00:00We got some guests with us here.
00:07Look, this is Essence Festival of Culture
00:10presented by Coca-Cola.
00:12I'm Rhapsody.
00:13We're here with three-fifths of Infinity Song.
00:15I'm Bray.
00:17Mehta.
00:18We are the ladies of rock.
00:19We look like we about to set it off, though.
00:21Hey.
00:22And yo, like, just to get it kicked off.
00:24It's like if you had an opportunity to pay tribute to
00:27Biggest Influence, who would that be?
00:28Like, I'm going to kick it to you.
00:29I'm going to say Brandy.
00:31Brandy.
00:32Ah, that's a voice.
00:35You are from New Orleans.
00:37Like, how did that community shape you, inspire you?
00:41Personally, for me, growing up in New Orleans,
00:44I was raised with a lot of culture.
00:48And there's also a lot of things that people don't know
00:52about New Orleans as far as, like, the pain that we go through.
00:56It's just a lot be going on in the city.
00:58Right.
00:59So, but we celebrate a lot, too.
01:02So I feel like that balance of, like, having joy,
01:07having joyous moments through the pain helps me feel love,
01:12and I put that into my music.
01:14The beautiful thing about music is, you know,
01:16when people have a balance of pain and joy,
01:18and I'm ready to see how you incorporated that part of New Orleans in your music.
01:22So you ready to rock for us?
01:24All right.
01:25Ladies, y'all ready for this?
01:26We're ready.
01:27All right.
01:28You get it.
01:29Do that, sis.
01:30Thank you guys.
03:30Last time I was there, you was in Houston, though.
03:34We keep playing tag, but I can't get to you.
03:39I'm in my city.
03:43It's time to miss me.
03:46I'm in my city.
03:54I'm in my city.
03:56Tonight, I need a repeat.

13:33I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone.
13:36I don't want to wait, wait, baby.
13:41You're all I want to intake, yeah.
13:47Press, take, take.
13:52Hey, I might take you all the way.
13:58Listen when I say, give you one more reason to stay.
14:06Oh, no, no, no, no.
14:10Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, baby.
14:15I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone.
14:20I don't want to wait, wait, baby.
14:25You're all I want to intake, yeah.
14:32Oh, no, no, no, no, no, baby.
14:33Oh, no, no, no, no, no, baby.
14:37Oh, no, no, no, no, no, baby.
14:41No, no, no, no, no, no, no, baby.
14:50No, no, no, no, no, no, baby, baby.
14:55You're all I want to intake, yeah.
15:00Can you tell me like a pivotal moment
15:17or like a moment that kind of just changed you
15:20or turned your head on a circle
15:22that really inspired you, advice, whatever that was.
15:26Like, you know, you can answer as one individually.
15:28Yeah, I would actually say a moment that changed our lives
15:34was when we sang for Jay-Z at Roc Nation five years ago.
15:40And that was 10 years after singing
15:44almost every day in Central Park.
15:47And then, you know, Jay signed us
15:51after we sang for him and the whole staff.
15:53But we still ended up going to sing back in Central Park
15:58even though we were signed.
15:59But it was that, it was the beginning of something new.
16:03Right.
16:03And since then, you know,
16:05it's just been unfolding ever since
16:08of this new dimension and space where our talent exists.
16:12I would say, I think always meeting these influential people
16:18and these icons,
16:19it's always something to be proud of and to be grateful for.
16:22But I think the biggest moments that have changed us for real
16:26is when we come together internally
16:28and decide in that moment, like, to be unified.
16:32Because, you know, a lot of times it's easy to have your own life
16:35and to have your own vision
16:36and to, you know, just get de-centered.
16:40Right.
16:40But when we intentionally decide, you know,
16:43to get back on track,
16:44I feel like those are always the most pivotal
16:46and powerful moments
16:47because there's only so much other people can do for you
16:50if you're not, you know, together as one.
16:53Okay.
16:54So, yeah.
16:54And I would say kind of both of those kind of combined
16:58would be my answer is
16:59people underestimate how much your internal world
17:02affects your external world.
17:05And for me, there's no denying that, like,
17:07the internal world is the most important
17:10and it affects everything that we put out
17:13or, like, that we do
17:14and the experiences in our daily life.
17:16So, a pivotal moment in that
17:18is just, like, over this last year
17:20and just having the time to sit and be quiet
17:22and think just so much personal growth
17:25and all of us that makes being a group possible.
17:28Yeah.
17:28So, yeah, that's super.
17:31Can't do without that.
17:32Let's get it.
17:33Let's get into this love
17:34that the family unit of Infinity Song
17:36is about to bring.
17:37Y'all ready?
