Speaker 2: And I'll be very honest. We're not this nice to anyone, really, No,

19
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: we're very very acidic and awful.

20
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: Even though I stole your cereal.

21
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 4: We'll get into that, probably because you stole his serial.

22
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: I do truly believe that the music that you are presenting,

23
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 2: not only tonight at jingle Ball here at the Garden,

24
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: but to all of your fans and around the world

25
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: is a great moment for music because it's proof that

26
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,919
Speaker 2: music that sounds like it's from any era is great music.

27
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 2: And you've done it. I mean, are you tired of

28
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 2: talking about how your sound is so different than other

29
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 2: artists your age? Let's say, no, not at all.

30
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: I mean to me, like, I just sing the music

31
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: and make the music that comes most naturally to me,

32
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: like I sound. I feel like my voice just sits

33
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: the best in that kind of style, this kind of

34
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 1: mid century more like jazz style. So I'm just happy

35
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: that I get to do what I love and that

36
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: anybody's listening, and especially young people. I think growing up,

37
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: this was the music I loved and kind of felt

38
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: like I was the only one who enjoyed it. And

39
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: to now get to be a part of a big

40
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: community that enjoys the same kind of music as me

41
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: is really really cool.

42
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 2: How many of you in this room grew up with

43
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: great parents who had excellent music in the house from

44
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: all all generations. Yes, yeah, absolutely, me too, And we

45
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 2: had Bostonova in our house, lots of it, and I

46
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 2: ays thought to my mom and dad, you know, shaking martinis,

47
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: and that's why I learned how to shake martinis at

48
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 2: the age of eight. While listening to music that you're

49
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 2: now singing, I feel kind of drunk. Every time they

50
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 2: hear your music, it's going to Oh.

51
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: Honestly, I'm so happy that it has that effect that

52
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: means it like transports you to a different, different place

53
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: of drunkness.

54
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: But I will say a lot of people are surprised

55
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 2: at the fact that there are people ages twelve, thirteen,

56
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: fourteen years old who are huge, huge fans of your

57
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,119
Speaker 2: music and we never ever thought in a million years

58
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 2: they would be locked into it. Do you have an

59
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 2: explanation why this is happening the way it's happening.

60
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: I think maybe older generations just like underestimate the ability

61
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: of young people to be able to listen to whatever music.

62
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: I think if twelve year olds would have enjoyed it

63
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: in the fifties, there's no reason they shouldn't enjoy it now.

64
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: It's not like brains have completely changed that at least

65
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: that drastically, and that they can't enjoy that music. I mean,

66
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: I always thought like, there totally is space in the

67
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: gen Z brain for this kind of music. It's just

68
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: I don't think we've given young people the space to

69
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: even take on that kind of music. It's like we

70
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,119
Speaker 1: just expect young people to only like whatever is new

71
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: and noisy, Like growing up, I loved One Direction and Bach,

72
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: you know, and it's like you can love both.

73
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 3: My sixteen year old loves you and Kendrick Lamar, so.

74
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: It really exactly.

75
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 3: I think social media for you has been so huge

76
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 3: because he watches YouTube religiously, my sixteen year old, and

77
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 3: he came to us and was like, oh, I love her,

78
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 3: and that's where he found you. But yet my husband

79
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 3: found you a different way, or my older son found

80
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 3: you a different way. So very interesting.

81
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: So as you're driving to work right now or wherever

82
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 2: you're listening to us, you have been sucked in and

83
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 2: you're wondering who this is. It's lay if you're just

84
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 2: turning us on. If you missed the beginning of this conversation,

85
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: you have to go back and listen to us on

86
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 2: the podcast Gandhi, Yes, who met you backstage at the garden?

87
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 4: Yeah? Uh yeah, you were at the garden not too

88
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 4: long ago, and Andrew and I went to the show

89
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 4: and it was incredible. It was when Lin Manuel Miranda

90
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 4: came on stage with you so great, Which is leading

91
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 4: me to my question, how has this been for you?

92
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 4: Because I know that you've been at it for a while,

93
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 4: but it's sort of been an onslaught more recently of

94
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 4: touring now these huge arenas and a lot more fame

95
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 4: in your face, How is that working out for you?

96
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: It's it's definitely weird. It's odd to have a phone

97
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: thrust in your face.

98
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot.

99
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: I'm really lucky though. I feel like my my community,

100
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: my fan base is really extra kind, even like I

101
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: had a pit in my concert, but it was like

102
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: I would go on social media afterwards and hear about

103
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: how it was like the most respectful pitch and nobody

104
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: had been in and yeah, and we hear from the

105
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: venues too that there were very low, you know amounts

106
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: of people that like people weren't getting in fights or bodysurfing,

107
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: nobody surfing, no like physical like very few medical emergencies

108
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 1: like really yeah, which listen, the pit is just a

109
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: ton of teenagers and like young people in their twenties,

110
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: like it's it is a miracle. And they're standing there

111
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: like probably dehydrated, with their knees locked. Like the fact

112
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: that they're not passing out as much is like, I

113
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,119
Speaker 1: think it's a good I think it's a good sign

114
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: people have like a little sense of personal space, which

115
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: is nice. But no, it's I feel so so so

116
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: lucky every single day to get to do what I love.

117
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: It makes me believe in dreams. I know that sounds

118
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: so cheesy, but this thing that I wanted to do

119
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 1: growing up, it felt so odd and far sought and

120
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: something that didn't happen to people like me. Every night,

121
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: when I'm up on stage and I look out into

122
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: the audience and I see so many young people with

123
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: big I'm like, you gotta at least try. That's like

124
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: the one message I want to send out because if

125
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: it happened to me, it can happen to anybody else.

126
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 4: So that was gonna be my other question to you,

127
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 4: because when I said lin Manuel, Miranda, you made this

128
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 4: face like, oh my god, and it was crazy. We

129
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 4: were screaming. I'm sure inside you were screaming a little

130
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 4: bit too.

131
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: That was the loudest guest on the entire tour was it.

132
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 4: I was going to ask if there was a moment

133
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 4: for you that you kind of had to pinch yourself

134
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 4: because you're like, Wow, this is now happening, and it's

135
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 4: happening to me because of me, I think.

136
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: I mean every night on tour MSG my parents were there,

137
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: So that felt very emotional. And I think just the

138
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: sheer volume of it was just quite overwhelming. I mean,

139
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: I come from a country of three hundred and fifty

140
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: four hundred thousand people, so to see that, like two

141
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: nights in a row, that amount of people in Marena,

142
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: It's like, that's my entire city, you know.

143
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 2: Wow.

144
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: And so I think that was really definitely a pinch

145
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: me moment.

146
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 2: I need to go back to something you said before

147
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 2: I forget. You were talking about dreams and this show

148
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 2: is so about you got to have a dream right

149
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 2: at all times. But you said, I can't believe I'm

150
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 2: paraphrasing someone like me is actually watching this dream come true.

151
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 2: What do you mean by that? Like, what do you

152
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 2: mean somebody like you? How do you frame yourself as

153
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 2: a child, as that person who had that dream and

154
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 2: you can't believe it's coming true?

155
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: First, first off, I'm from Iceland, which.

156
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 2: Is what's wrong with that.

157
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: We love Iceland, we love Iceland, but Iceland's very far away.

158
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: It's a remote island surrounded by ocean, and it has

159
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: its own language and is very it's very removed from

160
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: the rest of the world. I mean, growing up there,

161
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: even sitting in a room like this seemed completely impossible.

162
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: And I mean I grew up a classical musician and

163
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: there's nobody that I could look up on stage and

164
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: point to and be like, oh, they look like me

165
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: or sound like me. I'm a mix of many cultural backgrounds.

166
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: It's really hard to describe me in one sentence, Like

167
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: you have to use five sentences.

168
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 2: To say, okay, go, We'll give you room for five

169
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 2: sentences to just describe who you are.

170
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: Where you're from, icelandic Chinese musical theater, jazz obsessed cellist, pianist, songwriter.

171
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 2: Cerial thief, cereal thief, she stolen cereal.

172
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: You know, I'm a multi hyphen in every single way.

173
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: And I didn't have the proof. There wasn't anyone who

174
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: looked or sounded like me.

175
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 2: But look, you had it all along, you had that magic,

176
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 2: and here you are today.

177
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: And that's why I believe so much and dreamed.

178
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 3: And you bet Bruce Springsteen for a Grammy Award. I

179
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 3: mean that pins me moments. How about that in twenty

180
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 3: twenty four?

181
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that was absolutely crazy. I was not

182
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: expecting it at all. I mean a nomination was shocking enough.

183
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: And yeah, that was definitely one of those.

184
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 2: Like is this real life? Lave is here? She'll be

185
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,400

00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 2: question you about eating too much raisin bran? Is it

211
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 2: like building condos in your cold?

212
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 5: Wow?

00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: Fiber? Well, the kids aren't eating enough fiber these days.

Speaker 1: Away from me. You know what I love about America

226
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: is like if they have an idea, they execute and

227
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: it's like it doesn't always need to be thought out,

228
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: but it is always executed, which is really really I

229
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:42,040

254
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 6: Loved.

255
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 3: Would you do Broadway? Are you interested in doing Broadway?

256
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: Absolutely?

257
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 2: I would love just in my dream too. So when

258
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 2: I walk on Broadways, it's as close as I'll ever

259
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 2: get it.

260
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: You're going to do it.

261
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 2: I buy nuts on Broadway. I just okay.

262
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 4: So we keep talking about how your music is this

263
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 4: very classical, jazzy, different genre, but you're still writing about

264
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 4: everyday things. You're writing about breakups, very specific breakups, seems.

265
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

266
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 4: When you are in the dating world and you write

267
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 4: these songs, do you let someone know ahead of time, Hey,

268
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 4: this is coming. Do you wait for them to just

269
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 4: hear it? And have they reached out?

270
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: No?

271
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 4: No to all of it.

272
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: Well, I just like, even if they did, I'd say no,

273
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: because I think with an every single song, there is

274
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: a line of ambiguity, perhaps a little bit of fiction,

275
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 1: a little bit of exaggerating. Sometimes it's toning it down

276
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: to save their face, you know.

277
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 2: Nice.

278
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, exactly. So there's no song that's like one

279
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: hundred percent accurate in that sense. And I think if

280
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 1: you're dating me, you know what you're getting into.

281
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 2: But even great relationships have breakups. You can still write

282
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 2: a great thing about someone who maybe screwed you over

283
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 2: or something.

284
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: I can write a full song about an intrusive thought,

285
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: So like I could like I could be I'm a

286
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: very anxiously attached person and if I have a thought that,

287
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: oh my god, they're gonna break up with me, I

288
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: could write a whole song about that.

289
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 6: Wow.

290
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'm watching a movie and I'm like whoa, and

291
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: then I write about that.

292
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 4: I picture someone like not doing the dishes and you're

293
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 4: busting out your pad like, well, well, well what have

294
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 4: we here.

295
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: It'll be like me down to sleep and didn't text

296
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: good night, and it'll be like it's over now, I'll

297
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: never see you again.

298
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 2: Well, this is where these songs come from. This is

299
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 2: where there's lyrics come from. I mean, I don't I

300
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 2: don't like to use the word trigger, but sometimes things

301
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 2: and life just trigger a thought an emotion and you

302
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 2: write a song about it and you get a Grammy.

303
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: No big deal.

304
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 3: Oh can I say something about your YouTube page?

305
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 5: Oh?

306
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 1: Please?

307
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 3: I noticed today just put up a little Christmas scene

308
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 3: like kind of like not a yule log, but it's

309
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 3: like a fireplace and a little thing going on, and

310
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 3: it's kind of like you can have it on in

311
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 3: the background and it's all your music, it is. How

312
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 3: did you.

Speaker 5: You're no stalk away, It's yeah, we put up I

315
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 5: am an incredibly indecisive person and I have a really
