Did you 12 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,880 Speaker 1: actually have to audition or was it we want her? Yes, 13 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 1: I did have to audition. It was right when the 14 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 1: pandemic started, so it was like the time of like 15 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 1: when self tapes really took off, and I was like, oh, 16 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: I love this it has like music and God and 17 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: things like that. How film my self tape for me? 18 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 1: I had to sing a gospel song. I chose I 19 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: Love the Lord by Whitney Houston, and then I sang 20 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: a modern song which I did Honeymoon Avenue by Arianna Grande, 21 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: and I submitted it. I didn't hear anything for a minute, 22 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: and then finally I got the call and they were like, 23 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: they want you to be there, Sam, I was like, 24 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: oh really. So then fast forward around two years later, 25 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: we finally went into production. So yeah, I knew I 26 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: had this part for a while and timing is everything, right, 27 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: you know, So I'm just really happy with how it 28 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: all worked out. I think it's great because, like you said, 29 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: timing is everything, and you have a lot of really 30 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: positive things happening right now. Thank You album is out 31 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 1: in Pieces. Originally that album was called Chloe. Yes, okay, 32 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: so in Pieces you said, you know, I'm gonna change 33 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: the name because yes, I just how the album formed. 34 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: It just represented such a deeper meaning to me, and 35 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: I wanted to be honest even through the title. I 36 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: didn't just want to be cliche and call it Chloe 37 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: unless it was a specific reason too, not just because 38 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: it's my name and the someone's calling Louis Armstrong. Sample 39 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: the Chloe song is from Swamp Song that was always 40 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: track number one, so I always knew it would start 41 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: with singing my name. However, I just the project evolved 42 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,839 Speaker 1: into three different projects, so it just it felt more 43 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: honest to call it in pieces after the title track, Okay, 44 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: I like that. Yeah, And you know what I love 45 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 1: because they, you know, have been artists for such a 46 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: long time, and you've been developing and growing and everything. 47 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, I know, I've been like watching 48 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: their career for such a long time, and I'm happy, 49 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,679 Speaker 1: like to see you just turning into like your own 50 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: individual woman beating out to your first ever, you know, 51 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: solo album, but then also starring it. It's like all 52 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: happened at the same time, right, And I think over 53 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: the years when I was like God, like when is it, 54 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: you know, gonna happen, or like when is it all 55 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: gonna lay out? And I just I've learned even more 56 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: to trust God because I couldn't have planned out a 57 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: better timing right for everything, like right after Swarm my album, 58 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: right after my album Praises, right after Praise this tour. 59 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: So it's just a really exciting time for me. You 60 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: got a lot going on. Is you have film, you 61 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 1: have music? Is it overwhelming at all? And then when 62 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: it becomes overwhelming, how do you handle it the actual 63 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: act of doing it. It's not overwhelming at all because 64 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 1: it's my favorite thing. In the world and everything that 65 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: I've been praying for is here, and the blessings have 66 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: been overflowing. So I'm a workaholic. I can never have 67 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: too much work, Like even with the press days that 68 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 1: all of us have been on, like this whole week, 69 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: barely sleeping. I've just been excited through it all. I've 70 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: been giggling through like being tired. But other than that, 71 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: my spirits have been really high because this is what 72 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: I've been asking for. There are times where it does 73 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: get overwhelming. I'm not gonna lie about that, but my 74 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: love for what I do always outweighs that. How do 75 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: you handle when you're overwhelmed? What do you do? I 76 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: pray a lot. I will call my god mom and 77 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: rant and Vince so she can call me down. I'll 78 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: cuddle my kid and apollo. I'll eat my favorite dessert, 79 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: and I'll take a quick nap and then I wake 80 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: up and I'm backing better. That's perfect. It's like the 81 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: time make it look easy, yes, right, because that is true. 82 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: You have to go do these interviews. You have to 83 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: be on. When you're in set, you have to be on, 84 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: when you're on stage, you have to be on. And 85 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: I think you're on more than you're off, you know, 86 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: like you have to. That's true. I think people see 87 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 1: me on more, right, But I'm kind of off a lot. 88 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: It's funny. I tell people there's only two sides of me. 89 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: It's either drab or fab. Like when I'm at home, 90 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: I'm always in sweat me no makeup, My edges aren't 91 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: brushed back like that sounds like. But but like we say, 92 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 1: still cute. Though still cute right that you know you 93 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: can turn it on yea. And people probably even like dating. 94 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: They probably love that even more. You know how guys 95 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 1: love I mean, when you're not, they say they do. 96 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: You don't believe that. I don't know, like guys are 97 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: I can't figure them out. Well, no one can't. They can't. 98 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: But whoever I am with, I am completely myself, So 99 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: they'll see me like drab most of the time unless 100 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: I go out and then they have to be. It 101 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:13,919 Speaker 1: has to be a hard thing though, to date you. 102 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: That's not easy. Maybe because of my schedule too, Yeah, 103 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: maybe because of my schedule. But I'm I'm a quite 104 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: easy person to be honest. I'm I'm really fair and 105 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: I don't interest what do you mean give me. What 106 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: do you mean I'm fair, I don't. I don't go 107 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: through people's phone, Okay, I don't just cause drama for 108 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: no reason. Sometimes I can be petty, but very past 109 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: aggressively and that's only in retaliation, okay. Yes, And I 110 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 1: don't yell at all, that's me. I never Yeah. Yeah. 111 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 1: If I'm mad at you, I'll talk to you just 112 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 1: like this and when do you Yeah? And I also 113 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: don't like people to yell at me. That's a red 114 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: flag for me. If you ever raise your voice to me, 115 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,040 Speaker 1: or I ever feel like if you call on me 116 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 1: at my name, Oh no, that's a rap. Yeah. I 117 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: never yell. I don't. Only time I yells when I'm singing, 118 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 1: that makes sense. Yeah, But for me, I don't like 119 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: aggression from a guy. So if he's like getting loud, 120 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: I'm like, you can take it down because we're adults 121 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: and we need to speak as such. Just like I 122 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: should respect you, you you should respect me. So I'm pretty 123 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: chill and easy, but schedule possibly right, Yeah, and you're 124 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 1: super booked and busy.

There wasn't 131 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: a dull moment on set at all. There was no drama, nothing. 132 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: It was just really fun. And I'm happy that light 133 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: and positive energy was only created while we were shooting 134 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: a movie that's about that, right and where the message 135 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: and the core of it is positive, because we don't 136 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: want to have drama and bad attitudes and energy on 137 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: set for a movie that's supposed to heal and bring 138 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: joy and laughter into people's lives. So I had the 139 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: absolute best time. I also like seeing you as a 140 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,239 Speaker 1: brat at first when you came on there.

I didn't know you have that side, 143 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: but I mean it's acting. I don't. However, it was 144 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: nice to use it as an outlet. So like all 145 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: the things that I wanted to say to people that 146 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: I didn't or energy that I wanted to give to 147 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: somebody and I don't, I got to do it through 148 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: Sam Okay, I tell your interview with Latta two, which 149 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: I thought was nice. You guys do have a nice 150 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: bond from working on lease It together, from you, like 151 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: you know, rolling up on her at the red carpet, 152 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: and that's important to when this business. No person is 153 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: an island and it's hard to do it like on 154 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: your own. You've been fortunate, you know, obviously having Helley 155 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 1: with you when you guys first, I'll never forget when 156 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: you started your own Instagram page and it was like, 157 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: oh my god, it's wild. I never understood why. I 158 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: think we were introduced to you. It wasn't just you, 159 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: it was two of you, so we always kind of 160 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: grouped you together. So we were like, oh my gosh. 161 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: And then we were young. We just know it was 162 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: harder for us than it obviously was for you. Yeah, 163 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: that's so fun. I know, what a wild time I 164 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: know and that. But anyway, I was talking about that 165 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: because but a lotto like you guys had a nice 166 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 1: conversation about like relationships and dating, and then I was 167 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 1: thinking about how people say, oh press is good press, right, 168 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 1: and whether or not that's true. You know, that remains 169 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: to be seen because some press is stress. That's true, 170 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: that's true. But what I like is, like you addressed 171 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: the Quavo dating rumors, you were like, I don't know 172 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: where that came from. Y'all were just But do you 173 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: find that like even just taking a picture with somebody 174 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: or working with somebody means oh my guy, people now 175 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 1: I have to let people know where not dating? Oh? Absolutely. 176 00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 1: I mean if you think about it, any guy I 177 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: stand next to you, you see the picture go up 178 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: online and they're like they're together. Even with Swarm with Damson, 179 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: because we were in a relationship in the show, We're like, oh, 180 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: do they have something? And it's things like that, So 181 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: I'm used to it. To be honest, I don't really 182 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: mind that was foul, by the way, I just want 183 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: to say how he was looking at your sister and Swarm. 184 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: Like Rights shows, it's a psychological thriller. It makes you think, 185 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,079 Speaker 1: so of course all the scenes have to be disturbing. Yeah, 186 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: it made me think of the song cheap Back. You know, now, listen, 187 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: that's gonna be a real thing because you know that 188 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,719 Speaker 1: hurts guy's hearts. Yes, when they think about what they 189 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: do to you if you do it. Back to them, 190 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: They're like, oh wait, wait, wait, hold on, hold on. 191 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 1: But for some reason, I can't see you being petty 192 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: and vindictive like that. I'm not petty and vindictive, but 193 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: well no, petty, yes, not vindictive, but I just don't 194 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: like getting played. I don't think anybody's enjoy it. What's 195 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: the pettiest thing you've ever done in terms of like 196 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: to a guy or in a relationship or in a 197 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: situation or cheat back? Okay, the pettiest thing. So I 198 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: did an album listening session on amp with Nessa and 199 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: she asked me this, and I was like after the fact, 200 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,719 Speaker 1: after I found out he cheated, and we were like 201 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: on the way out because of that, I was like, 202 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: you know what, Yeah he did got her that? Yeah? 203 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: Did Technically? Do you feel like you need closure when 204 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: something comes to and and are you okay with just 205 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,839 Speaker 1: walking away? I'm okay with walking away every relationship. I've 206 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:40,199 Speaker 1: done that because anytime I am made to feel less 207 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: than what I know I should receive, I just exit 208 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: the premises. And people never really believe me because I'm 209 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: really kind and I don't yell and I don't bring 210 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 1: up problems or anything. But I'm like, you have one chance, 211 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:54,959 Speaker 1: you mess it up and you won't hear from me again, 212 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: And yeah, one chance is harsh though no, it depends 213 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: on it though it send what the mess up is 214 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: kind of? I mean, a mess up to me is cheating, okay, 215 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 1: I mean we're eating. Yeah, we're flawed, so nobody's going 216 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: to be perfect. So it's not for me to sit 217 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 1: there and nitpick at somebody's character. But if you are 218 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: disrespecting me, then I shouldn't put up with that. You know, 219 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: did somebody ask you are we to be their girlfriend nowadays? 220 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 1: Or does it just happen? I need you to officially 221 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: say it out loud? Yeah, I think. I think I 222 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: can get confusing sometimes because if you don't say it 223 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: in my head, we're just talking, and then I don't 224 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: want to look like a full thinking we're together. Can 225 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:37,719 Speaker 1: you date more than one person at a time and 226 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: that's not official? No, it's even going out. It's the 227 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: cancer in me, I'll like, I've tried before, but I 228 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: can't do it. What is it about multiple dating multiple 229 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: man that you can't kind of wrap your mind around, 230 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: or that you don't like? When I like somebody, I'm 231 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,319 Speaker 1: like loyal to that person got Okay, Yeah, it's it's 232 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: quite hard. And even the past year i've been single, 233 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: I haven't really been talking to anybody or anything. I've 234 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: just been focused on myself, on the project, and to 235 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 1: be honest, it's been really healing. And the Valentine's Day 236 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: that just passed, it was just me and my kitten. 237 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 1: I ordered my favorite vegan dessert and we just sat 238 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: on the couch and he cuddled me. Now I was 239 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: happy I had cuddles. Okay, so I wouldn't be like 240 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: I'm alone on Valentine's Day. But I think I needed 241 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: this time, and I need this time because when I'm 242 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: in love, I like give give my all to that person, 243 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: and I think this is a time I have to 244 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: give that to myself. So yeah, and it allows you 245 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: to really focus to eat. Sometimes you get thrown off, 246 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: like imagine you're fighting with you man, and now I 247 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: gotta go do this press right, Yeah you know. Now 248 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 1: I gotta go on set and and praise praise this. 249 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: Yes literally, you know what I mean. But that's not 250 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: an easy thing to do, like you said, and you know, 251 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: I bring it back again to make it look easy. 252 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: It's not easy when you have things going on in 253 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: your real life and you have to put on a 254 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 1: happy phase, you know, and be professional and do things 255 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, it can be. It could be quite 256 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: difficult at times, but everybody's going through something, and no 257 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: matter if you're in the industry or if you work 258 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: at a grocery store, or you're a nurse or a 259 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 1: single mom, any walk of life, we all have to 260 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: like put our problems in our deeper emotions and what 261 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: we're going through to the side and like put on 262 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: a front every time we walk out the door. So 263 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: it's not just me because I have a platform where 264 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,199 Speaker 1: people can nitpick and say things, but it's with everybody 265 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: you you like, Yeah, that's the thing that I think 266 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: we all have to be honest about instead of letting 267 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: people think that we think we're all perfect. I think 268 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: when people feel less alone is when it's like, yeah, 269 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,959 Speaker 1: I'm going through some shit, but it's about how you 270 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 1: get back up at the end of the day. And 271 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: that's why I wrote the project. That's why I called 272 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,199 Speaker 1: it that. Yeah, that's what I liked about your interview 273 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: with loud of because y'all have friends for you guys 274 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: to talk about things in your life, like she really 275 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: opened up to you too, It's like you were interviewing 276 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: her also. But I thought that was nice because young 277 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: people need to see that we all have a lot 278 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: of insecure and listen to us too. You know, we 279 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: all have a lot of insecurities and things that we 280 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: deal with and sometimes it's hard and painful to say 281 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: them out loud. But like you said, if it can 282 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: help somebody. I saw you on Tarren Hall also, Yes, Yes, 283 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: that was fun. Yeah, And you were really open and 284 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: honest about even just dealing with depression. And I feel 285 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: like that's something that people are feeling more comfortable being 286 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: able to say right now, or even being able to 287 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: identify yeah you know, So how did you identify that? 288 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: How I identified it? I think when you are stuck 289 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: in an emotion for a little too long, that's when 290 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: you're like, wait, yeah, is this normal? Am I supposed 291 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: to be feeling like this? Is? Just to season things 292 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 1: like that? So I think the first step is acknowledging it, 293 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: and then you can do the work to progress from 294 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: that space. How did you come out of depression or 295 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: how do you what do you do to kind of 296 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: help you get out of that space? God Prayer a 297 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: lot of nights sleeping on my god mom's couch, talking 298 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: to my siblings system. I really do. I really do, 299 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: and I couldn't have done it without them, to be 300 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: honest with you. And I use music as my therapy 301 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: to like pull me out of it. And now I'm like, Okay, 302 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: the music that I created to heal myself, I hope 303 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: that I can use the same body of work to 304 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: start a healing process for even one person. We were 305 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: had a conversation the other day. Since you talked about 306 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: your godmother, you know, on multiple occasions about god parents, 307 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: they picked a good well for you.

Hallie, who was my best friend. 319 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: She's doing her own thing, so I at least have 320 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: someone who can anchor me and keep me okay. But 321 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: I love her to death and I had to beg 322 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: her to manage me. She was like no, no, And 323 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: even her coming around me, I had to beg her 324 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 1: because she doesn't like like being seen.

Because even the music that 331 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: you're saying and topics that you guys talk about and 332 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: moralistically just the thing the theme of the movie, right, 333 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: did that help you too? Absolutely? I don't think. I 334 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 1: don't even think you guys know this, But with who can? 335 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: I run to the last song that I had to 336 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: sing in the arcade when I had to cut it 337 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: in the studio, the lyrics like really resonated with me 338 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 1: and like ripped out my heart, Like I think I 339 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 1: had to go to the bathroom and I like cried 340 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 1: for five minutes, and I came like I then I 341 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: wiped my tears and I walked back in there with 342 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: Tank and Harvey was like, Okay, I'm good, let's go. 343 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,920 Speaker 1: So I don't even think they knew that, but playing Sam, 344 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: I saw a piece of Chloe within Sam, and I 345 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: was happy that I was able to portray her in 346 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 1: an honest way. And you're and you're after this, You're 347 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 1: going to do your own solo tour, yes, which I'm 348 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: excited about. Man, what can we expect? What's the preparation 349 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 1: been like? Give us something. The preparation has been a 350 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 1: whirlwind because I'm promoted the album, the show, the movie 351 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 1: and trying to fit tour rehearsal in that. It's been crazy. 352 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 1: But I have the best team in the entire world. 353 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 1: You know. My choreographer choreographed the moves in four days, 354 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,719 Speaker 1: and my four girl dancers have been going ham in 355 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 1: rehearsals and it's just been really exciting. So I hope 356 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: people like it. I'll be performing all the songs from 357 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: the album, okay, so it's literally like an album like show, 358 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 1: so it'll be really exciting to do. And we're already 359 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 1: thinking about adding some more dates, so maybe my favorite 360 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 1: part of touring. So this is my first solo headlining tour, 361 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,439 Speaker 1: but when I've toured with Ciss in the past, my 362 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 1: favorite part. I love the bunks on the tour bus. Yeah, 363 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 1: I could see that. I get the best sleep. Yes, 364 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: I get the best sleep. I don't know if it's 365 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 1: the rocking of the bus. I don't know what it is, 366 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: but that's one of my favorites. And of course going 367 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 1: on stage every night, like that's the place where I 368 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 1: feel the most confident. The Chloe people think I am 369 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 1: that's it, that's that's her on the stage. When I 370 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,160 Speaker 1: get off the stage, I go back to he you know. 371 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: So it's funny. Yeah, And then I do want to say, man, 372 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,919 Speaker 1: you've been looking amazing too, Like following you on social 373 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: media and seeing your posted pictures, I'm always like, she's 374 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: just such a beautiful, beautiful person. Thank you. But it's 375 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,959 Speaker 1: not even just you know, physically, but it's also your spirit. 376 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: Thank you, and that's always come through. Thank you. Yeah. 377 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 1: I wish like the people online who say stuff about me, 378 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: I'm always like, man, I wish you could be be 379 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: in person. I'm really cool. I'm really they wouldn't say 380 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: that in person. Yeah. Well, the other thing is too, 381 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,880 Speaker 1: I think that understanding that there's a lot of people 382 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: who are not happy with their own selves and their 383 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: own lives. I think it is it's an epidemic. You know, 384 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,400 Speaker 1: that's true, and it does make people feel like they 385 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: need to say negative things, but that's like a reflection 386 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: of your own self feel that way, and so you know, 387 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: you always have to give grace. Yeah, And then at 388 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: the same time, I can't really fault them, because none 389 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: of us are supposed to like everything, right, You can't 390 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 1: please everybody, just as much as you can't like everything. 391 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: And I get it to a certain extent because they've 392 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: seen me since I was thirteen, right, well younger eight 393 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 1: from like Tyler Perry stuff and everything. So I get it. 394 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: But I'm like, okay, guys, I'm gonna be twenty five 395 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 1: in July, and they've all been eight, and they've all 396 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 1: been thirteen, and then they all will grow up, you know, 397 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: god willing, and be twenty five, and you know some 398 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: people grow past that, and you know, you have to 399 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: allow that evolution to happen. I just don't like when 400 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,199 Speaker 1: I see you like I'm I'm so sorry. You know, 401 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: I just hopefully honestly, that's great because the only time 402 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: I really know something went down is if I'll go 403 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 1: like in interviews or people ask me about it, like 404 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 1: the whole thing that happened with the show a month ago, 405 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: They're like, how do you feel? It's like, I'm fantastic 406 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: because I wasn't seeing any of that. That's what I 407 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 1: do too. But I tell you, every time if something 408 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: happens to me, I just get offline. Yeah, I stay 409 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: off for a few days and then it passes. Yeah, 410 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: you know, people find something else to be mad about 411 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,959 Speaker 1: cycles just a few days. So true, But I'll tell 412 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: you something that makes me think about it in like 413 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: a really positive way. I always feel like because I'm 414 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,640 Speaker 1: such like a huge music lover and a fan, and 415 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,479 Speaker 1: like I do all my research and stuff. All of 416 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,640 Speaker 1: like my favorites, they've all had like a moment early 417 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: in their career where no one really liked them. And 418 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: and even recently when I watched it was so incredible, 419 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 1: the Waitney Houston biopic. You know, they used to boo her. 420 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: They booed her at the Soul Train Awards because they 421 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: said she wasn't black enough. They would look down on 422 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: Janet Jackson because they said she was too sexy. Same 423 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: with Sheila E and Donna Summer with how she'd moan 424 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: in the songs and be sexual with the songs and 425 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: things like that. So when I think about because before 426 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: I used to not understand it, and I used to 427 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: be like, what's is there something wrong with me? I 428 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: don't know what I'm doing? But now I'm like, Okay, 429 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: maybe maybe it's a rite of passage, sign of greatness. 430 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe it's God telling me, Chloe, maybe just hold 431 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: on a little longer. So I don't expect everyone to 432 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: like me, and I don't expect everyone to enjoy my 433 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: music or what I do. I'm happy that they're tuning 434 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,919 Speaker 1: in and they're listening, so I don't fault them for 435 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,400 Speaker 1: it either. I just it's up to me to decide 436 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 1: what I give my attention to. So then that's why 437 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,159 Speaker 1: I just don't look And can we just say how 438 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: much I love the fact that you know, Donna Summer, 439 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: you know, like all the music. That's the fact that 440 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: you were listening all those people that I don't think 441 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 1: a lot of people at your age would have done. Yeah, 442 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: that alone, I'm just like, okay, and you got Missy 443 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 1: Elliott on the album Iconic. How did you pull that off? 444 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: So so let me tell you. So Grammy, we can 445 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 1: you know passed and they have BMC. And of course 446 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: because Harvey did the music for Praises with Tank and 447 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: Harvey's had a Grammys and Harvey texted me and he 448 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 1: reached out to my publicists and they were like, oh, 449 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,199 Speaker 1: we want you to honor Missy for her tribute. I 450 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:01,919 Speaker 1: said really, and they're like yeah, but it's a secret. 451 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: She doesn't know. But when we asked for her whistlet 452 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: for her wish list, you were on that. So by 453 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: that I was already freaking out because I've always loved her. 454 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:16,120 Speaker 1: We shared the same birthday. She's a producer. She inspired 455 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: me to produce like she inspires me in so many ways. 456 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 1: So I was really nervous and excited. I was so busy. 457 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: But when I got home, I think at four in 458 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 1: the morning, I stayed up till nine to make sure 459 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 1: all the backgrounds that I recorded for the performance were 460 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,400 Speaker 1: absolutely perfect. So then right when I exported the stems off, 461 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: we went straight to soundcheck and I performed One in 462 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: a million and one minute man, and I saw her 463 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: out in the crowd looking beautiful in her brown Fendi suit, 464 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: and I was like, wow, there she is so right, 465 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:56,120 Speaker 1: so right when I got off stage and I went 466 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: up to her, I gave her the biggest hug for 467 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 1: like it felt like two seconds, but I know it 468 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,479 Speaker 1: was probably like thirty seconds to a minute because I 469 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: was just telling her all the way she inspired me. 470 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: So after that. A few days later, I was listening 471 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: to the final mixes and Masters, well not Masters yet, 472 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,679 Speaker 1: but I was like finalizing the mixes and I looked 473 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 1: to my gun mom she her man. I was like, 474 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: wouldn't it be cool if MISSI was on? Told you? 475 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 1: And she just gave me the eye like that's her umsoe, 476 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,879 Speaker 1: I'm a figure it out. And then it happened, and 477 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: Missy texted me. She told me she liked the song. 478 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: I have her number in my phone and she sent 479 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: She sent the verse back in three days. I got it. 480 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 1: Super Bowl morning, we were in the hotel room because 481 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,120 Speaker 1: we went for Super Bowl, and I heard the new Chloe. 482 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 1: I broke I brown on the floor. I broke down 483 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: crying on the floor for twenty minutes. I kid you not, 484 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: and I don't like touching hotel floors. But that's I was, yes, 485 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: gave my germaphone. For a minute, I was BOOLU crying 486 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 1: because yes, because it's Missy Elliott. But too.
