miss them so much I miss hugging my mom I miss um you know spending time with my sister and I cannot but it's okay because they are safe and I can call them every day I'm FaceTiming them every day so thank God thank God we are all safe I just
0:31
miss being able to give my like you said my mom a hug or give my man a pound or I just can't do any of that I think that when you cannot do something is also is when you want to do it right for example now that we cannot leave the house is
0:44
when maybe you feel like you want to do it the most which is crazy but as a musician I feel like we spend a lot of time isolated you know start studying music or um producing or recording we do it a lot but at the same time I miss being on
0:59
stage I miss being in the street talking to my friends I just I miss simple things too yeah I feel you you seem kind of like a uh you know and I mean this is a compliment like a private person like somebody who's comfortable in your own
1:10
company who's able to focus on yourself and not have to be distracted by other people to feel valid right and so in a way is this kind of business as usual for you yes and so but at the same time I think that I it's very important for me to spend
1:27
to be um with a lot of people to round up a lot of people doing like the craziest plans it's not I need the simple things like being always surrounded by the people that I really really love that's that's something that is so basic for me
1:41
so I feel like if I don't have that I feel like I'm less grounded the same time that if I'm not making music I don't feel grounded so there are basic things in my life that if I don't have it you're streaming you are a playlist
1:55
maker Rosalia you've gone so deep on this it is crazy man I spend like I don't know at least one day and a half doing the playlist like I spent hours and hours making these things I spend days making these things yeah that's
2:08
what I'm saying exactly exactly so I do my research I listen a lot of Records I select I do a pre a pre playlist then I do a kind of uh the playlist and then I do the playlist you know what I mean well Celia you're um I mean listen if
2:24
we're trying to create a perfect Cadence for a playlist right here you come in with Frank Ocean on the third song is like mind-blowing because most people because they build up to Frank because Frank is such a thing but you have such
2:36
an amazing selection throughout you're like no I'm hitting you with Frank at number three brand new Frank as well these two acoustic performances from him this is where he gets me I think he's he's so special what he does uh songs as minimal
2:51
and um and emotional as that and I love that it's so um there's so much space for the emotion and I feel like also the way the way the pocket that he has is crazy like I think that um yeah that is my favorite musician
3:10
are you feeling creative are you finding a way to write and create during this time alone definitely I feel like even there's a lot of energy and things like I feel like there's so many things going on it's hard to focus but at the same
3:23
time I feel blessed that I'm at home that I'm safe and I can make music and I have all this time that that you're saying I feel like um I have this little Studio this little setup that I did here in one room I have the basics like just
3:37
the you know the midi and um keyboard the computer just the Target or the mic and I do my Basics I try to do all the vocal production for the next record I'm working a lot on the next record um and I'm trying to finish doing these
3:55
two last weeks I've been trying to finish the Billy eilish collab yes the arrangements I think that yesterday I finished the arrangements I feel like the production the sound design is almost done so I just need that really maybe sense the vocals and
4:11
they send me the ideas like they want to like add because we are there [Music] laughs I hope that Billy sent me her her thing you've also been having fun kind of moving around and and collaborating with all kinds of different artists I mean
4:30
the world stopped for a couple of frames when you and Travis Scott showed up on highest in the room that was a a major major moment because Travis to me is is one of the world's greatest creatives full stop just aesthetically
4:41
artistically musically production wise incredible you know um I was supposed to release a song with him and last month I was supposed to release a song that I think is for the club super aggressive that I've been working on for a really
5:06
long time and I was like I was like this song is so aggressive and it's so it has like I don't know an energy that I think that is so specific for a certain moment that I didn't feel like it was right to release and I didn't felt like it was connected
5:24
with what was going on in the world in that moment I was really worried about okay what's my next um what am I gonna do because I'm in Miami but my family is in Spain I don't know what's going to happen in the world
5:36
what's going on I don't understand I was like getting almost gone and Gusty I was like worried I was like a little bit sad and I was like um not feeling it and I decided to stop everything stop everything I tell everybody no we I
5:52
need to to release something different I need to release something something else another song this is not the song that sounds that yeah not the time and I'm not the feeling not the you know what I mean so I decided to work on a song that I was
6:08
working on months months months ago that I started with friend Dukes from a friend you example and I just I was just two weeks quarantined two weeks working in at home back and forth in distance with friend dukes and I finished dolerme
6:24
and I decided to release but I want to release the Travis song because you know we worked uh on this song that it feels kind of um and it's finished it's finished and there's a video oh my God the restraint listen I respect it I respect it you
6:44
know it doesn't surprise me or anybody who's listening or watching right now that you are self-aware enough of the situation to be able to move in a thoughtful way because a lot of people I think was were caught scrambling and not
6:57
quite sure how to react and so you trusted your instincts and I respect that I respect it but a lot has happened between then and now and now people are starting to feel a little more aggressive about the situation it might be time
7:11
okay you know I feel like dolerme it made much more sense it made it made much more sense I really felt like you know as a as a person who listens music so much what I wanna hear now I don't want to hear the song that I did uh a few
7:30
months ago in this moment particularly in this moment but I know that I will want to hear it you seem really actually really balanced and happy from what I can tell on this technologically communicative environment and uh we
7:42
really appreciate you picking the music and spending some time with us today thank you so much of course thank you thank you for listening the songs thank you for letting me share uh this playlist I really enjoy I enjoyed so
7:54
much and I want to learn how to do a DJ DJ I wanna I wanna learn that because I think that that's the next level once I started with the playlist now I think that I have to do it oh you've been amazing DJ you've got to get into there by the way practicing
