Speaker 1: A small show, A smallsy show.

Speaker 2: She's going to be coming on tour with the A
Speaker 2: Shanty Rock with You tour here in Australia in November.
Speaker 2: Destroy all lines dot com for your ticket details.
Speaker 3: A Shanty She's on zoo High.
Speaker 1: Nice to meet you.
Speaker 3: Look at you. You're a glamour a shanty.
Speaker 1: Well, thank you, Smilezie.
Speaker 3: Did you wake up looking like that?
Speaker 2: Or I mean, we're sort of the same age and
Speaker 2: I don't want to make us sound old, but it
Speaker 2: doesn't come as naturally for me as it used to.
Speaker 4: Smiley.
Speaker 1: I did not wake up like this stalling. I woke
Speaker 1: up with a bonnet on.
Speaker 3: Hey.
Speaker 2: Well, wonderful to see you. I'm sure you know Australia.
Speaker 2: We have loved you for literally years.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 5: And I absolutely love Australia. I have the best time
Speaker 5: every time I come to Australia.
Speaker 4: It is a huge party.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we're gonna talk about the tour in just
Speaker 2: a second. Let's officially roll the opener and get your own.
Speaker 5: She's the R and B icon who's produced house Party Anthem.
Speaker 1: When you look at me day, your mom, the one
Speaker 1: and only.
Speaker 5: Hey, hey this is a shan Sea doing a damn thing.
Speaker 2: Now you are coming back in November, and we're going
Speaker 2: to talk about that in just a second. But we
Speaker 2: got so much to catch up on because I didn't
Speaker 2: know you got married to Nelly and had a baby
Speaker 2: and started a YouTube series.
Speaker 3: Like you, you were so busy.
Speaker 1: It's a lot going on.
Speaker 5: It's a lot going on, you know, mom, wife, career,
Speaker 5: balancing all of that out. You know, it's it's a job,
Speaker 5: but it's a beautiful job, you know, very blessed.
Speaker 2: Say, let's flash back to like the early the early noughties, right,
Speaker 2: It's crazy to think that we are literally almost the
Speaker 2: same age, and I was watching you as a teen
Speaker 2: or whatever and going, oh, this is so cool, and
Speaker 2: you're literally like almost the same age living it. I
Speaker 2: can't even begin to imagine what that would have been like.
Speaker 2: Do you love it more now the older you get?
Speaker 2: Because I look back on those days and I go,
Speaker 2: I wish I was a bit more present in the
Speaker 2: moment because stuff happened so quickly, and you don't appreciate
Speaker 2: things sort of the way you do the older you get,
Speaker 2: and it gives you a bit of perspective.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would definitely say I appreciate things way more now,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, Like just coming in and
Speaker 5: you know, very very humbly gaining so much success.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like, you know, when.
Speaker 5: I first found out, like my numbers and all these
Speaker 5: things are happening my first.
Speaker 4: Album, I'm like, is this good?
Speaker 5: Like are these numbers good?
Speaker 4: I'm not sure what's happening here?
Speaker 5: And then to find out all of the things that
Speaker 5: we've done and accomplished was an amazing thing.
Speaker 4: So I kind of started to appreciate.
Speaker 6: It way more later, you know what I mean, Because
Speaker 6: when you look at how much it's changed, and how
Speaker 6: the technology has changed, and sonics have changed, and record
Speaker 6: labels have changed, and the consumption of music has changed, you.
Speaker 5: Know, it's very different, you know, So I absolutely appreciate it.
Speaker 6: A lot more now.
Speaker 2: I asked this to artists sometimes who have done both.
Speaker 2: I call it like pre the internet and streaming and
Speaker 2: post the Internet. Right, would you have loved to have
Speaker 2: done it the way the industry is now? Or are
Speaker 2: you grateful albeit there was like you know, look, let's
Speaker 2: be honest, the industry had some dark. The industry has
Speaker 2: had dark moments, right, Are you glad you did it then?
Speaker 2: Or would you have loved to have a crack breaking now?
Speaker 2: But then you kind of don't have. I'm sorry, I'm
Speaker 2: answering your question for you, but like you don't have
Speaker 2: an off switch now, they're always on social media.
Speaker 3: Everything is always.
Speaker 1: On, Everything is always on.
Speaker 4: You know, I appreciate exactly what I have, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean, Like coming up in a time where
Speaker 4: there was Instagram and there wasn't you know what was
Speaker 4: it Twitter?
Speaker 5: In my all of that after and so me being
Speaker 5: able to experience both and to compare both, I think
Speaker 5: it's a blessing, you know what I mean. There are
Speaker 5: a lot of things that I was doing years and
Speaker 5: years and years ago before Instagram.
Speaker 1: So I think it's just cool for me to be
Speaker 1: in the position.
Speaker 5: That I meant and kind of best of both worlds
Speaker 5: being able to compare me.
Speaker 2: I also, I also say this like to the kids
Speaker 2: of today, right, And I don't mean that like like facetiously,
Speaker 2: but to the kids, I'm like, for you to have
Speaker 2: been like a famous pop star artist in the early
Speaker 2: like late nineties, early noughties, it required a whole different
Speaker 2: level of your music having to connect. Right. So like
Speaker 2: now instantaneously you can put out a song and you
Speaker 2: could go straight to number one and everyone's interconnected. But
Speaker 2: like back in the day, like to sell shows out
Speaker 2: in Australia, you'd have to have your song being played.
Speaker 2: People would be having to physically go to the shops
Speaker 2: to buy the record. Fans would wake up at like
Speaker 2: seven eighty six am in the morning and line up
Speaker 2: at like a ticket master or whatever to buy tickets
Speaker 2: to get front row at the show. None of this
Speaker 2: is doing it at home. I actually think it was.
Speaker 2: It was harder to be famous twenty years ago than
Speaker 2: it is to be famous today.
Speaker 5: Well, absolutely absolutely, from touring to merge to like you said,
Speaker 5: standing online.
Speaker 1: And doing in stores and going to the radio stations.
Speaker 5: You had to physically travel to all the radio stations
Speaker 5: in that city.
Speaker 1: If you were performing like it was a lot to do.
Speaker 1: It's a lot harder.
Speaker 2: Well, you are coming back to Australia. Tell me you're
Speaker 2: going to be playing shows in November. How excited are you?
Speaker 1: I am so excited. As I said, I love Australia.
Speaker 5: You know, the love is insane just being you know,
Speaker 5: an American artist. Being from the US traveling outside, it
Speaker 5: always feels like you get so much more love because
Speaker 5: not everyone travels so much.
Speaker 1: So you do get there, it's like the love was like, ah,
Speaker 1: you know, it's crazy, So I love it.
Speaker 3: I mean, you've been here before.
Speaker 2: Is there anything you remember or you're looking forward to
Speaker 2: doing in Australia.
Speaker 5: I love the seafood, I absolutely love. I think my
Speaker 5: favorite restaurant was in Sydney. It's like on a pier
Speaker 5: or something. It's like two two of my favorite restaurant.
Speaker 5: I love gold Calls, I love Bandai Beach. The Opera
Speaker 5: House is amazing.
Speaker 4: And it was always great weather.
Speaker 1: You know, every time I come to Australia the weather
Speaker 1: is awesome.
Speaker 3: So yeah. And also we're lovely people. You forgot that part.
Speaker 4: Your lovely people, Darling, You're lovely people.
Speaker 3: I love that. Hey.
Speaker 2: I say we started this by saying you have the
Speaker 2: YouTube thing with you and Nelly, Right, it's actually.
Speaker 1: Not a YouTube thing. We have a show on Peacock NBC.
Speaker 1: Oh you can catch some of it on YouTube.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: The show is on NBC Peacock.
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, So we don't have Peacock here in Australia.
Speaker 2: So they we're still we're still a long way from everywhere,
Speaker 2: don't you are. Nothing's changed here in Australia. We still
Speaker 2: don't have everything. Okay, okay. Is it like for people
Speaker 2: who haven't seen Is it like documentary? Is it like
Speaker 2: flying on the wall? What does it cover off?
Speaker 1: It covers off a little bit of everything.
Speaker 5: You know. It's called We Belong to Together, and it's
Speaker 5: basically us just sharing our lives with our fans, you
Speaker 5: know what I mean, just as a married couple and
Speaker 5: two stars, raising a two year old toddler and balancing
Speaker 5: love and career and all the stuff in between, you
Speaker 5: know what I mean.
