00:00Speaking of Cry, the orchestrator herself of the best songs ever, Ms. Ella May.
00:05How are you guys?
00:06How good, how are you?
00:07Good, thank you. Happy to be here.
00:08Oh my gosh, we're so happy to have you.
00:10Oh my gosh, go ahead, Lindsay.
00:12Tell us a bit about your third studio album.
00:13Oh my gosh, it's called Do You Still Love Me?
00:16It came out maybe like two months ago now, I don't even know where we are.
00:19Probably my most vulnerable project to date.
00:22All love songs, I love to sing love songs.
00:24You sure do.
00:26You are good at it.
00:28And really just like, yeah, just stepping into womanhood, I feel like.
00:32And this is the perfect place to be, stepping into that.
00:34It's the best.
00:35How did you celebrate release night?
00:36Oh, we had a party.
00:38And yeah, we had some fun.
00:41Okay, I got kind of a fun question for you.
00:43But how are British audiences different than American ones?
00:46And do you change sets depending on the country?
00:49I definitely do change sets depending on the country.
00:52Don't change it like loads.
00:54There's definitely like a baseline set.
00:55I think that some songs perform better in Europe.
00:59Some songs perform better in U.S.
01:01I literally, yesterday came back from South Africa.
01:03So I changed my set in there because some of my songs over there perform better than like if I
01:08was performing here.
01:10The vibes are just different everywhere you go.
01:11And I think that's what's amazing about touring.
01:13It's one of my favorite things to do because you just kind of, you meet so many new people, so
01:18much new energy, so much new culture.
01:20And it's inspiring.
01:21So I can't wait to get back in the studio and write about it.
01:24Amazing.
01:24Have you been back in yet?
01:25Are you giving yourself a breather?
01:26I haven't.
01:26I literally just started tour, so I'm giving myself a breather.
01:30But I am very excited to get back in, I will say.
01:32Oh my gosh.
01:33Are you able to work on the road at all or too much?
01:35I'm, me personally, I don't like to work on the road because I like to just be comfortable and like
01:40know where I'm going and like really be focused.
01:43And I feel like when I'm on the road, there's so much stuff going on.
01:45I'm like, let me just concentrate on this.
01:47I'm like, yeah.
01:48The queen of locking in.
01:49I love that.
01:50Trying to.
01:51Love that.
01:51Well, thank you so much.
01:52I hope you have the best night ever.
01:54Look at you.
01:55Just got off the plane from South Africa.
01:56Look incredible.
01:57You're killing it.
01:58You're killing it, girl.
