00:00give her some room here sorry let me step over here
00:04that's all right oh my gosh it's it's great to see you
00:08again i remember i saw you at don toliver's set
00:10yeah a couple years ago oh so you guys go way back
00:13going up so fast every time i see her she's just a little bit bigger a little
00:17bit bigger so i mean she's talking about you all day
00:20because she is your number one we kind of have a similar hairstyle
00:23yes we do oh my gosh guys like i'm shaking right now
00:26i didn't get the memo but next year we'll all coordinate next year
00:30yeah it's an unspoken bond
00:35well you recently announced your fifth studio album sincerely so can you please
00:38talk to us about what that album means to you
00:40and what can we expect um it's definitely my most vulnerable work
00:45it's very existential um my last album was very dance so this
00:50is just completely the opposite direction it's an emotional one
00:53yes yes and i mean you also you're a mother now
00:57and something that has been a main theme that i feel like a lot of people are
01:00talking about is that empowerment that comes along
01:02with being a mother so how has motherhood changed you um
01:06actually not even just motherhood i've had multiple life-altering events that
01:10have really shaped my entire world and the way
01:14that i look at my life and the way that i live on a day-to-day basis so
01:17more to come when the album actually comes out that i can talk about it a
01:20little bit more but um it definitely changes you
01:23forever you know absolutely and yes shout out to all the
01:27mothers out there and i feel like it's very
01:28it's very important to give them their flowers absolutely
01:32yes so oh you can go ahead go ahead you are
01:36reunited with your pal i was going to ask you
01:40what inspired you while creating your album oh my gosh so many different
01:44topics but i feel like in general just kind of like
01:47the state of the world finding a way to you know
01:51live a life of enjoyment despite the world despite the circumstances that
01:54you might be in finding a way to romanticize your life
01:57in any type of way and the place that i'm in in my life but
02:00also you know where we're at in the world a
02:03lot of it is very just full encompassing conceptually about
02:08home and you know life like right a moment in
02:13time and i feel like you really capture every aspect of that and that's why you
02:16know fans connect with you so much because you're so honest you're so raw
02:19you know yeah i write all my own music and i feel like that's such a big part
02:22of why my coochies that's what they're called
02:24can really like resonate with me because they feel that it's me and everything's
02:29very personal so absolutely well thank you so much yes
