1
Welcome to the show, mate.
2
It's good to meet you at last.
3
I'm so happy to be here.
4
Thank you for having me.
5
I'm such a fan.
6
Yeah, same.
7
You're doing incredible work, and it is work.
8
You've worked really hard to get to this place where you can step on stage at these festivals, and you can really make that impression,
9
which you already know is first for a lot of people.
10
Yeah.
11
And really walk off that stage and know that you left it all there.
12
And I'm watching these videos online like everybody else
13
and seeing these reviews and looking at the comments on my algorithm and whatever, and it's incredible, dude.
14
Thank you.
15
I am so happy that people are connecting with me and with my music.
16
My face is all over this room.
17
It's fucking creepy. But it's awesome also.
18
But also, and I mean this with the greatest of respect, you're not afraid of that.
19
Like there's darkness in your music and your imagery.
20
Like, I mean, it's only creepy to some degree because you've created an album cover, which is kind of creepy in a cool way.
21
Yeah, I have that little fuck ass smirk going.
22
I think this album cover is sick.
23
I think a lot of people don't really fuck with it, but I love it.
24
Why?
25
I don't know.
26
I think they just are like, what is this face that she's making?
27
I love it.
28
I think it's cool.
29
I mean, it looks like you've literally just jumped around the corner and surprised, and then you're out again.
30
That's right.
31
That's exactly what happened.
32
This was the last shot of the day, too.
33
It was not supposed to be the cover, but I love it.
34
It's very not polished, which is kind of what I am, I think.
35
Well, you're a paradox in that regard because you incredibly dialed into your craft and have put so much into this.
36
I feel like a life, you know, on this journey to get to this point.
37
But somehow you do want to keep it with edge.
38
It's got teeth.
39
It's got teeth.
40
I got teeth, you know.
41
I'm from Slovakia.
42
I have that
43
Eastern European feistiness to me.
44
Just ask my boyfriend.
45
I'm sure he'd talk.
46
I'm sure he wouldn't.
47
Yeah, I'm sure he would not, actually, if I did my job right.
48
Hopefully not but um yeah i think that's what i am
49
and i also yeah i think it's weird because i'm a ballerina
50
and i i value like technicality and singing and dancing
51
so much but i think that's why i needed to kind of break out
52
and be a little raw at times because ballet is
53
so perfect all the time where i felt like a little suffocated is
54
that why you decided to go from prima to pop star that's right
55
and now i get to do both hopefully prima pop star no you do and it's a beautiful hybrid you know
56
Because, and it's awesome how you've been able to explain to people very clearly through your craft
57
and also through your videos that like, I'm not just talking shit here.
58
Like I have the discipline to do that, but I don't have the discipline to see it through.
59
Because once you, am I right?
60
You're kind of right.
61
That's like ultimately what my life has always been.
62
I'm like, okay, this is cool.
63
Like there's a lot of like, there's a lot of like steps where like, if you do this, this will happen.
64
And then it's, it becomes like a little too repetitive, a little too kind of,
65
it just like confines me into something that I feel like I can't let loose.
66
I can't like stretch.
67
Well, you know, the only option you have when you make that call is to work for yourself.
68
That's right.
69
And I do, which is awesome, which is why I'm so late to the show.
70
You're not, you're right on time.
71
You're pop star early.
72
Dude, I had to wait for Eminem for four days once.
73
You're fine.
74
That's a true story.
75
I love it days
76
i was like in tokyo for four days just like how
77
long am i going to be in tokyo for as long as eminem wants
78
you to be he's like all right i guess i'm staying i don't know
79
if i'm slim shady level yeah how did you feel
80
when this was taking shape in the room and you had this kind of like really
81
edgy pretty deep four on the floor electro banger yeah
82
and you were like okay that's my first single yeah
83
this song kind of went through a a lot of different iterations
84
and at first i really hated it yep
85
and why can you tell me why it was just
86
i was just like is this the worst thing on earth
87
like i was like i was like this this just suck rat's ass
88
and then we kept we kept making it
89
and then we kept tweaking it
90
and i was like then i i had like a complete ego trip
91
and i was like this is the best thing ever
92
and then so i was like clearly this is like a very polarizing thing
93
and i just i liked it
94
and also just like it tells my story completely it's really clever in
95
that regard you know it's you know i'm a spy man
96
i studied this shit
97
it's like where you come from what it means the imagery the idea yeah
98
it's a very quick narrative pull yeah yeah
99
and i i was like this this needs to be on the album
100
it needs to be the first track like that was the only way
101
that i was able to see it
102
and then it was the first single obviously
103
and i was just like this just tells you who i am
104
because it's not serious
105
but it also like literally kind of is though i mean the kgb is a pretty serious image
106
and you're kind of fucking with some pretty
107
it's this is not the stuff of like you know like
108
this isn't like comedy spy movie stuff like you say the kgb
109
it's like it does exist no the kgb is very serious
110
it's very real let me rephrase the kgb is very serious
111
and i do not fuck with those guys um
112
but it's unserious to use it in the sense that i am
113
and and obviously it's affected my country and where i'm from like Slovakia
114
and my people heavily and
115
so I was just like this is just kind of like laugh through the pain type thing
116
and just fuck man like I'm gonna use
117
it for my benefit can a bitch from Slovakia just use this shit for her benefit for once yeah
118
and so I was like this is you know it's just kind of a tongue -in -cheek thing to say
119
but also like the virtues are completely true
120
they're just like stupid like they're like I was like eight doing the night shift can we talk about
121
that fact to learn English can we talk about
122
that fact it's not it's not if you really
123
if you like music the first time you heard
124
that song you're not skipping that statement no
125
and the way you say it is like no one says
126
that because it rhymes no you say it
127
because you want people to know it's true it is it's the truth
128
I was I was like eight working the night shift to learn English
129
it's it's correct where are you working the night shift at
130
eight years old um youtube yeah yeah yeah sorry to mention
131
it here it's not fine we're all on the tubes okay don't worry about it's all good is
132
that fine i was gonna spotify amazon youtube yeah yeah yeah streaming streaming spend your money
133
it's just distributions of choice go get
134
it it's all good um apple music yeah that's fucking what's up right
135
there it's fine we all know they exist
136
we just all know who's best i love your soundboard man
137
this is my dream you don't get to play with
138
that sorry i didn't i wasn't gonna ask that's fine there are rules for this shit i i would assume so
139
if i had a sound sound desk i would also have rules
140
you can have one on stage though you get a little box
141
and every time you do something good or you say something dope just like
142
if you just be like you know just bomb yourself just be like man truth bomb yourself just
143
because you should totally you should do that my own biggest hype man um how hard was it
144
Well, at that age, at eight years old, you were open and able to absorb things very quickly.
145
I mean, your brain is going 1 ,000 miles an hour, so new skills to some degree on a cerebral level should come fast.
146
But how was that time for you, and what really motivated you to want to learn English?
147
Because I understand that it's a part of the global experience
148
if you want to go and achieve things in your life is to learn languages.
149
But at eight years old, to be that dedicated, what was moving you?
150
So I loved Hannah Montana growing up, and it was all dubbed over in Czech
151
so I thought it was some girl from the Czech Republic
152
and I thought that I would be able to do
153
that one day I thought everybody was like kind of in a neighboring country
154
and available to me yeah yeah
155
and then my older brother was like nope like everything
156
that you love is American everybody's American all the music
157
that you love and it's so strange because the songs are not translated yeah so
158
but to me it was just like music language yeah
159
I was like you got the limo like i was singing it i think we can all understand
160
that now especially in the wake of what's been happening in
161
korea what's been happening in the latin american music markets
162
we get it now it's like bad bunny is now the
163
biggest most successful artist on the planet at least in my opinion that's right
164
and he hasn't done one song in english
165
and he shouldn't like it's it's interesting everything is
166
so english america centered i mean i'm i guess kind of a hypocrite
167
because i could do it in a different language
168
but I choose not to but it's also like the language
169
that a lot of people speak I mean Slovak is spoken by like five million people
170
so I'd be really limiting myself
171
but anyways I was just like whoa need to be Hannah Montana one day how are we gonna do this
172
and so I got to cooking I had a little list a plan written
173
and I was like okay I need to learn English
174
if I can be American I can sound like an American and then
175
when I'm 15 I'm gonna go to the disney channel headquarters
176
i'm gonna go with my godfather who lives in hawaii he's not gonna mind
177
we're gonna go for pilot season i looked up the address
178
i like wrote it down oh my god i was like we're gonna go
179
when i'm 15
180
and i'm gonna audition i'm gonna get it wait how are you how old are you
181
when you wrote this list i was like i mean whenever i could write
182
so that was like what seven eight i was probably eight i was like eight
183
so you're studying what pilot season is at eight years old
184
Yeah, it's so strange.
185
Like, why the fuck do you know that?
186
But then I did.
187
And so then I, it was obviously really embarrassing.
188
Like, I was self -aware enough to not say these things out loud.
189
Because I would just get bullied by my brother.
190
Like, I would get annihilated.
191
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
192
And also, kids your own age don't want to know you're figuring it out.
193
Hell no. It's so weird.
194
Yeah.
195
It's like, what are you doing?
196
So then I was just like, okay, let me keep, let me grind in silence.
197
And then I just watched YouTube a lot.
198
And I would watch, like, interviews of my favorite singers.
199
So that was like
200
Miley Cyrus and like Ariana Grande and like Beyonce.
201
I would watch these people on whatever the equivalent of the Zane Lowe show at that time was.
202
The Zane Lowe show.
203
But thanks for listening.
204
I appreciate it.
205
I was on the BB.
206
That's fine.
207
Were you actually?
208
Yeah.
209
Fuck.
210
I'm just kidding.
211
I'm just digging my hole deeper and deeper, man.
212
I'm never going to get invited back.
213
Buddy, I'll give you...
214
Sorry, I only listen to Apple Music.
215
I told you.
216
Buddy, I'll give you the spade.
217
I love the deeper, the deeper the hole, the better.
218
That's where the jokes are.
219
Are you kidding?
220
That's our love language in New Zealand.
221
Don't worry about it.
222
You didn't really touch Slovakia, I have to tell you.
223
Okay, fine.
224
I wasn't big in Slovakia.
225
There's truth in that.
226
Sorry.
227
There's truth in that.
228
I mean, no, the truth hurts.
229
I get it.
230
It wasn't a big market for me.
231
you were just dreaming the whole thing up and doing the work simultaneously
232
which is the key right when you visualize and you know it's there
233
and then you're like but it requires actual action yeah it was weird
234
and then nobody knew and it took like a year i think i was like nine
235
and i could just speak fluent english how did you reveal
236
that to your parents
237
and to the people in your life we were um on vacation one day
238
and i i was so so shy as a kid
239
and my older brother was like can you fucking ask for your coke yourself like please just do it
240
and I was like okay
241
and I just spoke like fluent English in front of my family and they're like who are you yeah
242
what happened they're like that's
243
but it wasn't like harmful they were like this is just really strange
244
and I guess she's like she has her special interests
245
but like it was really strange they're like well how did you do
246
that I was like I just like watched the internet
247
and like there's moments on this album that are very deep
248
and thoughtful and you've really found an emotional lane
249
that goes with um you know the teethiest stuff
250
we were talking about before yeah i agree i think
251
it's important um i'm a girl i get sad yeah
252
i get you know happy i i want to have sex
253
i don't want to have sex yeah i want to love
254
i i get heartbroken it's like it's all in a day's work
255
there's one piece of music on the record i won't say what name it is
256
but um it really is just a stream of consciousness through an autotune yeah yeah yeah
257
and i and when i heard it for the first time i said to the mutual friend
258
that we have who you worked with on the record
259
that's right shout out to blake shout out to blake slatkin
260
i love you yeah i love him i love you too blake
261
and he played me that music the whole album i was blown away
262
and um thank you and i got to that song
263
and i was like
264
that is a really powerful statement at this point in your life thank you
265
because the words are so real but also the way
266
that you made it sound modern and interesting and creative
267
and not just a poet not just a statement
268
or a stream of consciousness yeah super weird and eccentric
269
and brilliant thank you i i felt
270
that it was needed i think there's a lot of moments on this record
271
that are you know the on the like cuntier side as we were saying
272
and and i am that and i have a lot of fun
273
and i laugh a lot and i'm sexy a lot
274
and yada yada yada
275
but i you know there's a lot of sadness in me honestly yeah um
276
and it's there's a lot of things
277
that i feel like i kind of navigating
278
this career have like not expected to like hit me as hard as they are being away from family
279
i think is a big one for you right yeah being away from my family
280
i i have a little sister oh that's heartbreaking
281
when you have a a kid involved
282
and you have to leave them for like prolonged periods of time it's you see the passing of time
283
so much more you sum
284
that up beautifully on this record at one point where you talk about like i don't even know
285
if she's gonna look at me the same way anymore
286
or look at me like that that influence and that friend
287
that i was to her yeah and and honestly she like probably doesn't
288
and kind of in a way shouldn't like you got to find your own identity at some point right
289
it is a fact of life
290
but it still hurts yeah it hurts i wish i could be at a hundred different places at once
291
but i hope that um through my independence
292
and through achieving my dreams on my own terms i um give her something different
293
but still valuable you know what i mean there's a lot of things
294
that drive ambition especially in the world of the arts
295
and in music a lot of reasons why you want to do it yeah is one of those reasons
296
because ultimately you want to try to create a better life for the people that you love the most.
297
Absolutely.
298
Absolutely.
299
I love my family, but I love my mom and my sister.
300
I've always valued women in my life and I felt the closest to women in my life.
301
And I really want to, you know, one day take care of them and move them out here with me and have a nice life.
302
But the financials are not there yet we'll get there soon hopefully fuck
303
if y 'all fucking stream this album yeah man please yeah yeah
304
but like i mean again i don't worry
305
you should we shouldn't worry about adela yeah i agree i'm not worried
306
which is awesome um because i do think it's gonna come but yeah there's like real life stuff that i Bye -bye.
307
I feel all the time and I don't necessarily talk about it much because it's not like
308
it's easy like to write a pop song about that
309
but that's why I think this track like therapy is the track on the album
310
that talks about that it's important because I think people need to see
311
that I'm a human you know I miss my family I miss my little sister I had to go away and
312
um and i'm fortunate enough that i had the opportunity to go away
313
and make my dreams come true how did you get
314
that opportunity what was the moment when you knew that you could do that
315
um i always i always thought i would
316
and frankly i mean it was just when i got into the show like
317
um pop star academy the show that i was on when i got scouted and there was like
318
hundreds and thousands of submissions but i was one of them
319
and i thought i had zero chance because i was from slovakia
320
and a big part of those competitions is like you choose the people
321
that are going to bring you the biggest market yeah which slovakia is not the biggest market yeah
322
so i mean that was that was the confirmation i hope
323
that i would get to do it somehow some way
324
but there wasn't any clear path how did you navigate
325
that experience of competing with people your own age
326
that ultimately you can empathize with because you're all there to try to achieve your dreams and your goals.
327
But you know
328
that it's all going to come down to a small group of people who are going to make that group.
329
And I always think like for the entertainment value of these types of shows, it's Hunger Games, man.
330
It's like, how do you tell somebody that age
331
that they should be competing at that level with a smile on their face
332
and then going away to try to beat someone
333
it's just a it's an odd paradox don't you think yeah I think what's interesting
334
and this has been a theme in my life even in ballet is like everybody assumes
335
that the girls and like the peers would have the the worst kind of interactions
336
and the biggest competition but I found
337
that there's like girls especially young girls we really held together
338
and we and we had each other's backs and that's something
339
that honestly is the biggest takeaway for me is how emotionally
340
intelligent young women are um contrary to how we are often portrayed
341
but even in the show i think
342
we were portrayed differently than how things actually went down yeah for you know entertainment value yeah
343
i think the thing that i've i've um taken away from
344
that is that
345
and on the opposite side of the spectrum how the actual like people in power are the ones
346
that just fuck with you they just fuck shit up
347
and they actually have nothing figured out
348
and you're just there to um experience the blow of
349
that of those decisions
350
or lack thereof i don't even know how they get a seat at this table yeah there's this table
351
that these and i'm just going to say these men yeah all around yeah
352
and i don't even know how they get this who decides like hey there's a seat for you now
353
but you know what half the time i'm like i'm not even sure
354
you actually even understand what's going on no
355
but then sometimes i think they don't understand and they really do
356
which is also weird and then that fucks with you too because you're like
357
man do i know anything about anything probably not so
358
but the the honestly the worst part to me is nowadays like there were women
359
that had a seat at the table and there are
360
and I feel like I didn't see enough of like protection
361
and um kind of understanding I mean if I I hope the bigger I
362
I hope to take care of artists and women, especially in the entertainment industry.
363
I mean, like, look at Olivia Rodrigo and Daisy Chainfield.
364
Can we just do that, please?
365
Can we just do that on every single level, right down to making sure there's no clashes in the schedule so everyone gets an audience?
366
God, so good.
367
The most thoughtful person right now in front of an audience making art, in my opinion.
368
Not to create hierarchy around that, but I say that to inspire others to be that thoughtful
369
because she is seeing every opportunity as a chance to do the right thing.
370
I agree.
371
And I've been saying this for a long time.
372
She's my goat.
373
And I think she's just a young legend.
374
She's actually a big reason of why I'm even here.
375
Why?
376
Weirdly, before Drivers Listens even came out, there was an Elle article with Olivia and she mentioned her voice teacher.
377
Um, Jennifer Dussman and.
378
I looked her up because I was like Olivia sounds amazing
379
and I looked her up and she was cheaper than the voice teacher
380
that I was taking lessons from at the time and
381
so I reached out to her I started taking zoom lessons with her in Slovakia
382
and she was following Interscope and then they posted the audition for the show
383
that I was on and she was like you should audition for this
384
so I'm like I don't know if Olivia Rodrigo
385
and then I put out driver's lessons I don't know
386
if I would be here which is so weird
387
and I told her this too and we like bonded over this weird
388
butterfly effect thing the butterfly effect is
389
so beautiful i live for this stuff yeah
390
and i'm just such a fan man because this is all like
391
if you're a woman if you're anybody and you have such amazing success
392
and she didn't have to put on this festival that's like charity
393
and she's not making money off this you took your time making this record i know
394
that because i was touching base with people who are working on a particular blake
395
and he was like you know we're taking our time we're getting it right yeah
396
so how how was
397
that keeping how did you keep a balance as someone who
398
was probably in a real hurry to release a record at least part of your psychology is like oh
399
i've been waiting my whole life to do this absolutely
400
but you're taking a time to get
401
it right is an interesting kind of conflict yeah
402
i at the start of making this record
403
i had a moment where i kind of was freaking out a little bit not going to lie
404
and i was like this needs to come out sooner rather then later
405
and it was supposed to come out honestly way sooner than it is now but um
406
Blake and Dylan Brady they like sat me down
407
and they're like you cannot be doing what people want you to do that's like the thing
408
that makes you unique that's the one thing that we love about you
409
and people love about you is like you need to do what feels right for you
410
and that's such a simple concept and everybody tells you to do
411
that until they're put in a position where there's pressure on them
412
and they feel that there's eyes on them and there's opportunities
413
that they need to seize it's the first thing that goes away when
414
that happens yeah the first thing you forget is like wait a minute
415
i actually need to honor my own yeah thing
416
and your own your own your gut
417
and like everybody always tells you trust your gut
418
and you're like okay shut up i'm gonna do obviously i'm gonna trust my gut
419
but you need to trust your gut
420
and like the tiniest little decisions every little inkling of a feeling
421
that you have you need to honor it which is
422
so crazy because it's like to have that level of confidence
423
and and believe in yourself especially being an artist starting out is hard
424
but I I understand I I think I'm still learning it
425
but I'm understanding that that's just the only way to do it
426
because also like if I make something
427
that I'm just like somebody wants this somewhere and I know that they see me like this and they're gonna like this
428
But I don't like it
429
Nowadays you don't get guaranteed success
430
For a record
431
It's like People need to actually like it
432
People need to actually know it exists
433
Before we even get a chance
434
Everyone's going to like something
435
If we could actually just put your music
436
In front of an audience that might be even
437
Remotely open to it based on their taste
438
And it actually worked
439
And social media actually did what they promised
440
In the beginning which was work for the people
441
Who work for them Exactly.
442
They don't.
443
They open the door and let you find an audience, and now they're like, well, we control your audience, not you.
444
So you can't even find the people that like your shit anymore.
445
No, it's really wild.
446
It's a totally dysfunctional relationship.
447
The social media of it all, it's so funny, obviously.
448
But also, music is way more democratized now, right?
449
I mean, if it wasn't for the internet, I'm not going to sit here and just shit on it
450
because I would never be here if it wasn't for social media.
451
No, but two things can be right
452
but yeah it's it gets it gets tricky it's fickle and
453
so to me i'm like okay well there's no guarantee
454
that anybody's actually gonna even hear this or like it
455
so the only thing that i can do is like it myself
456
because that's what do you like yeah that's it that's it
457
because otherwise i'm gonna want to just kill myself
458
if i'm putting out songs that i don't even like
459
and then no one is listening too
460
because they're not being fed them yeah it's like okay well
461
then now what there's a cycle of violence right here
462
this is not going anywhere yeah this is bad this is just bad bad and worse
463
so it's like so i just need to make something
464
that i at least fuck with and then hope and pray and
465
fucking you know cross my fingers that someone's gonna hear it
466
and so where does work play into this then for people who are listening listening
467
and watching this right now who are also in the hope
468
and praise space of their life right but but we all know
469
that there is like an undeniable part of this equation
470
which is the work you put in yeah how does
471
that roll into this kind of great unknown era that we're in
472
because to my point before
473
there are more unknowns in terms of can i actually find
474
an audience than there ever was before for anyone releasing any having the courage to release anything i don't know Oh.
475
like it's fickle man and i'm not gonna sit here
476
and act like hard work equals success yeah yeah
477
because it doesn't there needs to be
478
so many things at play i mean i was even privileged enough yes i'm from slovakia
479
but i was privileged enough to for my family to just support me
480
and my dreams i never had to work three jobs
481
and do music and ballet on the side
482
when i had time yeah like arts are not accessible
483
and it's that's right they're not to everybody not they're not at all
484
and it's really frustrating
485
and it's unfortunate at the same time I guess social media is able to sometimes work well in cases like
486
that but what do you do if it hits
487
and you're not ready for it and you don't have the work ethic
488
and you haven't got the framework or the architecture or the dream
489
or any of that and you get something and then it's just like, wait a minute, I don't actually know what to do with this.
490
Yeah, it's so strange to really truly like succeed and find an audience and fans and build a thing today.
491
It's a mystery to me.
492
I mean, I'm doing it for the first time and I'm just like, what the fuck is going on?
493
You know what's cool about the way this is working for you now as well is
494
because you came out on the first few songs
495
and the performance level was so high in terms of like shows
496
and videos and imaging with the imagery was so strong and striking.
497
Thank you.
498
That you presented a really clear vision out the gate.
499
But what's really been really fun in the last, I would honestly say really just few weeks or month is that you're like,
500
all right, now I get to just be myself and actually let people hear what I'm like as a person.
501
Yeah.
502
And like, you are a really, really interesting person to talk with.
503
Like we're supposed to be well off the air by now
504
and thanks to you and your team who have been really cool about this
505
and the artists who we've pushed back no we appreciate
506
it i mean you know no i'm not sorry at all
507
but it's like you you obviously realized maybe did you come to the conclusion
508
it's like okay it's time for me to reveal myself
509
because i didn't feel like you were doing too much of
510
that in the beginning no i think i also i mean the first thing
511
that i put out was a reaction to the way
512
that I was presented to people that wasn't in my control
513
which is through this show I wasn't in charge of the editing
514
and making it as real as I could have been
515
so I think it was all about the specific thing in my life
516
and now with this album I think I get to be a human
517
and I get to talk about the things that aren't that
518
which means talking about my family like we talked about
519
and talking about my love life and yada yada yada whatever the fuck
520
but it's like there's a spectrum like i wanted this album to feel like a conversation between me
521
and my girlfriends because it's
522
so funny like you can start the night by just like talking about
523
so much deep stuff like me missing my family
524
and like being an immigrant yada yada yada again yeah
525
and then you end it with like broke dick as best dick
526
and that's the duality of a woman so that's on the album too
527
and i i do think bro dick is the best dick is going on the board
528
that's amazing i mean it's it's i've had it
529
i would never lie i i've met a few times now a couple of your besties
530
and i don't and i can only imagine the kind of conversations you guys have
531
because they are real ones it's they're real ones
532
we did this shit trust me
533
we were traumatized as fuck by the internet like yeah yeah
534
we were just a bunch of teenage girls like we are wild come on it's been such a joy man
535
i you know
536
So that is like an outright smash, life -changing hit record.
537
I hope so.
538
It should be.
539
I would love that.
540
She's going to love it.
541
I think she is.
542
She was like, is it nice?
543
I'm like.
544
It's very nice.
545
You think I would ever write something not nice about you, Nicole Kidman?
546
You're going to be smashing pints of Foster's down at like, you know, Bondi Beach at some point.
547
Bondi Beach.
548
Bondi Beach, mate.
549
Bondi Beach.
550
Adela, we don't worry about you hey thank you guys you uh like such a brilliant brilliant artist
551
and such a fantastic pop star of the times you know
552
and i just want to say as as we say goodbye
553
that like it should be it should be noted as well
554
that um you may not know what to do with the with with the hard work
555
but you really put it in and this this has not landed for you
556
and been given to you and you have studied this game
557
and you know what moves the needle and you know how to reach people you've just done it your way
558
And I just want to say that you're about to go on this incredible lifelong journey and have amazing experiences.
559
But that really is the tenet that people should always remember through the success.
560
So if anyone decides to get on those comments and start to say whatever they want to say, just remember that there's levels to this shit.
561
Shit, I'll save this and listen to this before I go to sleep.
562
There's levels to this shit.
563
Thank you.
564
I appreciate it.
565
And you've known that since you were eight years old.
566
Thank you.
567
And man, life is waiting for you.
568
Hey.

什么是跟读法?
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
