six five. Today Lauren is joining us. Hey, loo's what's
your problem?
Speaker 6 (03:05):
Look? This one's a bit prickly, guys, because I've been
on Tinder recently and I've found my friend, well she's
not really my friend, she's kind of an acquaintance, and
her boyfriend is on Tinder?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Do you know if they're still dating though they could
have broken up?
Speaker 6 (03:23):
Nah, man, they're still together. I see them on instat
all the time.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Oh. I feel like if I'm.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
Seeing him, he's surely seeing me, and so he'd know that.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
I know.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Do you think that there's a chance there could be
in an open relationship? But I feel like we live
in a world now where there's no normal and anything
goes na.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
How do you know he's doing the dirty?
Speaker 6 (03:48):
How do I know? Because I've seen him be an
absolute animal when they're together, but like he flirts with
other people. But I just know that, like she gets jealous,
So I know that they're not in an open relationship.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Do you know what? Okay?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I think that this is more common where you'll see
that someone is on Tinder and then they go, oh,
it's an old profile.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
It just it's deactivated.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
It's just say these days, it's like active two minutes ago?
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Does it?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Back in the day, they just get reserved, and then
you would kind of you'd be stuck between one person saying, Hey,
your boyfriend's on Tinder, and then you go to your
boyfriend and be like, hey, here's your profile. Sarah just
sent me this and he'd go, oh, it's an old one,
and I deactivated because.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
When I deleted hinge earlier in the late last year,
I still had friends a month or two months after,
go I've seen you on Hinge.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
But I deleted it, so you were so that that
actually happened to you.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
So it could be a case where he's not actively
guys he's cheating.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Well, this is it. If I know men, I've seen
a pure of them. None of them have really given
me the razzle dazzle. So I'm assuming that this guy
is definitely cheating. They've been together for three years. I
don't really know it that well, but I'm wondering whether
I say something to her or not.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Part of me wants to say that.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I feel like there's some sort of girl's code where
you should let her know, But then I also kind
of think I don't want to bring that drama into
my life because then you've got to kind of be
there for the aftercare, make sure that they are.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
I don't know, I just slip it.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
If someone had seen your husband Matty j Laura or
my boyfriend Steven, if some if one of my friends
had seen them on a dating app then they were cheating,
and then it comes out in a year or two
years time that they'd seen it and not told me.
I'd be miffed.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Here's what I think you should do.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
I think you should take a screenshot of it, and
I would message her and contact her and I would
preface it with, Hey, you guys might not be together anymore.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
I don't know what the situation is, but I just
know I would want to know.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
I did see Frank on Tinder, and I just felt like,
do without what you will kind of thing like, I'm
sorry if you are together, but I just.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Think the right thing to do was tell you.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Yeah, that's what I would do, Yeah, because otherwise you
might lose sleep on it.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
Yeah, okay, Right, so you don't suggest that I swipe
right and give.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
It a crack, don't sleep with him?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
No, I would stick that.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
I know.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I need to know, Lauren, do you want to swipe bright? Like,
do you find him hot? Or is this was that just.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
I'm kind of always red hot, you know what I mean?
I could give it a crack.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Wait, what a pot twist. I thought you were on
the side.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Of the girl.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
She actually like, if you're a girl's girl let him know.
She's like, I was thinking of banging him all right.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Amy Shark is taking over the show. She's joining us
live in the studio next here on the pick up.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
So excited. I've gain seen the studio today.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Has a brand new album out tomorrow. She's a butterfied
Ozzie Icon, She's got a LOGI, she's got arias, She's
gonna She's here on the pick up. It's Amy Shark.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Hello.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
I just got feels deep inside listening to that song,
like say hi and mess her up. Absolute anthems for me,
Like are they probably the song that people talk about
the most you out of all the albums that you've done.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Yeah, a lot of people, a lot of chicks really
love me at shows. When you start that song, it's
like it's I feel like Harry Styles.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
The squeals are like out of control.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
It's actually really overwhelming right now because I've got a
tour coming up, and I think about this new album,
which is I mean, obviously fire and then I've got
other obviously.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
I mean no, it's fine, the album is fine.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
What was the inspiration behind this album?
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Well, albums for me like I'm always kind of and
I know this sounds really dicky, but I don't mean
it to sound this way. But I'm usually a bit
ahead because like, they take so long to make. So
when I was making Cry Forever, it got signed off
and then there's months and months and months, like and
if I stop writing, then what am I doing? So
I keep writing and then by the time an album
(07:48):
comes around, it's like I've got all these songs to
choose from, like which is the strongest demo, and then
I'll take them into the studio and see what happens.
So with this one, though, I spend a lot of
time seeing the whole album is like a body of work.
Like the especially the first album, I was just throwing
shit at the wall, going I don't know what I'm doing,
I don't know who I am.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I like, here's a bunch of songs and let's hope
for the best.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Whereas by album three, I kind of I kind of
sort of know what I'm doing. I would like to
think and yeah, I could sort of look at all
the songs and be like, Okay, this makes sense, and
this makes for a really.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Awesome body of work start to finish.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
So historically speaking, are you particularly sad on a Sunday,
like like.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Where where I mean? Aren't you? I mean I just
like I yeah it Firstly, thinking of titles for albums suck.
You ask any artist, it sucks. You're like everything cool
is taken. You want something strong and memorable. And Sundays
did turn into a day where I was like, instead
of sitting with my feelings and memories of the past,
(08:47):
I'm just gonna work on this album and finish a
bunch of songs. And so it just turned out to
be a bit of a ritual. And another thing that
made Sunday's better for me was just pasta and wine.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
So that's why the cover is the cover.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
I'm like, wow, Amy's Italian roots.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yeah, I know, I wish when you're writing music there
you say you look at it like a body of work.
But are you writing songs that are purely from your
own experience or do you go Okay, I'm you know, happy,
I'm in a great place in life right now. But
I know that someone's going to really relate to a
breakup song or I've been broken up with before, so
you pull on like a past memory or a past circumstance.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I like, never plan what I write.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
I just always sit with and try and think of
some cool guitar riff or whatever, and then usually I've
had such a colorful life, like there's so many things
to choose from. Yeah, so I usually just let my
subconscious go nuts. And family hasn't always been the greatest
and friends have fallen apart, and I feel like I've
kind of that's that's my skill set is like I'm
(09:47):
you know, I'm not I'm not so young, So it's
always exciting for me to just start a song from
scratch and be like, what's still obviously bothering me? Yeah,
half the time I still learn what's still Like it's fair, Yeah,
it really is. So so yeah, there's no method to it.
Everything's obviously very autobiographical. It's always about me. I can't
(10:08):
read a book. I've seen artists like be like I
read this book and this character really connected.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
I don't know. I just don't work like that.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
You have now officially completed the Blink trifecta, like you
have collaborated with all three members of Blink one eight two.
Did you grow up with an inspiration from Blink one
A two?
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Like?
Speaker 3 (10:25):
What is where did that come from? Of trying to
bring them all into each album.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
I mean, they're my all time favorite band, and I
think because they were like you know when you graduate
from like Spice Girls and Hansen and you're like, oh wow,
there's this cool other side to music in this alternative
world that you learn about and Blink was that for me.
And they weren't just a one off, like they had
(10:50):
song after song and hit after hit and Tom you know,
Tom's voice wasn't perfect, you know, it was really weird
and it was it stood out and he was unapologetically himself.
So I learn a lot from that band to just
like just go for it, just like believe in yourself
and tell stories and that if it's okay if you
don't sound like Mariah Carey or Beyonce.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
So yeah, that means it means yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Well that's on the album track ten My Only Friend.
So if you want to give that a listen, alb
about tomorrow, Amy Shark is heret let's go a break.
When we come back, we're doing headlines or headlines next.
Some headlines are real, some a fake. We're gonna quez
you Amy that with Amy Shark after this on the
pick up, it's time for this everyone. Yeah, we've got
a bunch of headlines here in studio written about our
(11:35):
guest today, Amy Shark. Welcome to the show, Amy.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Some are real, some a fake. Some we've written we've
made up. Our team behind the scenes have written these
are real.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
A very very extensive team. We do have one producer.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
So first one off that Amy Shark bears all the
real reason behind her marine based surname, and you'll never
believe the incident that inspired it.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
It sounds like it could be real. What is it?
It's real? Yeah, what's the incident behind Shark?
Speaker 5 (12:06):
I don't know, but people do write whatever the hell
they want.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
So, yeah, is your surname really Shark or not?
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Not?
Speaker 3 (12:15):
No, it's not. I'm just trying to get her to
explain it. Yeah, look, it's no.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
I just watched Jaws, really really when I was really young,
and it really affected me.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
But it's unusual to be so traumatized by something.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
You're like, how I get over this? I'll put it
in my name of that movie The Screams. Yeah, I
mean the best thing about it. I don't want to
go on about this movie, but.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
It's so brilliant because you don't really see the shark
until like I don't know, like probably forty minutes into
the movie. Like it's so crazy how they build this tension, Yeah,
and suspense.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Do you think about sharks every time you go swimming? Now?
Speaker 3 (12:49):
You like you get in the water and you're like,
even I think of shark even in the pool, like
at night that I'm like, did someone in the bath?
That's one of you.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Next one, Amy Shark reveals the sad reason she is
no longer wearing her wedding ring after keeping marriage to
husband Shane Billings very private.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Yeah, it's over, guys.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
No imagine imagine Yeah, right here, that's what you'll use.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
That's the headline. It's going to come now to.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
No. Yeah, that's that's true. That's true. It actually just
got stolen from a hotel so safe. No, so I
was I remember where I was at, and I'm trying
not to out this hotel because you know, they've been
good to me since. But a very big show that
(13:39):
I was playing, and I remember. I remember it because
I remember having a shower and and I put it
in the little dish thing because I can't wear it
when I play guitar.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Because it like it was decent rock. So it's spun
around a bit.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
So I put it in this dish thing and then
I was leaving to go overseas the next day and
it was nowhere. But I got my my necklace was
still there, so I was kind of like, maybe maybe
Shane picked it up.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Maybe maybe I just I'll look for it in a second.
But it was on.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Yeah, it was gone. I mean, look it was. It
was Shane's idea when I first got signed. He's like,
you know, you should take your wedding ring off. You
know it'll help.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
So he's okay, he knows, he's it's okay, all right.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Last headline, Amy Shark real off fake Amy Shark on
the best investment she's ever made and all it took
was one night in Vegas and a briefcase of cash.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
No, that's fake, that's fair. I'm hoping there's a story there,
all right.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Well, at least you can turn it into some good
old fashioned music. Amy's brand new album, Sunday Sadness, officially
out tomorrow. Give it a stream. We love you, Amy,
and that's us. We're done for the date.
Speaker 3 (14:44):

Back in the day, they just get reserved, and then
you would kind of you'd be stuck between one person saying, Hey,
your boyfriend's on Tinder, and then you go to your
boyfriend and be like, hey, here's your profile. Sarah just
sent me this and he'd go, oh, it's an old one,
and I deactivated because.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
When I deleted hinge earlier in the late last year,
I still had friends a month or two months after,
go I've seen you on Hinge.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
But I deleted it, so you were so that that
actually happened to you.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
So it could be a case where he's not actively
guys he's cheating.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Well, this is it. If I know men, I've seen
a pure of them. None of them have really given
me the razzle dazzle. So I'm assuming that this guy
is definitely cheating. They've been together for three years. I
don't really know it that well, but I'm wondering whether
I say something to her or not.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Part of me wants to say that.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I feel like there's some sort of girl's code where
you should let her know, But then I also kind
of think I don't want to bring that drama into
my life because then you've got to kind of be
there for the aftercare, make sure that they are.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
I don't know, I just slip it.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
If someone had seen your husband Matty j Laura or
my boyfriend Steven, if some if one of my friends
had seen them on a dating app then they were cheating,
and then it comes out in a year or two
years time that they'd seen it and not told me.
I'd be miffed.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Here's what I think you should do.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
I think you should take a screenshot of it, and
I would message her and contact her and I would
preface it with, Hey, you guys might not be together anymore.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
I don't know what the situation is, but I just
know I would want to know.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
I did see Frank on Tinder, and I just felt like,
do without what you will kind of thing like, I'm
sorry if you are together, but I just.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Think the right thing to do was tell you.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Yeah, that's what I would do, Yeah, because otherwise you
might lose sleep on it.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
Yeah, okay, Right, so you don't suggest that I swipe
right and give.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
It a crack, don't sleep with him?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
No, I would stick that.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
I know.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I need to know, Lauren, do you want to swipe bright? Like,
do you find him hot? Or is this was that just.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
I'm kind of always red hot, you know what I mean?
I could give it a crack.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Wait, what a pot twist. I thought you were on
the side.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Of the girl.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
She actually like, if you're a girl's girl let him know.
She's like, I was thinking of banging him all right.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Amy Shark is taking over the show. She's joining us
live in the studio next here on the pick up.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
So excited. I've gain seen the studio today.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Has a brand new album out tomorrow. She's a butterfied
Ozzie Icon, She's got a LOGI, she's got arias, She's
gonna She's here on the pick up. It's Amy Shark.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Hello.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
I just got feels deep inside listening to that song,
like say hi and mess her up. Absolute anthems for me,
Like are they probably the song that people talk about
the most you out of all the albums that you've done.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Yeah, a lot of people, a lot of chicks really
love me at shows. When you start that song, it's
like it's I feel like Harry Styles.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
The squeals are like out of control.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
It's actually really overwhelming right now because I've got a
tour coming up, and I think about this new album,
which is I mean, obviously fire and then I've got
other obviously.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
I mean no, it's fine, the album is fine.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
What was the inspiration behind this album?
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Well, albums for me like I'm always kind of and
I know this sounds really dicky, but I don't mean
it to sound this way. But I'm usually a bit
ahead because like, they take so long to make. So
when I was making Cry Forever, it got signed off
and then there's months and months and months, like and
if I stop writing, then what am I doing? So
I keep writing and then by the time an album
(07:48):
comes around, it's like I've got all these songs to
choose from, like which is the strongest demo, and then
I'll take them into the studio and see what happens.
So with this one, though, I spend a lot of
time seeing the whole album is like a body of work.
Like the especially the first album, I was just throwing
shit at the wall, going I don't know what I'm doing,
I don't know who I am.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I like, here's a bunch of songs and let's hope
for the best.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Whereas by album three, I kind of I kind of
sort of know what I'm doing. I would like to
think and yeah, I could sort of look at all
the songs and be like, Okay, this makes sense, and
this makes for a really.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Awesome body of work start to finish.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
So historically speaking, are you particularly sad on a Sunday,
like like.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Where where I mean? Aren't you? I mean I just
like I yeah it Firstly, thinking of titles for albums suck.
You ask any artist, it sucks. You're like everything cool
is taken. You want something strong and memorable. And Sundays
did turn into a day where I was like, instead
of sitting with my feelings and memories of the past,
(08:47):
I'm just gonna work on this album and finish a
bunch of songs. And so it just turned out to
be a bit of a ritual. And another thing that
made Sunday's better for me was just pasta and wine.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
So that's why the cover is the cover.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
I'm like, wow, Amy's Italian roots.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yeah, I know, I wish when you're writing music there
you say you look at it like a body of work.
But are you writing songs that are purely from your
own experience or do you go Okay, I'm you know, happy,
I'm in a great place in life right now. But
I know that someone's going to really relate to a
breakup song or I've been broken up with before, so
you pull on like a past memory or a past circumstance.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I like, never plan what I write.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
I just always sit with and try and think of
some cool guitar riff or whatever, and then usually I've
had such a colorful life, like there's so many things
to choose from. Yeah, so I usually just let my
subconscious go nuts. And family hasn't always been the greatest
and friends have fallen apart, and I feel like I've
kind of that's that's my skill set is like I'm
(09:47):
you know, I'm not I'm not so young, So it's
always exciting for me to just start a song from
scratch and be like, what's still obviously bothering me? Yeah,
half the time I still learn what's still Like it's fair, Yeah,
it really is. So so yeah, there's no method to it.
Everything's obviously very autobiographical. It's always about me. I can't
(10:08):
read a book. I've seen artists like be like I
read this book and this character really connected.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
I don't know. I just don't work like that.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
You have now officially completed the Blink trifecta, like you
have collaborated with all three members of Blink one eight two.
Did you grow up with an inspiration from Blink one
A two?
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Like?
Speaker 3 (10:25):
What is where did that come from? Of trying to
bring them all into each album.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
I mean, they're my all time favorite band, and I
think because they were like you know when you graduate
from like Spice Girls and Hansen and you're like, oh wow,
there's this cool other side to music in this alternative
world that you learn about and Blink was that for me.
And they weren't just a one off, like they had
(10:50):
song after song and hit after hit and Tom you know,
Tom's voice wasn't perfect, you know, it was really weird
and it was it stood out and he was unapologetically himself.
So I learn a lot from that band to just
like just go for it, just like believe in yourself
and tell stories and that if it's okay if you
don't sound like Mariah Carey or Beyonce.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
So yeah, that means it means yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Well that's on the album track ten My Only Friend.
So if you want to give that a listen, alb
about tomorrow, Amy Shark is heret let's go a break.
When we come back, we're doing headlines or headlines next.
Some headlines are real, some a fake. We're gonna quez
you Amy that with Amy Shark after this on the
pick up, it's time for this everyone. Yeah, we've got
a bunch of headlines here in studio written about our
(11:35):
guest today, Amy Shark. Welcome to the show, Amy.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Some are real, some a fake. Some we've written we've
made up. Our team behind the scenes have written these
are real.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
A very very extensive team. We do have one producer.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
So first one off that Amy Shark bears all the
real reason behind her marine based surname, and you'll never
believe the incident that inspired it.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
It sounds like it could be real. What is it?
It's real? Yeah, what's the incident behind Shark?
Speaker 5 (12:06):
I don't know, but people do write whatever the hell
they want.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
So, yeah, is your surname really Shark or not?
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Not?
Speaker 3 (12:15):
No, it's not. I'm just trying to get her to
explain it. Yeah, look, it's no.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
I just watched Jaws, really really when I was really young,
and it really affected me.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
But it's unusual to be so traumatized by something.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
You're like, how I get over this? I'll put it
in my name of that movie The Screams. Yeah, I
mean the best thing about it. I don't want to
go on about this movie, but.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
It's so brilliant because you don't really see the shark
until like I don't know, like probably forty minutes into
the movie. Like it's so crazy how they build this tension, Yeah,
and suspense.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Do you think about sharks every time you go swimming? Now?
Speaker 3 (12:49):
You like you get in the water and you're like,
even I think of shark even in the pool, like
at night that I'm like, did someone in the bath?
That's one of you.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Next one, Amy Shark reveals the sad reason she is
no longer wearing her wedding ring after keeping marriage to
husband Shane Billings very private.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Yeah, it's over, guys.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
No imagine imagine Yeah, right here, that's what you'll use.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
That's the headline. It's going to come now to.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
No. Yeah, that's that's true. That's true. It actually just
got stolen from a hotel so safe. No, so I
was I remember where I was at, and I'm trying
not to out this hotel because you know, they've been
good to me since. But a very big show that
(13:39):
I was playing, and I remember. I remember it because
I remember having a shower and and I put it
in the little dish thing because I can't wear it
when I play guitar.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Because it like it was decent rock. So it's spun
around a bit.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
So I put it in this dish thing and then
I was leaving to go overseas the next day and
it was nowhere. But I got my my necklace was
still there, so I was kind of like, maybe maybe
Shane picked it up.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Maybe maybe I just I'll look for it in a second.
But it was on.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Yeah, it was gone. I mean, look it was. It
was Shane's idea when I first got signed. He's like,
you know, you should take your wedding ring off. You
know it'll help.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
So he's okay, he knows, he's it's okay, all right.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Last headline, Amy Shark real off fake Amy Shark on
the best investment she's ever made and all it took
was one night in Vegas and a briefcase of cash.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
No, that's fake, that's fair. I'm hoping there's a story there,
all right.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Well, at least you can turn it into some good
old fashioned music. Amy's brand new album, Sunday Sadness, officially
out tomorrow. Give it a stream. We love you, Amy,
and that's us. We're done for the date.
