we didn't give it a lot of time to do this but I mean how important is it that we kind of run through the order do you think about the mood of the way music fits together in things you know I definitely do when I'm creating
we didn't give it a lot of time to do this but I mean how important is it that we kind of run through the order do you think about the mood of the way music fits together in things you know I definitely do when I'm creating
something this was more last minute but as I was going through it I realized that it does kind of have a reoccurring theme there is there's so much storytelling in each of these songs and they all just I sat back and I was like
that's so interesting because I have these pivotal songs that leave me in this trance and inspire me to then listen to others other type of musics but other type of music but it's very it's about lyric strong lyrics a lot of love and pain and then there's just some party songs that just make me feel like I'm a kid again to people who I'm very fond of one is Harry and the other is mehdi from the 1975 and both of them
chose bread it's really good because I mean for me bread was the artist that I listened to through my parents and I recognized now how sweet and how beautiful these songs are beautifully performance the reason why I loved this
one too is because it's the idea of like this maybe tortured soul like going through each like never able to be you know tied down or constantly just going from place to place cuz I'm an artist so I live for a good brokenness like we've
all been through ours yeah for sure and there's something about these the voices that these male artists have you know from like the animals and the guitar man and who else Elton you know back in the day they all had this voice Bob Dylan it was just there's something about it you know Charles Bradley are you kidding me oh my god I couldn't believe that this this music was made in the you know in in the last 10 years to me it's so
instant vintage and timeless and yet he's they just captured it they an incredible I also love the lyric so victim of love because it's something that I don't know it makes you think of that's something everybody who's been
weather it and just the way that it's it's spoken of it's like very genuine and honest and pure and I love that a male is singing that it's just man it's just good how was retained for you I mean how you finding all of this not in
a deep level but just a sort of like getting through the day kind of level yeah I do find that routine and structure helps so yeah I'll kind of do what you do I'll go into a little bit of like two days watching a lot of stuff and then then I'll realize I definitely need to like do something so currently I'm actually building this little studio situation and I'm doing it with the people that have that have been in my
house so I'm creating a little station where I'm gonna be able to FaceTime with my engineer and and some of my producer friends and we're gonna try to make some music so I haven't started that process but that's what we're doing right now I was like I was gonna FaceTime some of my like writing friends and just like I don't know just see what we're all feeling during this time but in generally I do a lot of walks because
that's all I feel like I can do I do weights inside the house definitely embarrassingly watch the YouTube videos where I'm trying to do what the woman is telling me to do but she looks so glamorous doing it have you ever met
Stevie Nicks I haven't no is that a real one is that a bucket list one thing yeah it is I mean ideally like I would have like probably like at my wedding would love would love for like Stevie or someone in that world to sing at my
wedding Julia Michael's gotta get your friends in here when they're this talented someone we you know that was fun hanging out with you guys when we got a chance to kick it on the last album and it's just great that you know you can now just talk about Julia as an artist and what you love about her is an artist and who she is as a writer you know I was very excited I mean first off I was with her when said she would never be an artist and
see her and now do what she does is know not only does it show or set an example of how incredible she is on her own and how different her music is compared to when she works with artists so she has an amazing ability of being able to compliment other artists but also be very sure of what her music represents and Julie and I are very close and I think that this song body is one of my favorites because that's all you really
want you know I think that you call all parts of side of you you just want someone to love you completely bare may you know like emotionally and physically but but for no specific reason other than just like having someone reassure you you have to help me out you have to connect me with Cuddy so we can do this with Katya I'm trynna I want to do a playlist with Cuddy he actually has incredible taste when we were like as I
think that's one of my favorite you know parts of him it's like when we go when we hang out like he'll play all kinds of from bratatat to I mean I mean he's the one who really like has me listening to de Bratz Missy Elliott all of these like Eve all of these like female rappers like he started to kind of show me a little bit even though I already knew growing up I can have this idea and this noise that I could hear from my dad and
all that stuff not noise but the music I grew up with my dad and but to have it have an appreciation now and see how females back then it was definitely a lot harder and they also I mean their clap their royalty you know straight out
of Beca Rihanna love on the brain following off him in my a so Rihanna we can't say anything about the album because she's already come out and said if one more person mentions the album she's gonna go back so we're talking
about the album all I'm gonna say is from the gecko I have been a - SOS - now so there isn't any real moment that like it isn't gold but love on the brain and when she performed that live I think that's one of the greatest songs of our time I just think that the way she sings that song it just takes me to another place she you're number one is she a favorite Oh I mean yeah yes I have a whole book in there dedicated to Rihanna in my
living room what what is that Larry on a picture book right right it's not a good idea to have her around when you want guys there but oh well we're gonna talk about everything I wanted which is my favorite Billy in Phineas song and the last proper song outside of the bond thing that they released first I'll say just the understanding she has even her songs Annie like she did like she already knows she's so aware of what
this this industry can be and become and when I heard that song I just sobbed because I've been doing this for so long and it's like damn that's so true there are so many moments where I was just like oh it doesn't matter who you are there's moments in your life where you're like is this all I is this this is this it you know stay well stay healthy it's great to see we'll catch up when the time is right and be well yes yes you to be safe you
