1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: This is gam Nation, We Jonesynd.

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 2: Last time we spoke to our next guest, he was

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 2: running around town trying not to get fired by Lord

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 2: Alan Sugar. But he's got a fabulous new album. It's

5
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 2: his eighth studio album. Have you listened to the new

6
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 2: single by Anthony Calear called Heaven Love It?

7
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 3: Anthony's looking at us right now, and this is easy

8
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 3: to do. Good listening face, because sometimes you've got a

9
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 3: song and you're listening to it and it's not vibing

10
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 3: on you and the artist are sitting there looking at you.

11
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 3: But see that's a face of pure enjoyment.

12
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: I love that song.

13
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: Hello, oh, good morning, thank you.

14
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 4: It's always hard listening to your own music because that's

15
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 4: the awkward look in your face.

16
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: How did you select this song? How did you have

17
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: the whole process come about for this album?

18
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: I wrote this song.

19
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 4: So yeah, there's eleven new tracks on this album, and

20
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 4: I've co written each and every one of them. I've

21
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 4: co produced them, I've vocal produced my vocals. It's my

22
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 4: eight studio album. It's the first one in eighteen years

23
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 4: that I have done totally on my own without.

24
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: A record label.

25
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 4: So this is all me It's been a very full

26
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 4: on process the last year or soapulling this together, and

27
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,559
Speaker 4: I wanted to do this on my terms. I'm turning

28
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 4: forty this year, and I wanted this music to reflect

29
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 4: where I am as a person, and you know what

30
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,839
Speaker 4: life and love is complicated, and I wanted to share

31
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 4: that through music, and you know, this album definitely reflects

32
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 4: that and a lot more.

33
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 2: Do you feel nervous when this comes out? Is it

34
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: like releasing your baby Everyone can now see your vulnerable side.

35
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 2: How does it feel when new music's coming out?

36
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,279
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. I think for the first time ever.

37
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 4: I've been the most excited about releasing music because this

38
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 4: is totally me and I'm owning it to the nth.

39
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: Degree, and I could not be more proud of these tracks.

40
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 4: It's, you know, music that I've written recently, but then

41
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 4: there's music that I've been sitting on since I was

42
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 4: like twenty three, twenty four, and you know, obviously throughout

43
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 4: the past eighteen years there's been ups and downs.

44
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: But I wanted this album now.

45
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 4: To reflect me as a forty year old, and so

46
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 4: I wanted it to be my music.

47
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: And I've also, you know, for the first time ever in.

48
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 4: Eighteen years, I've re recorded the prayer, but I've done

49
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 4: an acoustic, reimagined version of that, and so that finishes

50
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 4: off the album for tracked On And yeah, it's something

51
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,119
Speaker 4: that I wasn't planning on doing, but then I went,

52
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 4: you know what, I've never rerecorded this before, and I

53
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 4: want to interpret it now as a forty year old,

54
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 4: not as a twenty one year old.

55
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 3: Sure, and it must be hard when you when you

56
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 3: do an album yourself and you're funding everything because you've

57
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 3: got to do everything. You got to fund the film clip,

58
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,519
Speaker 3: you've got to fund the catering. You know, you'd be

59
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 3: looking at those dances. Hey, you guys, no, no eating,

60
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:54,679
Speaker 3: You're not eating anything.

61
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: You know what?

62
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 4: This album for me, I sort of started with a

63
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 4: bit of a spreadsheet and then I sort of just

64
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 4: ripped it up and threw it out the window.

65
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: It's not about making money this album.

66
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 4: I've you know, definitely spent a bit, but I'm really

67
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 4: fortunate to be in a position to be able to

68
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 4: release the music and do the music and do it

69
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 4: the way that I want to. And yeah, for me,

70
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 4: this is definitely not about money. This is about sharing

71
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 4: my music and celebrating turning.

72
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 2: Forty and you know it's amazing. Eighth studio album, The

73
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 2: Sliding Doors. When you first auditioned for Idle, did you

74
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,119
Speaker 2: have a picture that this was in your destiny? If

75
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 2: you hadn't auditioned, would you have had this ride somehow?

76
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: Who knows?

77
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 4: That's the thing I was. You know, I'm forever grateful

78
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 4: for that platform. That was eighteen years ago, and I've

79
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 4: been really lucky to be able to do what I

80
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 4: do every day and wake up and eighteen years later,

81
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 4: still call myself a singer and still be able to

82
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 4: tour constantly, Like, yeah, I've been very fortunate.

83
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: But with that comes a lot of hard work. And

84
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: you know, my dad.

85
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 4: Me very early on then if you want something, you know,

86
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 4: make sure that you work for it and don't expect

87
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 4: anything handed to you on a silver platter. So that's

88
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 4: what I do every day. And I'm a hustler.

89
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: If you gotta hustle, you gotta hustle, gotta hustle, gotta hustle,

90
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: and don't take no for an answer too quickly.

91
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, are we going to see a tour with these

92
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 2: songs next year?

93
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: I am planning on.

94
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 4: Quite a few shows around the country, but I am

95
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 4: kicking it off this weekend with a launch concert in

96
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 4: Melbourne and then yeah, I will definitely be out some

97
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 4: more dates next year.

98
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 3: This is so great. It's always great to talk to you,

99
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 3: and it's unfortunate that Celebrity Apprentice is not coming back,

100
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 3: because I've imagined it's not coming back. No, it's gone.

101
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 3: It's resting well. I was hoping to get you and

102
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 3: me on there because I want to. I want to

103
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 3: be the next Will and Woody. I thought that that

104
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 3: would be would be.

105
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: Destinately from someone that's gone through it. I don't think

106
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: the two of you need to go. It's all good

107
00:04:58,880 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: hard work.

108
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 3: All it's too much hard work. I'd rather put out

109
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 3: an album. Anthony Claire's brand new single Heaven is available

110
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 3: now and we're looking forward to the new album coming out.

111
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 3: When is the actual album coming out? It's out now,

112
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 3: isn't it is this Friday? Friday? The album is dropping

113
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 3: this Friday. Go and do yourself a favor. As Molly

114
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 3: would say, Anthony, it's so great to talk to you.

115
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: You too know, thanks for thanks for the chat and

116
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: take care you

117
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 2: Take care too,
