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.
