00:00We're here with Benny, and she has been making a long-awaited comeback with a couple singles.
00:05Does this mean an album's on the way?
00:07It sure does. It does mean an album's on the way.
00:10I love it. What's the inspo behind this next album era?
00:15Like existential dread, but then like just having fun with being on a floating rock in
00:21the middle of nowhere.
00:22Oh, I love that.
00:23Yeah.
00:23I love that. And I think we all need to take a step back now and again and just realize that
00:27we are on a floating rock.
00:28We're on a little rock.
00:29And we're just a little speck on that rock.
00:31In spades. It's like Horton Hears a Who.
00:33I love it. I love that. We're just a little tiny little thing.
00:37How do you navigate, you know, the pressure of, I mean, obviously you've been grinding at it,
00:42and you have had the pleasure of having some TikTok success as well.
00:46How do you maintain the balance of that, like being authentic as an artist,
00:52knowing that you've had a couple viral hits?
00:54I think, I mean, I just make music how I always do.
00:59And just to like try to make the best thing in a session and like
01:02make a song that I'm proud of and I love.
01:04And I guess it's just like a feeling with music.
01:07It's not so much like wondering what's going to happen after the math.
01:11But it's awesome when it does happen on TikTok.
01:13It's true.
01:14Thank you, TikTok. Thank you, people.
01:17And I love it. And I mean, besides yourself, of course,
01:20who are some artists that you're loving lately?
01:22Oh, that's a good question.
01:24I have loved Fouche's album.
01:26Oh, I need to check it out.
01:27Pointy Heights.
01:29Dolce.
01:30I love she is.
01:32Yeah, she's she's killing it right now.
01:34Honestly, there are so many artists, but those are definitely my two.
01:37You are opening also for Tate McRae.
01:40What a year. I mean, what a year you're both have been having.
01:42I mean, girl power.
01:43Craziness. Yeah, the queen.
01:45I supported Olivia in January as well.
01:48Oh, January.
01:49I also supported Olivia Rodrigo in July, August.
01:54So it's been so nice to be like chilling with the pop queens right now.
01:59Wow. It's been a lot of fun.
02:00But yeah, the rise of the girl pop.
02:02For real. Tate tour next year.
02:03UK, Europe. Let's go.
02:05Excited. Excited.
02:06Might have to fly out for one of these.
02:08Dude, you're going to have to.
02:09I love it.
02:09You might have to.
