I do want to ask a little bit about how you came to the sounds. I did interview you a couple of years ago and you told me, my grandma, she would want me to be singing Pavarotti. And [then] I heard "Mio Cristo," [and] you are full in operatic technical excellence.
It took me a year, it took me a year! It took me so long to crack that one.
My grandma [sent me a message] this morning, maybe I can play the audio. [Plays voice memo] She's like, I heard your new song and I loved it, you changed the style, ha ha ha. She's laughing a lot, that I'm doing this now, because I think she didn't see it coming. When I was a kid, [my grandma] would have a lot of Pavarotti records in her place. And she would always be singing while she was washing dishes or whatever. It's funny because it stuck with me. She would say, you know, how could you study flamenco?
The real deal, for her, it was classical music and classical trained voices. I was like, one day I'm going to make a song that my grandma is going to be like, okay, now you got it.
