You seem to be the kind of person that does everything.

Like the way that you sort of like, that you're a singer, an artist, and everything, and then you just go and act.

which is kind of like the contrast is actually quite nice
50
i guess it's like the same i go back from l .a to seoul a lot too
51
so i know what
52
that feels like do you remember like we met super randomly
53
very randomly it was in a bar in seoul in korea

like an underground restaurant kind of bar i don't know what
55
it was called it was quite late at night how did
56
that night happen i was with my friend well our friend
57
peter peter who was working for celine at the time i mean i think i was drunk at
58
that point anyway
59
so i'm sure both yeah well yeah you weren't working in
60
korea i remember i was yeah i was just there for
61
a few days i was actually djing at like a celine
62
event for peter yeah i'm really excited to hear the story from your side
63
because like obviously i know how the whole like dracula remix
64
thing came together i was always wanting to do something like
65
that for dracula and like i was talking to peter my friend
66
and i was like i i really love jenny's voice you know it was kind of really super random
67
and of course peter was like oh i know her you know
68
and i think i got the text like right away after you guys's conversation
69
and as soon as i read the text i said i'm
70
like i i have to be on it yeah yeah i like i have to jump on it immediately
71
so the rest was really it was really easy for us even
72
when we were recording over zoom yeah yeah we couldn't be in the same city
73
which I was so sad about
74
but yeah you you stayed through all the recording sessions
75
that I was doing for like hours that's true so yeah
76
that meant a lot for me yeah I mean I was
77
so sort of like um like excited and like you know I was
78
so like anxious to like get it you know I was
79
like oh she's gonna be there you know people's like oh I can message her right now
80
if you want
81
and I was like oh shit you know I was like
82
I was like oh hang on slow down you know I'm not ready anyway Anyway, when it was happening, I was like, holy shit, it's happening.
83
Weirdly, I was in China, like I've never been to China before.
84
I was there for a few days
85
and I was like raced back to the hotel room to open my laptop to like connect with you, like you were there in the studio.
86
Yeah, I remember that.
87
I was really struck by like how much you just, how like you just nailed each tape.
88
We had a bunch to get through because Dracula has, as you know, so many tracks.
89
Yeah, a lot of tracks, a lot of tracks.
90
The chorus has like eight vocals in it at once yeah
91
and you just went through them bang bang bang i actually had so much fun
92
I'm cutting it too because it was definitely different from any other music that I was putting out.
93
So it gave me a new excitement and this just has so much fun with it.
94
It's a pretty fun track.
95
In a way it's different to any song I've done before too.
96
Where it's just like, it's a weird song, you know?
97
It's just a weird song.
98
When I first found out about how the song started doing so well in love, Even by my closest friend, they would all give me a text saying the song is amazing.
99
I don't know, for me, being the artist of the song, I can never really fully understand how it started. For sure.
100
I mean, it's Kevin's song.
101
I knew he was going to do it.
102
That's all I can say.
103
Well, I mean, no, it's true, though.
104
Like, you never know.
105
You never know what's going to happen.
106
I mean, like, I take a little bit of credit for, like, for having the vision.
107
But no cuz like you know I like obviously Dracula like
108
it was released first It was like doing really well It was like it started to chart
109
or whatever people are into it
110
And I don't know like I just had the feeling that
111
if you were gonna get on it and like with your voice doing that with mine It was just good guys.
112
Hey, it came alive.
113
Well, you know, I was just sort of like I reckon that's gonna Take it to the next level.
114
And it did and I'm so happy.
115
I'm so happy about that.
116
Do you hear it out in public much? so much yes
117
so much and also um when i was in europe for some some of the festivals
118
that i was doing i performed dracula live first time without you sadly
119
and the crowd was going crazy for it it made me
120
so happy and i couldn't wait to do it live with you okay you know
121
because that because I knew it was going to be special question was it challenging to sing
122
because like for me Dracula is one of the hardest songs
123
to sing in the set for us I'm like it has
124
to be sort of like in a part of the set where my voice is like warmed up
125
because it's it definitely is
126
but the hardest part was probably singing your part on top
127
of mine oh okay sure the whole thing by myself yes I just enjoy it so much
128
that it never occurs to me as like something difficult that's true well me too I've always listened
129
and studied your music and i can't explain what attracted me to it because for me
130
it's a uh it's an energy thing if that makes sense i always find with like with my music um
131
it can be quite dense and quite sort of chaotic
132
so i think like a lot of people it takes a
133
while to get into it like it's it's sort of like
134
it's it um it's quite a lot to take in at once
135
and people it's like slowly grows on people i've found
136
and also i love how your music takes me to a different atmosphere
137
or a mood and and you know i'm drawn to feelings like
138
that so it was inevitable for me to not have been your band to pop up on your show today
139
And to watch your show.
140
I think you're going to enjoy it.
141
It's pretty, um, it can be pretty, pretty crazy.
142
I like to make sure that it's like euphoric in the right places.
143
You know, like we have moments of just like sheer chaos where it's like confetti and laces and like, you know, like we've got all the, like, we've got all the sort of like tricks.
144
We've got all the things
145
and there's some moments in the set we just like put all the buttons on and it's kind of just crazy, you know, and the fans are going crazy.
146
I feel like every tour that I do, we, like, we sort of, like, find ways to, like,
147
just make the kids go even crazier, you know?
148
As a performer, what's a great show for you?
149
Like, if you walk off stage and, like, that was the best show ever, what is that to you?
150
Like, is it the crowd?
151
Do you care about, like, how you performed?
152
What's the most important thing for you?
153
It's got to be at least, like, three things that the combination just felt right i guess the crowd
154
and being able to share
155
that much energy with the crowd myself is something that's important for sure
156
because at the end of the day i feel like before you go on there's all these anxiety
157
that comes to you regarding what i'm wearing like how i look
158
or what the weather is
159
and then once you get on there absolutely the rest just don't really matter it's about the connection
160
that you have exactly yeah i feel exactly the same way
161
it's like before you walk on you like you you have this idea
162
that everyone's going to be judging you and you get up
163
and you realize that like they want to see you they're there for us you know
164
and it's just a bunch of humans in a big arena or stadium
165
or whatever what's it like playing solo shows compared to like with the girls black pink the main difference
166
that i've noticed is actually it's the pre -production part of
167
it you know yeah obviously being in a band needs a lot of
168
communication between each other and to combine everything
169
and to turn it into one is a completely different thing
170
from me being able to just take care of everything you know my my side yeah
171
that has really changed a lot for me that's what it
172
feels the most different did it feel good to finally sort
173
of like be able to control your own to have your own sort of like stage like like figuratively
174
and literally that you can like i realize how much i enjoy like jumping a room from
175
like each room making sure everything's aligned all of
176
that i i think i really enjoy
177
that part of the process you seem to be the kind of person
178
that does everything um i've learned like you act you say
179
oh i dabble you know i don't know i don't act i i am completely blown away by anyone
180
that can act especially if they weren't an actor to begin with you know like the way
181
that you sort of like that you're you're you're seeing out an artist everything
182
and then you just go
183
and act i'm like that's not fair you're not supposed to be able to just do
184
that i guess i enjoy being the performative and
185
and the other side too at the same time still figuring
186
it out for sure yeah oh we all are yeah no
187
one knows what they're doing exactly do you just enjoy all
188
those doing all those individual things like directing film clips
189
and you know
190
or is it like a control thing do you like to just be a little bit of both yeah
191
but especially after my first album ruby that came out last year i've learned
192
so much um just about this whole basically about music
193
and i've been in using my whole life
194
so i told myself it's only fair for me to really go for everything
195
that you feel like doing
196
and then kind of just realizing from there what i really enjoy
197
and maybe good at compared to something
198
that i just had to do yes for the sake of it
199
so yeah like i'm at a point where i'm really just challenging myself yeah
200
and like i think that that's like the best place to be in making music
201
and art anything like that it's like when when
202
when you are like discovering it for the first time whether it's like a new genre
203
or whatever like
204
that feeling of like you don't fully know what you're doing
205
i think that's kind of the most exciting thing like
206
that that's when that's when artists are their best
207
when they're like just out of their depth you know like i i make sure
208
that i'm always like just out of my depth every time
209
i make an album i'm like what am i doing you know working with rihanna how did
210
that how did that happen the rihanna thing was kind It was kind of crazy.
211
We just got a call from her producer or A &R
212
or a manager or someone or an email saying
213
that she was finishing up her album and she just wanted to put one more song on and she wanted my song.
214
And I thought she was going to like rework it, sort of like do like a sort of remix kind of thing
215
or just sort of like a rewrite
216
and it was like the middle of the night because I was in Perth where it was like, you know, and they were like the album needs to be done like tomorrow
217
so can you get stems right now i was in bed
218
i got out of bed went to my studio like turned
219
all the lights it was like one o 'clock in the morning printed out all the stems
220
and sent them over and then like didn't hear anything back
221
until the song came out it was
222
so surreal just to hear rihanna who who i love you
223
know it's rihanna hero um basically just singing my song you know today i'd call like a remix i never really
224
like quite similar to like the the your remix of dracula you know it's like it's always really cool
225
because like like i like my voice but i don't think
226
that i have like the best voice ever
227
so whenever i hear someone with like an amazing voice singing something
228
that i've written it's always like i get such a buzz out of it
229
so it was kind of a similar thing with rihanna
230
and you you know what was it like working with dua
231
she's the other person who i know who cannot sit still
232
who was just always doing stuff working with it truly just
233
felt like a day out with her in new york for a shoot
234
and unfortunately we didn't get to record the songs together sure but she came back with her
235
amazing vocals and it just everything from there just we were texting as
236
if we were trying to find a date to hang out yeah yeah i love
237
that how was it for you she's the best um i just went to a wedding.
238
I was going to ask, were you at the wedding?
239
Sure was.
240
It was beautiful.
241
I saw the photos, it looked beautiful.
242
I don't know, she's just the best.
243
She's like, as I said, much like you, she's always doing stuff.
244
She's always like, she's got a book podcast, she's got a music career, you know, and like you, she does it quite effortlessly.
245
You know, like if I did half of the things that she does in one day, I would need to sleep for four days, you know.
246
Yeah.
247
I do one thing a day.
248
I'm like, well, that's me, you know.
249
And she's just like, she'll like duck out from a recording session to interview like Monica Lewinsky for a podcast or something.
250
And then she'll come back and finish the session.
251
She has energy and she does it with love and passion.
252
So it's very inspiring to her as a friend too.
253
Yeah, totally.
254
So Dominic, Dominic too.
255
I guess we have same taste in a lot of things, Kevin.
256
But I love his music and we were super stoked to get him on the tour.
257
I remember he sent in like multiple, multiple things and ideas.
258
Oh, cool, okay.
259
So we got to like speak directly on Landing and the version that we both liked.
260
And yeah, he's just a fun, funny, fun character.
261
Cool.
262
He seems like the kind of guy who is always recording music.
263
Like he just like record ideas
264
and send them out he's like from here to there yeah
265
as i said you're one of the busiest people i know
266
i'm not gonna disagree what do you do to relax oh if you ask me right now i think
267
um i would want to wake up by the beach and love that just run straight into the ocean that's yeah Yeah,
268
that's the kind of nature that I want to get away right now.
269
Uh -huh.
270
Do you have a favorite beach?
271
At this point, if any beach.
272
Yeah, if I'm at a beach, that instantly is my favorite one.
273
We have great beaches in Perth, actually.
274
I bet.
275
Are you in the water alone?
276
Yeah, like my house is like just right next to the beach.
277
Your house is my dream getaway vacation right now.
278
Yeah, for some reason, I just like love to always be near the ocean
279
if i'm not near the ocean then i'm not at my
280
happiest you know i just i i want to be
281
so close to the ocean i can hear it i find being by the ocean very peaceful
282
and calming like i could just sit by it for hours me too
283
and not talk what do you do to stay sane on tour it's
284
so hard no matter how much i try i mean now
285
i've learned to treat tours more more of an experience of the city or the time that I'm spending.
286
You get to know your crew better, you get to talk to people that you don't, you normally wouldn't have more than on tour.
287
Those are the things that I try to like keep in touch.
288
Totally.
289
Yeah, I realize more you isolate yourself, trying to rest kind of takes your mind to like somewhere else.
290
I usually love the sort of repetition of tour, but it can get a bit like you know
291
if you don't go out and see the world and go out
292
and see different things the more you treat your tour like
293
tour i think makes it hard do you find it hard
294
to like go home after tour do you have a bit of like a crash
295
or are you just like happy to be home i think
296
i'm happy to be yeah okay that's good that's good just
297
so far so far it's
298
but i've also been always in the middle of different things I've I've never really been on for itself
299
and that's what makes me want to go home right okay
300
yeah I'm trying to be more focused in one project at a time now now
301
that I have more time yeah I'll see I'll see
302
so far going home so far
303
so good yeah well it's always nice to go home that's for sure do you record like tons of ideas
304
and then pick the best ones
305
or do you wait for the right idea to come oh
306
i just once i'm in like my studio yeah time yeah
307
it's just building ideas somebody has to tell me like to stop yeah okay love
308
that yeah how about you with me i'm kind of in my own little world
309
because like with tame impala stuff it's always been a very solitary thing
310
so like i kind of just like go into my studio
311
and then don't come out until you lock yourself in
312
if i'm working on an album or like getting ready to work on an album
313
while i'm sort of gearing up for that then i'll completely shut myself off
314
or i'll go on like a little um i go on
315
these little sort of like trips by myself i like just
316
rent an airbnb on the beach somewhere that's my dream
317
and then i'll just be there for like a week do
318
you give like i won't speak to a soul for a
319
few days except for the mic just the mic yeah exactly
320
that's the only talking that's the only vocalizing i do do
321
you think you give yourself some sort of a timeline i'm always setting like a vague deadline for myself
322
because otherwise you just go forever.
323
Depends how I'm feeling really.
324
How do you find, I'm always really intrigued by like artists when they release music, like everyone feels a bit differently.
325
so when you really when a song comes out like a single let's say is
326
that a happy day for you or is it torture
327
or somewhere in between if i'm giving you ptsd so
328
if i'm giving you ptsd by asking this question then you've
329
answered my question yeah no comment sure again going back to duo
330
when the album came out or like when songs come out she was like
331
so excited i mean obviously she's obviously probably going through like stuff
332
that she's you know telling everyone but some people are just
333
so excited for the world to hear it and whilst i am excited for the world to hear it
334
overwhelmingly it's torture i think yeah i think i'm closer to
335
where you are at um i wish for the day where
336
i'm i wake up in the morning being like oh release day totally happiest day of my life not
337
that i'm not happy like you said like there's a lot of overwhelming things that comes with me
338
I feel exactly the same way.
339
It's like I long for the day when I can just be happy that everyone's hearing it, you know?
340
Yeah.
341
But it's like it's such a weird thing and I don't know if you experienced this too, but it's like something that you've been like growing,
342
you know, like tucked away from the world for so long and suddenly it's like in the world.
343
That transition is quite a violent thing, like emotionally and mentally yeah you know this idea
344
that you've been sort of like working on something
345
that no one's heard and then suddenly the world hears it and and the world and it's like it's so exposing
346
makes you very vulnerable
347
so yeah it's a it's a weird thing it's a it's a weird thing what we do it really is
348
so you said you're in the middle of festival season i'm
349
actually doing lullapalooza in a couple of days in chicago for the first time i'm
350
so excited okay uh i was in denmark and Poland and Spain.
351
Cool.
352
It was the best time.
353
It was really fun.
354
I feel like I'm learning more about myself as I do these two festivals, meeting new crowds in different cities.
355
And it still surprises me to go to Poland
356
and to the festival and to see the crowd just knowing and singing your song.
357
Like, it's such a special feeling that you feel on stage and, yeah, it's been a lot of fun.
358
Yeah, that's what I love about touring Europe is that every day you're in a new country
359
and it's like just a new set of people and cultures and, you know, it's like every day it's something different.
360
You can't predict what the crowd's going to be like.
361
So do you think you remember the first time you heard Blackpink's song?
362
That's a good question.
363
I'm curious.
364
Would have been like almost ten years ago now, right?
365
Yeah i remember i listened to ruby from start to finish
366
on a flight once yeah these days i hardly ever listen
367
to music it's just like it has to be something that i really want to listen to
368
for me when i jumped on dracula it wasn't as much as i loved the song
369
and and was honored to be a part of a song
370
that he put out i was just excited to get to know you
371
and learn your brain and just like yeah your friend we've got time to do
372
that you know well hopefully there is time hopefully No, there's definitely going to be time for us.
373
If you weren't doing music, do you have any clue what you might be doing?
374
No, I don't, actually.
375
Really?
376
I don't.
377
What?
378
You sound like you do.
379
I've definitely thought about a couple.
380
I think about it and it kind of just, like, scares me, to be honest.
381
That is true.
382
What would you be doing if not music?
383
I've said this, but, like, working with animals for sure.
384
Wow, okay.
385
Like, professionally.
386
I would pick something where it involves not much conversations with human.
387
Fair enough.
388
Fair enough.
389
And I was like, I could be great friends to animals and take care of them.
390
Yeah, totally.
391
It sounds like a job that I would enjoy.
392
Not that I don't want to be in music, you know. For sure.
393
Just sometimes you think about these things.
394
No, that must be very pleasant to think about.
395
See, I went to university, but I just hated it.
396
And I was studying astronomy.
397
Oh, really?
398
I was studying astronomy and that was the third degree that I'd started.
399
That was my third attempt at university, just to stay.
400
I was like, I'll just do astronomy because I love stars.
401
I love space.
402
So I was on my way to becoming a professional astronomer when I got a record deal.
403
Wow, I could see that though.
404
Sure.
405
Yeah, it makes sense, right?
406
Especially H &A right now.
407
Yeah.
408
I look like a fucking astronomy lecturer.
409
I know nothing.
410
Maybe I would have stuck with it.
411
I love science like part of what i love about doing the show is getting into like the sort of the
412
colors and the lasers
413
and like getting really scientific with it like scientifically finding ways
414
to like melt people's brains is um melt people's minds is something
415
that i'm very much into so this is kind of a weird question
416
and you might not be able to answer it and if not that's fun.
417
I'm also trying to answer it in my mind, but I can't.
418
What's your favorite, apart from us, what's your favorite vocal duet in a song?
419
Ooh.
420
It's like a feature.
421
Did you like that The Weeknd and Ariana Grande?
422
Save Your Tears?
423
That was a good one.
424
That was a good one.
425
Yeah, that was a good one.
426
I don't know why.
427
I'm thinking Madonna and Justin Timberlake right now.
428
Oh, right, OK.
429
That just popped up in my head.
430
I've never heard that one.
431
There are so many.
432
Yeah okay so what are you doing next you've got lollapalooza you're probably getting ready to
433
release certain things yes i have a new project music project coming out very soon yeah
434
and i'm actually really excited for this this this one to
435
come out right yeah very excited i have a lot to say about it once the song drops
436
but yeah of course i've been working on it since Since March, April, so pretty recent, I think,
437
and I kind of aimed it to come out really in the present.
438
Like, it wasn't a project where I held on to it for a long time.
439
Yeah, sometimes, like, the longer you sit on things, the harder it is to release them, right?
440
What about you?
441
I mean, it's, like, really difficult to, sometimes I'm, like, I can't see beyond the, like, weeks and months of touring
442
that I have, you know? it's like like there's like at the moment it's
443
kind of just like living every show living every day hoping
444
to like birth the next sort of part of deadbeat
445
which is like the album last album was called
446
that whether that's a deluxe
447
or like a sort of part two you know what i mean i just want to continue
448
that a bit okay unfortunately that involves like being in the studio
449
and like i'm like i've always got this idea
450
that i can work on music on tour
451
and just never do really it's just I find it
452
so hard to like switch some people do
453
that I know I know I know I don't know how they do it
454
because for me it's like it's almost like two different parts
455
of mine yeah you know on tour I'm like I'm like
456
a young like I'm like I'm like I'm like an athlete
457
or something I'm like a mindless soldier just like doing what
458
he's what he has to do I'm a performer yeah
459
and then like but when i'm making
460
when i'm like writing music i feel the opposite of
461
that i'm like i'm just like this sort of brain no
462
it definitely requires two different parts of your brain for sure i agree on
463
that you know i'm having fun that's
464
so that's the most important part i'm glad that you're having always i'm
465
so happy for you well thanks for chatting with me thanks for It's been good.
466
Fist bump.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
