<v Speaker 3>It feels so good.

0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:56.320
<v Speaker 5>I'm just I've been sitting on it for so long,

0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:58.560
<v Speaker 5>and there was we made the project so quickly and

0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:02.319
<v Speaker 5>then we were just like, wait, we can't yet. So

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:04.840
<v Speaker 5>just that it's finally going to be out and it's

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:06.679

<v Speaker 5>going to be great.

0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:08.840
<v Speaker 2>How did you know it was done?

0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:12.720
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it really just came out like throw up.

0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:14.280
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. That's the horrible analogy.

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.480
<v Speaker 5>We made what was the act, all the songs of

0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:22.360
<v Speaker 5>the actual album in two months, and we like just

0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 5>were fine tuning it for a while, and then my

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:27.280
<v Speaker 5>producer took it for a while and like freaked it

0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:29.959
<v Speaker 5>and made it all crazy, and then we and then

0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:32.080
<v Speaker 5>you know, went into the hands of label, and label

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:34.720
<v Speaker 5>was like pushing it, pushing it, pushing it back, so you.

0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Know, And so how was it? How long was it? Sorry,

0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:40.759
<v Speaker 2>from the first song the inception to the release date.

0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:46.200
<v Speaker 5>It was last September. So it was last like middle

0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 5>of September.

0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 1>I feel like that's quick.

0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:53.960
<v Speaker 2>People are sitting on tracks for years, decades.

0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:57.520
<v Speaker 3>Wait, it wasn't last September. It was it was the

0:01:57.560 --> 0:01:58.520
<v Speaker 3>September before.

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Okay, there we go. That sounds yay yay yea yah.

0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah. I'm like, I'm like, wait, that wasn't that

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:05.320
<v Speaker 3>long ago. No, it was this September before that.

0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 2>But about the album, you've described it as an emotional, sexual,

0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:14.800
<v Speaker 2>and spiritual journey, those very visceral words. What else can

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:17.000
<v Speaker 2>you tell us, did Kaylan you discover like that or

0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:20.640
<v Speaker 2>did we we did it. Did I not say that?

0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:22.399
<v Speaker 1>I thought you said, Kaylin.

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:24.959
<v Speaker 2>Let me let me be your pr manager. You said this,

0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:30.000
<v Speaker 2>but tell us more about it. What are your favorite tracks?

0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:33.359
<v Speaker 2>What's exciting you? What can you not wait for us

<v Speaker 2>to hear?

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.520
<v Speaker 5>I mean, what I'm excited about is that it's my

0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:43.239
<v Speaker 5>first album since coming out, And that's really cool because

0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:48.120
<v Speaker 5>this is like the first like fully self actualized, like

0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:53.480
<v Speaker 5>love song filled album that I have put out. And

0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.720
<v Speaker 5>I think that it speaks volumes when you're listening to it,

0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:59.520
<v Speaker 5>because the love songs are really healthy and beautiful and

0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:03.200
<v Speaker 5>really you know, vast and my some of my favorite

0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 5>songs are like melt everything tangerine, just like the really

0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:13.359
<v Speaker 5>gorgeous ones. And yeah, I'm just excited that people get

0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:15.000
<v Speaker 5>to hear the baby I've been sitting on for a

0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 5>long time.

0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 2>So I love these descriptors. I know you've got you

0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:24.639
<v Speaker 2>vomited out the album. It's the baby you've been sitting on. Okay,

0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:25.799
<v Speaker 2>I thought.

0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:26.760
<v Speaker 3>About that after I said it.

0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:33.680
<v Speaker 2>I was like, put that in print. Let's play a game.

0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:35.240
<v Speaker 2>I feel like we've got time for that. What do

0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:35.680
<v Speaker 2>you reckon?

0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:37.320
<v Speaker 3>Let's do it.

0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:41.400
<v Speaker 4>I love games, something something that we do on flex

0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:44.600
<v Speaker 4>and firms is called the six the Cheeky six. The

0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 4>cheeky six were we're gonna ask you six questions. It's

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.880
<v Speaker 4>quite rapid fire, and you just tell us what is

0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:51.120
<v Speaker 4>on the top of your mind.

0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.920
<v Speaker 2>Don't think too hard to be honest. It's fresh, fun, fit,

0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:56.240
<v Speaker 2>fab and flooty.

0:03:57.040 --> 0:04:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay, right off the bat. What did you have for breakfast?

0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:02.920
<v Speaker 3>A panini?

0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 2>Okay?

0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:04.760
<v Speaker 1>True?

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 2>Anything inside.

0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:12.560
<v Speaker 5>A turkey panini and an iced coffee, that's okay.

0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's a combination. And have that for lunch, all right.

0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:18.640
<v Speaker 2>Second, the most important one to me, I'll let you

0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:20.600
<v Speaker 2>do that. On do you believe in aliens?

0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:24.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? I believe in aliens. I just don't think they

0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:25.599
<v Speaker 3>look like what we think they look like.

0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Period. Are you thinking?

0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:34.120
<v Speaker 5>I think like, oh, those and those those fish that

0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:35.640
<v Speaker 5>be all the way at the bottom of the ocean

0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:39.000
<v Speaker 5>are aliens, like the freaky ones that like change colors

0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:39.919
<v Speaker 5>like cuddlefish.

0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:42.600
<v Speaker 2>And yes, the deep sea fisherman whatever he's pulling out

0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 2>of the trenches, one that low aliens.

0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:50.440
<v Speaker 4>Okay, so it came from space down to the bottom

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:51.279
<v Speaker 4>of the ocean.

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.200
<v Speaker 3>Why not throwing No space is the bottom of the ocean.

0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:58.520
<v Speaker 2>Let me not get into it. I'll get right up alien.

0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:02.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm an alien to so I'm trying to poke holes.

0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:07.560
<v Speaker 1>What animal it's because I am an alien.

0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:08.359
<v Speaker 2>That's what an alien.

0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:11.680
<v Speaker 5>Look.

0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Let's not jump into it for too long, but give

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:16.359
<v Speaker 2>me ten seconds to plead my case. I think that,

0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:19.800
<v Speaker 2>for all we know, humans are the real aliens, and

0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:24.320
<v Speaker 2>there's some conspiracy and some propaganda that's throwing us off

0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:26.760
<v Speaker 2>our own trail, and that's all I'm gonna say. I'm

0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:27.560
<v Speaker 2>gonna leave it at back.

0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:30.680
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I just don't think that they're green with big

0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:33.320
<v Speaker 5>heads and they're gooey and they come in flying sockles like,

0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:34.120
<v Speaker 5>I just don't believe that.

0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:36.120
<v Speaker 1>I want to believe that.

0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:40.159
<v Speaker 4>So what animal would you most identify with on the

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:42.720
<v Speaker 4>Earth earth side, on.

0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:43.880
<v Speaker 3>The whole Earth?

0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:45.800
<v Speaker 4>Uh?

0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:46.960
<v Speaker 3>Probably like a sloth?

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh true?

0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:53.280
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I think I'm like a really cozy person. I

0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:56.680
<v Speaker 5>don't move slow though. It is the funny part. I

0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:59.240
<v Speaker 5>think slass are really misunderstood. I think they can probably

0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:02.880
<v Speaker 5>do a lot of things. They're just really underestimated, And like,

0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:05.599
<v Speaker 5>I think they move slow when people are watching, But

0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:08.440
<v Speaker 5>I feel like slots probably get down when nobody's looking.

0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:12.359
<v Speaker 5>I also, at the same time, feel like I'm probably

0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:15.320
<v Speaker 5>mixed with some other type of animal, because I also,

0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:17.360
<v Speaker 5>at the same time move really fast, like I'm the

0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:20.160
<v Speaker 5>most impulsive person that I've ever met in my life ever,

0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:22.360
<v Speaker 5>Like all of my friends will tell you that. So

0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:25.600
<v Speaker 5>maybe mixed with something that's also extremely fast, like a

0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:27.680
<v Speaker 5>fox or something. I don't even know if a fucking

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:28.400
<v Speaker 5>fox is fast.

0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't even loft fox hybrid. This that makes sense. Vicious,

0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.480
<v Speaker 2>those nails, they mean business.

0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:38.600
<v Speaker 3>But like you see what I'm saying. You see how

0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.760
<v Speaker 3>we just judge them for their nails with their dumb buddies.

0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:45.800
<v Speaker 2>This is true. Okay, no more slufs propaganda. I'm so

0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:47.920
<v Speaker 2>sorry to the slough community. I took a tip fog.

0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:52.680
<v Speaker 2>All right, We've got three more questions. Would you rather

0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:55.560
<v Speaker 2>be the first or last to know about a zombie apocalypse?

0:06:57.760 --> 0:06:59.040
<v Speaker 3>Oh? My god, the last?

0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:04.480
<v Speaker 2>You know what? Keep it. Let's keep it going because

0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 2>there's only one correct answer and the last.

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:07.040
<v Speaker 5>Is it?

0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:07.680
<v Speaker 1>All right?

0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:09.240
<v Speaker 2>What is the pet pave of yours? I want to

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:09.880
<v Speaker 2>get to know you.

0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:16.760
<v Speaker 5>Oh, I really hate when people are mean to waiters.

0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:21.520
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, I like, deeply, deeply have a thing when

0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.960
<v Speaker 5>people are mean to anybody. Who is in some type

0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:27.040
<v Speaker 5>of service, because like, it's not like those people woke

0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:28.680
<v Speaker 5>up and was dying to be a waiter in the

0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.560

0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:03.000
<v Speaker 5>out and told him, like you need to learn how

0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:06.440
<v Speaker 5>to speaking English. And I was like, you know what,
