Speaker 1: So excited. I've can't seen the studio today has a.
Speaker 2: Brand new album out tomorrow. She's a butterfid Ozsie Icon,
Speaker 2: she's got a LOGI, she's got arias, she's here on
Speaker 2: the pick up.
Speaker 1: It's shut hello.
Speaker 3: I just got feels deep inside listening to that song,
Speaker 3: like say hi and mess her up. Absolute anthems for me,
Speaker 3: like are they probably the song that people talk about
Speaker 3: the most you out of all the albums that you've done.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of people, a lot of chicks really
Speaker 1: love me.
Speaker 4: I'm like at shows when you start that song, it's
Speaker 4: like it's I feel like Harry Styles.
Speaker 1: The squeals are like out of control.
Speaker 4: It's actually really overwhelming right now because I've got a
Speaker 4: tour coming up, and I think about this new album,
Speaker 4: which is I mean obviously fire and then I've got
Speaker 4: other Obviously.
Speaker 1: We can say that you want to, I mean no,
Speaker 1: it's fine, the album is fine. What was the inspiram
Speaker 1: behind this album?
Speaker 4: Well, albums for me, like, I'm always kind of and
Speaker 4: I know this sounds really dicky, but I don't mean
Speaker 4: it to sound this way, but I'm usually a bit
Speaker 4: ahead because like they take so long to make, so
Speaker 4: when I was making Cry Forever, it got signed off,
Speaker 4: and then there's months and months and months, like and
Speaker 4: if I stop writing, then what am I doing? So
Speaker 4: I keep writing and then by the time an album
Speaker 4: comes around, it's like I've got all these songs to
Speaker 4: choose from, like which is the strongest demo, and then
Speaker 4: I'll take them into the studio and see what happens.
Speaker 4: So with this one, though, I spend a lot of
Speaker 4: time seeing the whole album is like a body of work.
Speaker 4: Like the last especially the first album, I was just
Speaker 4: throwing shit at the wall, going I don't know what
Speaker 4: I'm doing, I don't know who I am. I like,
Speaker 4: here's a bunch of songs and let's hope for the best.
Speaker 4: Whereas by album three, I kind of I kind of
Speaker 4: sort of know what I'm doing. I would like to
Speaker 4: think and yeah, I could sort of look at all
Speaker 4: the songs and be like, Okay, this makes sense and
Speaker 4: this makes for a really awesome body.
Speaker 1: Of work start to finish.
Speaker 3: So historically speaking, are you particularly sad on a Sunday?
Speaker 1: Like like where so we're all thinking where did I mean,
Speaker 1: aren't you?
Speaker 4: I mean, I just like I yeah, it firstly, thinking
Speaker 4: of titles for albums suck. You ask any artist, it sucks.
Speaker 4: You're like everything cool is taken. You want something strong
Speaker 4: and memorable. And Sundays did turn into a day where
Speaker 4: I was like, instead of sitting with my feelings and
Speaker 4: memories of the past, I'm just gonna work on this
Speaker 4: album and finish a bunch of songs. And so it
Speaker 4: just turned out to be a bit of a ritual.
Speaker 4: And another thing that made Sundays better for me was
Speaker 4: just pasta and wine.
Speaker 1: So that's why the cover is the cover.
Speaker 2: Wow Amy's Italian roots.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, I wish when you're writing music there
Speaker 5: you say you look at it like a body of work.
Speaker 5: But are you writing songs that are purely from your
Speaker 5: own experience or do you go Okay, I'm you know, happy,
Speaker 5: I'm in a great place in life right now, but
Speaker 5: I know that someone's going to really relate to a
Speaker 5: breakup song, or I've been broken up with before, so
Speaker 5: you pull on like a past memory or a past circumstance.
Speaker 1: I like never plan what I write.
Speaker 4: I just always sit with and try and think of
Speaker 4: some cool guitar riff or whatever, and then usually I've
Speaker 4: had such a colorful life, like, there's so many things
Speaker 4: to choose from.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I usually just let my subconscious go nuts.
Speaker 4: And family hasn't always been the greatest, and friends have
Speaker 4: fallen apart, and I feel like i've kind of that's
Speaker 4: that's my skill set is like I'm you know, I'm
Speaker 4: not I'm not so young. So it's always exciting for
Speaker 4: me to just start a song from scratch and be like,
Speaker 4: what's still obviously bothering me? Half the time I still
Speaker 4: learn what's still like it's affecting me? Yeah, it really
Speaker 4: is so so yeah, there's no method to it. Everything's
Speaker 4: obviously very autobiographical. It's always about me. I can't read
Speaker 4: a book. I've seen artists like be like I've read
Speaker 4: this book and I character really connected.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just don't work like that.
Speaker 3: You have now officially completed the Blink trifecta, like you
Speaker 3: have collaborated with all three members of Blink one eight two.
Speaker 6: Did you grow up with an inspiration from Blink one
Speaker 6: A two?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 6: What is where did that come from? Of trying to
Speaker 6: bring them all into each album?
Speaker 4: I mean, they're my all time favorite band, and I
Speaker 4: think because they were like you know when you graduate
Speaker 4: from like Spice Girls and Hansen and you're like, oh wow,
Speaker 4: there's this cool other side to music in this alternative
Speaker 4: world that you learn about and Blink was that for me?
Speaker 4: And they weren't just a one off like they had
Speaker 4: song after song and hit after hit and Tom you know,
Speaker 4: Tom's voice wasn't perfect, you know, it was really weird
Speaker 4: and it was it stood out and he was unapologetically himself.
Speaker 4: So I learned a lot from that band to just
Speaker 4: like just go for it, just like believe in yourself
Speaker 4: and tell stories and that if it's okay if you
Speaker 4: don't sound like Mariah Carey or Beyonce.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that means it means.
Speaker 4: A wi Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well that's on the album track ten My Only Friend.
Speaker 2: So if you want to give that a listen, alb
Speaker 2: about tomorrow, Amy Shark is he out.
Speaker 1: Let's go to a break.

Speaker 2: are real, a.
Speaker 6: Very very extensive team.
Speaker 1: We do have one producer.
Speaker 6: So first one off the.
Speaker 3: Bat, Amy Shark bears all the real reason behind her
Speaker 3: marine based surname, and you'll never believe the incident that
Speaker 3: inspired it.
Speaker 1: It sounds like it could be real.
Speaker 4: What is it?
Speaker 1: It's real? Yeah, what's the incident behind Shark? I don't know,
Speaker 1: but people do write whatever the hell they want.
Speaker 6: So is your surname really Shark or not?
Speaker 1: Not? No, it's not.
Speaker 6: I'm just trying to get her to explain it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, it's no.
Speaker 4: I just watched Jaws, really really when I was really young,
Speaker 4: and it really affected me.
Speaker 1: But it's unusual to be.
Speaker 6: So traumatized by something you're like, how will I get
Speaker 6: over this? I'll put it in my name.
Speaker 1: That movie The Scrims, Yeah, I mean the best thing
Speaker 1: about it.
Speaker 4: I don't want to go on about this movie, but
Speaker 4: it's so brilliant because you don't really see the shark until, like,
Speaker 4: I don't know, like probably forty minutes into the movie. Like,
Speaker 4: it's so crazy how they build this tension, Yeah, and suspense.
Speaker 1: Do you think about sharks every time you go swimming?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 6: You like you get in the water and you're like.
Speaker 4: Even I think of shark even in the pool, like
Speaker 4: at night that I'm like, did someone in the bath?
Speaker 6: That's one here, that's a music headline.

Speaker 5: no longer wearing her wedding ring after keeping marriage to
Speaker 5: husband Shane Billings very private.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's over, guys, No imagine imagine. Yeah, right here,
Speaker 1: that's what you'll use. That's the headline. It's going to
Speaker 1: come now to.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's true. That's true. It actually just got
Speaker 1: stolen from a hotel so safe.
Speaker 3: Well no, so I was.
Speaker 4: I remember where I was at, and I'm trying not
Speaker 4: to out this hotel because you know, they've been good
Speaker 4: to me since.
Speaker 1: Every big show that I was playing.
Speaker 4: And I remember I remember it because I remember having
Speaker 4: a shower, and I put it in the little dish
Speaker 4: thing because I can't wear it when I play guitar
Speaker 4: because it like it was decent rock, so it's spun
Speaker 4: around a bit. So I put it in this dish thing.
Speaker 4: And then I was leaving to go overseas the next
Speaker 4: day and it was nowhere. But I got my my
Speaker 4: necklace was still there, so I was kind of like,
Speaker 4: maybe maybe Shane picked it up.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe I just I'll look for it in a second.
Speaker 1: But it was, yeah, it was gone. I mean, look
Speaker 1: it was.
Speaker 4: It was Shane's idea. When I first got signed. He's like,
Speaker 4: you know, you should take your wedding ring off. You
Speaker 4: know it'll help.
Speaker 1: So he's okay, he knows, he's it's okay, all right.
Speaker 2: Last headline, Amy Shark real off fake Amy Shark on
Speaker 2: the best investment she's ever made, and all it took
Speaker 2: was one night in Vegas and a briefcase of cash.

Speaker 2: old fashioned music. Amy's brand new album, Sunday Sadness, officially
