This is my entire cover outfit.
So funny though, because we tried to shoot on the beach
and there was people.
And I was trying to cover my bare [BLEEP]..
I was so embarrassed.
And it's-- I can't hide myself because I'm wearing these big
[BLEEP] wings.
From Amazon Music, it's The Walk In, honey!
Hello, my legendary children.
It's Mo Heart.
And it's another beautiful day on The Walk In.
I'm coming to you from 90210, baby.
Yeah!
Today, I'm on my way to meet the beautiful and talented Nessa
Barrett!
Nessa Barrett skyrocketed to social media fame in 2019.
And she has already cracked the Billboard 100 charts.
And her songs have been streamed 1 billion times.
With the release of her first studio album,
she has established herself with her own unique sound
and edgy fashion.
Come on, girl!
Let's go meet Nessa Barrett.
Look at that!
[KNOCKING]
Hello!
Mo!
[SCREAMING]
Nessa!
This is like Romeo and Juliet.
Right?
Juliet, Juliet, where art thou, Juliet, or something like that,
right?
I love.
I don't know.
Something-- I honestly don't know either.
I didn't remember in English either.
But let's go inside.
Slay!
Oh, my gosh, Nessa, your closet looks amazing!
Thank you!
I'm keeping the guitar, this, this, this.
Take whatever.
Now, you heard it first.
She said I can keep what I want.
So that's not stealing.
We call this section the fashion rewind
where we get to know who you are,
what's your inspiration for your fashion,
before we get to what's currently, OK?
Love that.
Now since this is my favorite garment, who made it?
This is a vintage dress that I got pulled.
Marilyn Monroe?
Oh, it is giving--
Kim Kardashian, you're not the only one.
I had my 20th birthday party.
And I usually never have birthday parties.
And it was roaring 20s.
Very Great Gatsby?
Yeah.
What was the hair for this?
I did super long extensions.
Work!
Shoe?
Tell me about the shoe.
Oh, I think there are little ones.
The Steve Madden!
Yes.
Fabulous, this is a look turning.
And here you go, this could be the birthday Great Gatsby.
Well, this could be a Friday, Saturday night.
Yes.
So you had this and this together?
Yes.
This is fabulous.
What's this one?
This is gorgeous.
I love the distress and the texture.
It's so strong, too.
I know, I love it.
There's like three different corsets.
Yeah, because it's like stern.
Where did you wear this to?
Tell me about this.
Who made this?
I wore this to the VMAs.
This dress was from London.
She's an amazing designer.
I'm so happy we found her.
It's actually really funny story because we almost
didn't have it on time.
Don't you hate it?
Yeah, I know.
They had to overnight it, and then it
went to the wrong post office.
The stress-- you'll be like what would I wear?
Yeah my stylist was screaming.
What shoes did you wear with this?
I went Mary Janes with it.
The platform or just the skippy?
Always platform.
OK, good, because if you had to skippy on for this dress,
I say, "Ooh, she took us back to the 2000."
OK, tell me about--
Ooh!
I was wondering, was this just a skirt by itself
when it goes together.
Now this is hot.
I know it's actually like one of my favorite outfits
I probably ever wore.
Funny enough, it was going to be a Halloween costume.
I was going to go as a motor girl.
Work.
What shoe did you wear?
I totally wore these.
That's cute.
You've given all that style with that little bit of pump.
That's cute!
[INAUDIBLE]
I need the height always.
All right, my dude.
Now tell us this.
Where did you get your start--
You just popped up on the scene and was killing the girls.
So what was like the first thing, fashion, music, art,
how did you develop into this goddess that you are today?
Thank you.
I just started posting online a lot.
And I've always done music my whole life.
As soon as I got to LA, I just started
going to the studio, ended up getting a record deal.
And--
Where are you from?
I'm New Jersey, like really small town New Jersey.
Yeah.
So you started posting stuff online in New Jersey?
Boom, boom, boom.
People start clicking in like and boom, boom, boom,
and then you say, I'm going to LA.
Yeah, over yonder?
By yourself?
Oh, yeah, actually funny enough.
I ran away when I was 17, like in the middle of the night.
Hey, I'm here for you.
And you are here winning, and got a deal.
Did you call them in like, baby, I made it.
I made it momma.
I made it.
Someone, kinda.
Yes!
That's fabulous.
Now, tell us about this.
We love this.
This is one of my favorite sweaters I owned.
And it was also my best friend's,
Cooper, his favorite sweater, too.
And we shared it.
And I love it and I got to keep it.
He recently passed.
Oh, sorry.
Yeah, so it's just very special to me, very sentimental.
I love it.
We love you.
And we love you, Cooper.
Rest in power.
So who are your music inspirations like growing up?
A lot of Gwen Stefani, Adele, I listen to a lot of rap
because my dad was really into that.
How do you say Gwen Stefani, it makes very--
I see young Gwen all over you.
Yes, makes complete sense.
I love that.
She's the reason why I can spell bananas.
Same, honestly.
And that's when you're like B-A-N-A-N-A-S. OK,
wait a minute--
[MUMBLES] Mississippi, the same way, M-I- crooked letter,
crooked letter, I. You better sound, too.
You got it, OK?
You come up with the next ABC song.
Put it on Sesame Street.
I totally will.
Boom.
We love that.
Done.
I will.
Nessa!
We have gotten to hear all about who you are
in the beginning of your story.
It's time to push on down to the fashion forward, my dear.
Yeah.
[INAUDIBLE]
Tell us about your new project.
These are the beautiful outfits from the new music videos.
So tell us about what was the inspiration, the vibe like when
you were writing Young forever.
I was just going through a really hard time,
and I fantasized about heaven a lot
because I was in such a dark place.
And then I created the album, Young Forever,
and I felt purity and--
So that's where we get this young lady from, right here.
Yes.
Let's go talk to her.
Hi, angel.
She kind of looks better than I did.
No.
She's cute.
She's a little [INAUDIBLE].
She's giving, yeah.
This is my entire cover art outfit, the wings, the veil,
even the shoes, and the legwarmers.
So funny though because we tried to shoot on the beach,
and there was people that were behind us,
and people would, obviously, walk on the beach at night.
And I was trying to cover my bare [BLEEP]..
I was so embarrassed.
I can't hide myself because I'm wearing these
big [BLEEP] wings.
[INAUDIBLE]
My dear, tell me-- now that this is your very first album,
tell me how does it feel to have all of your music out?
It's so exciting.
I love it.
I've been waiting 16 months for it to come out,
and it's my favorite music that I've ever made.
And I just honestly want to make more music, I'm dying to, so.
I love that.
What's your favorite song?
Come back over.
What's your favorite song on the album?
I love, "Dear God."
I love, "Gaslight," too.
There's so many.
Just so many.
So many, so many.
Oh, what is this Bridgerton realness?
This is gorge.
Look at the buttons, they're so fab.
Thank you.
No, I love this dress.
I wore it to my album release.
Yes.
Is this is the one from Indonesia?
I think so, yes.
Possibly, could be.
You love it.
So amazing.
So pretty.
It's so gorge.
Yeah.
Giving princess, I loved it.
Now this, baby.
Yes.
Wow.
This is giving me a little maybe "Lady Marmalade" meets
Edgar Allen Poe.
We love that.
Yes.
A little dark mysterious tea.
Tell me, who is she?
What did you wear her for?
My music video for "Tired of California."
I use this for the coffin scene.
I was in a clear coffin.
Is that kind of terrifying?
It was a little but it was also during the heat wave,
and I was right under the sun, at some point.
Oh my god.
The glare.
Yeah.
So it's like just went right through, and there was no air.
I would have a portable fan.
Yeah.
Just like--
And I would have to tuck it--
I would have to tuck it under me, as soon as they
were like, OK, action.
Action.
And you're like, oh.
No.
Yeah.
I was sweating, like sweating.
OK.
Now tell us about this.
OK.
Let me see if I can work this out.
Tell me about this.
Oh.
Oh my God.
Oh, where did it go?
I need my top, I don't want my boobies to be seen.
Oh, we can't get canceled.
Where did we wear this to?
"Tired Of California," music video.
I was hitchhiking.
So I hope this is giving hitchhiker vibes.
Did you wear these shoes?
Yes.
I wore these ones.
OK.
Lovely.
It was so much fun.
I was hanging out of a car.
So not the best top situation for that.
But it worked out.
It's fabulous.
I love this, young forever.
What do we wear at the bottom?
These leg warmers.
Oh, this is leg warmer.
I thought these were little arm gauntlets.
Oh, this is a look.
This is cute.
Girl.
No.
I am obsessed with leg warmers, recently.
I try to literally wear them with every outfit.
But I have never seen nice ones like this, girl.
This is, OK, for the girls.
No more using fur.
No more using cotton, honey.
We need feathers on the leg warmers.
OK.
Feathers.
That's expensive, girl.
That's fashion.
OK.
Now, tell us about this.
This is cute.
This is a [INAUDIBLE].
Yes.
It's a one of one.
We did live screen printings at a tattoo event
that I hosted for my album.
So they kind of made a pattern on the spot.
I thought it was so cool.
Yeah.
And we actually used that for inspo
for my deluxe Young Forever extended cover art.
I love.
And then tell us about this one.
This one, I love so much.
My favorite music video ever, "Die First,"
this was the look in it.
And we honestly-- it looks like I was wearing a dress
but we layered a bunch of tops and skirts.
And then, I've never really worn a jacket like this
but it was so fun and I--
Really?
Being from the East Coast.
I know.
OK.
Tell me about the song, when you wrote the song.
I was just really scared to lose the people that I love.
I feel that was my biggest fear.
Is it around the same time that you lost your friend?
Actually, before.
It's just crazy because I wrote that song, that
was his favorite one, his favorite song.
And he ended up passing.
And then, I already was planning on releasing this song,
and we had to release it after.
And it was just hard, and tough.
And it's just really weird timing, terrible timing.
And then, luckily though, we were
able to add a dedication at the end of the video.
That's beautiful.
Yeah.
So it was nice.
I love that you use your music, not
only is to share your artistry but very much
an outlet for your therapy.
And I think that that's very beautiful for today's
generation.
I think, today we have a lot more language
than we did yesteryears to be able to say,
this is how I feel, this is what I'm going through.
So I think, it's just so powerful.
You're a trooper, superstar, the queen, the diva.
OK.
Just to recognize your power, girl, and step in.
All right.
[INAUDIBLE] before you go, I want to play a game with you.
Do you mind?
You don't.
Let's play some rapid fire questions.
You see how I coordinate.
Yes.
If you could only use one beauty product, just one,
what would it be?
Blush.
100%.
Oh, I do agree.
Yeah.
Because if you had great liner but look dead in the face,
it would be horrible.
I can go no makeup, and just put blush on,
and it's like different person.
Very True.
What is your favorite free time activity?
Oh, I love diamond paintings.
What's diamond paintings?
Do you know color by number?
Yeah.
It's kind of like that.
Oh, but the big--
Yes.
But with gems.
So it's like colored gems.
And it's so fun.
And I have really bad OCD, so it helps me so much.
It's amazing.
Oh, I might get some of these on Amazon.
That sounds cute.
And then it makes decoration.
Yeah.
Oh.
Done.
What is your go to karaoke song?
Probably, "Creep" by Radiohead.
I don't know.
Any throwback song.
When you first said, "Creep," until you said Radiohead,
I thought you meant TLC.
Do you know that?
No.
Oh, God.
No, don't do that to me.
Don't do that to me.
I Know.
One word to describe yourself.
I feel, honest.
I feel that's a good one.
I'm very open.
And it's easy for me to be vulnerable, even to the public.
Vulnerable, transparent, honest, open.
I'm here for that.
OK.
Here you go.
Last one.
What is one goal you have for this new year?
I'd love to finish second album.
I feel that's a goal.
Yeah.
I love that you're not even wasting time like, let me just
ride the [INAUDIBLE].
So eager.
No.
You're like, no, I want to put the next one out.
That's why you that girl, Nessa.
[INAUDIBLE] Oh, my gosh, Nessa.
Thank you so much for coming.
You are so sweet, so--
an inspiration, even to me.
Thank you.
Thank you for just giving us all the fashions.
Of course.
Thank you for letting me keep my dress and the fur coat.
[LAUGHS] Nessa, we walked in, we got
to know the stories behind the fashion,
and now we're about to walk out.
Thank you so much for coming, my dear.
Of course.
