00:00We have Leve! Come on down, Leve! Hello!
00:03Hi! Oh my gosh, you look incredible.
00:05Oh my god, you too!
00:06We've got our innovator here with us.
00:08Yes!
00:09Okay, so go ahead, Lindsay.
00:10What does that word mean to you, to be an innovator?
00:12I mean, I guess it means to push through and do something new and create something.
00:19I definitely feel like, and every musician has to be an innovator nowadays to cut through,
00:24so I'm very honored to be honored as, especially as an innovator, yeah.
00:32Absolutely.
00:32Okay, so how has life been since releasing your deluxe album, A Matter of Time, The Final Hour?
00:38It's been very busy.
00:39I feel like I haven't had a day off, but I actually, I went to Disneyland for my birthday,
00:45so that was my day off.
00:46Oh my gosh, how fun? Did you have a lot of fun?
00:48I had so much fun, but it was as tiring as Coachella.
00:51Like, I played Coachella a couple of the two weekends before, and that was also just like,
00:56every day was like a drill.
00:58You were exerting the same amount of energy.
01:00Exact same amount of energy.
01:01I came back from Disneyland, and I was like, I feel like I went back to Coachella.
01:05It's like a little bit of a drive, a lot of walking, like a lot of sweating, like,
01:09but my Coachella outfits worked for Disneyland, so I was like, I had to put in a car.
01:12Wow, look at you!
01:15I need to ask you while you're here about this Madwoman music video,
01:18because what a lineup of people.
01:19Will you explain how that idea came to you, and how you kind of got these celebs all together?
01:25Yeah, well, I sometimes get mixed up with other women who are like, of the same kind of mix as
01:31me,
01:32so I will literally like, get tagged in red carpet photos of them, and I think it's kind of funny,
01:39and I also, so I thought that it would be fun to just like, put as many of us in
01:45a music video together,
01:45and I reached out to a lot of people, and it was like a scheduling kind of fiasco,
01:51but so whoever was available, I was like, come on.
01:53And who you had, well, quite the lineup.
01:56I couldn't believe it.
01:57I kept looking over the set and being like, oh my god.
02:00It's just like, it's like watching, like, Wizards of a Really Place,
02:05Sweet Life on Deck.
02:05Oh my gosh, Sweet Life on Deck.
02:06It was like all of those, it was like the mashup, yeah, but it was so special,
02:10and I feel like growing up, I really, like, I grew up in Iceland,
02:13where like, everyone has blonde hair and blue eyes,
02:15and I like, didn't see anyone that looked like me on screen ever,
02:19so it fed my heart, but it's something I'm always going to do.
02:23Like, it isn't like a one-time thing.
02:25No, absolutely.
02:26But it turned my heart really happy.
02:28Very cool.
02:28Yeah, I think it was very exciting for all of us to see,
02:30and now I'm like, are we going to see you on Summer Return Pretty or Heated Rivalry in return?
02:34Right.
02:35Call in that favor, girl.
02:36You should.
02:37If they'll have me, it'll be like a Madwoman music video.
02:40I think they have to take the whole Madwoman cast, though, to be able to do that.
02:44Yeah, they got to take all of you.
02:45You're a package deal.
02:46We're a package deal.
02:46Yeah, absolutely.
02:47Last kind of fun fan mail question.
02:50If you could collab with any woman in music right now that you haven't already,
02:53who would you want to collab with?
02:56Oh, my God.
02:57There's so many incredible women.
02:59I feel like I'd love to sing with Lana Del Rey.
03:02Oh, my God.
03:03Yes.
03:03I got chills.
03:04I just think she really makes the most beautiful, kind of romantic, but dark music,
03:12and I feel like that's like, I would love to sing with her.
03:15Yeah, you suit that really well, I think.
03:17Yeah, now we need it.
03:18Yeah, absolutely.
03:19I'm like, I'll manifest it for you.
03:21We'll do it here live.
03:22Thank you so much for your time.
03:24You're amazing.
03:24Congratulations.
03:26On your big night.
03:26Oh, my gosh.
03:28Get in there, girl.
03:28They're waiting for you.
