Speaker 1 (00:00):
We are backstage at Hot ninety nine to five jingle
Ball and our Mercedes Benz Interview Lounge with the one
and only Addison Ray.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Hi, Hi, how are you?
Speaker 3 (00:11):
I'm good? How are you?
Speaker 1 (00:13):
A kind of like headline banner year for you, especially
in this back half. If we needed to like break
out our emotion wheel? Have you ever ever seen like
a wheel of emotions? Yes, I'm sad, I also feel
this y right, let me bring out this therapy talk.
If we had to break out the wheel of emotions,
what emotion do we assign to? Just like the reaction
(00:35):
from fans of everything happening this year, the reaction to
diet pepsi, where.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Do we place it?
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Grateful, thankful, happy, honored?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Have you heard diet pepsi while you've been like out
and about, like not knowing it was going to come on?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
And what is that? Like? It's weird, Like, oh my god, it's.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Definitely like I don't know, I don't know how to
feel about it because it's such an exciting thing, but
it's also like, I don't know. The music and writing
music is such like a magical thing on its own
that it's hard to even accept that it's or say
that it's mine. You know, it feels like such a
universal thing and when it happens and it clicks, it's
super powerful.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
So it's really cool, right you.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Every artist, every kind of creative goes through this thing
where like they find their lane, Like who am I
going to be as an artist? You've kind of while
doing that, have pivoted from being a persona to now
a persona and an artist.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
What has that like looked like for you?
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Trying to like find the lane that I want to
go down, Like, who is actually right now?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Right? I think it's I've grown a lot. I've grown
up a lot. I mean when I first moved to
La I was nineteen. I just turned nineteen, So I
think I just have changed because of life and experiences,
but also just trusting my gut and trusting that what
I like someone out there is going to like and
not thinking too hard about it.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Trusting your gut's a really good thing to have as
like a trade early on in your career.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Yeah, like, actually that doesn't feel good right, right? Or
you know, or if this feels amazing yes?
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Yeah said yeah, yeah, I think if it's not a
yes immediately it's no. And kind of same the other
way around, you know sometimes, but yeah, trusting my gut.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
You've talked while on this journey, especially this year, about
working with Charlie and your relationship with Charlie, how she's
given your perspective and you admire her taste and you
actually you said this one thing in an interview that
I saw last week. Will getting ready to talk to
you tonight. If you get it, you get it. If
you don't, you will eventually.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
And I thought that.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I was like, oh my, and in that moment, everything
like Addison Ray clicked for me. I was like, Okay,
So I'm curious if that was like an off the
cuff thing or if that is something that is like
in your mind when you're creating.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
I feel like I don't ever expect everything to be
understood necessarily or think that it all will be, but
I trust that the people who are meant to find
it will. I think Charlie says it in Beed Drive,
the girls that need to know already now right, And
honestly that's the reason why I thought that, because I
was like, wow, she when she said that, it made
(03:08):
so much sense. And I think she's one to truly
be an example of that, because she's had such a long,
amazing career, and you know, people are catching on to
even just stuff that she's put out years ago and
being like, what, how did we not know about this?
But She's like, you know, if you knew, you knew,
and if you didn't, now you do.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
And the same for anybody discovering obsessed or nothing on
about the radio right now we have to get the
nothing on about the radio plug and I'm in the
year twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
That's I love that song.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
I love that song.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Obviously on stage with Charlie and Troyitt Madison Square Garden, thoughts, comments, concerns, reactions.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Are you speechless? What is that speechless?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I was speechless.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
It was really scary, but it was so much fun.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
And luckily Charlie and Troy are both just amazing people
on stage and off the stage, so I felt really comfortable.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Yeah, I would imagine that's like crazy memory.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
It was crazy.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
I know, It's definitely something I'll never forget.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Last question, jingle Ball is our favorite holiday tradition. As
you can probably tell by the energy around here today.
What are your favorite holiday traditions? Eating, sleeping, Finally, taking.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
A break, resting, finishing your lappy. Happy.
