1:18
join me today. And you know what, the
1:21
last singles that you guys have promoted
1:24
um was absolutely amazing.
1:28
>> A placeh place called Love.
1:31
Okay, I know y'all getting good uh good
1:34
reviews for that. So, why don't you tell
1:36

1:38
um this new single because I look I feel
1:41
like it's laughing, connecting, and
1:44
falling into something special. And it
1:46
it it's it's like it it brings uh a lot
1:50
of light and fun. It's like when you're
1:51
in the car, I feel like I want to text
1:53
somebody something wrong and I ain't
1:55
supposed to be
1:58
do that. Yeah. Yeah.
2:02
But tell me about this new single you
2:04
guys got that that's out right now.
2:07
>> So you have it like you said it makes
2:09
you feel all different type of emotions.
2:12
Emotions for you and your partner, you
2:14
and your husband, your wife, your lover.
2:17
It makes you feel for family, you know
2:20
what I mean? Blood and the family that
2:22
you've created on your own. Um, just the
2:26
weather,
2:27
>> you know, just looking at God, great all
2:31
the things that God has created. That is
2:33
wonderful. You know what I mean? You you
2:34
you were touching on it. That's where it
2:36
comes from. Yeah.
2:37
>> I love it. And I just want to like roll
2:39
my window down and just, you know, let
2:42
the wind blow through your hair. My
2:44
curl. Let the wind through my blowing.
2:48
And I think the great thing about that
2:50
is there's nothing else that has that
2:52
feeling or sound right now. You know,
2:55
everybody's either doing that or doing
2:57
that. And we are bringing all the things
3:00
you just spoke about. So, we love that.
3:02
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
3:03
>> You're welcome. You're welcome. Now,
3:05
this track has like the classic coffee
3:09
brown warmth to it, but it still of
3:11
course is current. So, how are you guys
3:14
like honor honoring like the signature
3:17
sound, but still y'all picking up new
3:19
fans, this new generation? How are you
3:21
guys feeling about that?
3:24
>> Well, with this one, we went back to the
3:27
maestro himself, KG from Naughty by
3:30
Nature. And of course, you know, he
3:32
creates he has a a a natural-born talent
3:36
for creating great music that feels
3:39
good, that's timeless. So that we went
3:41
back to work with him and that's how
3:43
that sound is. Still the same, still
3:46
warm, still intentional.
3:48
>> Yeah.
3:49
>> And you do know what they say, if it
3:51
ain't broke, don't fix it.
3:53
>> So, um, we've definitely been using the
3:56
same formula from the first project and
3:59
just kept that same intention as V had
4:03
love and conversation and a feeling of,
4:06
you know, just good music. So, um, we
4:10
was very happy about this one for sure.
4:12
>> Yeah.
4:13
>> Now, last time you guys were here, you
4:15
were kind of like reintroducing
4:16
yourselves. Yeah.
4:18
>> To to the new generation and and
4:20
bringing it back, you know, for the
4:22
people that have been rocking with you
4:23
guys for forever. Um, did this comeback
4:26
feel like you're picking up where you
4:28
left off or is this like starting a
4:30
whole new chapter for you guys?
4:33
>> I'll let me answer that.
4:37
For me, I feel like it's picking up
4:40
where I left off because
4:42
you you know, you I hadn't done it for
4:45
so long
4:46
>> and then I you know, we begin to perform
4:49
and and talk to the people and the same
4:52
love was there. The same
4:54
>> excitement was there. So for me is
4:58
exactly where I left it. It was sitting
5:00
there growing, aging, you know, um
5:03
>> gracefully, right?
5:06
Yeah. Being preserved and voila, here it
5:09
is again. So, yeah, for me it was where
5:11
I picked that from.
5:12
>> Yeah.
5:13
>> I could honestly say that I feel that
5:16
too
5:17
>> because um and I say this all the time,
5:20
like us as black people, we was in that
5:22
video. Okay.
5:24
>> So, we all knew what it felt like. You
5:26
know what I'm saying? And then
5:27
>> yeah,
5:28
>> definitely getting to know getting the
5:32
blessings from FS. It really did did you
5:35
feel like, okay, this car is already
5:37
driving and me getting a passenger seat,
5:39
strapping, and then also still
5:44
keep that nostalgia, but still bringing
5:46
a bunch who that don't even know who is
5:50
really like trying to bringing people
5:52
in. But it's been a great blend of
5:54
merging the two because a lot of people
5:57
are like doing that on TikTok and the
5:59
dancing. It's all Asians, you know what
6:01
I'm saying? So, it's just a timeless a
6:04
timeless, you know, um,
6:06
>> sound and capsule.
6:08
>> You know what I'm saying?
6:08
>> That's right.
6:09
>> Now, V, you're the original voice that
6:11
we all fell in love with. And Ryan, you
6:13
bring a fresh twist to the story. Now,
6:16
how did you two find your chemistry? Was
6:18
it a surprise that you, you know, that
6:20
you guys had so much chemistry or did
6:22
y'all had to work on it a little bit?
6:25
>> Actually, it was like we've known each
6:27
other for forever and that's the
6:29
>> the weirdest thing.
6:31
Yeah, it was uh you know, we talked on
6:34
the phone. We were we we we knew we got
6:37
to know each other over the phone before
6:39
we ever saw each other face to face.
6:41
>> Yeah.
6:42
>> Um and then we just it was just so it
6:45
was a comfort, you know? It was a
6:47
comfort. There was no
6:49
>> um
6:51
there was nothing behind him, you know
6:54
what I mean? There was no
6:55
>> Let me see because you know, you know
6:57
what I mean? It was none of that. It was
7:00
it was a genuine spirit about him.
7:03
>> He's silly. Like I'm very silly. He
7:06
likes to have fun and laugh because I'm
7:08
extremely silly
7:09
>> and he likes to have fun. So it was it
7:12
was a easy transition getting to know
7:17
>> Yeah.
7:18
>> No. And and and I'm going to piggy back
7:22
off what V is saying because as you was
7:24
talking it really had me thinking like
7:26
wow it was just a refreshing
7:32
thing after the pandmic.
7:35
You know what I mean? It just felt good
7:38
to meet a new friend and build and us
7:41
have the same dreams and wants and like
7:44
all the same things. And the only thing
7:46
we don't like, well that I don't like is
7:49
seafood, but other than that, we we
7:52
agree on everything and it's just a
7:55
great bond. So like it's really been
7:57
dope. Like for real, for real. Like it
8:00
hasn't been forced or you know, people
8:02
be like, I don't know. Because as V was
8:05
saying, like you get a little leery with
8:07
any new friend, especially being grown.
8:09
It's like I got my friends, I'm good.
8:11
Right. But it's it's been great
8:15
>> to just be thrown in her page mage of
8:19
family, her as well in mine. It's it's
8:22
just been amazing. And I'm so hyped for
8:26
what's to come because like
8:28
>> it's tight. You know what I'm saying?
8:30
Like we got
8:31
>> that admiration that you guys have for
8:33
each other. That's pretty cool. I love
8:35
that.
8:36
>> Okay. So, okay. Coffee Brown has always
8:40
told, in my opinion, and I'm sure
8:41
others, love stories that feel real, the
8:44
good, the messy, the hopeful, and the I
8:47
might text my ex parts. Where does Place
8:50
Called Love fit in your love story
8:52
timeline? Is it would you say it's the
8:54
beginning, the middle, or we try again
8:57
chapter? What would What would you say?
9:00
>> I would say H. That's a great question.
9:02
I would say
9:03
>> that's a great question.
9:06
I would say um
9:10
I would say that Coffee Brown is grown
9:12
up, right? And
9:15
>> and we're trying to approach this
9:18
maturely at this point. You know what I
9:20
mean?
9:21
>> Like um you know the first single about
9:24
it and then you come back with simple
9:26
things and here we now we're in a place
9:28
called love. So it's like we're you know
9:30
we started out you know it was just a
9:33
intimate situation. Right. Right. What
9:35
about it? And the place called love. We
9:37
kind we feeling each I mean not place
9:39
simple things you know it's just a
9:41
simple things me seeing your face. Hey
9:43
you what you doing right now on a place
9:47
called love. Oh my god I can't wait to
9:49
see you.
9:50
>> It's a place called love. Yeah.
9:52
>> I love a continuation. So I guess you
9:55
would say we're in the middle.
9:57
>> Yeah. I love that too. And so your music
10:02
always feels like it belongs by either
10:04
candle lights, slow dancing in the
10:06
kitchen or late night car rides. Where
10:09
do you want your fans to mentally go
10:10
when they press when they press play on
10:13
your music? Where do you want them to
10:15
go?
10:16
>> I would say all those places. Anywhere
10:19
that's a vibe. Like anywhere that you
10:21
just feel like it's just you and them
10:25
speakers and your partner, you know what
10:26
I'm saying? Um, and we and we actually
10:29
speak about this all the time. We want
10:31
people every time they see us, every
10:33
time they hear us, every time they see
10:36
even a picture from us, you feel the
10:38
energy. You know what I'm saying? So all
10:40
those places in the gym, in a car, at
10:43
your job, I hear I hear afterparty at
10:46
work all the time and it's just like,
10:49
wow, this is playing literally
10:51
everywhere. So I'd say anywhere that's a
10:54
vibe. Of course, you know, anything
10:56
grown and sexy, but um our music is for
10:59
everybody. You know what I'm saying? So,
11:01
I say anywhere that's a vibe is created.
11:03
>> And where whatever you're listening to,
11:05
let's let it take you on that journey.
11:07
Whatever whatever song you're listening
11:08
to, just take the journey with the song.
11:11
