Welcome to Interview with a Magician.
11
My name is Anna De Guzman.
12
Thank you so much for being here, Becky G.
13
Thank you so much.
14
We're so excited to hear your new album, Baraja Bendita.
15
You said Baraja really good though.
16
I'm Filipina.
17
It's like close enough.
18
We're cousins.
19
Basically.
20
What is the direct translation of Baraja Bendita?
21
It's the blessed deck of cards.
22
Blessed deck of cards.
23
So perfect that you're on this show.
24
We have a deck of cards that you've been shuffling, correct?
25
There we go.
26
I want to talk about your complexities.
27
You have a very complex story.
28
Have you ever solved one of these before?
29
No. I'm gonna put it into the paper bag.
30
Can you snap your fingers?
31
Instantly.
32
Solved, go away!
33
A lot of people think there's like, a second cube in the bag.
34
That'd be a really, you know, easy way to do it, right?
35
Here, so I want you to double check.
36
So can you go ahead and mix up the cube as much as you'd like?
37
Mm -hmm.
38
Yes.
39
It's funny, my very organized brain wants to keep it color -coded.
40
Well, the cube represents your challenges in life.
41
You know, it's obviously not always going to look perfect.
42
Right.
43
So here, hold on to your mixed -up cube, and then cover up all the sides.
44
Now, even though we just met, I feel like I have a connection with you.
45
So you started to turn it right like that.
46
And then you try to keep a lot of the solids, but it's like you got to keep it even further.
47
I think you got one side.
48
Look at this one side.
49
That's two.
50
That's crazy.
51
Three, four, five, six, all six sides, a perfect match.
52
With a cube that you just mixed up a moment ago.
53
I love LA.
54
I'm from New York, but I live in LA.
55
If you were to take me out for the best tacos in LA, where are we going?
56
Okay, can I be so for real with you?
57
I love going to the Santee Alley's.
58
Okay.
59
I love a good street taco, but I love even more a bacon -wrapped LA hot dog.
60
Oh, no tacos like it's kind of like
61
New York you know the street vendors
62
you want to go where like there's a long line you know they're like the turn
63
and burn is like they're fresh
64
and they do like the little chiles asados on the side
65
and the grilled onions
66
and it's just i feel like people are those are underrated yeah
67
i want to play a game with you do you know the trend on tiktok it's like he's a 10
68
and then they hold up the card yeah he's a 10 but he doesn't have his driver's license
69
you know why though because i hate driving but we have uber
70

75
He's a five, but he's a nice guy. So he's a five?
76
Oh!
77
Yes, he's a five!
78
That's a very good amount.
79
Yeah, to be honest, yeah.
80
He's a 10, but his card declines on the first date.
81
Ooh.
82
I'm gonna go on one again.
83
I got close, I got close.
84
I got two.
85
Yeah, I was trying to be nice, but I agree.
86
Like I can be big daddy on stage and like big daddy in a boardroom, but I Yeah, I can't be big daddy.
87
I'm paying the bills.
88
Sorry.
89
You've never split the bill on first date.
90
Uh -uh.
91
Never.
92
No No, so what if that happens his card declines twice?
93
He's a 10, but he didn't watch the Bad Bunny Super Bowl.
94
Oh Girl who's watching the game the card away.
95
Yeah, that card don't exist
96
That's like a, that's a negative.
97
Negative.
98
I want to go back to the start of your journey.
99
Do you remember your turning point as an artist?
100
There's, I mean, there's not really one.
101
But I think the first one was when I got signed.
102
Do you remember how you got signed?
103
Oh, making covers on YouTube.
104
Yes.
105
You do have a song on the new album, though.
106
It's called Bandera Blanca.
107
Okay, so hold out your hand.
108
One, two, three.
109
Oh, Bandera Blanca, which means white flag?
110
Yeah.
111
Check it out.
112
Do you remember what cover on YouTube it was that got you discovered?
113
uh it was a cover by jay -z and kanye west called otis take a look
114
oh we have to change your perspective
115
because it was otis what how the hell did you do
116
that so do you remember uploading that cover i do
117
and how did it feel what were you you know
118
you've uploaded a lot of youtube videos well i had been uploading
119
so many themes for many years
120
it was like the thing to do i remember like learning about justin bieber getting discovered on youtube and being like, oh, if he did it,
121
I can do it too.
122
And yeah, it was like a cover that I put together.
123
I recorded it in one take, and so I wanted to do the music video in one take.
124
So I asked my cousins to be a part of it.
125
My little brother was a part of it.
126
And it was like basically like a student film.
127
Yeah, we did it with stuff out of my grandpa's garage.
128
You even reinvented yourself four times before 30.
129
Damn, were we counting?
130
I think you're a year older than Mason O 'Feele.
131
Okay.
132
When did reinvention stop feeling like starting over and start feeling like you're becoming yourself?
133
Oh, I think really early on.
134
In the last few years, I got to do a Musica Mexicana project called Esquinas.
135
And that was kind of like, I would say the beginning of my Saturn return.
136
And now Baraja Bendita is happening like at the end of my Saturn return.
137
So it feels like a homecoming season where I'm returning to like my truest self.
138
Was there a version of Becky G that the audiences loved, but you already outgrew?
139
Of course, there's so many versions of that, but I embrace all of them, to be honest, so.
140
Because you had your, you know, rap era, Spanish era, pop era, which one do you resonate with more?
141
Because I heard this album, I got a little sneak peek, and I do hear you singing a lot in Spanish.
142
Yes, but it's Spanglish.
143
I would say this is maybe my favorite season because I embrace all sides.
144
There's just a lot of genre bending happening and unapologetically, which I think is, it's just the coolest time to be an artist today.
145
What made you get comfortable with kind of experimenting with sound, this album?
146
I think kind of coming to terms with the fact that some people will get it and some people may not.
147
And being an artist isn't about everybody liking you.
148
One of my favorite Tupac quotes is, what's not growing is dead.
149
And I just feel like if I kept looking at myself in versions of eras, it's like not really embracing the journey versus looking at it
150
as an evolution like my essence yeah my essence is always there
151
but like it's just an expansion of me if you will i watched your documentary
152
rebecca yeah with two b's with two b's
153
i honestly really resonate with your story uh growing up
154
i grew up in kind of a similar situation during the recession my mom she's a single mother
155
so that was actually very like comforting to see
156
that it wasn't something
157
that i was the only one ever experiencing
158
you know in the moment as a kid
159
you feel like oh no one gets it no one in school is dealing with this
160
or whatever like thank you so much for sharing that
161
because one thing about rebecca and filming
162
that documentary was um i've always just truly felt
163
that half the truth is still a lie
164
and i feel like to embrace all sides is important for
165
me to be able to continue to step into myself
166
and to practice what i preach really because it's one thing to tell people
167
and it's another thing to actually show them i felt really connected to you sharing that that means a lot
168
Honestly, your story was very inspiring to me.
169
Thank you.
170
Thank you so much for being here again.
171
What was the last decision you made without overthinking it?
172
The one that just felt right.
173
This morning, it was my blueberry bagel, scooped, double toasted.
174
I was originally going to go with a cream cheese toasted bagel, keep it simple.
175
And I was like, you know what?
176
We're in New York.
177
We're in New York.
178
The bagels are fire.
179
I bet you a blueberry one's going to hit.
180
Didn't even think about it.
181
And it did.
182
I switched it right then and then.
183
I was like, oof, and I had it.
184
Phenomenal.
185
Well, you're kind of a queen.
186
Not kind of, you are a queen.
187
You're like royalty.
188
Queen of spades.
189
Look at that!
190
Greatest croony!
191
Take the queen of spades.
192
You have something right here.
193
What?
194
Could you do initials?
195
In the middle?
196
Yeah, B -G.
197
Cool.
198
Take the queen of spades, put it back, say stop, stop.
199
Right there, put the card back face down.
200
I put it in already.
201
Sorry.
202
Oh, you said, sorry, I mixed it out.
203
It's okay.
204
I've never had this happen before.
205
It's fine.
206
I think I missed.
207
No, I think all you got to do is snap
208
Take a look Y 'all are funny not everybody else being in on it
209
I should know better than to not fall for all of this.
210
I'm done.
211
You hold out your hands flat I'm gonna reach in.
212
There's about 51 cards now in the middle.
213
I'm gonna reach in.
214
Hopefully it's the card with the signature.
215
Ready?
216
No, that's not it.
217
Okay.
218
I'll do one better.
219
Baraja bendita, blessed deck.
220
I'm gonna do one better just for you, Becky G.
221
We're gonna make all the cards in your hand completely disappear without me touching you.
222
Take a look.
223
Are you serious?
224
Guys, come on.
225
Well, there goes my blessed deck.
226
What?
227

228
Rotate.
229

240
Fire.
241

242

243
What still scares you?
244
You know, actually, it's one I've conquered recently.
245
I used to be afraid of the dark.
246
You're lying.
247
I swear.
248
Yeah, I love it now.
249
The dark?
250
I'm talking.
251
So I'm just kidding.
252
What's on your tour, Ryder?
253
Jacheros. For sure.
254
Like scented candles that smell like my mom's house.
255
It's just like an apple cinnamon scented candle.
256
Love having those.
257
It just makes me feel like I'm at home.
258
Are you announcing a tour for this album soon?
259

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.
