try I'm going to take your recipe I'm going to do it um so it's announced first solo studio album Ruby has it sunk in that that's happening now like it's out there and you're talking about it no not
9
at all I feel like I I've been anticipating this moment for such a long time that it's still like a little bit unreal for me yeah and in a way it is real because I'm speaking it out loud I'm only
10
I'm so used to only speaking it with my friends and people that I work with that you know I I just want to like you want it out like um and look listen the collaborations on this album
11
sorry sorry so listen Thea Childish Gambino DOI who I cannot stop listening to I know amazing she she's she's too great everyone is too great I am so more than grateful and thankful for everyone
12
who joined in on my album and I am so excited for everyone to hear it oh my God I know it this is my album and these these are my songs and I should like stay my Cal but I'm just like you're going
13
to die you're going to have the best time ever you're going to really enjoy this a and that's the thing I mean you've been working on this album for a while and you were you were dropping I think
14
little hints cuz you and DOI were backstage at a festival at that point did you know you were going to work together to be honest like I had I I knew what I wanted and you know so i' been manifesting
15
it for the longest time but you know it takes time and you know things need to really work out and coordinate together for a song to work out and and it magically did and it did from your face I just
16
know it's going to be a banger like do you know what I mean I'm just like I need it now is and you you are used to working in a group and kind of creating in a group so how was it different
17
working with all these other artists I think this whole making a a full album is itself as a new experience for me so everything else really came with it and I really just had to break through
18
that wall and find myself before I got into the studio with any any other artist so once I got through that wall just Within Myself everything else just felt pretty natural and easy so you know
19
just excitement and you know more excitement and every day I was just praying and being happy and being thankful that is the best way to to start like a solo career just being grateful being happy
20
making the music that you want to make I mean it's it's incredible listen uh you are from black prank all dropping albums kind of at the same time have you kind of got together and had like a
21
big listening party and people heard everything you know what we should have we should have done that but sadly um we we're all so busy and yeah and which we all understand so you know we support
22
each other over our phones and text and if we do have the chance to run into each other we get we both get everyone gets excited to just share what's going on in their lives so yeah that's
23
that's been the case so exciting listen we've also got another taste of the album with love hangover come on come on Dominic fights on this as well how was it working on a record like this together cuz
24
it's quite like you get the feelings you know we talked about it we made sure that we both like what we have and each other's verses and you know we worked on different versions of it so it
25
it was just it happened very casually you know and and I'm so happy how it turned out cuz I love that song so much yeah it's good I was like waa like I needed to turn it up in it's very different
26
from it's going to be different from what everyone has heard from me but I think that's yeah they're going to start getting used to that maybe yeah is that what's kind of coming from from the album because you you've had Mantra which I cannot stop singing oh my God Jenny Jenny I'm in the shower
27
Jenny I'm on the train Jenny I can't I can't and then you've got love hangover was your intention just kind of like have a go let's see experiment no really I think for this whole album every
28
little step was experimenting and going going out of that comfort zone and really trying something new and fun and being crazy and and Bal and brown Noble and so many different emotions has been put
29
into this album so yeah every everything's going to be very it's going to be so good it's going to be incredible um and then Coachella what listen I feel like I'm like Sting sitting here like
30
just screaming the whole time hey you can scream and this is the thing you've got to kind of it's it's funny when someone puts it all like that like single single album Coachella like then you kind
31
go oh my God I'm doing a lot I know but Coachella I mean listen you headlined it with black pink but going back and putting on a show for yourself I was so focused on building this album that whilst
32
doing that in the back of my mind I knew how I wanted to present it to the world for the first time so not necessarily thinking for Coachella but I've already started visioning this album as
33
a life performance in my head over and over again that it's now time to make it into the real world she's been dreaming she's been dreaming Jenny I've got some questions I don't think you've
34
ever been asked before I'm ready you ready I love those questions come on uh first up what is your go-to convenience store snack nobody has asked me that let's on okay wait in Korea yeah I want to
35

36

37
favorite yeah Jenny if you could collaborate with yourself from a different moment in your life Wow which Jenny would you choose oh my God I mean for sure it would have to be this this Jenny now oh
38
okay yeah I mean I am I've learned so much over the past one year and I've never spent this much time in a studio before in a way that I did this time so I think you know pick the wisest one and
39
oh my God come on when you're performing do you have like an internal Mantra or a thought that grounds yourself it's it's kind of funny but I tell myself to believe in myself in a way like
40
I am the best and like I keep reminding myself and that has become one of like my Mantra before I go on the show and to keep my calm and to to for me to not get nervous is to really believe in the
41
process of getting here so yeah I try to go back to those moment like I tell myself that I'm ready and and I tell myself that this is what I've been waiting for so yeah do it you know I'm going to
42

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
