  Speaker 3: get to work on this.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: It was time.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: And the big difference from the past on this one

  Speaker 3: is that I'm doing it all like independently.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: So I'm like, it's like it's my baby.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: I hired the people I wanted to work with, I'm
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: funding it.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: It's like I'm in the driver's seat. It feels great.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Is that what's obviously a decision you made on purpose?
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Does that just give you more freedom and you're not
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: feeling like a libel's telling you what you ken and
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: count right and stuff like that on?
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And like, look, I've had some good experiences with
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: labels and then I've had some sort of annoying experiences.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: It's not been all bad, but I.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Just wanted to do this one on my own, you know,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: like I knew what I wanted to make. I wasn't
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: really interested in like negotiating, compromising and playing politics.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Gotcha, Now you sampled around the World on your new
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: song under the Rhythm? What about it is? Why why
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: did we pick around the world? What a hit?
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: You know? It was like it was an accident.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: It was like the majority of the song was already done,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: like written, and then I was in the studio, you know,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: finalizing my vocals on it, and I just kept hearing
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: that melody in my head with the chord progression, and
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: I kind of was singing it kind of for fun, and.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: We all kind of stopped and went, oh, we got
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: to put that in. Yeah, that's like that.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: It's like undeniable and it's such a good late nineties hit.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: In fact, we got a little game we're going to
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: play with you about some nineties music. We'll do that
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: in a moment. I think you'll enjoy it. Hey, I've
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: recently watched Bohemian Rhapsody again. It was like on the
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: TV late at night. What was it like when your
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: time touring around with Queen and you know, stepping up
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: to do that role? It would have been incredibly well hard.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking to begin.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: With, Oh the role, I mean I was literally I
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: have I'm like in two frames of the movie as
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: a trucker.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: You mean the role in the band?
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I made the role in the bed. Yes, I didn't
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: think you Freddy Mercury, I am.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: In that movie.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: First, I'm in the movie for like half a second,
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: like if you blink, you'll miss me.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: But I am in the movie. I thought that's being met.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I was like, well it was really easy. I didn't
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: have to do anything.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: No, what was it like touring around with Quaine and
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: you know, stepping up into the shoes at Freddy Mercury.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it was. It's been incredible. We were
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: on the road together for ten years. Yeah, and I
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: love them.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: I mean it's like extended family at this point.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: You know, I grew a lot, I learned a lot.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: I like, you know, when I first started with them,
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: If I go back and look at those performances.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of like a little all over the place, if.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: I'm being honest, and I think I kind of like
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: grounded myself more over over time, I learned to just
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: sort of trust myself more and learning that like a
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: little less can be a little more, you know.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: And if you've got a favorite Queen song that you
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: love to perform, oh it's hard.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, show must go On.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: It's pretty massive, major, but it's also really it's a lot.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: It's a big one. I love My Love, I love
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Another Invice to Us. I think it's just such a
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: good record.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I like that.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: I think that's my favorite like recording, like as like
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: a record, you know.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: So I watched there was a doco on Queen as well,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: and is it Somebody to Love? The one that George
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Michael did have you ever seen the cover of that?
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, that was at the that was at the tribute,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: the Freddy Tribute concert in ninety one.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was incredible. How good is it? Yeah, but
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you're just as good when you were doing.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I was. I was very inspired by George Michael's version.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: I mean he was really good, really good.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: How you revealed in an interview recently you didn't have
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: a proper boyfriend until you were twenty four. What's it like,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: dot you? Yeah, I watched that long festival.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Well, this is the nineties, like the late nineties, you know,
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: into the early two thousands, so like it was sort
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: of like I didn't really meet anybody until I came out.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I didn't come out.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: Until after high school, so I was a bit of
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: like a late bloomer, you know, like.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: It was like arrested development.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: I was still trying to like figure out what I
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: was about, you know, I had so basically between what
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: eighteen and twenty four, I was like dating, you know.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: And then what's it like, you know with a big
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: showby's career and relationships hot.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I'm still trying to work it.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: I really have not, So I don't have the answers,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: you know, and that's I mean, there was so much
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: of that on this new album that like, I wanted
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: to embrace the sort of imperfections and like the parts
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: of life that I don't have figured out and that
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: I'm not great at and that are messy and depressing,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: and you know, as much as I wrote songs that
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: were about the upliftings, like I really wanted to create
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: a balance on this one.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Do you think it would be easy and not being
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: in showbiz for a relationship, I can, Yeah.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: I think I think it creates a very specific set
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: of circumstances and challenges.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: The funny thing too, is that I've never actually dated
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: anybody who was also in the business, like as a celebrity,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: as an artist, so I've tended to date people that weren't,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: and so I don't know, maybe that would make things easier.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know, not sure.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but then you hear people that date people that
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: are other celebrities and it doesn't work either. So what
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: the hell is the answer?
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: I don't know if anybody has the answer. I think
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: it's all trial and error. I think life is an
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: adventure and a journey, and you know, one step at
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: a time. I do think it comes in chapters though,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: you know, I think with you know, with this album,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: like I started doing the writing on this, like there's
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: like a big ballot on the album, and I started
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: writing it a week after I ended A five your relationship,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: So that was.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Like, that was tricky.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: That was really tricky, you know, and feeling very confused
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: about it.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: I bet all right, stick around. We're going to play
• 7:12
