00:00 We both think like budget.
00:02 (laughing)
00:04 We both think budget like numbers.
00:06 Wait, how much was the house?
00:07 Who'd you have in there?
00:09 Did y'all have instruments?
00:10 What equipment did you use?
00:11 - Literally.
00:12 - What mic?
00:13 You have a screen?
00:13 - Literally.
00:14 - Yay!
00:15 Y'all have a chef too?
00:16 Oh, damn!
00:17 - Oh, damn!
00:18 (laughing)
00:18 (upbeat music)
00:21 - Yes!
00:27 - Instagram!
00:28 (laughing)
00:29 - It's really Instagram.
00:30 We started chatting over Instagram.
00:32 - I think the first time we connected was through car.
00:37 - Yes!
00:38 - Yes.
00:39 - That's right.
00:40 - And in 2021, I think you had just had Noah.
00:43 - Yeah.
00:44 - And I was pregnant and trekking along to have Hazel.
00:48 And you were just so sweet.
00:52 I had heard through the grapevine,
00:54 basically through car,
00:55 that you were listening to music.
00:57 And I was like, "Shut up."
00:58 (laughing)
00:59 Just dying.
01:01 - Yes, I love her music.
01:02 - Thank you so much.
01:03 And I love you and all of yours.
01:05 - Thank you.
01:06 - So it's just really crazy to,
01:07 first of all, be doing this and sitting here with you.
01:09 Like I'm pinching myself right now.
01:11 And just to experience you as a human,
01:14 having a baby in a pandemic can be isolating.
01:18 - Yes.
01:19 - So just to have you there guiding things
01:21 and telling me advice,
01:23 and just as you were doing it as well for the second time,
01:26 but still a new experience.
01:28 Everything is, everyone is different.
01:30 Which is so lovely.
01:31 So I have to give you your flowers
01:33 just for being a great human being
01:35 in addition to being a great musician.
01:37 - Thank you so much.
01:38 I receive that.
01:39 Thank you so much.
01:40 - Yes, of course.
01:41 - Well, I think my favorite thing about you
01:46 is what I feel in your music.
01:50 I feel like you are warm.
01:55 I always feel like there's so many levels to your music.
01:59 And like when we get that version of you as a mom,
02:03 as a writer, as an artist, as a performer,
02:06 like you are the performer.
02:09 - Thank you.
02:10 - I always like look back and I was like,
02:11 she's the truth because of the fact that you do it all
02:16 from expressing yourself lyrically through song.
02:20 And I know you hear stuff
02:22 'cause I can hear it in the way you do your vocals.
02:27 Like you'll hear a horn
02:29 and you'll emulate the horn in a scale or something.
02:32 You know what I mean?
02:33 But it's so awesome to hear that and to feel it.
02:36 And like I said in the room,
02:38 it was, it's dope to me that you're like,
02:42 oh, I grew up with your music
02:44 and now I'm listening to yours,
02:45 but my children are listening to your music.
02:48 So I feel like your music
02:50 really transcends through generations.
02:53 - That means so much.
02:54 - Oh, no, absolutely.
02:55 - That means so much.
02:56 - It has so much soul, it has so much fun,
02:57 it has so much, like it's just in a class all by itself.
03:01 And I genuinely love it.
03:03 And I love you as an artist
03:04 and I love what you bring to this generation.
03:07 You force everybody to step the fuck up
03:09 when it comes to performing.
03:11 - Thank you.
03:11 - Because you are here, you are top tier.
03:14 - Well, look at you.
03:14 I mean, I'm emulating what I've seen growing up.
03:18 - Thanks.
03:19 - And also just looking at one of the first albums
03:23 I ever had, just looking at the artwork
03:26 of the writings on the wall,
03:27 like looking at you on the right hand side
03:30 in that cool shirt, I was like, I love her shirt.
03:32 Same skin tone.
03:34 And I was just like, I could see myself
03:36 and I wanted to pursue this.
03:39 And then it just feels, it all feels really full circle
03:41 because I moved to LA in 2009
03:44 to audition to be in a girl group.
03:46 - What?
03:47 - Yes, so it ended up being me and two other girls,
03:50 one from New York and one from Cincinnati.
03:53 And when I tell you we ran down,
03:55 say my name and cater to you,
03:56 like just, there's a bunch of YouTube videos.
03:59 - I'm gonna find them.
04:00 - Like, oh no, I shouldn't have said that.
04:03 But no, they're all over the internet,
04:05 just like of us covering your music
04:08 and just to see you and be sitting next to you
04:12 and just like talking about music
04:13 and to have advice from you about motherhood
04:16 just is like so cool.
04:17 - To be in a girl group and then to be off on your own.
04:22 I'm intrigued to know how you handled that transition.
04:27 - It was kind of like triumph, then heartbreak,
04:29 then triumph, then heartbreak.
04:32 We had sang for a bunch of executives
04:34 covering Destiny's Child and we got signed to Motown.
04:38 And then there was a point where I guess staff switched
04:43 so they dropped the group.
04:44 But I was still kind of in contract under Rodney.
04:47 So I kind of had to like pause from pursuing artistry
04:50 until I could figure that whole situation out.
04:52 And I think that's where my pursuit of songwriting
04:54 came in heavily.
04:56 Just like trying to find a way and like still express myself
04:59 and then eventually things work out.
05:02 I was let go of that from that contract
05:05 and writing became how I got into more rooms
05:10 and like was able to observe different people
05:12 and how their processes and meet all these
05:14 really great producers and collaborators.
05:16 And now I understand why that happened.
05:19 - I applaud you because I remember that transition
05:22 was crazy for me.
05:24 And when you said the high low,
05:25 I completely understood that.
05:27 I remember being so like, what is about to happen?
05:30 You know what I mean?
05:31 And it can be quite jolting,
05:34 but you handled it with so much ease.
05:36 Like I, you know what I mean?
05:38 - Thank you and you--
05:39 - With grace.
05:40 - You as well, like just seamless.
05:42 - Thank you.
05:44 But you're always graceful.
05:45 I feel like you're always graceful.
05:47 That's very rare now.
05:49 You know what I mean?
05:49 It's like, it's very rare now.
05:52 I just, every time I think of you,
05:54 I'm always like, she's just a rarity.
05:56 She truly is a rarity.
05:57 - That's exactly, I feel like we're in the mirror
06:00 because I'm like, I feel the same.
06:03 You know, sometimes it's different
06:04 when you experience someone and how they treat you
06:06 versus how you hear they treat other people.
06:08 - Everyone across the board is like, no, Kelly,
06:10 like she's such a sweetheart.
06:12 Like she makes you feel like you belong in that room.
06:15 She makes you feel so loved and warm.
06:18 And like, it just feels like a hug,
06:19 hanging out, talking to you.
06:21 - I don't mind being a hug.
06:22 - Yes.
06:23 - I kind of like that idea.
06:24 - It's a nice, firm hug.
06:25 It's not like the church hug, you know?
06:27 It's a real, it's a real hug.
06:30 - I think people know, of course,
06:31 that you're a songwriter, that you're an artist.
06:33 But for them to know that part,
06:35 like when you, look, when you made us a fan,
06:38 when you made us like write a second verse to "Oh My God,"
06:43 which I literally still listen to over and over again.
06:45 I'm like, why didn't she do a second verse?
06:47 She's like, well, write it, shit.
06:49 - You know what?
06:49 - It's so brilliant.
06:50 - To be honest, that was like,
06:53 I was in, contractually I cannot make the record longer.
06:57 So I had to find a way around, you know,
07:01 and also just trying to be creative in the pandemic
07:04 and collaborate with as many people as I can.
07:06 I feel like that was a fun way
07:07 to just hear people's different take on it.
07:10 Yeah, it was fun.
07:11 - That's me and Noah's song.
07:13 - I love it so much.
07:14 I think I saw a video of you guys in the closet dancing.
07:17 - Yes, I was dancing with my baby in my bra.
07:19 - In my bra.
07:20 - In the closet.
07:21 And it was like that song, the moment,
07:25 the way you say, oh man, I don't know why I'm worked up.
07:30 Like, might even be falling in love.
07:34 Like the way he looked at me and the way we locked eyes,
07:39 it's literally burned in my brain.
07:44 It's a moment that I, like I text you.
07:46 I was like this song, this moment,
07:49 it's the most glorious thing to me.
07:53 'Cause it was like, that's what I mean.
07:55 Like your music being so generational.
07:58 Like he'll never forget that.
07:59 When he listens to it now, he runs to see where I am.
08:02 So it's your, you have that effect.
08:07 - I love that so much.
08:08 - It's a beautiful effect.
08:09 - So I wanted to share something with you
08:12 that I recently found out.
08:14 - What?
08:14 We family.
08:15 We family.
08:16 - We could be.
08:17 We could be.
08:19 'Cause I think we're more,
08:20 we're similar in a lot of ways,
08:23 just as far as our upbringing.
08:25 I met my dad for the first time in my 20s.
08:27 - Really?
08:28 - Yeah, and we met at an Atlanta hotel.
08:32 - Whoa.
08:32 - Crazy.
08:34 And I found out that your dad's last name is Lovett.
08:39 And my family's last name is Lovett.
08:42 We have Lovett Funeral Home in Mobile, Alabama.
08:45 - L-O-V-E-T-T?
08:47 - Yes.
08:48 - Okay.
08:49 - So I'm like, we might need to do a little 23 with me
08:52 real quick 'cause your family's from the South.
08:54 And like, I feel like.
08:55 - My heart is racing.
08:57 - There's some, I feel like there's some things.
08:59 - No, it has to be something.
09:01 Yes.
09:02 - So.
09:04 - Victoria, that is wild.
09:05 - It's crazy.
09:06 - Are you serious?
09:07 - Yes.
09:08 So I have, all of my music is under Lovett,
09:11 Lovett Music Incorporated.
09:12 - L-O-V-E-T-T?
09:13 - Yes, yes.
09:14 - This is really blowing my mind.
09:16 - It's crazy.
09:18 It's crazy.
09:18 - Whoa.
09:19 So it's your dad's side.
09:21 - It's actually my mom's side.
09:22 - Your mom's side.
09:23 - So, but just my dad,
09:26 that connection was just the fact that we kind of went
09:28 a lot of our years without our father's present.
09:32 And I just wanted to know, like, how was that for you?
09:35 I know for me, it was like a lot of,
09:38 I guess, not envy, but just kind of questioning,
09:41 like, why don't I have what other kids have?
09:44 Like that question about if I'm wanted
09:46 and like then later learning the full story.
09:49 - Yes.
09:49 - Just hearing a different side of things.
09:51 - Yeah.
09:53 Wow.
09:55 That just hit me like a ton of bricks.
09:57 Mine was always, am I good enough?
10:02 Now that I've met him, I understand,
10:06 but I don't know if this happened for you,
10:08 but when I first met him and we were talking on the phone,
10:11 girl, it was like, I felt like a little kid, like, dating.
10:14 I'm married, by the way.
10:15 - Yes, yes.
10:16 - But I felt like it was dating, like all over again.
10:18 Like, oh my God, I can't wait till he calls.
10:20 What is he, you know what I mean?
10:21 Like, let me make sure, when he sees me on FaceTime,
10:24 like I was, like, it was like the strangest feeling.
10:27 And I called my friend who's a therapist.
10:30 I was like, what is going on
10:32 with this whole situation psychologically?
10:35 And he's like, this was actually what you were supposed
10:38 to feel when you were two and three and four and five
10:41 and six and seven.
10:43 He's like, you're supposed to feel like this.
10:45 Every little girl is supposed to feel like this.
10:48 And for a long time, I was like, I'm fine without a dad,
10:51 but I kept searching for it so deep.
10:54 So when I met him, uh-oh, and I saw his face.
10:59 And when I had Noah and I saw Noah in his face,
11:05 I straight lost it.
11:07 And it just feels really good to have him.
11:10 You know, it feels really good to have him
11:12 and be supported by him and to know that I'm a daddy's girl.
11:17 - Yes.
11:19 - Yeah.
11:20 - And I completely relate.
11:22 I just growing up without him,
11:24 I had a part of one of the reasons why I wanted to be
11:28 as successful as I could be is 'cause I had this weird
11:33 feeling or just want or dream that I would be so famous
11:41 that I would be on TV and he would recognize my face
11:47 and see me and be like, oh my God, that's my girl.
11:49 Because I couldn't find him.
11:51 He had such a common name that I would go through every name
11:54 and I'm aging myself, but in the phone book.
11:56 - In the phone book?
11:58 - In the phone book.
12:00 And I was calling different, yes.
12:02 I would call different people and ask, you know,
12:05 with the same name and ask if they knew such and such.
12:08 And just going through the whole thing.
12:10 So I ended up finding him eventually on Facebook.
12:12 - Wow.
12:13 - Thank you, Facebook.
12:15 And we met and at first it was like,
12:20 he was just so surprised to hear from me
12:22 and he rejected it for a while.
12:24 So like my first experience wasn't what I ideally,
12:28 I thought it was gonna be like open arms and come, you know,
12:30 but we got there.
12:32 We got there and we finally decided to meet face to face.
12:35 And the first time I met my dad,
12:37 I was having a drink with him, which is crazy.
12:39 But that same giddy feeling, like, I hope he likes me.
12:42 I'm like, what should I wear that would make him proud?
12:44 Like kind of trying to gather all of these facts
12:46 that maybe would make him proud.
12:48 Like I had good grades.
12:49 I, you know, this is like kind of going through the list.
12:51 So it's really just awesome to see you, you know,
12:55 just having this same kind of experience.
12:59 - Yeah.
13:00 - And just a full circle.
13:02 And do you feel like, 'cause for me,
13:04 I felt like having Hazel was kind of like his second chance
13:09 to like be there, you know?
13:12 Like start over, this is your chance to like do what we,
13:16 you know, we would have imagined that we would have had.
13:18 - Absolutely.
13:19 (laughing)
13:20 Absolutely.
13:21 I'm happy you got to meet him though.
13:23 - I feel the same.
13:24 I'm happy you guys got to have that full circle moment
13:26 and, you know, to see him as a granddad,
13:29 kind of imagining what it would have been like,
13:31 you know, like just for you.
13:34 And so you get to experience it, but just not for you,
13:36 but for someone that you love just as much as yourself,
13:38 if not more than yourself.
13:40 You get to experience them having that.
13:43 So that's really beautiful.
13:45 Do you feel like you like being in the room better
13:48 or being in the booth?
13:49 Kind of like booth, yeah.
13:52 - I love the booth.
13:53 I'm a booth bitch.
13:54 - Yeah, I'm a booth bitch.
13:55 I want that on a shirt.
13:57 I like to have it dark, lights off, don't look.
13:59 Do you like it?
14:00 - Mm-hmm.
14:01 - Yeah, it just feels like, you know,
14:04 you can hear my voice, no one can see me though,
14:06 and no one knows how I'm pushing these notes out.
14:08 Like you just do whatever.
14:09 - Yes, yes.
14:10 - And it's kind of like undocumented
14:12 and it's just my space.
14:13 - Absolutely.
14:14 - Then come out and act surprised.
14:15 Like, what did you like?
14:16 (laughing)
14:18 - I'm not, you said it, come on.
14:20 And act surprised, what did you like it?
14:21 - Did you like it?
14:22 - No, it was awesome, right?
14:23 (laughing)
14:25 The best thing to me about this particular studio
14:28 was coming in and seeing the plaques on the wall.
14:30 It was also the fact that when you open up doors,
14:33 you heard Rodney in one room.
14:36 You know what I mean?
14:37 Like somebody else in the room.
14:39 - Hit factory.
14:40 - It was.
14:40 - All the best people.
14:41 - I mean, and it still is, there's so much talent
14:43 that comes out of this particular studio.
14:45 But it was like, everybody worked in here.
14:49 You know what I mean?
14:50 And you could go out and you could talk to different artists
14:52 and everybody was there.
14:54 And you know, it's like, well, what you working on?
14:56 What you working on?
14:56 - Yeah.
14:57 Can I hear it?
14:58 - Yeah, that's right.
15:00 Can I hear it?
15:00 Well, where you are?
15:01 Well, we just got a verse right now.
15:02 Well, let's hear it.
15:03 Okay.
15:04 - Yeah, okay.
15:05 (laughing)
15:06 - It's that.
15:07 Which is fun too, because, you know,
15:09 then it's like, I don't know.
15:11 It's actually really healthy to me.
15:13 On the very last Destiny Fulfilled record,
15:16 we rented out the whole studio.
15:18 So you had B. Cox on one side, Rodney in another,
15:22 Ninth Wonder in another room.
15:25 Sean Garrett is writing a verse in the-
15:28 - A little competitive.
15:29 - You know what I mean?
15:29 - A little bit competitive.
15:30 - But it was healthy.
15:31 - Yeah, yeah.
15:32 - It was so healthy.
15:33 And it was just this really good culmination
15:37 of all these wonderful people.
15:39 And it was like, dang, y'all just did that downstairs?
15:41 Okay.
15:41 - Literally, yes.
15:42 - It was such a good feeling.
15:44 I mean, it was expensive, but it was so worth it.
15:48 - At that time, people, ugh.
15:50 I just hear stories about the rates.
15:53 I was like, thank you.
15:54 (laughing)
15:55 Like a house?
15:56 - Yes.
15:57 - A whole house?
15:58 - Yes, a whole house.
15:59 - Five bedroom, LA house?
16:01 Those kind of prices, but like, so worth it.
16:04 Like, thank you.
16:06 I got so much great music out of it.
16:11 - I find it so interesting that we both think like budget.
16:15 (laughing)
16:17 We both think budget.
16:18 - Numbers, I guess.
16:19 - Numbers, wait, how much was the house?
16:21 Who'd you have in there?
16:22 Y'all have instruments?
16:24 What equipment did you use?
16:24 - Literally.
16:25 - What mic?
16:26 You have a screen?
16:27 - Literally, yes.
16:28 - Y'all have a chef too?
16:29 Oh, damn.
16:30 - Oh, damn.
16:31 - Right?
16:32 So all of that cost.
16:35 But the greatness for all of that stuff costs so much.
16:37 It is a benefit, but it costs.
16:40 I think people forget that.
16:42 When artists are making records,
16:43 like you want to of course give
16:47 the best, most amazing version of yourself,
16:50 but we're doing all the math in our head.
16:53 - Math is mathin'.
16:54 - Math is mathin'.
16:57 - Yeah, yeah.
16:58 - And yeah, but responsible artists think like that.
17:02 - Yeah.
17:03 - Don't blow the buzzer.
17:05 - When my kids are listening to music now, it varies.
17:09 Like I remember Titan went through this phase
17:11 where he was into Wales, still into Wales,
17:14 but watched some song that was,
17:17 ♪ This is gonna be the best day of my life ♪
17:20 Something like that.
17:21 So he went from that to Drake.
17:24 - Okay.
17:25 - Then we had to--
17:26 - Variety.
17:27 - Right, variety.
17:28 But then we had to change it up
17:30 and find the right version of it without the curse words.
17:34 So now his playlist is like Jay-Z,
17:38 Kanye West, Drake, 21 Savage,
17:45 to this is gonna be the best day of my life,
17:49 to Maroon 5.
17:50 I'm like, what just happened?
17:53 - You know what?
17:54 - Literally.
17:55 - It's really cool though, just for him to have that.
17:57 I mean, Hazel doesn't know,
18:00 she's not at the age where she can understand
18:01 like if I played Ariana that like,
18:04 she knows that mommy's mommy though.
18:05 She kind of knows my voice in music now.
18:07 - Of course she does.
18:08 - So it's really sweet.
18:09 I thought we had a couple more years for this.
18:12 - Nah.
18:12 - But she's like, I wanna hear mama's song.
18:13 So I'm like, well my songs, baby,
18:15 are talking about smoke and all that.
18:18 Like I need a kids bop.
18:19 - But how do you, I need a kids bop?
18:20 - I'm like, potty girls, like we need a different,
18:22 you know, so.
18:23 - But how do you feel when she does say that?
18:26 - It's really special.
18:27 So my first time really seeing her react to seeing me
18:31 was I was on the red carpet for BET Awards last year.
18:36 - Was that when you had the brown on, the copper?
18:38 - Yes, I had the brown.
18:38 - My God, you looked amazing.
18:40 - Thank you.
18:42 And she was just so excited for me.
18:43 And she looked back, like it was a clip
18:45 where she like looks at the camera
18:47 and she looks back at her dad like,
18:48 how the hell she on the screen?
18:51 So it was just really sweet to just see her
18:53 be happy for me, even though she doesn't really know
18:56 that this has been a dream of mine since I was
18:58 a little bit older than her.
18:59 It's like this full circle, really cool thing.
19:02 - Absolutely.
19:03 But I need some advice from you.
19:04 Because I hear melodies and I'm always nervous.
19:09 I know to this day, it's 25 years on "Megan Thee Stallion"
19:12 and I'm still nervous to like sing a melody out loud.
19:15 And the last time I remember doing it
19:19 and it was so free was the last "Destiny Fulfilled" album.
19:24 And the "Miss Kelly" album.
19:27 - Okay.
19:28 - But I haven't exercised that muscle.
19:30 Do you, so my question is,
19:32 even for the songwriters out there,
19:34 like you feel like it's a muscle,
19:35 like you have to always be writing?
19:37 Because someone once told me if you're a songwriter,
19:40 you have to write every day to be great at songwriting.
19:45 - I feel like, to be honest,
19:47 I think your best songwriting comes when
19:49 you have something you've experienced.
19:51 So I think I used to think like that,
19:54 like kind of in a machine type of way,
19:56 like just write every day,
19:58 like no matter if you have anything to write about,
20:00 just stay in the studio 10, 12 hours and like, just do it.
20:03 And I found that my better songs came
20:05 when I had a little bit of time away from it and came back.
20:07 'Cause I was excited all over again.
20:09 I'm in my head.
20:10 I'm like in the corner.
20:11 I don't write anything down.
20:12 I'm just like, I like to keep it in here.
20:14 For my music in particular,
20:17 it's been easier for me to write my music slightly
20:20 because I don't have to spit out the ideas
20:23 or like hear people be like,
20:25 like kind of get the judgment.
20:28 But I think maybe that's one reason
20:30 why we like the lights off
20:31 because we want a judgment free space.
20:33 And we want just to do whatever comes freely to us,
20:37 but without the backlash of like,
20:39 or the rejection, I guess.
20:41 - Yes, yes.
20:42 No, for sure.
20:43 - Do you feel like you have an easy time?
20:44 Like if you recorded yourself like at a house studio,
20:47 like just like trying stuff.
20:49 - Yes.
20:49 - Yes.
20:50 - I think I would.
20:51 I also need a big sign in there that says,
20:53 do not keep in mind the artist.
20:54 And I'm sensitive about my shit.
20:56 E by do.
20:57 - Yes.
20:58 - What is your favorite track off Jaguar 2?
21:00 - It changes all the time.
21:03 'Cause the project, this project is like,
21:06 I guess even less,
21:08 it's not like a playlist type of project.
21:11 It's not like a certain mood.
21:13 It kind of jumps from like me talking about shaking ass
21:16 and being outside.
21:17 - Yes.
21:18 - To like, yes.
21:18 - Yes.
21:19 - To like being completely in love.
21:22 It's just like a new version of Victoria.
21:25 My voice has changed since having Hazel.
21:26 So it's like.
21:27 - Did it drop?
21:28 - It dropped.
21:29 - I know.
21:30 - How can we get it back up?
21:31 - Girl, I wish when Love Takes Over was as high,
21:33 live as it is on that record.
21:35 But it was like, drop that down.
21:37 - Yes, to the basement.
21:38 (laughing)
21:39 - Drop it down.
21:41 Everything changes.
21:42 But do you feel like your voice became richer?
21:45 Like it's like got this like something on it.
21:48 - Yeah.
21:49 - The tone is like more round and thicker.
21:52 But I'm just like, why can't I have that and that?
21:54 (laughing)
21:55 I'm like both.
21:57 - I know.
21:58 What's the major difference between Jaguar One and Two?
22:01 - I think they're like sisters.
22:02 I feel like they're the same DNA.
22:04 I don't know if they're like two completely different pages,
22:08 but I do feel like Jaguar Two kind of put an exclamation
22:11 point on the Jaguar era.
22:13 - Yes.
22:14 - So I'm like, I feel free to like move about the cabin.
22:16 (laughing)
22:17 - Yeah.
22:18 - Move about the cabin.
22:20 - Yeah, seatbelt sign is off.
22:21 It's exciting because it's like the end of an era,
22:24 but also the beginning of another one.
22:26 - Dope.
22:27 - It's like a rebirth almost.
22:29 I'm going through the canal, folks.
22:31 - Yes.
22:32 (laughing)
22:33 Well, I adore you.
22:34 - I love you so much.
22:35 - I love you.
22:36 I am here for you.
22:39 Behind the camera, in front of the camera.
22:41 - Same, whatever you need.
22:42 - Next to the camera, whatever.
22:43 I'm always here.
22:45 And I am really excited to hear this whole body of work
22:50 because like I said, there are moments in my life
22:55 where I've played your music and it's so colorful.
23:00 You have no idea how colorful it is.
23:02 I'm excited about this project.
23:03 - Thank you so much.
23:04 Thank you for sending it over.
23:05 - And I'm gonna call you when I get over my little,
23:06 I did it alone moment.
23:08 - Please, please, please, please.
23:09 - No, I swear I am.
23:10 - Call me, call me.
23:11 - For sure.
23:12 - I can't wait to hear the new music.
23:14 Like I know it's going to be brilliant
23:15 and whatever comes from your mind
23:17 is gonna blow even you away.
23:19 - Thank you.
23:20 - Shoot, I didn't double think about that.
23:22 And it just came out
23:24 and I think you're gonna be happily surprised.
23:27 - Okay, I look forward to the surprise.
23:29 And thank you, Rolling Stone.
23:30 Thank you so much.
23:31 - Yes, thank you guys.
23:32 Thank you.
23:33 (clapping)
23:35 (upbeat music)
23:38 (upbeat music)
23:41 (upbeat music)
