00:00Welcome back. How are you? Good. How was your performance? I had fun. Yeah? We had a ball. Nice. It was a lot of fun, yeah. Nice. And we love having you here. Thank you for having me. Cool. So, you know, I know the whole night you've been talking about, you know, the music, but I want to have a little fun. Okay. So, I'm going to do three things we didn't know about you. Okay. You ready? Mm-hmm. Fun. No, no, nothing too deep. Fun. What's the last album you bought? Oh, oh, Robin Dick's Paula. Yeah? Yeah, I just automatically bought Robin Dick's Paula. Yeah? Yeah, I just automatically bought Robin Dick's Paula.
00:29I like albums because he does good albums. You know, like, whether you like the singles or not, I like the albums. He does great music, cohesive music pieces. I feel like the heartbreak is kind of giving us really good music right now. It's the worst thing ever as an artist. Everyone's like, yeah, sing those sad songs. And you're like, I don't want to sing these sad songs, you know. It's worse for me when I sang thank you. I was just like, damn it. I'm going to sing this for four years. Are you serious? You know, but I'm not even there anymore. I don't even hate him. I'm moved on. I've got a new boot. It's the whole thing.
00:58So, like, it's a hard one. But I think he makes great music, the sound of music, and, you know, just his whole, all his themes always fit together so well. So, I automatically always download Robin Dick's. So, Paula.
01:11Love it. Yeah.
01:11You're performing. You perform a lot.
01:13You have a ritual, a tradition that you do every time, you know, before a performance. Is there something you do that you can share?
01:34Yeah. I always pray. I am a Nazi about praying, if that ever makes sense, being in the same sentence. I am very clear about the fact that I'm here by grace and by favor, not by anything else. So, you know, I always invite God to the stage with me. And, you know, people look at me like, but you curse all day. I'm like, he knows who he made. You know. I try my best, but he knows who he made, you know. And I pray. That gets me centered. That gets us remembering why we're here and the reasons that we're here, you know. So, yeah. Yeah.
02:02Do you have anything that you do, you have to do when you get to New Orleans for this festival?
02:07Every time I come, and it's not necessarily for the festivals, I go to Acme, and I pull my headscarf, and I sunglasses it out, and just go be regular and get the child broad oysters. Oh, my goodness.
02:32Hey, it happens in NOLA, stays in NOLA. So, what's the craziest thing you've done here?
02:40Oh, I remember one of the first times I performed in New Orleans. And this is terrible. Don't do this if you come here in the future, young artists. Don't do this.
02:49They have, like, a drive-thru drinks place. They have a drive-thru drinks place. Don't do it.
02:58Right, and we had driven through there halfway through the day for my performance, and they gave me, like, a slushie that was that big.
03:05I'm not lying. The thing was that big. And so, I had, like, drank half of it before I went on stage.
03:09And I had, like, a two-show spot. Drank half of it before I went on stage. So, I think I was drunk the whole show.
03:16And then I got off, and I drank the rest. And then I went back on, and no one could tell.
03:20But I got on the phone, and I called my homegirl, and I was like, it's a girl.
03:23And she was like, no! We just started laughing. It was the whole thing. It was crazy. That was the worst thing.
