00:02 - Lana Del Rey, congratulations.
00:04 - Thank you, sir.
00:06 - How are you feeling?
00:07 - Like I spoke pretty long, but good, really good.
00:11 - That's a beautiful speech.
00:12 - Thank you.
00:13 - What do awards like this mean?
00:15 This particular award.
00:16 - This particular award,
00:17 so 'cause I met my managers 15 years ago,
00:20 they spoke about this award since the minute I met them.
00:25 It was like to them, it was just the crown jewel.
00:30 So when we heard that I had won one,
00:33 we were all, it was kind of a full circle moment,
00:36 especially 'cause I won one 12 years ago to the day.
00:39 So it's cool to still be here.
00:42 - You just smashed Coachella,
00:43 you just announced your first stadium show,
00:45 you played Hyde Park, Glastonbury was amazing.
00:48 Just one, just the one.
00:49 But I mean, judging by your speech,
00:51 so moments like this make you feel vindicated
00:53 against all like the naysayers you had
00:54 when you first came out?
00:55 - No, maybe like three years ago,
00:58 like there would have been a sense of vindication,
01:00 but now it just feels playful, I don't know why.
01:02 I think if you like hang in long enough,
01:05 it just ends up being easy.
01:06 Or you know, you just feel like,
01:09 no, no vindication, no nothing,
01:11 but just kind of happy to be here.
01:13 Easy going in that way.
01:15 - And you said that you spent quite a lot of time
01:17 going up and down Kingsland Road
01:19 when you first moved to London.
01:20 - Benny, my manager.
01:23 - Do you still frequent Kingsland Road?
01:24 - No, I haven't been here in at least a year.
01:27 No, but I remember like every smell,
01:31 every shop, every beauty shop.
01:33 I used to get green contact lenses,
01:36 like greener than my eyes for my interviews,
01:39 you know, to get signed.
01:40 And Ben once saw me,
01:43 and I got like these massive extensions as well.
01:45 And he physically took the little green lizard contacts.
01:50 He remembers it.
01:52 And then he stomped them.
01:53 And he was like, you look like a lizard.
01:54 Anyways, this is actually,
01:57 I'm trying to say there's amazing beauty shops
02:00 on Kingsland Road,
02:01 past the fish market, the whole thing, the buses.
02:04 I remember everything, yeah.
02:06 - And what can you tell us about Lasso
02:08 coming out later this year?
02:09 You've gone country, right?
02:10 - Oh, geez.
02:11 Well, I mean, what can I say now?
02:14 What can I say now?
02:14 I mean, when I gave Jack Antonoff his award
02:17 for best producer of the year,
02:21 and I said, you know, in case you,
02:23 I said, welcome Nashville to Hollywood,
02:25 and Hollywood welcomed Nashville,
02:27 because the music business is gone, gone country.
02:30 And it went silent.
02:31 5,000 people, dead silence.
02:34 And then the next week,
02:35 we had three major artists announce big country albums.
02:39 So where's Lasso going?
02:40 I really have no idea now.
02:43 You know what I mean?
02:44 - Yeah.
02:45 Lyrically, what's been inspiring?
02:46 Is it part of that kind of fun,
02:47 that ease you were talking about on stage?
02:49 - Yeah, I would say so.
02:50 Like maybe less to say in terms of like,
02:53 yeah, like any kind of self-revealing things,
02:57 like on "Tunnel" or "Blue Banisters" or "Chemtrails,"
03:01 and more, just more melodic.
03:03 Maybe more like American songbook style.
03:06 Yeah.
03:06 - Anything you can tell us about your plans for "Redding"?
03:08 Horses on stage?
03:10 - Ooh.
03:11 Do you wanna know something?
03:13 I actually thought about that.
03:16 I fucking did.
03:17 Yeah.
03:20 - Thank you so much.
03:20 - You're so welcome.
