
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 2: what are you doing? Get up?

333
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: Okay was what you're envisioning? Yeah?

334
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 2: Weird? Get up? Yes, okay, get up?

335
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: What was the same thing with Alex and me? Were

336
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: two guys? Okay, Well, traditionally, you know, what do we do?

337
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 2: Do you?

338
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: You do it? You do it, and it turned into.

339
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 2: It you both do it at the same time. Did

340
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 2: you give him an engagement gift?

341
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 3: Because I gave my husband a computer for our engagement

342
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 3: were round in a new computers.

343
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 2: That's what I got. Practical we still just do my

344
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 2: I would have just wedding gifts. We don't do sort

345
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 2: of the engagement process.

346
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 3: How are you supposed to That's what I had heard,

347
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 3: that you give an engagement gift because we get the ring.

348
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 3: Well maybe not in your case, because it was.

349
00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 2: I made myself.

350
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: He it's even better.

351
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 2: But then obviously the wedding he got me an incredible wing.

352
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 4: So like, these are the good things we talk about

353
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 4: all the time. If you wait for the moment to

354
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 4: be right. You can spend your whole life just waiting

355
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 4: on things and you could die tomorrow.

356
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: Anything could happen.

357
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,239
Speaker 4: So if you want something to make it happen.

358
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 2: Yes, And I do think that comes with conversations like

359
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 2: I know some people aren't as confident or you know,

360
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 2: don't believe in themselves that much, but it really is

361
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 2: out of your control. If you can't control it anyway,

362
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 2: then what is the point on dwelling on it?

363
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: Amen? So you're going out to Fire Island this weekend?

364
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 2: How do you know?

365
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: Don't tell you?

366
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 2: Is there like a whispering in the Fire Island?

367
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: You're all talking about the busy? Are you going to

368
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: cherry go over the pines? Which one are you going to?

369
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know, I've never been, but everybody's telling

370
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: me to just buckle up.

371
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: I hope you.

372
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 2: Really so much fun?

373
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: Are you performing or just going to performing?

374
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 2: And I'm going to go and get my best life?

375
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 2: And it's in the afternoon. I love a good day

376
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 2: drinking and then I'm just going to sort of potentially

377
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 2: pass out because I'm awfu on Sunday. So I'm going

378
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 2: to really go for it.

379
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: You're gonna love it. I'm so excited many times.

380
00:15:58,520 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 2: Really, is it fun?

381
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: Yeah? It is fine from what I recall.

382
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 2: But everyone tells me it's literally a game changer, so

383
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 2: I'm really.

384
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: Excited it is. It puts a gay in game changer. So, okay,

385
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: before you leave, this album is coming out at some

386
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: point soon. I'm assuming I tell you everything. What's going on?

387
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: You don't have to give us a date. That's cool,

388
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: But what's going on in this album? From your point

389
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: of view? When we listen to it, we may hear

390
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: something totally different, but from your point.

391
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 2: Of view, you know, when you drink a really cold

392
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 2: drink and you get a brain freeze, it's that. Is that?

393
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: Good?

394
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 2: Yeah?

395
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: And bad, which is what I love.

396
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 2: I wanted people to feel a little bit uncomfortable. Let's

397
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 2: not use the word bad because that's negative. Just let's

398
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 2: say uncomfortable. I wanted people to feel like, what's you know?

399
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 2: I wanted it to have that feeling of like, what's that? Okay,

400
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 2: I get it? So, you know, I think that there's

401
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: an essence of different definitely different production, incredible challenging kind

402
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 2: of vocal ability, Like I'm not sort of blasting as

403
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 2: much vocally, I'm way more talking using my accine. I

404
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 2: feel like I'm whispering in your ear. There's way more

405
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 2: into see. I'm celebrating my sexuality as a woman. I'm

406
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 2: feeling kind of in my body. You know. My last

407
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 2: album called You, and I was really inspired by my relationship.

408
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 2: You know, I got married around that period. Blah blah

409
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 2: blah blah, boring, boring, boring stuff now and I just

410
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 2: wanted to feel really in my skin. And that's what

411
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 2: this album is about.

412
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: It's about that, and it's coming out sometime.

413
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 2: It will be out probably near the for Sea in future,

414
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,120

Speaker 2: be right right here.

416
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, I said it tonight.

417
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 2: I was like, hey, by the way, I'm coming back
