Hey Better Babes, I'm Jonathan Van Ness, and welcome back to Getting Better. This week, we have a

sister act that has nothing to do with Whoopi Goldberg, but they are equally as iconic. We have

recording artists, Allie and AJ. That's right. We're blessed today with the dulcet tones of a

millennial institution from the Golden age of the Disney Channel.

Artists who've navigated a two decades-long music partnership generated over 560 million streams on Spotify alone.

They've grown up alongside many of us and they have developed a musical identity

unlike any other artist in the game. Earlier this year, they released their new album, Silver

Deliverer, their sixth studio album, and celebrated 20 years of making music together with the

release of their live edition of Into the Rush before heading

out on tour this fall. It's Allie and A.J. We're talking about tapping into our creativity,

using our platforms, and being incredible musicians and tour life, and understanding the music

industry better. Honey, welcome Allie and A.J. How are you? We're so good. You guys, thanks for coming and getting better. Of course. Thank you for having us. Before we started, I just have to say, the hair and the glam today is slaying so hard for our viewers. Thank you. Can you tell us who is the glam team behind these looks? Ourself. You guys, I really respect and honor a diva who does their own glam. I obviously love a hair and makeup artist, too. I love a glam team. But you guys are just really giving me proficiency. I mean, thank you. Okay, let's talk more about you. Harmonizing. You guys are incredibly good at that. Thank you. And as someone who's been recently diagnosed with can't harmonize like Obia? It's a real thing. Yeah. Yeah. I have friends that I've tried to teach that too. Why can't I? How come I only hear melodies? That's a good question. Do you guys switch? Like to sometimes one of you melodies? Yes. do you get to change but i will say AJ is

exceptionally like locked into finding a harmony in a way that's very easy whereas i will prefer to

just stay then on melody but yes like i produce all of the harmonies like i always conduct like

i will say like 70% of the time you're the one that's harmonizing wouldn wouldn't you say? Yeah, I agree. And then 30% maybe it's me doing the harmony. Is there, oh my God, not me being like a musicologist right now. Watch out swiftologist. But would you say, is it like a range or something? Is there like a range that you prefer to harmonize in?

Or like, is there like a place where you're like, I get uncomfortable? Is that a good question? Is that a good

question? That is a good question. That is a good question. Do you like low harmonies or high harmonies? Yeah. Exactly. A low harmony or high harmony. I would rather do a, oh, that's a good question. Let me think. I'd rather do, I think, a low harmony.

Yeah.

Because you're like...

Okay.

That makes sense.

You usually take the low harmony. I feel like. I'm trying to think of like slow dancing. And I feel like you take a higher harmony. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. And then we also will do unison, but it will be a low octave. So it's the same melody, but it's just one octave lower or one octave higher. What's really annoying about me for that is that I always think that's a harmony, but it's an octave. Yes. And then my girlfriend's just like, no, that's just the same thing, but run out or run down. And I was like, we do that a lot actually. And I'm sure fans might think, again, that that's a harmony, but it's actually not.
