Oh well I had been forever.
So -- the -- going we can't wait to see you here June 30 this during -- the garden.
I know I have heard a lot about it really pretty in them I'm excited to come. Where you know and that don't go had been in up fighters -- making for the it's finally coming out with single. Is. On the road. You know promoting -- mostly had to keep gone back and forth between Arab Americans. My brain is is a little. Brad about. On yes.
Pretty good timing for you to be in buffalo June 30 because the album we've all been there comes out what what the day before on the twenty ninth.
It has misses that -- really important -- it's almost like a release party and away and that's like except themselves and then a labor of love for years and really have. Crazy crazy experience to get out but going to be exciting data. Actually that out now. -- I can believe it will be for real.
Did did did all this start then back when you're with the calling is the calling overtake is through the whole process there if you can't.
Yeah I mean a credit the quick explanation is the -- calling within the X-Factor fighting under fair and as -- people like. There wasn't really -- that was in the band. And no it really understood that it would kind of confusing. And.
That's okay the best songs in the best artists are often misunderstood or not understood at all.
So I decided I would like you know it's gonna go so and I'm glad. It's over with and there is it. Expected forever highway and then. This led to gunfire outside with Interscope. Universal. And pretty much it was just one of the situation where you know critically we. But it has -- just went on forever I wanna. Making it the candidate gained that I had been making and they want -- With Timbaland thank and sound like everything there's. I first heard you know get the outlook they've wanted to make. And want to -- Like -- and LA. Definitely -- part. Like inaudible businesses that that's the best. I actually decided to believe the label and -- of finish out from. And which are fortunate that comes out and about making my own record label. And trading everything myself and now Ariane. Finally after all these years you know putting this album now -- You know really running so much so.
And it now everything you just mentioned let's all our listeners know it's just not he is easy as it all looks -- you guys make it all look.
Like. -- it's not the case. Is. So much work goes into this album and and so much time -- and in. You know it's really my Michael world in my life. And you know even visit the battle to get it out. Is really not even the art art -- is now. You know doing the work is traveling in. You know in the last four months. Ago in absolutely everywhere in Annan stopped but that's just is just the beginning. It's a lot of work. You know but it's that's what I want to do in the you know the positive -- army.
We've been we've been playing tonight for awhile now we love that smooth -- feel it has and I'm watching the video here wait which you do it all the stunts for. That this video it to it reeks of twilight talk about it there's vampires there's when --
And so. Four years ago I wrote the song and I that was one of the first song -- wrote this double and then. It does -- that -- via underworld of its back. Like into the vampire thing of the hour with some garlic vampire love story side. Before the twilight franchise will open them are very solid stuff -- night I had the idea of video on you know if I had this. Ideas in the timing of its interest saying that. Everything has kind of come out since. Went you know finally make this video out here I just I'm or -- in Hollywood. And they have got my friends together. Maybe you know crazy little mini movie video. You know. With what you know limited funds that we -- it's something that looks pretty incredible I got.
It really does yeah.
You have -- of twilight the bill and all the -- at Angel pop classic can't fly over to meet pearl on every day. Social aspects only I had the director that's -- this first video he directs vampire -- and society or. Because a lot of TV directing and you know so that it was really cool to to build America. You know a little -- many Hollywood movie.
And the best place to see the video is Alex band not Alex -- dot net you're -- official official website yeah.
I attend the inmates here whatever.
I I -- the feeling that that onstage here's what I think is gonna happen it's starry night a legal you know obviously the people milieu from tonight and your hits with the calling. But onstage they don't know what type of performer you are and I have a feeling you go to a lot of cities and Canada that's elks band in the annual wild the crowd by the time your stage time is over.
I know you can do -- with a primarily female audience they would appreciate that.
Our aerial that I would that I out there and everybody -- bush and you know beauty -- play. All the songs people are calling hopefully by the antenna and and I play. You know all the new materials well. A lot cover songs in the which you really pitched.
You mentioned the Santana hit did you write. Why don't you and I.
It's actually the one -- I've ever put out there had been right -- political backed group that.
All that's why Africa about that daddy is that as well my favorite. Not like number one smash hits of all time what did the production everything we talked about working with Santana did you even meet Carlos during mattered and that they -- studio alone.
I don't -- music video with -- did he says listen I've played chose within. You know that was number one we did tons oppressive probable -- You know that a lot of work with and needs so that whole experience when that it's a real early goes. So having to work with you know haven't. Quote -- that's incredible but really actually have to think Chad because. You know he had the original court today. And for whatever reason I think Nichols had now coming out in a clash with like tiny lives to -- sodomy as. Or the placement could elect my voice and he. Actually went up to Vancouver recorded. The vocal and and then we took from their sound like the face of the single voice.
We're getting a lot into the business of music with Alex -- hand this morning. A lot of that. Good but oh we haven't even gotten to the dirty stuff yet.
