Live from the Mercedes-Benz interview lounge.

Tonight, of course, here in New York City at Madison Square Garden, the world famous Madison Square Garden.

We bring you Z-100 to jingle ball presented by Capital One.

It's going to be quite the night of superstars.

One of the stars shining brightly tonight on the stage will be Leveveh. I love her so much. A lot of people do. I know. I mean, people in their 90s love Levei's music, like the Bosanova Sound. Yeah. And kids in their teens. My 16-year-old son who only watches YouTube loves her. It's just a great moment for this era of music. and here she is to talk about it. Leveh! Here she comes in.

By the way, It's just a great moment for this era of music. And here she is to talk about it. Laye!

Here she comes in. By the way, stole them a cereal. We'll get into that. You don't need those headphones. I don't. Oh, no, not at all. Lebe, welcome to our show. We're so happy to have you here. Thank you so much for having me. And I'll be very honest. we're not this nice to anyone.

Really?

No, we're not this nice to anyone.

Really? No, we're very, very acidic and awful. Even though I stole your cereal.

We'll get into that. Probably because you stole his cereal. I do truly believe that the music that you are presenting not only tonight at Jingle Ball here at the Garden, but to all your

fans and around the world is a great moment for music because it's proof that music that sounds

like it's from any era is great music. And you've done it. I mean, are you tired of talking about

how your sound is so different than other artists, your age, let no not at all i mean to me like i i just

sing the music and make the music that comes most naturally to me like i sound i feel like my voice

just sits the best in that kind of style this kind of mid-century more like jazz style so i'm i'm just happy that I get to do what I love and that

anybody's listening and especially young people. I think growing up this was the music I loved

and kind of felt like I was the only one who enjoyed it. And to now get to be a part of a big

community that enjoys the same kind of music as me is really, really cool. How many of you in this room grew up with great parents who had excellent music in the house from all generations? Yes, yeah, absolutely. Me too. And we had Basanova in our house, lots of it. And I always thought to my mom and dad, you know, shaking martinis. And that's why I learned how to shake martinis at the age of eight while listening to music

that you're now singing.
