-Okay, so it's 8:30 in the morning.
Why am I awake?
I sort of unexpectedly started writing an album,
and I just felt really inspired and I went with it.
And I recorded an entire album with The Roots remotely.
♪♪
Cheers!
This is so wild!
You know, when lockdown first started,
I heard Taylor was writing songs,
and I thought I was feeling inspired too,
so maybe I should write some music.
I remember I called you, Tariq, and I asked if you'd help me.
And you said --
-"Only if you pay me a lot of money."
-Exactly.
And, Quest, I texted you, and I said,
"Hey, do you want to work on something together?"
And you said --
-"How did you get this number?"
-Yeah, but actually, I was getting pretty bored,
so I said, "Okay."
-It's just a lot of the themes in my songs
are hard to talk about.
But I know other people are probably
going through the same things. -Yeah.
-So maybe the music will resonate with them.

-This next track, when you sent me the lyrics, I was...

I think this may be one of the best songs you've ever written.
-It was a different side of you that I really never seen before.
It was -- It was different.
-Thank you. Thank you.

-You know, in general, with this album,
I love how honest you were with your lyrics.
-I felt like I was in quarantine with you.
-I was just inspired by the communal experience
that we're all having.
Alone, but together.
Together, but alone.
-Damn.
That's deep.

Yeah, you know, I was home with my two young daughters 24/7,
and even that gave me some ideas.
So I felt a real connection to this next song,
and I wanted to do a duet with Chris Martin.
And I didn't think he would ever do it.
But we reached out to his team and, incredibly, he said yes.

-It's just so amazing what we've managed to put together.
-Yeah, I'm excited for this documentary to come out too.
-What documentary?
-Isn't this going to Disney+ like Taylor's?
-Oh, no, Disney+ didn't want it.
Neither did Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Peacock.
-Peacock said no?!
-I know.
Not great.
But look, it's fine. We're not Taylor.
You know, she's a musical genius.
We can't do what she did, but we can still be proud.
We made something beautiful.
We made something real and honest and from the heart.
Quest?
Tariq?
Guys?
