Live from the Mercedes-Benz Interview Lounge,

I am Gandhi here with Danielle and my favorite of the night, Llebe.

Hello. We are so excited to see you. I've been hyping this up forever. And now you're here,

part of Jingle Ball. How are you feeling? I'm so excited. This is like such a blast. I'm

watching Zara Larson and she's such a Nordic queen. I love that there's a

Nordic takeover of Jingle Ball. Oh, that's right. Yeah, happy, happy, happy neighbor of hers.

Yeah, she's incredible. And speaking of your world, a matter of time was released and it's pretty

much like a diary of sorts.

It definitely is. How does it feel releasing your diary and then watching people interpret it, however they interpret it, and sing along with you?

It's so rewarding. I think it just, you know, it's like you said, it's like a diary, so it's very

honest and getting to, when you put that out into the world it can be a little

scary but the the second people respond to it saying that they feel heard or seen from it or it makes

them feel better in some way that makes me feel better oh i'm one of those people so do you ever put out a song

though and say oh maybe i shouldn't have put that out.

It's too personal.

I think I have moments where I'm like, oh, did I go too far?

But ultimately, no, because there's always a little bit of, you know, of decoration around it.
