Host: Our next guest is someone that we all know and are listening to today. Its Florence with us in the studio today!
FLORENCE ON HER MUSIC
The music is something that just comes out of me frankly. I don’t try to force it or anything. When I see, hear, smell, think, dream of something that is worth remembering I will jot it down in my journal and hopefully, it can be used in some sort of capacity. Sometimes they are poems and they stay as poems. And there is not anything wrong with that at all. Sometimes they get changed to songs, like Only If For A Night, and other songs that I have. Those are a magical one. The ones that I can make a chorus, verses and a bridge to it and make it come alive. Its absolutely extraordinary really.
FLORENCE ON WHAT IS HAPPENING NEXT
Well a music video for the song is actually in the works and we are filming today. I kind of wanted it to be a cinematic experience in five minutes. I just hope that it is possible. The song is so grand and extra that I want it to have a fitting music video to really showcase the visuals to it. The music video will be essentially my dream. It really was beautiful so that fact that I get to recreate it and show it to the world is incredible. I mean, you guys were always getting a little piece of what was in my head with my music but with the music video now you get to actually see what’s in there haha.
Host: That is so exciting. Thank you so much for your time Florence. Don’t forget to buy and stream “Only If For A Night”, now out everywhere.

Re: CAL: Season 1
As the song begins the stage is dark, then as the beat drops for the first verse the stage illuminates in white and pink. Shawn is stood in the middle of the stage with his band wearing a white sleeveless t-shirt and black jeans to match the single cover. He prompts the crowd and judges to sing along as he makes it to the first chorus, backing dancers can be seen in the background. During the bridge the stage goes dark again, a spotlight is shone on Shawn and the camera cuts to a close up of him. Before the final chorus the music drops out and the drummer plays a dramatic riff, then the stage illuminates again when the chorus hits. White confetti rains over the studio as he finishes the performance.
Hosts: That is how to put on a show! ‘MY MY MY!’ is available on iTunes and Flux now!

(Latin America, Paid)
Saturday, July 18
2/8
This evening on the show we have a certified pop star who's just debuted with huge numbers worldwide for her debut album Passion, please welcome Hailee Steinfeld!
Hailee on the initial success of Passion:
The fact that Passion is my debut album, and having all this success around the globe is crazy to me. I thought I would debut small considering my team decided to release my album a month after the first single, but I really outdone myself if you look at the spreadsheet! I can only thank God, my family, Jonny and Virgin, and especially my Hailiens around the world.
Hailee on future singles:
Well I'm not nearly done with Love Myself, it has quite some life in it I feel. However, I have some singles in my head that I can see people liking. One song that I saw people took a liking too is Starving, which Zedd produced. One of my favorite songs that I recorded in the studio ever.
Hailee on tacos:
I'm not just saying this because I'm on a Latin American platform, but have you guys had tacos with chicken? It's SO good. I also found out that my beaner girlies don't even use beef, but pork and chicken. No wonder why they shit always be hot! *laughs* My ex Derek truly used to eat it all the time too.
Hailee's last remarks:
Well of course, my debut album, Passion, is out everywhere! Passion and my current single, Love Myself, is now discounted on iTunes and my site HaileeSteinfeld.com. Go get the offers before they're gone. Thank you Conversa!
After the commerical break, we'll have Hailee Steinfeld back here to perform her smash hit Love Myself!
Hailee performing Love Myself:
The cameras turn to Hailee and her backup dancers, who are all dressed in white. The stage is lit in light lavender, and the background green screen is playing the Love Myself music video. As the Love Myself instrumental stars, Hailee and the dancers turn towards the camera. When the first verse hits, Hailee and her backup dancers start a slower tempo choreo. As the chorus hits, the choreo goes faster. The same happens during Love Myself's 2nd verse, as the song heads towards the climax which is the bridge. Hailee hits the huge note during the bridge, and finishes the last chorus. Hailee finishes the song, and then winks towards the televised camera.
"Passion", the debut album, available on all platforms now.
Featuring smash hit "Love Myself", as well as album tracks "Hell No's and Headphones" and "Rock Bottom", featuring Shawn Mendes.
"Passion" and "Love Myself" at discounted price are available on the iTunes Store and HaileeSteinfeld.com.

Hailee Steinfeld appears on the Breakfast Club, discusses debut album "Passion" and industry peers
(United States, Paid)
Sunday, July 19
3/8
This morning we have actor turned into pop superstar Hailee Steinfeld here to discuss anything of her desire, but I'm pretty sure she wants to discuss her debut album Passion! Let's welcome her!
Hailee on being scared to come on Breakfast Club:
I can't believe I'm on here right now. I've always had the itch but the fear to come on this radio show because of you know who *laughs*. Let me say this right now, No offense Charlamagne, but Shawn told me he saw your profile pic on Grindr! Don't let me catching you slip before you try to drag me!
Hailee on the meaning of Passion:
Passion, which is my debut album that's out everywhere, means the world to me. I feel like the album means embracing independence, and having the courage of being yourself with addition to having ambition constantly. I feel like those specific things are what people hesitate to have in life, and I want to let people know that you can have anything you want.
Hailee on Passion debuting with 114K in the states:
Those numbers are beyond what I expected honestly, I would've been grateful for 50k considering our release design. It was very unorthodox, but look what God can do! I have the biggest female debut of the year so far, and I'm so thankful.
Hailee on her industry peers:
Of course my favorite is Shawn, I call him my GBF secretly but that's his fetish. Please don't take me seriously when I say that *laughs* But other than Shawn, I love Normani of course, I've developed a slow liking to Camila, and Drake. I texted Ava about blocking Love Myself from #1 yesterday, cussed that raggedy wig bitch out! I'm kidding, love Ava too and I congratulated her. But those are the girls who are making listenable music.
Hailee's last remarks:
My debut album, Passion, is out everywhere! Passion and my current single, Love Myself, is now discounted on iTunes and my site HaileeSteinfeld.com. Go get the offers before they're gone. Thank you Breakfast Club!

Hailee Steinfeld discusses debut album "Passion" and guilty pleasures on Trevor Noah, performs Love Myself
(United States, Paid)
Monday, July 20
4/8
Tonight on the show we have the beautiful actress turned pop star who's celebrating her debut album Passion smashing the charts globally, please help me welcome Hailee Steinfeld!
Hailee on having only 9 songs on Passion:
I think it works for this album because I wanted people to re-listen to it especially. I feel like your debut album should be your most listened to one, so why not make it shorter and make people relisten? I get to have a debut album only one time in my life. I had to make Passion count.
Hailee on the most personal song on Passion:
I think Ins and Outs is the most personal song on the record, definitely actually since its self written.I was going through a relationship at the time that was off and on for months, and I finally decided to let my thoughts out on a notebook. I love the outcome that happened.
Hailee on having a top 3 album and single at the same time:
It's crazy to think about Trevor. Just last year I was in a Pitch Perfect trailer, and now today I'm breaking records globally on about every chart. This experience has made me so humble and grateful to be in this industry. I owe it all to my support system and my amazing Hailiens.
Hailee's last remarks:
My debut album, Passion, is out everywhere! Passion and my current single, Love Myself, is now discounted on iTunes and my site HaileeSteinfeld.com. Go get the offers before they're gone. Thank you Trevor Noah!
After this short commercial break, Hailee Steinfeld will be performing her breakout hit Love Myself!
The cameras turn to Hailee, who is dressed in all light blue with her back up dancers. The stage has the Love Myself music video playing in the background, with Hailee and her dancer's jumpsuits having #Passion written in glitter on them. The stage is lit light lavender as Hailee starts singing Love Myself's first verse. The live audience starts clapping faster as Hailee hits Love Myself's chorus. As the Love Myself climax comes, Hailee hits the huge high note during the bridge. Hailee ends Love Myself with a wink to the camera and "I love me!"

Hailee Steinfeld talks debut album "Passion" and Netflix on Wild 94.9 San Francisco (Call-In)
(United States, Free)
Tuesday, July 21
5/8
On the line now we have a pop superstar who is breaking records globally with her debut album "Passion", give it up for Hailee Steinfeld! Hey Hailee!
Hailee on Passion's sound:
Well it's a straight Pop record, I don't know how straight you could go after hearing Passion pop wise. However, this type of Pop is different. I wanted to make a pop album that had actual meaning to it. Not cookie cutter, no throwaway Max Martin production, real shit. I have songs about breakups, social anxiety, body acceptance, etc.
Hailee on her immediate success:
It's so crazy man, I would've never thought it would happen to me. Not in the music industry at least. I always had a "Passion" for music, see what I did there *laughs*. But never in a lifetime that I would think it would blow up like this. But I'm grateful for everything that;s coming my way.
Hailee on Netflix shows:
I've been watching so much Netflix lately. Most of the stuff I watched was good, like Victorious, but I came across a God awful documentary yesterday. I think the name was New Americana. I think I got through 3 minutes before I put it on Blues Clues chile.
Hailee on the future:
We arew continuing to promote Passion and Love Myself simultaneously, and I will let media platforms know if there's a change.
Hailee's last remarks:
My debut album, Passion, is out everywhere! Passion and my current single, Love Myself, is now discounted on iTunes and my site HaileeSteinfeld.com. Go get the offers before they're gone. Thank you Wild 94.9 San Francisco!

Hailee Steinfeld performs Love Myself on Heads Up with Richard Herring
(United Kingdom, Free)
Wednesday, July 22
6/8
Coming off the release of her debut album "Passion", Hailee Steinfeld is here to perform her breakout single Love Myself. Let's give it up for Hailee!
The camera pans to Hailee and her backup dancers. As the instrumental of Love Myself starts, Hailee and her dancers both turn to the camera simultaneously. Steinfeld is wearing an all white striped fitted jumpsuit, and her dancers are wearing black. The stage is lit light blue, and the background graphic has a GIF- version of her album "Passion". Steinfeld and her dancers finish the first verse as they go into more intense choreo. When the Love Myself chorus hits, the choreo goes even harder. It slows down as they enter the Love Myself 2nd verse, and ramps backup during the 2nd chorus. Hailee hits the high note during the bridge almost perfectly, and heads near the end of the song. When Hailee and her dancers finish the Love Myself performance, Hailee gives a kiss to the televised camera.

Hailee Steinfeld discusses debut album "Passion" on NRJ Hits France
(Europe, Paid)
Thursday, July 23
7/8
In the NRJ studio right now we have the platinum selling superstar Hailee Steinfeld, yes that's the right title, who's calling to talk about her debut album Passion, which is out on all platforms now. Everyone give it up for her!
Passion has debuted at #1 on the Euro album chart, while Love Myself is #1 on the Euro single chart, your thoughts?
I'm so blessed and grateful that all of this is happening to me. Let me say thank you publicly to my European Hailiens, as well as Jonny Braun, Virgin, and Universal. My dear family from all angles! And I have to thank God of course. It's so crazy to be at #1 on both the album and single chart simultaneously.
Hailee on what having Passion means:
Having Passion means having ambition, that drive for every single thing that you do. Especially the things that you have close to your heart that means dear to you. I've always had music in my heart and close to it since I was a little girl, and I wanted to put the feeling I had as a little girl in this first album of mine.I want people to get that specific feeling while you're streaming Passion.
Your favorite song on Passion?:
My favorite song on Passion is actually Ins and Outs, because it means so much to me. As a human being that goes through relationships, the fact that I can write it out and process grief and confusion through my writing is special. I feel like that song best shows how I can deliver on my notebook.
Anything else you have to say Hailee before we let you go?:
Well of course, my debut album, Passion, is out everywhere! Passion, my debut album, and my current single, Love Myself, are now both discounted on iTunes and my site HaileeSteinfeld.com. Go get the offers before they're gone. Thank you NRJ Radio France!
Thank you Hailee for stopping by our studio, now playing on NRJ Hits France is Hailee Steinfeld's Love Myself. Turn it up!

Hailee Steinfeld discusses debut full length "Passion" and Switzerland on Virgin Radio Switzerland
(Europe, Paid)
Thursday, July 23
8/8
This evening on the show we have a very special guest who's just smashed the charts with her debut album "Passion", please help me welcome Hailee Steinfeld!
What were the challenges in recording Passion?:
Knowing if certain things were right for this album. As my debut album, I wanted to show off my feelings and personality. I wanted those traits in the forefront more than anything. It was nervous trying to match beats and lyrics, especially to stuff I've already written. Rob, Mattias, Justin, and Julia, all helped me put ideas out there to help me envision. So many sleepless nights in the studio especially! I think it worked out in our favor though.
You have a #1 album and #1 single simultaneously here in Europe as a debut artist, which is out of this world! Your thoughts?:
I just have to thank God first of all, he made my Passion come into fruition for me. As well as my European team and my label team. It's unheard of to achieve this all on your debut effort, especially when you release the album this early like I did. I'm so grateful it's all working out. I'm loving that you all are loving Love Myself and Passion!
I absolutely LOVE Generous off the album, can you tell me about that one?:
Well I wrote it about this past relationship I had, and I genuinely felt I was doing all the heavy lifting in the relationship. Like my guy, I'm a girl. I shouldn't have to be the brains and wear the pants in the relationship. So I thought in my head, I'm so generous to this guy. And for what, sex? I deserved better. So I just wrote about it.
Hailee's last remarks:
Well of course, my debut album, Passion, is out everywhere! Passion, my debut album, and my current single, Love Myself, are now both discounted on iTunes and my site HaileeSteinfeld.com. Go get the offers before they're gone. Thank you NRJ Radio France!
Thank you Hailee for stopping by the studio, and now playing on Virgin Radio SWZ here's Love Myself, by the lovely Hailee Steinfeld!

James: Our next guess is actually from the magical land I hail from. She is now in the United States and taking it by storm too. Everyone, please help me welcome, Florence.
FLORENCE ON WRITING
I see it as sort of a useless super power. It’s like you’re able to see the future, or you’re able to understand something very deep about yourself, or you’re able to see exactly the right answer… but in life, I have no idea what I am doing ha-ha. It’s so funny. Sometimes I open my journal in hopes of making something into a song and I am like, wow I impress myself, and other times I am like, wow that made absolutely no sense. But I never think anything I write is rubbish, and anyone who writes should never feel like that about their work. It’s all perspective. Maybe we felt a certain way about a subject at one point, but now, we feel totally different. It’s a think that happens. I know it, because sometimes I have no idea what I am talking about when I write some stuff. But now, it’s gotten much better.
FLORENCE ON PERFORMING
That is so weird, because when I am performing anything, I do not really feel like me… if that makes sense. Sometimes, more times than not actually, it feels like some other force is taking control of my body and I am just a vessel for my music. I love the go around the stage and just feel the energy and vibe of the people around. I love the fact that if you wait and listen to the crowd, you can hear a beautiful choir singing along with you. And the fact that they even know my music is something so special to me.
FLORENCE PERFORMING “ONLY IF FOR A NIGHT”
As the piano starts, Florence is on the ground on her knees with her hands beside her. She gets up and starts singing the first verse. As the background singers belt the backing vocals out, she pops up in the chorus and runs to one side of the stage and then sings the rest of the chorus. When the background singers sing the “Only if for a night” part, everyone in the audience is singing as well. When the second verse comes, she is now in the crowd singing at a few members of the audience. When the chorus comes back, she leaps to the stage and starts singing. At the end of the performance, James reminds everyone to stream and buy Florence’s single, Only If For A Night.

Trevor: Hello everyone at home and our live audience here, today we have a special guest with us. Coming all the way from the United Kingdom, it is Florence.
FLORENCE ON HER FANS
They are just the sweetest people ever. I cannot wait until I get to tour and see all of their faces. They are so amazing and I love interacting with them on twitter. They call themselves the Empire. Which I think is a fitting name for them.
FLORENCE ON WRITING
The feeling was there, and the excitement of making something was there. And that’s all we needed. And I like the idea of making music with whatever was in the room, so if you need to bang a stick against a wall and record something on your phone. That idea so interesting to me. And the drum sound in one of my songs is just from me going to the wall and banging at it until I could make the lyrics fit with this huge beat. You know I’m not a very angry person in life, I’m not a very confrontational or aggressive person. I’m very gentle and yet sometimes my music is so ferocious and I wonder what part of myself I suppress and don’t want to come out. And sometimes I find that scary.
FLORENCE PERFORMING ONLY IF FOR A NIGHT
Florence is wearing a light blue sheer light gown. As the music starts, Florence’s head rises and her eyes open. She is in the middle of the stage with her band behind her. Florence then starts singing the first verse and then picks up the mic and races to the crowd when the chorus begins. When the second verse happens, she is back on the stage with her band, and then when the second chorus comes, the camera pans to the audience who are singing and dancing with Florence. By the end of the performance, Florence is back in the middle of the stage as Trevor reminds the audience and viewers at home to buy and stream Florence’s smash hit single.

FLORENCE PERFORMING “ONLY IF FOR A NIGHT”
Florence is in the middle of the dancefloor with her mic in hand. As for her band, they are on the stage behind her. As the music starts, four pairs of dancers come from each corner of the dancefloor and meet in the center with Florence. They are doing some soft delicate moves but when the bombastic pre-chorus begins, the dancers disperse into their pairs and start dancing in sync as they are doing their super hard and tough dance. Florence is just static in the middle of the dancefloor, to make sure she does not get in their way. But her hands are moving to the sound of the music. As the second verse comes, each pair has their own solo and then the chorus comes back where they do the same thing again. When the repeated outro of “Only If For A Night” comes the dancers go ballistic and do all of these magnificent dances. When the song is over the dancers bow and point to Florence who has a huge grin on her face.
The host then reminds everyone to buy and stream Florence’s hit single, “Only If For A Night”.

Samantha: Hello everyone. Our next guest is a woman who has been taking the United States and the United Kingdom by storm. She is here to talk with us and then perform her song later. Everyone, please help me welcome Florence!
FLORENCE ON CREATING
I think there’s a way of being musical which perhaps isn’t based on knowing all the right cords or knowing how to push all the buttons. If you have a desire to create, if you have a musicality, I think you can make music out of anything. There are a lot of ways that we can create something and I don’t feel like my way is the best or the finish line. There are so many different ways and avenues. I personally use a journal and write poems in them. And then later, I will see what can be made into a song. And I mean, sometimes the poems are long, and other times, they are just one liners.
FLORENCE ON HER ART
The visuals and the music, everything was always all together. I never really thought about them separately. When I wrote the song “Only If For A Night”, there was already an image there when I was creating the song. I guess people really like conceptual things but it wasn’t a concept per se, you just follow an idea. So if you’re into dreams, then get super interested in dreams and it would tie up into the music, and tie up into the shows, and maybe it was the fact that I went to art college, and that’s why I don’t see any of the parts as separate.
FLORENCE PERFORMING “ONLY IF FOR A NIGHT”
As the music starts, and the band is behind her, Florence’s head is up as she starts singing the first verse. She is wearing a purple light flowy dress. When the pre-chorus hits, her eyes immediately open and she raises both of her hands in a quite static way. When the chorus begins, she snatches the mic from the stand and jets to the right side of the stage. She makes eye contact with an audience member who is singing the song with her word for word. When the second verse comes back, things are a bit calmer as she is saving up energy for a second chorus. By the end of the song, she is on her knees with her head facing up.

- Performance:
- At first the lights are all off, the stage is completely dark and everything is eerily silent. Suddenly a single light flashes on and points at a spot on the ceiling above the center of the stage. A slowed version of the instrumental for Link Up begins to play as a trap door opens up on that spot and Normani is lowered via a rope through the trap door. She is dressed in a skimpy black dress with massive black wings attached to her. She looks like an angel from hell. Once she reaches the floor the instrumental speeds up to its normal speed and Normani begins to sing the track. In addition to her effortless, confident vocals, she does a simple, yet extremely cool and modern hip hop choreography to accompany the performance. Then once the second half of the song begins she sheds her wings and busts out her usual sexy dance moves and she sings.

- Interview:
I: I was watching you on some talk show I can not remember the name of last week and you announced that you officially booked a sponsorship deal with the luxury jewelry company Rafaello & Co who are known for making very expensive and eccentric jewelry for famous people, mostly rappers. How did you guys come to do this partnership
N: Well I love Rafaello, I have loved them ever since I accidentally stumbled into their store while on a shopping trip with one of my friends like 2 years ago. Since then I have amassed a cute little collection of jewelry from them and then when I was working on Link Up I naturally though of giving them a shout out. Then just days before the song was about to drop my team found out that Rafaello & Co wanted to do some type of brand deal with a popular musician. At first they were hesitant about me when my team first contacted me because they were looking for a popular male rapper and you know the stereotypes. Women just are not cool enough yada yada yada. Anyways then Rafael Aranbayev, one of the company's CEOs and founders who is an angel by the way, heard Link Up and immediately told his intern to get my manager on the phone and then the rest is history
I: When are we getting our first sneak peek of what this collaboration will entail?
N: Well you will actually be getting the first ad I will star in next week
I: Really? I can not wait

- Interview + Performance:
- W: Ladies, gentlemen, gays and fellow co-hosts. Please give it up for our black princess: Normani
N: Hello Wendy, how you doin?
W: Hey, that is my catchphrase
N: Girl Wendy I have to say I am a massive fan of your show. I watch it like at least once a week. I do not know a funnier talk show host. Truly the queen of daytime TV
W: I am flattered baby, but you do not have to tell me things I already know
*both normani and wendy laugh*
W: So if you as a big a fan of this show as you claim you are then you know I am always fishing for the latest tea on everything
N: I have to admit I was a bit scared coming on because I know you always get the answers for anything you are looking for but then my love for you and this show overpowered the fear... now I am back to being a little scared though
W: I promise I will not be too mean
N: Then go ahead
W: Well I know you used to be a Fifth Harmony girl. I remember than give it to me I'm worth it song from a few years back... it was my jam. Anyways now people who claim to be insiders have been telling me and the hot topics bureau that ever since you guys disbanded some of y'all have not been on the best of terms. Can you confirm? Will you deny? If you deny, how sure can I be that you are telling the truth.
N: How about I silently stand up and decide to get ready for my Link Up performance early?
W: Baby that says it all
Performance
Normani steps onto the stage dressed in a firey red leotard. The performance is very simple and just has her singing the track in front of a mix stand while the instrumental plays from speakers

Re: CAL: Season 1
- Interview + Performance:
- I: Ladies and gentlemen, today we have the talented Normani with us on our show. Before sitting down with us for a very short chat she will perform her current smash single titled "Link Up". Please give her a round of applause.
Performance
The curtains to the stage fall to reveal Normani standing at the center of the stage. Her posture is fierce, she is dressed in a sexy red / black outfit, with a mic in her hand and fans blowing, making her hair flutter in the artificial wind.The instrumental for the song plays and Normani begins to sing. A female dancer joins her from each side of the stage and perform a cool choreography as Normani sings. Then the beat switches to the instrumental for the second half of the song and the three women sit down on the ground. Normani seductively sings the rest of the song while the two female dancers suggestively roam their hands on Normani's body. For this portion of the performance the stage light switches to a sexy neon purple.
Interview
I: Well that was most definitely an interesting performance
N: Yeah well I always try to do something a little different each time I perform the song, which is not a given for an artist when they are performing a song for the millionth time
I: I really loved how you started out with that boss woman pose and then the first half all kind of what you do all the time but then the second half was... intense
N: Truth be told when I pitched that to my team they did not think you guys would let us do it here on the show but well you did
I: We were a little bit nervous about doing something like this on daytime TV but hey, life is not fun if you do not take any risks, am I right?
N: Amen to that

Re: CAL: Season 1
- Interview:
- I: Hi Normani
N:Hello
I: Tell us a little bit about your current single Link Up. It is a complete banger and people have been requesting it here like crazy. Did you think it would get this kind of success?
N: Honestly I did not, especially not so soon. Like it has been out for a month and it is already top 5 on Billboard. That is so crazy to me. With Fifth Harmony we one had one song to enter the top 5 and now here I am doing it with my debut single. But I have to admit that a big reason why it is so successful is because I have such an amazing fan base. Like the Kordeination are the most loyal ni**as ever. I really can not take them for granted. I remember even before the lead single was out I had so many fans constantly spamming my twitter feed about new music and there was a time I was annoyed by it but now I have realized I should actually be extremely grateful for having fans who literally could not wait another day without me dropping music. These are ride or dies right here
I: Yeah your fan base does seem very dedicated. Like I said, they call in and request your song day in and day out. But I feel like it is not just your fan base who are in love with your new single but also just the general public. Like I have been hearing it everywhere. In clubs, at the mall you name it
N: Well yeah, I am just grateful people in general can connect to it so well

Re: CAL: Season 1
- Interview:
- I: Now when I announced that you were coming into our humble little radio studio the other day we got quite a few requests from fans as to what to ask you. While they varied greatly from things such as when your music video for "Link Up" is dropping or when the album will be ready to questions about what books your parents used to read you when you were small or what your favorite food was back then. The question we got the most though did surprise me a little as you just started your journey as a solo artist but it was the most requested so we will do our job and ask it.
N: Now I am intrigued. What question did the Kordeination cook up for me?
I: They wanted to know whether or not we will see a Fifth Harmony reunion any time soon... or ever?
N: I can definitely say not anytime soon. Me and all the girls are finally doing our thing on our own and discovering the world as solo artists and while I loved being a part of Fifth Harmony, being a solo artist gives me so much freedom to do what I want and discover what type of artist I really am. Like when we first started talking about going on a hiatus I sat down and thought about what type of music I would release as a solo artist and I honestly was not sure. There were so many different styles and sounds and genres I thought I would enjoy doing, it took some time to nail down a sound. Now as for the far future, I have no idea what will happen

Re: CAL: Season 1
- Interview:
- I: Normani we are so happy to welcome you here on our show again
N: I always love chatting with y'all so I can genuinely say I am happy to be back
I: Are you implying that you are sometimes lying when you say you are happy to be back on other shows?
N: Unfortunately due to contractual obligations I am not permitted to disclose that type of information
*interviewer laughs*
I: So Link Up has been out for a few weeks now and it is currently blowing up, rightfully so in my opinion since it is an absolute anthem. Now I know you have not even dropped a music video and all, but can you give us any updates on when we are getting more new music? When will the album be out?
N: I am sorry to say that I can not disclose anything other than you guys will be getting a little something sooner than you think. And as for the album release date, the album ain't even finished yet so I can not give you an album release date other than end of the year
I: Well end of the year is new information
N: That is because I can finally feel myself coming closer to the end of the album creation process so I can finally give vague dates. If you had asked me 2 weeks ago I would have told you anywhere from this August to next year in spring.
I: That is quite the big range
N: Well with music you never really know you are done creating something until you reach a certain point of readiness

- N: Hi, I am Normani and you are watching Elle Song Association. The game is pretty simple. I get a word and then I have to sing the lyrics of a song that has that word in it. For every correctly named song I get a point. I know a lot of songs and obviously listen to a lot of music but it is like always when I am put on the spot I get a blackout and forget everything. Been that way since I was a kid, used to happen to me all the time in exams... even though I have to admit I did not always study. Anyways...
Blue
Uhm blue...blue...blue. I have no fucking clue. I can already see myself going 0 for 6
Butterfly
Oh thats easy: I didn't know that I was starving till I tasted you/ Don't need no butterflies when you give me the whole damn zoo
By the way, by the way, you do things to my body/ I didn't know that I was starving till I tasted you
That was Starving by girl Hailee Steinfeld. It is off her brand new album Passion, do not forget to go buy it @jonnyy
Control
I can already tell y'all now I have no idea. Next
Baby
God baby is one of those words that are in so many songs that it is hard to think of just one...wait I got it: Baby, baby, baby/What's it gonna be
Baby, baby, baby/Is it him or is it me? That was The Beautiful Ones by Prince. Literally one of my favorite songs of all time. I literally to this day can not fathom how someone could be so talented
Need
Consider this your warning, I'm needy as hell/ Won- Well I just had LaToya scream into my ear that I should not spill those lyrics yet but it is too late. Stream Warning, out July 24th xoxo
Ride
Oh my god, I was just listening to this one song on the radio. I think it went: Ridin' Harleys in Hawaii / sumn sumn sumn
sumn sumn sumn ride, ride / When I hula-hula, hula
So good, you'll take me to the jeweler-jeweler, jeweler I think its called Harleys In Hawaii by Katy Perry. Love that song @breakdown
Bad
Oh you know the drill: Bad bitches link up, link up / All this drip on me I fuck the sink up. If you wanna hear how the rest of the song goes then stream it on Flux or buy it on Itunes

Re: CAL: Season 1
Ellen: Love it! Stick around for more Shawn Mendes!
…
Ellen: Welcome back, we are here with Shawn Mendes.
*crowd cheers*
Shawn: Hi! So great to be here, thanks for letting me perform.
Ellen: Our pleasure! You certainly put on a show, what a great song. I love the music video too!
*stills of the music video appear on the screen behind them, landing on a still of the scene with the girl*
Ellen: Pretty raunchy huh?! What happened to the good boy image *laughs*
Shawn: I wouldn’t call that raunchy! But yeah shooting the video was a lot of fun, and I love the meaning behind it too. I didn’t really want to just do a plain video showing what the songs about, I like the use of metaphors and stuff so I wanted to use the light in the video to signify the relationship that I was chasing.

Re: CAL: Season 1
While the video may seem a little dark or not as colourful as the song sounds, I wasn’t the happiest before I wrote this song. A light in my life was missing and that was this relationship I’m singing about. Throughout the video I’m chasing that light, and when I finally reach it and make the relationship official the light comes back into my life as you can see at the end of the video.
Shawn on the making of the video
We shot it right here in California believe it or not. The shoot was across 3 days and they were all night shoots so we were all super tired by the end of it especially since I was promoting during the day, my manager gives me no breaks! I think the rooftop scene was the hardest to shoot, I was up there for like 2 hours under the fake rain. I fell over a few times, had water in my eyes and was freezing by the end of it but it was so worth it! I have to thank my fellow director Grant Singer for keeping me motivated *laughs*
Shawn on his merch
I have a whole new range of merchandise out for my fans to buy now, they will receive a copy of the single with each purchase! I spent some time designing it with my team, I’m wearing one of the hoodie designs now actually! Expect even more with the album release.
Performance
Shawn is alone on the stage sat on a stool with his guitar and a spotlight just on him, he begins to play an acoustic stripped back version of ‘MY MY MY!’. He asks the audience to shout ‘MY MY MY!’ during the chorus and stands up during the final chorus, letting his voice shine. He belts out the lyrics and adds some new ad libs, finishing the performance by thanking the crowd.

Who writes Drake's songs?
If your boy raps it, your boy wrote it.

I like to think I look good, but judge yourself!

- Text version:
- On "Nonstop"
It is my newest song, the first single off my upcoming album. It is just a fun song, you know, the type of song that comes on shuffle and you never skip because it instantly boosts your mood. I am really happy with the song and how it is doing. My team keeps me updated on its performance and it blows my mind that it is doing so good. To be able to release the music I like and that I would listen to myself if it came from someone else, and have it be received so well is always a blessing. I never take that for granted. So thanks to everybody who is being supportive of the new song, thanks very much.
On his NIKE partnership
I am really excited, NIKE is obviously an incredible brand with so much history and impact. Literally everybody knows it and wears it. So partnering with them is an honor for me and I can not wait to see what we come up with together. It is going to be really fun. Some really dope things are coming really soon, like in the following days, and I know everybody is going to be very pleased with that. We have been working on those for a while and it is crazy that the time has finally come to reveal it all!
