• 0:00
  Speaker 1: This is Kiss Breakfast.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Olivia Deen, one of the biggest female artists in the
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: world at the moment. Huge hits like Men I Need.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: By the way, that song's still love for me and
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: it came out like a year ago.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's one of those ones that doesn't burn.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: So in her songs, her voice is very clear, almost soulful.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: So when she was doing this interview, she revealed her
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: biggest pet peeve in other people's songs is actually when
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: you can't understand the lyrics that they're singing. Take a listen.
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: Why write the lyrics if I can't hear what you're saying?
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: You might as well just make noise. How about we
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: can hear what I'm saying? It really irritates me when
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: it's like you can't hear what people are saying.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: That's my pet peeve.
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: I get it's like a style thing maybe for people,
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: but I'm always like, turn my voice up in the mix.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: I want people to hear what I wrote.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: I love what I wrote.
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: And that's the whole point. Also, I'm going to enunciate.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: I get that because there's a lot of songs where
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: I like, I don't know what they're saying.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Well, another person that's really big on that, and she
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: says it in interviews and songwriting masterclasses and stuff all
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: the time, is Taylor Swift. She enunciates her words. She
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: even won't... There's one I can't remember now, and I
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: wish I did, a famous line in her song where
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: everyone thinks, why did she use that word when it
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: clearly should have been another word? And she did it
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: because both the end of that word and the start
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: of the next word used the same letter, and she
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: doesn't like doing that because she feels the words run
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: into each other, so she changed the word. But there's
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: one specific example of a singer who I think you
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: struggle to understand the words they're saying, and that's SZA.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Remember when she had the... the little verse in Doja
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Cat's song, Kiss Me More.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: I remember everyone struggling to know what she was saying.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Goosey lemonade or something.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Goosey lemonade. Coffin with you?
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I think it was Coffin with you.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: But like you find when you're singing along to this,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: you just kind of go like, happening when you're freeing.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Another one is there's this
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: rapper and this is the thing, and I think this
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: is what Olivia Dean's probably referring to mostly. There's a
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: whole genre of rap called mumble rap and they do
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: it on purpose. So there's this one song by Young
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Thug called Lifestyle. I've got a bit of it I
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: think here. What is he saying?
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: What is he saying? Yeah, no idea. Sean, you're in
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: your band. What's your band called again?
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: The Ritz Kids.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think why we listen to music and we
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: like music is we want to know what the story
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: is about.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Lyrics.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, lyrics.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Do you try and enunciate properly?
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I suppose as best as I can. I'm in a
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: punk band, so it's very quick.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but no, I've heard some of yours where, because
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: sometimes in rock, the music drowns out the lyricists. Whereas yours,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: I feel you can very clearly still hear what you're saying.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Oh, there you go.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: You reckon? Have we got some?
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: The ritzy kids. There's a song called Betty I think
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: we played the other day.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Is it Betty? Sally.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, close.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Betty, Sally, same, same.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: But if you look up the Ritzy Kids.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: We might have it. I think we've got it here. Well,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: let's see if he can enunciate properly in his music.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: You don't have to tell me if you can hear
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, let's see if it works, if we can
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: find it.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're playing it through YouTube. If you can put
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: the volume up on that.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: All right, at least you're on YouTube.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: That's Sean playing the guitar too.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: All right, here we go.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Is the lyrics coming, Sean?
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Hear what I've got to say.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Hear what I've got to say.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Something about a child at me.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: What?
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Something goes away. Oh, we've got to appreciate.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: You following along there?
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: I'm trying not to look at the screen because the
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: lyrics are there.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm looking at the screen.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Right, well then you're, yeah.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Good on you, man. Good on you.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Are you and the Ritzy Kids touring soon? I know
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: your ads are on Grindr.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: How's that going? Yeah, it's going good this Friday in Brizzy,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Saturday in Sydney.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: How's Grindr going?
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Going great, apparently. Oh, and I bumped into the gay
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: guy that we work with that's found the ads, and
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: he said it's just constantly popping up. Wow.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: So you must have paid for a premium Grindr membership.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Well, I was talking to him because he does follow
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the Ritzy Kids, so I'm guessing that's why he's getting it.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: They're serving it to him.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Oh. Ah, yes.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Well, enjoy Brizzy. All the gays in the crowd are
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: going to love you.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: All right. I also want to quickly mention this New
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Zealand actress. Her name's Melanie Linsky. You might remember her
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: from Coyote Ugly. She was in Two and a Half Men,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: The Last of Us, but her latest movie is Don't
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Say Good Luck alongside Adam Sandler's daughter, Sunny Sandler. She
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: plays the mother in that who's sick, if you've seen it.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Now she's from New Zealand, which means she's got a
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: heavy New Zealand accent and she plays an American in
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: the show. So there's always words and phrases that us
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Aussies and the New Zealanders struggle with when they're trying
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: to do the American accent. So she answered the question,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: what was the hardest word to say in an American accent?
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Here's what she said. Play. She said nothing.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Got it.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Sorry.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Sorry. Technical issue because we were getting the ritzy kids.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: New York. Really?
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: New York is how I say it. New York. But
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: you just did it.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: But it sounds like an alien is talking.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: I don't get it. New York. That's not that hard.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: No, you're saying it as an Australian.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Oh, what do I need to do?
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: New York.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: New York.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, you're so bad. I got the producers to pull
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: up like, There's two things here. We'll both give one
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: a go.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: But two sentences to try and read out in an
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: American accent because I reckon you've got no chance. All right,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: you go first. I don't think I'm good either. Oh.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: All right. I'm icked already. My girlfriend grabbed a glass
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: of grapefruit. Why is this a tongue twister? It's already
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: hard enough.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Go on, go on.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Of grapefruit juice and graciously greeted Greg at the grocery store.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Sounds kind of American. Yeah, give me one. All right,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: I'll do the next one. Can you move that up, please?
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: I can't see through Natalie.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: You know I'm a pain, but you can't see through me.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Dad says that.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: I'm out of the way, but I'm not on mics.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: I'll just be over here. The thing is, we'll move
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: your microphone over.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: You can move mics.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Sorry.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: You know the thing with American accents is there's so many, right?
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: They change from west to east. Try a Boston.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: My girlfriend ate a yogurt scone beside the alimony.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: No, they say aluminum.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Aluminum garage. Garage. Talking to my aunt. That was absurd.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: He started as Matthew McConaughey and ended as Foghorn Leghorn.
