00:00Hanging out with Levy at the House of Mouse. How's it feel to be here tonight?

00:03I'm so excited. There's like, I'm seeing already so much, like, many ears and bows and like...

00:09It's the merch for me.

00:10It's always the merch for me.

00:13I mean, what is your Disney experience like? What has the brand meant to you?

00:17Oh my god, I mean, it's just my childhood, right? I think growing up, I didn't really have...

00:22I always loved, like, old music, old sounds. I didn't have much context for it, but I always heard it in movies.

00:27And, like, the way I told my friends about my music and, like, my musical aspirations was kind of always through the lens of music.

00:34It's like, you listen to the music from, like, the old Peter Pan movies, like, the old Disney Princess movies.

00:41That kind of vintage sound is everything that I strive for in my modern project.

00:47So, it means a lot to me.

00:49I love that you can connect all the lines there.

00:51Yeah, of course.

00:51I mean, you're going to be taking the music out on the road with Suki Waterhouse.

00:54I am.

00:54We're so excited about that. So, how did you decide to partner with her?

00:57And what's it going to be like on the road?

00:58Oh my god, I mean, I'm such a fan of hers.

01:01I kind of...

01:02I wanted it to be, like, a girly show.

01:04Like, I was like, I need a girl.

01:07But, you know, I went to a concert at the Greek here a couple months ago.

01:11And I was just really taken by her musicality.

01:14She had so many fun...

01:15Like, her band was made up of, like, fun musicians.

01:18And also, like, the costumes and the dancing and everything.

01:21Like, it was just a very captivating show.

01:24And I thought, that's exactly the kind of energy I want to have on the road.

01:27Oh, I can't wait to see it.

01:28And, I mean, you've been putting songs out.

01:30But the full project isn't coming out until August, right?

01:32August 22nd.

01:32Yeah, it's a while.

01:33So, what can you tease people about what else they can expect from your new album?

01:36Third album.

01:37Third album.

01:38I would say it's very, it's, like, surreal.

01:45It's quite surreal.

01:46And it's very, it's quite dramatic.

01:49Like, it's big.

01:50Yeah.

01:50We love big and dramatic.

01:51Yeah, but very, honestly, cinematic.

01:54I always say this for all my albums.

01:56Well, listen, now that she said cinematic, that means I need the visuals, girl.

01:59I'm ready.

02:00Oh, the visuals.

02:01The visuals are a little wonky.

02:02Like, I wanted, I think I've always had a focus on elegance and beauty.

02:07And I think with this project, I had a focus on being a little weird, a little surreal and wonky.

02:14Yeah.

02:14Well, we can't wait to hear it.

02:15Have so much fun with Mickey and his friends tonight.

02:17I will.
