00:00Oh my god, oh wow!
00:05Hi, nice to meet you!
00:06I'm obsessed with you.
00:08Thank you!
00:09I actually made a list for like my second album of like things I wanted to do and like interviews and I wrote you on it.
00:13Really?
00:14I sent it to my team, I was like, I want you to interview me.
00:16Oh my gosh!
00:17Oh wow! Thank you so much!
00:19I love it, I mean speaking of your second album, I saw your Instagram post the other day.
00:22She's trying to get her fans to help her pick the songs.
00:25So what is the vibe? Tell us, what did you decide on?
00:27Honestly, I feel like it's all over.
00:29I feel like it's sad and it's angry and it's confused.
00:31I feel like the one thing I learned throughout the whole making process was that like you can be happy at the same time that you're sad.
00:38Like not everything has to be one emotion.
00:40I'm actually wearing my second song for the tracklist on my sleeve.
00:43That's if karma doesn't get you, I will.
00:46I like that title! I like that title!
00:49I'm like, I don't actually feel that way, I just wrote it.
00:54But it's the persona that like when you're going through emotions, sometimes you need that, you know what I mean?
00:58I also feel like it's not, emotions are normal.
01:01I think it's about how you handle them and like deflect them onto other people.
01:04I think it's like appropriate to feel like you really want to get back at someone, but to not actually act upon it, which is why I write the songs to process it.
01:12Right, okay. Well, that's totally understandable.
01:15And tonight is a very special night where we honor and celebrate women.
01:19So who are some women that you are honoring or celebrating tonight?
01:22Ooh, I'm celebrating Dochi.
01:24Yes!
01:25I like every video of her that comes up on my For You page of her younger self on YouTube.
01:30Like manifesting things, reading books.
01:33Like it's honestly inspirational to watch now as an artist and see all the things she was telling herself and doing in that moment to get to where she is today.
01:40I think she's just so inspirational.
01:41Right, yes, she is. And who doesn't love Dochi? Honestly, who doesn't?
01:45And lastly, what is Lauren manifesting since we're speaking of manifesting?
01:49Yes!
01:50I'm manifesting an album announce.
01:53Yes, the album announce is happening. It's coming. We're speaking it in the world.
01:57It's coming, yes.
01:58Sooner rather than later, because I'm waiting for it too.
02:01Alright, well Lauren, it was so good to see you. I love catching up with you.
02:04You guys too.
02:05It's so good to see you.
02:06And it's really nice to meet you. And thank you so much for the compliment. Oh my gosh.
02:09I'm obsessed with you.
02:10Oh my gosh, thank you.
