00:00It is such an honor to be standing here. We're great. How are you doing? You look amazing, both of you. And it's not too hot, thank gosh. It's not too bad. You know what I mean? Yeah. That's right. So Just Kiki is about to come out. Yes! Can you speak to that for us, girl? We are excited.
00:18When the 20th album comes out, there's a visual component. It's truly my story. I'm very excited to share with you guys. I've been working on it for a while. Shout out to my girl, Taylor Parks, who executive produced the project. But I feel like I've gotten deeper with my relationship with myself, and so it's only going to impact the music and all my work, really.
00:34So can you speak to the visual part of it, like a visual album?
00:37Yeah, it's a visual album. So it's pretty much, without spoiling too much, it's kind of, you meet, how do I say this? I'm giving too much. Yeah.
00:46Pretty much you get invited into Kiki's world, but Kiki, the product, the product that we've all known as the entertainer, the performer. But then something happens, and you realize that there's much more than what meets the eye.
00:56Absolutely. Ooh, I cannot wait for that, girl. I'm excited. I'm ready for the 20th right now.
01:01Okay.
01:02Mariah Carey is being honored tonight. What is your favorite Mariah Carey song of all time?
01:05You'll always be my baby.
01:09You better sing.
01:13106 and Park is also being honored. 25 years. What was that like for you watching 106 and Park, and now being able to be here and watch that on stage?
01:22Everything. 106 and Park was the show. AJ and Free, there will never be another like them. I mean, they just were our, I feel like they're part of our family.
01:29I remember coming home, just turning it on, getting into what's new.
01:33Honestly, there'll never be another show like it.
01:35Yes, I agree. Kiki, you're amazing. You are an inspiration of mine.
01:39Being a woman in a male-led space as a host, to see your career and your trajectory and everything that you have, I can't wait to see what you do next.
01:46That means you're an ultimate. Truly, truly.
01:47Take care.
01:48You as well. Have so much fun.
01:49Thank you, both.
