Another great track from Nancy Manet, who is here with us.
Speaker 16 (13:13):
Online via teams. I think, hey, Nancy, are you there, Hey,
I am, can you hear me? Excellent? Yeah, no, you
sound great.
Speaker 11 (13:20):
Welcome to the program, welcome back, Thank you, absolutely, So
tell us about so at the top of the hour,
we played Hey Little Brother, and and it looks like
that's been pretty successful for you as a single.
Speaker 21 (13:34):
It has, Yeah, And you know, I know you you
talk with so many amazing artists, and we're always surprised, right,
you know, we have our personal favorites are the ones
that you know, we think will land, you know, very
strongly with people, and then one that just takes off
(13:54):
and you kind of like wow, you know, and and yeah,
it did, it did, and I'm really excited about it.
Speaker 11 (14:04):
So what you sound surprised though, I mean, is there
is there something about the song that you didn't think
it was? Maybe as commercially viable as as it turned
out to be.
Speaker 21 (14:12):
Or really really good question. No, I think I was
just super playful about about the song. And you know,
it was for It was for a very good friend
of mine who is ten years younger, and I call
him my little brother and he always calls me sis,
and I just I just wrote this fun, playful song
(14:35):
really kind of you know, as a tribute to him.
And and you know, I mean, like because a lot
of the other songs that we you know, that I write,
that we've even talked about, are heavily thematic in the
sense of like I've got something very strong and and
this was just just love and encouragement for my little bro.
(14:56):
And uh, yeah, I'm excited because it is for the
all of little brothers out there. Yeah, you know, yeah,
for sure. So that's the reason, you know, because it
just was one of those, you know, the people that
that I love in my life, I'll write songs for them.
Speaker 11 (15:12):
Yeah, that's very cool. Is this is this the most
successful single you've had thus.
Speaker 21 (15:18):
Far in commercial radio? Yes? Excellent, Yes, absolutely absolutely yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (15:27):
And then and this is from the album is Paths
And when did this come out? This is this is
your newest release. Obviously my newest release.
Speaker 21 (15:36):
It came out in May, okay, yeah, and so uh hey,
Little Brother hit the airwaves in May and it's just
been going ever since.
Speaker 11 (15:51):
Okay, so okay, and you've you've recorded quite a few,
right now? How many albums have you recorded?
Speaker 16 (15:57):
Now?
Speaker 11 (15:57):
Because it seems like a you've recorded a lot in
a relatively short span of time.
Speaker 21 (16:03):
You really want to know the number, like the actual
album number we're working on. I can't see your face,
so I'm getting like, yeah, nodding your head.
Speaker 16 (16:14):
Yes, oh, yes.
Speaker 21 (16:16):
We are and high gen by the way, we are
working on album number five.
Speaker 16 (16:24):
This is wow. You're working on number five right now?
Speaker 21 (16:28):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (16:28):
Oh wow?
Speaker 16 (16:31):
Been completed in what a span of what? Two years?
Speaker 17 (16:35):
Yes?
Speaker 16 (16:36):
That's that's great.
Speaker 21 (16:38):
The first, the first, The first album took longer to
write because I was in the process of should I
write an album?
Speaker 10 (16:47):
Right?
Speaker 21 (16:47):
Should?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
What?
Speaker 21 (16:48):
What would I want to well not even what would
I want to write about? I pretty much knew what
I wanted to write about, but it was more of
the can I right? It was the can question? Can
I do it?
Speaker 19 (17:00):
Not?
Speaker 21 (17:00):
Can I do it? From a skill set? Can I
do it? Because I you know can.
Speaker 19 (17:06):
I do it?
Speaker 21 (17:06):
Because I was always told I couldn't, right, So in
twenty twenty I had to start kind of you know,
doing that my own healing process of like wait, yeah,
of course I can, Yes, I can.
Speaker 12 (17:17):
Do that, you know.
Speaker 21 (17:19):
Yeah, Like wait, I was I told I couldn't, and
then I listened to it, you know. So there was
a lot of that I had to get through to
get that first album written. But then which really would
be probably the first one and two and then three,
four and five have been in the last year.
Speaker 11 (17:36):
Okay, wow, yeah, that's that's a lot of output in
a short time. Do you think putting out so much
music is what has led to your current chart success
with A Hey Little Brother?
Speaker 21 (17:48):
Oh you know yeah, yeah, I mean I guess I've
never thought about it that way, but yeah, well I
will say this, just the churning of music maybe is
not the complete answer, because you know, first of all,
(18:12):
writing music, the more you write anything, right, the more
you do anything, the better we become at it. Right.
So plenty of songs, Matt, that I've written and I've
gone you know, or or they've started one way and
I've shelfed them and I've pulled off and I've either
completely you know, cut and pasted and just moved around,
(18:36):
or just scrapped tons of the lyrics and I took
the theme, or sometimes I just completely start over with
a new melody. But the ideas are there, right, And
so there's that component.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Then there's.
Speaker 21 (18:52):
I have a great producer, I really do, and he
challenges me. And the one that we're we're in the
process right now, the number five. There were some songs
when we sat down, I've submitted everything. We sat down
and I said, okay, I want to bring my thoughts
and he's bringing his thoughts, and you know, a couple
(19:15):
of our thoughts actually aligned and.
Speaker 7 (19:18):
Meaning.
Speaker 21 (19:19):
Like one of the songs, I said, I think this
one needs to be revisited, and it was on his.
Speaker 17 (19:23):
List, right.
Speaker 21 (19:25):
And he's always pushing and always challenging and always reminding
me to do something different and expand my my my
even my skill set. Just keep growing, keep growing as
a musician, Nancy, keep growing as a singer, and show
growth every single thing you do and write. Push yourself
(19:47):
further and further and further. And it's been it's yeah,
So that's a longer version. Probably the answer to that
question for now, for hey, little brother, because because of
all of that, and I listen, you know, I think
having the right collaborators and and then being willing to
(20:10):
listen to what the feedback is and and push and
stretch and grow, and you know, even musically, I'll do
things that that I've never even tried before.
Speaker 16 (20:23):
And yeah, you know, yeah, well, have you worked with
the same Has it been the same producer for each project?
Speaker 21 (20:29):
It has been?
Speaker 16 (20:30):
It has been okay.
Speaker 11 (20:31):
Yeah, so you definitely found somebody who you can work
with who brings out the best in you and has
a lot of ideas. And that's great too, because you know,
a lot of artists they don't want to hear a
lot of artists don't want to hear ideas necessarily, you
know what I mean. They want to go in and
they know what they want to do, and and you know,
the producer doesn't always know best necessarily. But it sounds
(20:51):
like the person you're working with, who are they, by
the way, what what's their name? We should give them credit?
Speaker 17 (20:58):
Oh?
Speaker 21 (20:58):
Absolutely, David person full with Yellow Dog Studios, And yeah,
so he's been he's been in the industry for forty
plus years. Right, He's a Grammy winning producer, has some
very notable bands and experience under felt. And the thing
about David Percival is that he never stops pushing himself. So,
(21:25):
you know, the older that we get, we get, we
tend to get stuck right in our style or our
ways or this is the way we do something. And
he's constantly experimenting. So if I you know, I mean,
I'm working with somebody who that is what he holds
himself to. Of course I'm I'm going to hold myself
(21:45):
to that. I also, you know, I'm that's also kind
of who I am. Never in my twenties, man, I
coined well, I think it was already coined, but I
heard it somewhere and then I made it mine right,
never stop being teachable, Always be teachable, And that just
meant a lifetime of curiosity and learning and listening. And
(22:09):
you know, we have an agreement that that if he
feels super strongly about something, he's really just I mean,
he is going to tell me. And I don't like
something that comes across in production, I'm I'm.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Going to tell him.
Speaker 21 (22:28):
Like on the past album and people may have loved it,
I could not I couldn't do it in the song
that was in we had a Glockenspiel, and I'm like, Dave,
it's got to come out. That's all I hear. And
he was like, Nancy, it's so fun I'm like, it's
gonna drive me nuts. And now post production and post mastering, right,
(22:48):
I'm like, now I only hear it, but nobody else
knew what was there? Oh?
Speaker 16 (22:52):
Interesting?
Speaker 21 (22:52):
Okay, yeah, yeah, it's funny.
Speaker 11 (22:55):
So now did you go on I saw someone about
a radio tour? Did you go on a big radio
tour for uh?
Speaker 22 (23:03):
I did?
Speaker 21 (23:05):
Just yes, and we're now we just spent so much
time in the studio. I had to decide, Okay, what
are what are the priorities? What what do we need
to finish? What do we are? Because you can only
go be so many places at once, right, that would
(23:25):
be one exactly, I can only be in one place
at one time.
Speaker 7 (23:32):
And so.
Speaker 21 (23:34):
Yes, so now we're so. Yes, we did the big
radio tour, we did shows. Then we've just been hunkered
down either in my home writing or doing things locally,
doing private events and in the studio. So now we're
gearing up to get back out, you know, to be
on the road again.
Speaker 11 (23:54):
Yeah, absolutely, and then so what what's the plan long
term as far as is that us Free going to
be the next single?
Speaker 16 (24:01):
Did I understand that correctly?
Speaker 10 (24:03):
Yes?
Speaker 21 (24:03):
It is okay thank you, which which is very anthemic.
Speaker 22 (24:08):
Right.
Speaker 21 (24:08):
So I wrote it with really specific intent, and we
did drop it first in January, but I will tell you, Matt,
I dropped it on January sixth. Yeah, and I was
and I'm just going to be as raw and as
vulnerable and we're just going to let it land where
(24:31):
it landed. And you know, plus I talked with my therapist.
I was actually scared, really like we just we just
did what. We just dropped what song on January sixth.
That's basically saying we don't want It's not basically it's
flat out saying we don't want what our grandparents built,
(24:51):
and we don't want what our parents thought they could
do without getting caught. Yeah, I'm calling our parents' generation.
Yeah everyone, right, not everyone, very specifically. I'm making some
statements and I'm making them based upon what I've listened to,
you know, always remain teachable. I'm listening to what younger
(25:14):
generations are saying, and they're saying, we don't want that
we don't want. We don't even want what all of
you guys went out to scrap and build and work
so hard and all the stuff you've accumulated. We don't
want it. We don't want that. We don't want war, right,
we want to get wrong?
Speaker 16 (25:34):
And yeah, did you did you say it?
Speaker 11 (25:37):
Because we've talked about the song before too. Was there
something too about a conversation, a specific conversation that.
Speaker 16 (25:42):
You had with your daughter. Am I remembering that correctly?
Speaker 21 (25:45):
That's what started the whole thing, was that she sat
me down and just you know, said, there's a better
way to do business, mom, There's a better way to
do life where you're not so exhaust because right, I mean,
we were taught to do it all and we hadn't
to do it all, and we had to do it
(26:06):
all with energy and never sleep. And it's the work ethic.
And there's nothing wrong with the work ethic. Or my
daughter's got a fantastic work ethic.
Speaker 16 (26:15):
Yeah, she's an.
Speaker 21 (26:16):
Amazing life where she actually builds in respite and she
isn't driving herself into the ground by thirty nine years old, right, Yeah,
So that's what I was doing. I was driving myself
into the ground at thirty nine. It's true.
Speaker 16 (26:32):
Yeah, yeah, laughing.
Speaker 21 (26:35):
Yeah, I made it mad. I made it past forty.
But they said I wouldn't right right, I didn't shift.
And I think it's also the amount of stress and
the amount of anger and the amount of hate. And
she's like, Mom, it's just we we don't want it.
We don't want a world like that anymore.
Speaker 11 (26:52):
Yeah, you're yeah, you you right about a lot of
I mean obviously, like you said, hey, little brother is playful,
but you you write a lot about a lot of
heavy stuff.
Speaker 16 (27:05):
I do. I do.
Speaker 21 (27:10):
I'm kind of laughing because there's some things I've not
I've not to put music to. But I just I'm write,
you know. And as soon as I got off the
phone with my daughter, I sat down and I wrote,
I actually, yeah, I wrote those lyrics. I wrote those
specifically after that conversation because I was so moved by
(27:33):
what to say. Yeah, so came to January. I was
actually pretty afraid of how that could land. Really, yeah,
I was. Actually I think nobody understood what was going
to happen in come January. I don't think we still do.
We're trying to navigate, and there was there was you know,
(27:58):
I mean, Matt, you know some of my backstory there
was there was some old patriarchal and there's nothing wrong
with men, right that this is not an anti men thing, right,
But for me, that old model was very much what
really kept me silent. Why I had to ask myself,
can I do this right?
Speaker 8 (28:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 21 (28:20):
That's actually why, because I came from that old model
that that really held or holds a lot of people down,
of people down, and so yes, of course when that
came out, it's like, oh oh, but we're leading off
with it next month.
Speaker 16 (28:38):
So yeah, for long.
Speaker 21 (28:40):
I was just quiet about it for a few months.
Speaker 11 (28:44):
Has that changed it all, by the way over the
course of because you know, like we talked about, you've
been creating a lot of music. Has your has your
approach or your priorities in terms of what you're singing about?
Has that changed it all over the course of that,
because obviously in the beginning, you know, you had a
lot to get out. At this point, are you still
trying to work all that out through the songs or
(29:07):
or or has as yours as your your priorities in
terms of what you sing about changed at all?
Speaker 21 (29:13):
So what you're saying that, is, am I still singing
about loss and trauma?
Speaker 16 (29:21):
Yeah? Well I suppose I am, Yes, Well, because that.
Speaker 21 (29:26):
First work was really what I what I had done
is I had weaved a story of my life. Yeah,
and so that was a lot of a lot of
that was I would say every song that was on
that first work or the first two, right, because we've
got a longer work that we did not release yet,
and I would say that I had already gone through
(29:50):
and processed that stuff. But now I'm putting it to
music in a way that may and the hope is
that it would resonate with others that are going through that.
Speaker 7 (29:59):
Right.
Speaker 21 (30:01):
But yes, the trauma and things like that. So the
answer to that question is I still write from life,
and I write from happy life, and I write from
difficult life, and I write from painful life, and that
(30:25):
that part is not going to change. I Oh, gosh,
how do I want to say that? There are just
different styles of writers?
Speaker 16 (30:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 21 (30:37):
And and sure do I want my music to be
toe tapping. I want it to be, you know, drawing
in or a lot of ballads. I'm a ballad writer too, right,
and so I want those to draw people, you know,
My hope is that it draws people. But then but
then eventually the lyrics hit right, like on the the
(30:59):
number four I've written a song about and they're not
coming out in that order, just so that's clear, right, like, yeah,
we're not putting them. So the technically the first album
has not been released, and that won't be that'll be
actually hanging out there for a while. The long one
that you and I originally talked about, Okay, the seventeen
(31:21):
song you know, rock Opera is right, it's a lot
to digest. And my advisors really said, they're like, just
let's let's write write albums for right now. Let's wait
to bring that out. And that's that was the best advice.
And if any artists are listening, listen to the advisors
(31:42):
that have been in this world forever.
Speaker 16 (31:45):
Yeah, just listen to.
Speaker 21 (31:46):
What they're saying. And so in next year a song's
going to come out. That's about one of my best
friends who lost her husband after thirty eight years of marriage,
and it's her journey over the last four years of
what she had to do to move on and just
her thought processes in song format.
Speaker 19 (32:07):
Right.
Speaker 21 (32:08):
So when I first wrote it, it was probably eight minutes longer.
Ye kept writing and writing and writing. I'm like, Okay,
now I have to trim trim, trim trim, And then
it was still very long. It was still five minutes,
and I'm like, nope, got a trim trim trim, trim trim.
So uh, yeah, I do I write from life. I
write for my own life. I believe in therapy, I
(32:30):
believe in healing, and and things always come up. They
always come up. But I will say thematically. I wouldn't
necessarily from my own maybe because my life is settled
a little bit. No, maybe for my own personal trauma
it's not so heavy. But I'm still writing thematically about
(32:53):
things that I think about, Yeah, right, things that I
see happening in the world, things that are happening to
people I know, see things that are just happening. Another
one that's coming out addresses it addresses loss that's sudden,
but it addresses it's specifically written about school shootings because
(33:17):
I have a nephew that was in a school that
in December had had a student shoot up a classroom.
Oh my god, it is yes, And when that touches
that close to home, my nephew is fine. But I
know staff at that school. It was where my kids
grew up, where I raised them, and it hit home
(33:39):
very strongly. It was, you know, the school's three doors
away from where my kids grew up, and so friends
and teachers and community members in Madison, Wisconsin all were affected. Right,
everybody has been rocked and turned upside down. And that's
just that's not it. There's not even a great way
(34:00):
to say it, right, it's just horrible, horrible and horrible.
But then there's lighter songs, right of course. Yeah, for
all the generation exers, we have one that's coming out too.
So yeah, yeah, all right, answered your question.
Speaker 16 (34:19):
Yeah, no, absolutely absolutely, And I know too.
Speaker 11 (34:22):
You know, you're right, you write a lot about you know,
advocacy for LGBTQ plus and I think that's important too,
especially in the you know, the times we're living in.
Speaker 21 (34:31):
Yes, so on the one we're in the middle of
right now, I have one that very much specifically deals
with their freedoms and uh are Hispanic friends? Yeah, absolutely, yeah, yes, Okay,
I don't even know what to say. You know, I'm
(34:53):
born and raised in a suburb of LA and I
live in Houston, and.
Speaker 16 (35:00):
Yeah, yeah, you no, doubt know people or have known
people who are affected. You no doubt know a lot
of people who have been affected by what's happening, or
or are worried about being affected.
Speaker 11 (35:13):
By what's happening. Yes, yeah, scary, scary stuff, but but
you know, certainly worth making music about. You know, that's
that's I mean, you know, that's one of the best
delivery systems for for for putting, you know, trying to
put a message out there and expressing your concern about
what's going on.
Speaker 16 (35:28):
You know.
Speaker 21 (35:29):
Yeah, you know, man in my writing, I I hope
to be a bridge. So the last name Manet, actually
you know it's it's the artist who bridge to generations
of art, right. I take his example from realism to Impressionism.
(35:53):
He taught money, and I thought about my life and
just where I've been throughout my life and the opportunities
I've been given, and where I tend to settle or
not settle as far as like I'm settling, but where
I land, right, Yeah, and tend to land is in
a space of bridging, right, Bridging two schools of thought,
(36:18):
bridging two generations. You know, we've got the younger generation
and the older generation, and it's it's hopefully like if
you could see me, my hands are all stretched out
why bridging thoughts and ideas and helping to cross this
divide And if anything that I write can can even
(36:41):
just cause pause and for people to think even things lighter.
You know, hey, little brother, right, it is a light
and fun song. But if we listen, you know you
aren't afraid to lead the way into the unknown. That
means you're daring.
Speaker 23 (36:58):
As a little brother to the world right to like
venture out side of what you were told even as
a child you had to be like right, you're not
afraid to do.
Speaker 21 (37:11):
It, and you're leading the way on it, and and
and so those have certain themes in it of encouragement
and stepping out of who you know what always has
been and asking why. And we're not all going to agree,
and we were never supposed to all agree.
Speaker 23 (37:30):
I just don't think we were supposed to be positioned with,
you know, war heads at each other.
Speaker 21 (37:37):
All the time. I just don't think that that the
plan either, right, So you know, Matt, you know how
when you tune a guitar, it takes tension, right, It
takes tension to tune a string to bring it into
the right frequency to bring it into harmony. And the
only way to do that is we have to have tension.
(37:58):
But if we have too much tension, it snaps right
enough you can't even tell what it is right.
Speaker 16 (38:06):
Exactly. Oh, Nancy just froze.
Speaker 7 (38:14):
Whoops.
Speaker 16 (38:15):
Uh oh her screen is her screen is frozen?
Speaker 13 (38:20):
Oh no, uh.
Speaker 16 (38:24):
Yeah, well she did mention she was having an internet issues.
Speaker 18 (38:27):
Yeah, that has been a bit of an issue for
her today. Okay, I wonder if she's like, is she
in the city or out in.
Speaker 16 (38:33):
The I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 11 (38:35):
It is late in the show. Oh, it's probably her
on the phone. Good goody, Nancy?
Speaker 16 (38:41):
Is that you?
Speaker 17 (38:43):
It is? My power went down again?
Speaker 11 (38:45):
Oh okay, yeah, all of a sudden, it froze the screen.
I noticed the screen was frozen. I said, oh, that's
why she's not talking.
Speaker 17 (38:55):
Yeah. Yeah, all right, Well, so I hope this is okay.
Speaker 11 (39:00):
Yeah, absolutely, okay, Yeah, no, that's fine. Uh yeah, We're
we're getting We're we're gonna have to wrap up soon anyway.
Speaker 16 (39:06):
But I'm glad.
Speaker 11 (39:07):
I'm glad you were able to call in because I
do want to ask you about to finish out the segment.
We're going to play this track. Oh, son of mine,
this is another one of the songs that you sent
us that that I really like, and I wanted you
to tell us about this, uh you know, any anything
we should know about this track?
Speaker 17 (39:24):
Yeah, thank you. Well, it was a toss up for
which one was going to radio next this one or
set us Free. So we did. We did a test market,
and not because it isn't a great track. We just
had some people feedback like the time was now right, yeah,
set us free? But here is what uh, well, well,
(39:45):
it's a very personal song to me because it was
written for my son. And my son is thirty years
old now. But you know, he at twenty two bought
a house and when COVID hit, he sold that house
and moved to the Houston region and ended up having
(40:06):
to live off the proceeds of what he sold his
house for. And he was really bummed and he felt,
you know, he felt like a failure. He had trouble
getting back on his feat, he had trouble getting work again,
and it's taken him a while to dig back out.
And in his discouragement, I wrote this song and sent
(40:32):
it to him and I said, anytime you're feeling low,
I want you to hear this. And even some other
friends of mine that were talking about their sons and
the discouragements that they were feeling, and I said, so
this is for our sons out there, no matter no
matter who you are or where they are. Everybody that
(40:54):
I've ever talked to their sons have gone through you know,
down cycle, and they've had back up and and I
I my my bigger and broader hope for this song
is that that young sons, you know, in that twenty something,
you know, teenage years, that they may find encouragement and
(41:16):
hope that they can keep going and they can start again,
and they can they can always rebuild, and they can
always always remember that they are loved.
Speaker 16 (41:27):
Excellent.
Speaker 11 (41:27):
No, I think that's fantastic and certainly very relatable. So
we're gonna play that in a moment. One more thing, Nancy,
where should people go online to keep up with everything
that you're doing and find your music and and everything
you got going on. Where's the best place to go?
