What's going on guys? Hanging with me right now I have the Astrid S. Astrid. What's up, girl?

What's not up?

What's not up? Are you excited to be here? We're so excited to have you.

Yeah, I just never know what to answer when people say that.

Oh really? Is that that's not like a phrase in in Norway?

No, no, no. We never say that. So, I'm always like

Okay, so how would you say like, how how are you? How's it going? Like casual?

I would just say, "How are you?"

Yeah. Okay. So, let's start over from scratch. Hanging out with Astrid S. How are you today?

I'm good. Thank you. How are you?

I'm good. Good. We're so excited to have you here because this is your first time in studio.

Yes.

So, welcome.

Thank you so much.

But I do want to flashback a little bit because you've been featured on our show Backstage Diaries.

So, the last time I played in LA, it was really cool because all of the people that came, I could tell they were fans by heart. They knew all the songs.

You also gave us this. I want to do the reveal. Who is that? Can you tell everyone?

That is mini me.

Yes. And you with a I don't know what do you call it in English? Like, you know, when you put a bowl on your head and you cut your hair. A bowl cut.

A bowl cut.

You know you made it when you have a a shirt with your face, right?

Yeah, especially when you're wearing it.

Oh, she's full of compliments already. I like how this is going. But I do want to talk about your fashion game because so, I follow you on Instagram. Love it. I feel like you can pair like a pink knit sweater with like these pants and like just random sneakers and you just you kill it.

I feel like I've I've really found my style now. Yeah. And um, I've grown into it and I like to experiment. Mhm. And I figured that I just like to wear anything that makes me feel comfortable.

At the AL Ray you were wearing like um like a one piece. We have like a word for it in Norwegian again. It's called snikkerbukse. That's the first word that just came out. You know what I'm like, oh my gosh. I don't know if I could do that yet. Snikkerbukse. Oh, no. I'm sorry but that was so bad. But it's it's a I love it.

It means, you know, the guys that work uh building houses and stuff. Yeah. They usually wear those one-pieces. Yes. That's what it's called. And it was a white one.

Well, I can talk to you about your fashion all day but I do want to get to the real reason why you're here. Your new single Emotion. Yay. It's so good.

Thank you. Like, I'm not even just saying that. It's a song I wrote here in LA about two years ago. I'm happy it's finally out and that I tried turning every stone. Um, and it feels very me but also more mature. Um, and like a step forward.

I love that you can talk so freely about emotions. Like, I feel like it takes a certain amount of, you know, vulnerability and security with yourself to be so open about the things that you sing about. So, can you tell me a little bit more about that?

Previously I liked to write lyrics that are more on the surface, more literal. But with this new song, I've definitely gone down in the deep and it's not just on the surface.

Well, I don't know how much you know about astrology but you're a Scorpio.

Yeah.

Okay. So, you do know. Good. Well, Scorpios are all about emotions so I just I love talking about astrology in all my interviews. Yeah. Um, I'm a Virgo and Virgos and Scorpios do really well together. I'm just saying. So, that's probably why we're vibing right now.

Nice.

I'm pointing it out in case you weren't aware that we're vibing. I feel like we're vibing. I feel like we're vibing. Okay. Good.

I used to have an app that you can read your um, like daily Oh, yeah. Horoscopes. Is that what it's called? Um, I had to delete it cause I was so obsessed with it. But I'm starting to get to that point clearly because I'm

Stay away. It's gonna take over your life. Oh, no, yeah. We can't do that. We can't do that. But back to your album, you mentioned it briefly. When Can you give us a little tease of when we can expect one?

Definitely next year. Um, it could be early or late but I have no idea.

We can't wait. Before we let you go, I thought it would be fun because you write songs about love and relationships. Yeah. Can you give us a little bit of advice? What would you do if you were being ghosted by someone you really liked?

I've ghosted so many and if I were ghosted, I just feel like I would have to take it because I deserve it.

You sound a little proud about the ghosting.

No, not at all. I feel embarrassed. Very embarrassed.

So, what would you do if you started having feelings for a friend but you were worrying that it was gonna ruin the friendship if you told them?

I think that if I was in a situation like that I would rather tell my friend and talk about it and get it over with rather than have it just in my head.

I agree. Cause if they're really your friend like, you know, they'd be understanding, right?

Yeah. We hope. Anyway.

Okay. Final one. What would you do if you screenshotted a conversation and then you sent it back to that person? I feel like you've done this before.

I've done this. How do you guys know all this stuff?

I know.

I can tell when it happened once. I just had to own it. Yeah. I just said, "I'm so sorry. I was supposed to send this to my best friends but I sent it to you."

So, what was the outcome of that?

He didn't answer. Oh, no.

Now, I do want to know how to say something really cool in Norwegian. Like, give me something simple though cause the first one was kinda hard.

Okay. Something simple. My favorite color is orange. Mhm. And it's pretty similar in Norwegian. It's orange.

Orange. Yeah. You're just being nice. I didn't do it well, huh?

No, you did it really well.

Awesome. Well, Astrid, you are an absolute pleasure. Thank you so much for stopping by.

Thank you for having me.

Guys, Emotion. Listen to it. It will not disappoint.
