00:00It was like a really boutique strip club so like one pole it would always like

00:04inspire me to like get up and go and get what I want. I don't know I'm not good

00:08at explaining it that's why I write songs.

00:10Hey baby, now I know you've been talking for too long but there's some things I feel like you just don't know about.

00:20It's hard to just like say it all into one sentence almost it's like I said I'm

00:24always writing based off my life so it's like I'm summing up my year of 19 and 20 you

00:30know into one one era but I don't know I'm just writing real stuff and stuff I'm

00:36going through and it's definitely a roller coaster and it takes you through even

00:40stuff that I dealt with as a kid and like how it all bleeds into one thing into

00:45another I just wanted to be loved I just wanted a damn hug

00:52I think on this project I have some of my dream features the people that I just

00:56really love and respect and listen to a lot but somebody specifically that has

01:00just always been my dream feature it's a little baby and he's on this project and

01:04his music has really gotten me through a lot and I just remember like listening to

01:10him when I was like 16 and 17 just really really going through it and I would

01:13always put it on when I was like really just fucking not feeling good and it would

01:19always like inspire me to like get the fuck up and and go and get what I want

01:24and so he's been a very just big part of my like growing up years musically so

01:29that's something that I'm really excited and like grateful to have him on this

01:33project

01:38okay so touch me like a gangster was actually the first song I made of this

01:43next era and album it kind of like started it I remember I think I was

01:46listening to the song stand by me I think it's by Ben King maybe and so

01:50sonically I kind of was like in that world and then I made that song I don't

01:57know and I'm always writing like based off of my life so I just came into the

02:00studio really inspired and and I made that song and then I played it for my team

02:06and we hotboxed the car and listen to it and it was just such a special moment

02:09all in the same day so I made the song probably like four or five hours and then I

02:20left the studio we got in the car and I played it and that's when we hotbox the

02:25car well I had three of my favorite collaborators that I make most of

02:28everything with and so we were all just in there I think I had I had SpaghettiOs

02:34while I was making this song you know what it always depends but that day I was

02:38just craving SpaghettiOs so I got a can and I just heated them up in the

02:41microwave and then other days it's like Fruit Loops and in milk and then some

02:46days it's boiled peanuts and some days it's sushi I think the biggest thing for

02:50me is that I need to feel comfortable because it's like obviously such a

02:52vulnerable thing and I was comfortable it's always great for me especially

02:57with like I said my core group of people that I work with I'm so comfortable

03:00with them and they know me so well so most of the time I just go in the studio and

03:04they hand me a mic and they'll just be playing chords and I'll just kind of like

03:07seeing whatever's on my heart that day and and then we dissect it later and

03:11kind of arrange it and write it and do all the music stuff but it always happens

03:16like in the same day with everybody in the room doing their own little thing

03:20blue strips is really fun you know and I think that that's a side of myself that I

03:30have been reluctant to follow because sometimes I I used to worry that people

03:35wouldn't take me seriously if I had fun and I think some people don't but but I

03:40have no regrets it was so fun to make and it's been such a fun experience and

03:44it's caused a lot of conversation so I'm excited for the rest of these songs to

03:50come out and see how people perceive them because I feel like my main thing

03:55with music is I just want to make people feel something whether that's whether

03:59they hate it or love it I just want to make them feel something

04:01we went to a strip club for the first time for I did with sexy red and that was

04:13really cool such a great experience we filmed it in Nashville we did some

04:17fireworks I don't know 10 out of 10 I mean it's magical it was everything I could

04:23have asked for more it was like a really boutique strip clubs like one pole but it

04:28was beautiful such a great experience and I went to another strip club after

04:33and it was also cool I think we went through like like four different titles

04:39we were really debating and the reason I went with that one is because there's

04:43actually a song on the album called sex hysteria and I feel like it explains

04:47everything really well and it gives everything reason and I think people

04:52hear that title and actually assume that it's all about sex and it's really not

04:56it's so far from it but that song really explains everything

05:00so hysteria was like the key word I think that was always like in the running for

05:11title and that's because like in the old days they used to use hysteria as a term

05:17to describe women that were experiencing like intense emotions whether that be

05:21like anxiety or depression or you know just like any extreme emotion I think and

05:27they would send them to mental asylums and to solve hysteria in some of these

05:33mental asylums and like prisons and stuff in the old days they used to use the

05:36shade of pink that we call shrinking violet to calm aggression so that's a big

05:42part of the album I hope that they just listen and they can take it and turn it

05:53into something that they relate to for their own lives I never want people to be

05:57thinking about me I think when they're listening to the songs I just want them

06:02to think about I don't know like music is to help you heal and shit and help you

06:06feel less alone so I think I just hope that they listen and feel seen or heard in some sense
