NEW KIDS, SALT AND PEPPA, EN
VOGUE, RICK ASTLY.
I CAN’T BELIEVE WE’RE TOURING
WITH THOSE LEGENDS.
IT’S GOING TO BE A NIGHT OF HITS
AND FUN AND IT’S LONG OVERDUE.
IT’S BEEN A FEW YEARS SINCE
WE’VE TOURED.
IT’S BEEN A FEW YEARS SINCE A
LOT OF OUR FANS HAVE BEEN ABLE
TO GO TO CONCERTS.
WE CAN’T WAIT TO BRING LOVE AND
ENERGY BACK TO THEM AND TO JUST
ENJOY THE LOVE AND ENERGY THAT
THEY ALL BRING TO US.
>> Tati: THERE WILL BE A LOT
OF IT, THAT’S FOR SURE.
WHAT ARE YOU GUYS LOOKING
FORWARD TO ON THIS TOUR?
>> EVERYTHING.
>> YEAH.
>> BEING OUTSIDE, GOING PLACE,
HAVING FUN.
I MEAN, IT’S BEEN A WHILE FOR
EVERYBODY.
WE BELIEVE IN OUR HEARTS THAT WE
HAVE THE GREATEST FANS IN THE
HISTORY OF MUSIC SO HAVE A GOOD
TIME WITH THEM AGAIN AND
CELEBRATE AND WE REALLY FEEL
FORTUNATE THAT WE HAVE THE FANS
WE HAVE.
WE COME FROM THE ERA WE CAME.
FROM WE’RE STILL DOING WHAT WE
GET TO DO.
AGAIN, ALL THESE ACTS ARE TOTAL
PROS AND READY TO HAVE A GOOD
TIME.
>> Tati: SPEAKING OF OTHER
ACTS, WHAT’S IT LIKE TO BE ON
STAGE WITH PEOPLE YOU HAVE KNOWN
AND RESPECTED FOR SUCH A LONG
TIME?
>> WELL, SALT AND PEPPA, THEY
WERE WITH US LAST TOUR.
IT’S SO EXCITING TO VEM THEM
BACK AGAIN.
BUT I’M JUST SO EXCITED ABOUT
RICK ASTLY AND ENVOLT THIS IS
GOING TO BE THE BEST SHOW EVER.
>> WE’RE EXCITED.
>> A LOT OF PINCH OURSELVES
MOMENTS
>> Tati: YOU ALSO DROPPED A
NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO CALLED
BRING BACK THE TIMES, ALSO
FEATURING SALT AND PEPPA, RICK
ASTLY, AND EN VOGUE.
TELL US ABOUT IT.
>> IT’S A SONG THAT JUST REALLY
CAPTURES WHAT THE MIXED-TAPE
TOUR IS ALL ABOUT.
THE VIDEO IS A LOT OF FUN.
IT’S TRIBUTING MULTIPLE VIDEOS
FROM THE ’80s AND, YOU KNOW,
THE ERA WHEN WE ALL FIRST
CONNECTED WITH OUR FANS.
I THINK IT’S JUST REALLY ABOUT,
YOU KNOW, EVERYONE HAS BEEN
THROUGH SO MUCH, YOU KNOW, IN
THEIR LIVES, EVEN BEFORE, YOU
KNOW, THE PANDEMIC AND STUFF.
EVERYONE HAS BEEN TRUE SO MUCH.
WE’RE ALL GETTING A LITTLE
OLDER.
IT’S IMPORTANT THAT WE TAKE THE
TIME TO CELEBRATE THE LITTLE
THINGS AND REMEMBER TO SORT OF
HONOR THAT AGE OF INNOCENCE THAT
WE ALL HAD.
AND TO GIVE OURSELVES A GOOD
TIME.
I THINK THAT’S WHAT THE SONG
REPRESENTS.
THAT’S WHAT THE VIDEO
REPRESENTS, AND THAT THAT’S WHAT
WE REPRESENT.
>> Tati: ALL RIGHT.
YOU HAVE ALSO SOLD MORE THAN 80
MILLION ALBUMS WORLDWIDE.
WHEN YOU WERE JUST STARTING OUT
IN BOSTON, DID YOU EVER THINK
THAT YOU WOULD BE THIS
MULTIPLATINUM POP STAR SUPER
GROUP?
AND STILL BE TOURING?
>> NO.
I THINK WE WOULD HAVE JUST BEEN
HAPPY HAVING ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY
A SCOOTER AND GO AROUND BOSTON
ON OUR SCOOTERS.
WE NEVER DREAMT THIS BIG.
AND TO BE HERE 35 YEARS LATER,
THAT’S DEFINITELY A BLESSING.
>> Rhonda: THAT IS INDEED A
BLESSING.
INDEED.
NOW, WILL YOU HAVE TIME TO SEE
DETROIT AND HANG OUT A LITTLE
BIT?
IF SO, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO CHECK
OUT?
YOU COULD COME HERE, THAT’S FOR
SURE.
>> I REMEMBER TAKING A BIKE RIDE
AROUND THE ARENA AND SEEING THE
NEW BUILDINGS GOING UP AND THE
NEW NEIGHBORHOODS AND JUST THE
HISTORY, IT’S... THE HISTORY IS
SO RICH AND IT’S A GREAT TOWN
AND SO MANY DIFFERENT ASPECTS
AND WE LOVE PLAYING IN THE CITY
AGAIN, GOING OUT THE WHERE THE
PISTONS USED TO PLAY WAS COOL,
BUT I LOVE THAT THE ARENA IS IN
DETROIT HOW NOW.
>> Tati: DEFINITELY.
>> IN THE D
>> Tati: HAVE YOU HAD A CHANCE
TO CHECK OUT THE MOTOWN MUSEUM?
>> MOTOWN MUSEUM
>> NO, THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.
>> FIELD TRIP.
>> YEAH, WE WOULD LOVE THAT
>> Tati: FIELD TRIP.
HOPEFULLY THAT CAN HAPPEN FOR
YOU GUYS WHEN YOU MAKE IT TO
DETROIT, OF COURSE, STOP BY THE
LOCAL 4 STUDIO IF YOU FEEL
INCLINED.
WE WILL GLADLY WELCOME YOU, BUT
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING
US, AND CAN’T WAIT FOR THE SHOW
TO COME TO DETROIT.
