00:00 Hey guys, I'm here with Steven Sanchez.

00:03 You look like someone I would know.

00:05 Where are you from?

00:06 I'm from Nashville.

00:08 Dang, I've never been.

00:10 It's beautiful.

00:11 It's great. It's amazing.

00:12 It's full of southern people and Waffle House and fried chicken.

00:18 I mean, it sounds like a time.

00:19 I'm a big HGTV girl and they go down there a lot.

00:22 Can we get into this outfit?

00:24 We can get into it.

00:25 Yeah, it's a...

00:26 We got Balenciaga.

00:28 We have an unnamed brand that I don't know.

00:31 We have Gucci.

00:32 We have Saint Laurent.

00:34 And I think I'm wearing Hanes underwear, but who's to say?

00:36 I can't remember.

00:37 I love this bow.

00:39 It's giving, I was told, Seinfeld episode, something about a pirate shirt.

00:43 Does this ring a bell?

00:44 Oh, amazing. Wow, thank you so much.

00:45 I actually got that earlier today.

00:47 That's really nice.

00:48 I mean, some people are showing their age.

00:49 We're young, they're old.

00:51 Yeah, there you go.

00:52 Okay, so I have something exciting to share, right?

00:55 You are working on an album, Angel Face.

00:58 Angel Face.

00:59 Comes out September 22nd.

01:00 It does.

01:01 It's a Libra.

01:02 It's a Libra album.

01:03 What can we expect on it?

01:05 I mean, it's got this '50s and '60s flavor.

01:07 It's set from the years 1958 through 1964

01:09 and it's highlighting the career of the Troubadour Sanchez,

01:11 this fictional, famous crooner back in the day

01:14 who falls in love with this character named Evangeline

01:17 who is dating a mobster club owner named Hunter back in the '60s

01:23 who inevitably kills the Troubadour Sanchez

01:26 because he finds out about the secret love between Evangeline and them.

01:30 This sounds like an awesome, awesome plot.

01:34 Thank you.

01:35 How many tracks are on it?

01:36 There are 13, and it takes you through the whole record.

01:39 The whole story is in tandem with the song's order.

01:43 And then you're going to tour this album.

01:45 Can we expect a big production?

01:48 What am I going to feel when I come on set?

01:50 I mean, it's going to feel like we're going to bring you back to that time.

01:52 We're going to play the characters and the roles,

01:54 Stephen Sanchez and the Mooncrest, the boys in the Mooncrests,

01:57 and I'm going to get shot and die on stage, you know, fictionally.

02:03 Not in reality.

02:05 So you've had quite a last year, right?

02:08 So you performed at Sophia Rich's wedding.

02:11 You were invited by Sir Elton John to perform at his final glastonery.

02:16 What did that mean to you?

02:19 I mean, gosh, I mean, it meant everything.

02:24 It meant everything.

02:25 I mean, Elton is such a wonderful human being.

02:30 And the fact that he would even consider me to come out for something like that.

02:33 I mean, this whole thing, even being here at the VMA,

02:35 is like I don't feel like a big deal.

02:37 I don't feel like famous or that important or anything.

02:39 I may be dressed like a president or something like that,

02:42 but this is all a tremendous gift to be here,

02:44 and to get to do something like that was a tremendous gift.

02:46 And to have him as a friend and even a mentor

02:49 and somebody that I look up to is a tremendous gift.

02:52 gift.
