um but also just to say thank you for being a part of this playlist that we've created which is called 23 for 23 and it's 23 artists that we truly believe are going to change the face of music and new genes is on that list of course
0:36
you are so thank you and congratulations thank you so much thank you for inviting me thank you thank you and thank you thank you for making such great and exciting music and and being so dedicated to Art um I I can't even imagine how the last
0:52
12 months have felt but I wanna I wanna just say that I know that you know you put work into this and what we see is the song comes out and another one and then we get OMG and ditto and it's like oh where did new jeans come from but
1:07
you've been working and you've been really putting a lot into this so how does it feel Danielle starting with you how does it feel to know that people are listening to your music and they're responding to it so warmly well like
1:21
firstly I feel it's such an honor that so many people uh are supporting us and loving our music because I mean it's very it's very like our music is is just part of us and for people to be able to like you know um enjoy it as much as we enjoy it is so
1:43
incredible and like we've received such incredible love and support from fans after debut so every part of it has been so special to us and yeah one of the things I love so much about OMG is that it feels like a modern almost like an r b record and I know
2:03
that your influences are really sort of very vast and you love music what did it remind you of when you started making OMG how did it make you feel and did it remind you of music that you grew up listening to and loving well OMG is an
2:19
album that represents our first Winter's new jeans and I believe the song ditto does a really good job at capturing that winter feeling the song begins with like a harmonious like harmonious vocals and like it reminiscence of like the wintry theme kind of thing and you can feel that warmth and comfort when you listen to it so yeah you know it's there's a lot of fun in in what you're doing and people keep talking about it being fun and I think
2:52
we're seeing High there's great examples of high fashion playing a role in in music great examples of drama playing a role in music but what I think is so refreshing about new genes right now is that there's a looseness like when you
3:07
dance and when you move Everything Everything feels like this it's very natural and really loose you know I know you can move very very um in a very tight way but it's like in that video it's almost like you're having fun moving around each other and
3:24
keeping it really light is is that kind of a part of what you think sets new jeans apart that you want it to feel just free I think you would be one of the reasons why people were kind of like can um resonate with our music and our
3:38
content because we don't we also when we for example like record a new song or when we practice a new dance or preparing for like a music video shoot or a performance we don't really um try to like change ourselves in any way like
3:54
try to fit the song we try to make the song fit us so like it's very much um like very comfortable to us as well we're just enjoying ourselves so it comes out all naturally and I think people just um like from like a watching point of view
4:11
um find that more comfortable to enjoy and um watch it so I think that's why people enjoy our music and think it's like a very fresh so yeah I want to talk a bit about uh the album which is you know about OMG and what it was like that I mean that's
4:25
a dream I think when people get a chance to finally make a complete thought a group of songs I know that you're involved in the writing process as well and and that you know you like you you're very curious and invested in that
4:37
can you just talk a little bit about how fun it was to make OMG the album me too I guess recording as well recording in the booth we had like pick a tours on their money at dongata we tried different styles and really pushed
5:06
ourselves trying to you know find a new color as well and um I hope yeah and through through that we it was there was a lot of fun moments I think that's the most important thing is that you're making memories um we get the music and you get the
5:24
experiences you get the memories um can you even explain to your family and to your friends what this experience has been like do words do it justice or is it just too hard to for them to understand what it is that you're experiencing right now
5:41
um foreign artists are some of your favorite musicians and you talked about films and just some of the things that you love to play um just in your private and your personal time um can each of you just tell me some of
6:21
your favorite artists that you love I'm a very big fan of r b and very chill songs so recently um a song that I've really been enjoying listening to is airplane airplane Thoughts by I don't know how do you say his artist's name but t-h-r-u-v that the
6:39
he blew up a lot um last year but I actually got recommended that song by one of our fans our bunnies on an app we call phoning how we communicate with our fans and um I put it I have like a separate playlist for all the songs that our fans
6:54
recommend I mean I just want to listen to random music so I put it in there and then it came out randomly one day and I just got really like stuck into the song because it's just very um very sweet lyrics and a very nice calming Melody
7:08
and yeah I listened to it quite a lot the members would probably know I love and I also I absolutely love that you're getting recommendations and making playlists of music from your fans and I think that you know that's one of
7:21
those things that that is one of the best parts of music now and the way that we communicate with each other is that we can listen to each other and it's not just oh I like new jeans so if you like new jeans we'll be friends it's like oh
7:33
but I can tell new jeans to listen to this this is awesome and you can actually do that and I think it's really amazing I think it's great um you must be having a lot of fun communicating with your fans in that way um is it one of the most important parts
7:45
of it to to have access to their opinions and to their ideas and their feedback is that one of the most important things about about being in the band absolutely I feel it's a key part of what we're doing and being able
7:58
to communicate with bunnies and fans across across worldwide that's just you know because like from the beginning we always wanted us to feel as close and connected like just like best friends with our fans and through like phoning and other sources
8:19
being able to directly communicate with them and being able to you know share playlists and recommend songs stuff like that it really gets us close side and like have that strong bond with our fans and bunnies so yeah foreign
9:14
okay so what else is new jeans listening to who are some of the other artists that you absolutely love oh oh oh the song name is gone and the artist is Georgia Smith oh wow oh my gosh George is amazing she's such a Timeless performer and writer
9:37
um yeah really classic feel and she can she can do something that feels really up-tempo and modern and electronic and then I feel she could almost do like a Jazz Ensemble or something really old old sounding she's incredible you can is [Music] foreign
