00:00Hello beauty! How are you? Essence Live! I have Ms. Gabrielle Dennis with us. How are you?
00:10I am awesome. How are you beautiful? Oh, thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you so much.
00:15We're having a great time. Tons of stuff happening all around. Is this your first Essence Festival?
00:20My first participating, but I've been here. I was here several years back. Alicia Keys performed,
00:25Girl on Fire, Something Amazing, and a lot of people performed. I think, I don't know, it's good. It was good.
00:33It was good. I've been drinking. It was good. Who have you had a chance to see this bar tonight?
00:38Just Feebo's men so far and, of course, Kenny Babyface Edmonds because he has a baby face, okay?
00:43The man has not aged. I want to know what moisturizer he's using. I need that moisturizer.
00:49He's part of the vampire crew. I tease and tell Morris he's a vampire. It's like, you don't age?
00:54Kenny Babyface is also one of those people.
00:56I think Pharrell leads the vampires. Yes. Yes, for sure. For sure.
01:01So, what else have you had a chance to see and do while you're here in Noli? I know you're on a lot of press.
01:06Yes, a lot of that. We had really a good time earlier today at the Fan Zone.
01:11Morris calls complete pandemonium when he walks in. The ladies go crazy.
01:16But a lot of fun and a lot of good food. Like, I'm a foodie and I really love to eat and, yes, I had some good food today.
01:24Really good food today and last night and I'm going to continue. It won't stop.
01:27And who else are you looking forward to seeing while you're here?
01:29New Edition tonight. I'm really excited about it. You know what I'm saying? Just want to bust out some moves.
01:34Everybody wants to bust moves with New Edition. Brashear Gray was on earlier and he was like, boom.
01:39But he knows all the choreography. We can take them. Okay. I'm issuing a challenge. We can take them.
01:46Boom. Drops mic. Drops purse. Oops, my mama said don't put your purse on the floor.
01:50Don't put your purse on the floor. That's bad luck. Don't do that.
01:53And share with our Essence Live family where they can find you.
01:56All right. Well, we're going to start filming season two of our show, Rosewood.
02:00It'll air September 22nd on its new night on Thursday nights on Fox.
02:04And we're very excited. You're going to see a lot of good stuff. I'll get to sing this season.
02:08I quit my job at the lab with my brother and now I'm going to work.
02:11And you're going to see me in the studio and living my life as a singer for a while.
02:15So that should be interesting. Now, is singing another passion for you?
02:18Yes. I actually went to performing arts high school. So I kind of did everything.
02:21I was a triple threat. And I used to be in singing groups.
02:24I was in Elise Neal's singing group ages ago. So I kind of did that a little bit back in the day.
02:29But, you know, acting kind of took over and then God planted this role in my lap.
02:33And I get to kind of do a little bit of both. So it's fun.
02:36Now that you're around all of this music and creativity, are you itching to do a solo album?
02:40I mean, you know, we might have to break it down, break it down, break it down.
02:45Thank you so very much. Enjoy the rest of the show.
02:48Thank you so much. All right, have a good night. Have a good night.
