00:00Hi guys, it's Mimi Webb and welcome to my mind massage.

00:16I'm going to take you on a sound journey using some of my favourite things.

00:28So we're going to look into my bag and see what's inside.

00:45So we're going to begin with my favourite lip dew glossy oil.

01:02I love how it opens, it's pretty cute.

01:04Honestly, I wish you guys could smell this, it literally smells incredible.

01:21So it's my favourite day to day lip oil and I also wear it when I just literally have

01:28like no makeup on because it just, it just glows really lovely.

01:32So that's my first product.

01:39Also got my keys.

01:50Yeah, I actually do that a lot day to day because it's quite a key sound.

01:54So yeah, got my cute Singapore Pure Love key chain on here with my car keys.

02:07And my key to my house, you can't have that.

02:16I always make sure I have a hairbrush in my bag because

02:20this girl's hair gets really knotted very fast.

02:24It's quite a nice sound.

02:41There's a lot of hair in it, I need to sort that out.

02:43But yeah, that's how it sounds.

02:49I always have to make sure I have some sort of necklace in my bag or something like accessories

02:54in case I need to jazz up an outfit.

03:07This is one of my favourite necklaces.

03:12So yeah, I have to always have something in my bag in case I should probably be wearing

03:15it right now.

03:16But yeah, I forgot about it so I'll put it on later.

03:20But this is it, it sounds really nice.

03:25What else have we got in my bag?

03:27We've got my phone.

03:29And I like to, I do this a lot actually when I'm bored but I'll just start doing this on

03:33the phone.

03:40And I annoy so many people when I do it because I just don't stop doing it.

03:46So that's me whenever I'm in an airport waiting to get on the plane.

03:51That's my phone.

03:53What else have we got?

03:56Oh, we've got some money.

03:59I never ever have cashmere in America.

04:02You need it.

04:11So nice.

04:16I think what else do I have?

04:19Another lipgloss.

04:21Constantly having lipgloss in my bag.

04:23This is actually a really good sound.

04:30Perfect, exactly what we wanted.

04:33And that is my favourite Dior lipstick, lipgloss.

04:39That is what's in my bag.

04:41So I grew up in a place called Canterbury in Kent.

04:45And I, that was like my place me and my friends would go every day.

04:52Like after school we'd just go into town and go to McDonald's and meet everyone from our

04:59other schools.

05:02I loved it there so much.

05:05But yeah, it was just such a lovely childhood growing up there.

05:08We also used to go to a place called Winsterpool and eat fish and chips on the beach and go

05:14and like have barbecues on the beach every night.

05:18And then we'd all go back to my parents' place for like a party.

05:22So we had the best times.

05:23We were like 16.

05:25This was when it like we really started doing our summer kind of every day.

05:29Like there was like 20 of us in Winsterpool.

05:32Yeah, big, big annual vibes.

05:36And yeah, I feel like it's kept me so, I think being able to have your friends and family

05:42around you growing up and in general, it's just so amazing to still have them around

05:48and it keeps you really grounded.

05:50So I'm so grateful to have grown up in where we did and have the friends that I have.

05:59But I think it just really made me more like eager to become an artist because I didn't

06:06want to be stuck in Canterbury forever.

06:09So I had to make sure I could, you know, fly the nest.

06:13And I think everyone was so, we were all so inspired to one day move to a big city.

06:20So it was really, it really pushed me to work as hard as I could.

06:26I started making music, gosh, since I was probably like 12 where I'd like write things

06:33down in my little diary.

06:35And I always just had like little ideas.

06:39I didn't even think were ideas.

06:40It was just my feelings and emotions.

06:43And I've kept my diaries forever.

06:45I have like six of them from growing up.

06:48My mum has them, my mum and dad at home.

06:51And it's so cool to kind of see how I was always really emotional, like writing things

06:57down was always an emotional outlet for me.

07:00Um, so yeah, I think that was, that was just like part of, part of who I was.

07:08And then I think when I got to like 16, that's when I could really focus on how to write

07:13a song and structure it.

07:18My new single Mistake is a very different song to the rest of the songs I've released.

07:25It was crazy because I kind of, I was going into my new era of where I wanted to see myself

07:32going.

07:32And I got in the studio end of last year in LA and I just couldn't believe I was like

07:38really getting, you know, coming to LA and really enjoying the writing process.

07:43And Mistake came along the first day I wrote it with Ryan Tedder, which was so cool.

07:50And, um, I just couldn't believe like the song was so different, but it felt so right.

07:56Um, so yeah, it's a little bit more heavy, a bit of a D&B, jungle beat inspiration there,

08:01but I love it so much.

08:03And it was so cool to step into a whole new era and a whole new like meme web, which I

08:10never thought really existed.

08:13And the creative idea behind it, I wanted to recreate a look that I'd done from a few

08:18years ago.

08:19I feel like it was a little bit more darker, a bit grungier, but like in a cool, cool way.

08:26And I wanted to bring that, that feeling into it and becoming like, I feel like I'm becoming

08:32a woman now.

08:33So I wanted to really feel confident and I wanted that to come across in, in all the

08:38creative aspects that we were doing.

08:40So it was so fun to really dive into that and just start the new, the new era and the

08:45new chapter off to a, to a, to a big, big start.

09:03So I'm going to make myself a little drink, um, with some ice.

09:08I'm just going to go for like four ice cubes because I don't want too much.

09:25Stunning.

09:30We are, I feel like now summer's coming like, oh wait, let me show you this.

09:38Wow.

09:44I feel like summer's coming now.

09:46So I always need to have like an ice cold drink and I don't really normally drink fizzy

09:51drinks, but this one's allowed.

09:55Just lots of different things going on in there.

10:14I'm a summer baby, so my birthday's in July.

10:18So I feel like the sun is part of me as a Leo as well.

10:23So this just makes me feel like I'm in central pay right now.

10:31Oh, lovely.

10:35I think everyone's going to want to get some fizzy drinks down them now.

10:42Sometimes I'm that like really strange drinker that seems really loud.

10:47I just actually, I actually really enjoy doing it.

10:50I'm so excited for this summer and the festivals we're going to do because I feel like now

10:57I'm slipping into this new era and this new chapter.

11:01It just feels so much better and cooler and bigger than ever.

11:05And I think the shows are just going to feel so much stronger.

11:09So I'm so excited and to be able to come to America and do festivals as well this year

11:15is crazy to me because I'm like a little pop girl, British pop girl.

11:21It's quite crazy that I'm coming over here to do that.

11:24I can't wait.

11:25Touring with Benson Boone has been so great so far.

11:29We have had so much fun.

11:32All the team are amazing.

11:34Benson's so great and the fans have been amazing.

11:38And I've been so grateful to have such an amazing response from them all.

11:42Um, I've loved seeing different cities and states and getting to know how America works

11:51even more.

11:51So it's been so cool.

11:53Um, but yeah, and I've got my mum.

11:55My mum came with me for a lot of the tours.

11:58So it was really nice to experience a lot of it with her.

12:12Okay, we've got some apples here that I'm going to begin to cut.

12:24When I was young, I would always sit and wait for my mum to cut my apples up.

12:33It's pretty tough to do.

12:34I probably haven't done this correctly.

12:36But yeah, I'm doing it as I would cut an onion, which really doesn't work.

12:42So we're going to just get in there.

12:47I've definitely done this wrong.

12:48But you know, it still looks pretty.

12:52And we're going to go in the middle.

12:57Perfect.

12:59I've definitely done this wrong.

13:00But yeah, sorry whoever needs to eat this after.

13:05Um, we're just going to go down there.

13:08Oh, that's not too bad that part.

13:12Little cute sound.

13:19Um, yeah, and I would always wait for her to cut my apples up.

13:23And then me and my brother would argue about who's getting the first apple.

13:26But he's not here this time.

13:31And I mean, I definitely have cut this up like an onion.

13:35But I haven't actually done this for a long time with an apple.

13:42Um, I'm just going to cut a little bit for me to eat.

13:54Oh, if I could eat one food for the rest of my life,

13:58it would probably be pasta, spaghetti bolognese.

14:01All my friends know that I am amazing at cooking spag bol, which we call it in the UK.

14:07Um, and it's actually a really good apple.

14:14Yeah, that would be my go-to meal.

14:16I love pasta.

14:17I think I'm like, I'm like meant to be living in Italy, if I'm honest.

14:27If I was stranded on an island on my own,

14:31brother, I would definitely bring my guitar, my dog.

14:46And what else would I bring?

14:52Come on, Amelia.

14:54Um, probably a bottle of rose.

15:06I'm really excited for my fans to see this new chapter that we're stepping into now,

15:11and the whole creative idea behind it.

15:14And just everything with the new music and how it's sounding.

15:18I think everyone's going to be so excited and kind of surprised,

15:22but in a really good way with how it's sounding.

15:26And yeah, I'm just super excited to grow with my fans and for them to grow with me.

15:32My best self-love advice would be to put the work into yourself,

15:39into the things you need to work on,

15:41and the things you need to experience and learn,

15:45and enjoy that time with yourself and being independent

15:50and having that alone time and enjoying it.

15:52I think it's the biggest challenge of them all.

15:55So yeah, get into that kind of routine and you'll be happier than ever.

16:04Thank you so much for coming to my mind massage.

16:08And please go check out my new single, Mistake, out now.

16:14Beautiful.

16:15That was great.

16:17Thank you so much.

16:20Bye.
