It is messed up, but it's amazing. It was actually
that mess obviously, the mess upside of it. I'm quite
like it's just on flying commerce. But yeah, it's amazing.
It's like London on on on drugs. That's how I
describe on crack. What's a compliment, It's actually comment because

version on.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
And more trash.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Don't forget the trash.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
We have more.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
You've got weird bens like I put trash hands.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
But the benz Earn you performed at the Roxy, yeah
I did.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
That was a show for super low of young fans
and some others that were just walking by, and uh
we our studios used to be down there and that
area is famous for trash natos. Do you know what
trash nato is? So the wind because of the way
that the buildings are shaped down there, the wind starts
rolling and it takes all the trash from the streets
(01:37):
and it's a tornado. You get hit upside the head
with all sorts of crap. I'm hoping, I hope before
you leave in New York, you get experienced.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
You get to.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
The worst is when a plastic bag gets you and
it feels like someone suffocating you.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Terrible. Do you ever feel that came?
Speaker 4 (01:58):
You did say something about yourself. You you you spoke
a lot and talk to your fans and your audience
a lot at the show. At the Roxy, you said
that you are your favorite rappers, favorite artist.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Oh thank you for bringing up clan waiting to bring
this up, everyone said, I'm she made the comment that
went viral, which is like I'm your favorite arts artists
or something, I'm your favorite rappers, favorite arists, which I.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Think is valid.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
I mean, like rappers who I would like, I've listened
to you growing up, loving like they reached out to me.
So that's like, you know, I tried to put a
spin on it, and nobody call into that. Maybe didn't
say the right radio station, but here I'm at the
right radio station. I'm saying it, So make it go viral, guys.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Yea, well, it's it's just it's saying, Uh, these great
late night restaurants that we have in New York City,
those are the big chef's favorite chefs, right, Okay, I
get it. I get that, I get it. So when
did you decide that? When did you decide that music
was your thing? When did you decide that performing is
really what gets you off?
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
So I tell this to slightly living me each time,
but basically, there was one moment where I really realized
that actually this came to me like not so long ago,
and basically I just remember thinking I want to be
a songwriter when I was like ten or like eleven,
Like I always wanted to write be a songwriter, but
I didn't necessarily want to be in the limelight because
that felt too much, and you know, I was just
basically lying to myself, I don't want to be like
(03:19):
have the fame and the biproduct of fame whatever. But
then I was like, actually, you know what I kind
of do. That's basically the story. It's not really exciting,
but like I just realized that, like I can sing
a bet I had a good enough voice at the time.
I actually kind of train myself to have a better voice.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
But I was like, why not do it all? You
got one life.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Why not just you know, make the most of it
and kind of do all the things that I felt
like I was kind of right at I was never
going to anything else at school or anything, so it's
my only kind of lane that I had.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
I never had a plan be so this is always
my option.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
So you know, yeah, you only have one life, but
actually it sounds as if you have several lives.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
And you're just kind of swirling them together. Oh yeah,
sometimes you have to change hats.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Yeah right, the songwriter hat, the performer, the business like making.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
But why not? But I'm sure something.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Tells me, just intuitions telling me that you don't let
people f around with you.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Is it true?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Guys?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I mean the people are working with the.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Fair.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
This is the way.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
It's their head shaking.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
They're all like, whatever you say, please don't beat us.
So if you're just turning us on, this is Lola Young.
That voice. Uh look, you know we're not we're not
trained artists, we're not trained vocalists. There's just something raw
about that voice of yours. There's this mixture of air
(04:45):
and sound and tonal quality. And I don't what do
you call it? You're you're the singer, what do you
how do you describe your voice? If in the third person?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I don't know. I can't hear it.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
I mean, people's gona was this powerful? I don't hear
at all. I mean, I just don't hear that. And
my voice, I know it's I know it's like a
bigger voice, but I don't necessarily I know what i'd
call it. I just make noise and hopefully it sounds good.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
For instance, doing a show like Jimmy Foul and The
Tonight Show, Yeah, yeah, that was mad?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
How much fun was that that?
Speaker 4 (05:16):
But you only give you that little like four by
four square foot space, but your voice turns it into
a stage.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
No, that couldn't have gone any better.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
I was like absolutely, like peeing myself before obviously, you know,
it's like the biggest thing I've done as of anthems
of TV, and like it just couldn't have gone better.
It was really it was really like a special moment.
I blacked out during when I I've never blacked out.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
You blacked out during the interview?
Speaker 3 (05:41):
No, so I literally blacked out, like I don't remember anything,
not literally. I wasn't doing no no, no, no, no, no,
that I was. I was completely sober. And that's saying
I've never blacked out like otherwise.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
But I can't remember. I could came off and I
couldn't remember anything.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Did you watch back and go oh?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
I said, that is like saying, Gord, you said some
awful things like what did I say?
Speaker 1 (06:03):
What did you say?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
They're playing with me? I didn't. I so the Sox
thing got a lot of like, you know, that was funny.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
No, you were great, You were awesome. But you've done
gram Norton. Okay, so your big three are Graham Norton.
You conquered g We've got a great Gram Norton story.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
I don't know if you're wrong.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
And of course fallon Tonight Show and Saturday Night Live?
Are you going to be on SNL? Is there a
come on people? Are you going to do your job
at GET or a gig on SNL?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
They're waiting for the call out there put it in
the universe. Jimmy Fallon has connections with SNL, so we
could make that happen. Are those the releads of three?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
That are the three?
Speaker 4 (06:40):
So once you've conquered all three, what's left is that
it curtains retirement.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
No, I work well?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Albums maybe the number four you can do?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
You guys like most of something off And what do
you how do you feel when people come up to you,
fans come up to you and say your music saved
me or your music means this much to.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Me, do you know what? It's hard? That's a really
hard question because I like try not to soak it
in too much. Everyone else, I can't.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I can't take it on because then it be feels
very silal, Like yesterday I performed and a little pop
up and literally I was like at one point, I
just like thought I want to cry, but then I
didn't really want to cry back, I kind of did,
so I just like had a moment. Then I like
stap back into it because when you when you really
start feeling though your music and access can be very
intense and surreal. But you can't just take it on
every day. You can't feel what they're feeling all the time,
(07:27):
because yes, it gets too much.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
How do you feel about people taking your song and
doing little dances to it on TikTok because it seems
like that not really your vibe as much as I'm getting.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
From you right now.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Gandhi here she has ripped off messy so much on
her TikTok and on her Instagram.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
I use it on my Instagram stop in my life.
Probably I might all use some money.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
But I don't know.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
How do you feel about it?
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Well?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Yeah, I mean like it's mad, Like I hear that
song far too much, I said there on the fly,
I was like, I literally here, it's too much on
that bloody app I'm happy it's back in America, but
also like we's not come to that other things. But honestly, like,
I like, I can't switch it off, and I think
I'm on lowly young side of TikTok so like because
(08:14):
I like watching.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
When bringing all the comments and all that kind of thing.
I just see.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Yeah, but it's like it's sickening how much to hear
that bloody song. It makes me dislike it. It's like
I know, but I also like, I'm so happy that
it's resonating. It's just like the best feeling in the world.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
It's just got to be strange, a little strange because
you said it's kind of like a rage breakup song,
and then you see people just dancing to it. Yeah, yeah, dance.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
It's cute.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
I find it all really cute and then daring and
wonderful that they chose to use my song.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
I mean, Kylie Jenner used it the other day.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Hey, so, hey, hey you Lola yah so being an
artist and I know that you, like I said earlier,
you really get off on performing then and watching you
perform that song, I mean, there's there's there's drama in
the way you present your song, and I think it's
just it's all from the heart, it's all authentic.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
But what about this part of it?
Speaker 4 (09:05):
People asking you how you feel about this and how
you feel about that. I know it's a part of
the machine. Is it a part of the machine that
you enjoy or I do?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I do?
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I think if I'm in the right state of mind,
I think. And there's aspects of this job which can
be like training, and this isn't one of them actually
getting asked questions, because it's quite nice to actually be like,
have people interested and here, you know, for the people
who enjoy the music, so hear a little bit about
the backstory or you know, it's just you know, I'm
I'm a bit of a narciss So.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
I like hearing about myself.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
No, not really, but I'm saying, like, you know, I like,
I like talking about myself some times.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Tell us about you. Yeah, I don't mind that.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
That's my favorite line. Enough about me? What do you
think about me? You said a Coachella? Let's talk about Coachella?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
No, not really. Have you done a major, major, major
show like a Coachella?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Right, So I don't know.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
You know, I've heard from friends who've been on stage
at these events where you have trillion people watching. There's
so many people you don't really think about it as
a crowd anymore. You think about it as this big, one,
huge monster. Yeah right, But like at the Rockies of
the Night, you were performing for like thirty forty people,
what I mean fifty?
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Do you is that more nerve wracking with it? Yes?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Because you can see BOP's faces. Yeah, that's what always thinking.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
You.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
The bigger the crowd, the better because you don't see anybody,
and you can't you don't have to like focus in.
You just see a people and it makes easy if
you see like your bloody ax there and he's you
know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
It's like that.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
That's kind of what you feel. You connect more to
the music because it's so intense. You can see everyone's
little faces, like you don't think of everyone in their
underwear like they used to say, oh, when you're looking out,
I've tried that.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
I know they're just laughing.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
I'm going to take off my clothes and let you
see me in my underwear right now?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Do you what you're of us?
Speaker 4 (10:54):
You're going to vomit all over the place when you
see this naked chest Lola. You know, look, you're this
is something you've been working on for a while. This
is not an overnight success. It's not, but it's hit
a new gear you are. It's moving fast in a hole,
your lane is speeding up. I mean, you're across the
(11:15):
pond and you're doing all these shows, this and that.
Do you sort of miss the days where it was
a little more simple and or is this exactly where.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
You want to exactly?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
That is exactly where I need to be right now.
So it's fine, I don't I'm not like I'm not
I'm been waiting this hot sack because.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I'm like happy. That's why any signs to grow and happen.
