00:00We're here with the beautiful Raven Lynnae. I mean, what a year for you. You just dropped
00:06Bird's Eye, which, by the way, SZA called her favorite album of 2024. Wow. And you collaborated
00:12with Ty Dolla $ign, Childish Gambino. I mean, what was it like when you're getting the recognition
00:17and collaboration with some of these peers?
00:20Honestly, it's such a dream come true. You know, I put in a lot of years, a lot of work,
00:26so it's so good to really feel the love and the excitement and I don't know, just the
00:32overall love around me and the project. So it's been so beautiful.
00:36And I mean, you're not slowing down anytime soon. You're opening for Sabrina Carpenter
00:42this year. I mean, what does Sabrina mean and her music mean to you?
00:46I think Sabrina is the epitome of fun, of flashy, of just really leaning into your femininity,
00:54but in a fun, raw way. And I think we need artists like that, especially in pop, you
01:00know, to just be that person for young girls, for women that like to express themselves
01:06and maybe it's not perfect all the time, you know, but that representation is so important
01:11right now, for sure.
01:12Absolutely, absolutely. And who is a woman in music that's inspiring you right now?
01:17A woman in music that's inspiring me? Ooh, I would say Mariba. I'm a really big fan of
01:24Mariba. Yeah, all the black women in music, for sure, do a lot for me and empower me to
01:32keep going.
01:33Yeah.
01:34Absolutely. And I completely agree with you. And it seems like you're getting the recognition
01:37that you deserve.
01:38Thank you so much.
01:39Absolutely.
01:40You're a proud woman. It's really nice to meet you.
