00:00 It's been a long time, I haven't seen you in so long.

00:04 I was up at the studios, I remember that day.

00:07 Oh my god, it was forever ago. But look, we're back.

00:10 And you're putting new music out, your disco video I just saw, girl. So how is it?

00:14 It's been amazing. Like, there's been this whole resurgence for me

00:19 that I've worked very hard at, and it's happening.

00:22 And, you know, new fans, old fans circling back around.

00:25 My OG Diamond Deb head's still with me for the ride.

00:28 It's been a great time. I'm having a really good time.

00:31 And, I mean, you've been having a good time this week as well.

00:33 I saw you out partying with Kylie Minogue and Lenny Kravitz.

00:36 So how is it to just be at, like, have all the support of your industry friends

00:39 and support other people?

00:40 You know, it is this moment. Like, I felt this in the room last night

00:44 'cause some rooms in the music industry, it's like everyone wants to be the new, young, fresh thing.

00:50 Last night's party, tonight's party, it's all about this respect

00:54 for people who have been in it. Like, Smokey Robinson just walked by.

00:57 Like, you want to see people who have been in the industry for decades and sustained.

01:03 And there's that mutual respect going on.

01:05 And so I feel like I've landed in the right spot.

01:08 I'm getting a lot of love, and that's a lot.

01:10 You know, I haven't always got-- I've had a lot of cynics in my career, too.

01:13 We all have 'em.

01:14 Yes. So to be in a place where there is that love and respect

01:17 for the longevity feels really nice.

01:20 And I love that--

01:21 It's all happening along.

01:22 And by the way, with all of your longevity,

01:24 I love that you also always support other artists as well.

01:27 So when you're looking at this crop of nominees and stuff tomorrow,

01:30 who's been exciting you in the music industry?

01:32 I mean, listen, you know, when I look at Olivia Rodrigo and I look at Billie Eilish,

01:35 it's hard for me to not look at the young girls

01:38 because I was that young girl.

01:40 I was banging those doors down.

01:41 Nobody wanted to hear from a young girl.

01:43 Now they do.

01:45 And I just-- I love seeing these young, creative, female powerhouses

01:50 who are doing the triple threat of writing, producing, and performing their music.
