Welcome Jaden Smith to "Fresh Out Live."
What's going on Jaden?
- What's up?
How are you?
I'm so glad to be here, thank you for doing this interview.
- Now Jaden, a lot has been happening in the world.
How have you been during quarantine?
- Quarantine has been so crazy for me,
I just been trying to spend time with my family, honestly
and I've been playing a lot of guitar really.
I've been learning to play guitar and trying to you know,
just become more musical
and learn more about instrumentation
and it's just been a beautiful time for me
to really just reflect, look inside and be like,
you know, how can I better tomorrow?
And what can I do today,
you know, since I have all this time
to become closer to that person
that I see myself being tomorrow.
- Which is an icon living.
- 100%.
- [Jamila] Now let's talk about one thing I'm excited about
is Cabin Fever, this is a new track.
You put that on, the beat, the vibe,
it just gives you such a cool summer vibe.
Tell me about that record.
- So really I love that song
and it's kinda like the quarantine love song
where it's like you know, you fall in love
and then you know, it's like a summer thing
and then you know, everybody's on lockdown
and you're like ah, I have this girl that I really like
but I can't see her.
You know what I mean?
And it's like man, like I really wanna see her.
So it's kinda like that struggle of like
Romeo and Juliet kind of,
but instead of the families holding them apart,
it's like the world that's kinda holding them apart
and like all odds are against them
and like I kinda, you know,
kinda pulled this from some real life experiences
and like also like
kinda dreamed in the back of my head a little bit
'cause you know I like you create stories around my music.
So that's kinda what the story of it is
and like I'm really excited about it and I feel like,
I'm hoping that people can relate to it as well
with you know, having that person that you wanna see
and then feeling like the whole world is like
stopping you from seeing them, literally.
- But guess what?
Nothing can stop love.
- No, no.
Facts.
- Many of your fans first caught a glimpse of Cabin Fever
in the promo shoot that you did
for your New Balance commercial.
Tell us about that partnership
and what was it like collabing with New Balance.
- [Jaden] You know,
we've been working on a collab for a long time
and it's finally now coming around with the Vision Racer.
You know, I actually,
I wore the normal New Balance X Racer
on the stage at Coachella
and I just really loved how it looked on my feet
and the vibe they gave me when I was performing
and I was like, man I really wanna create like
something in the vein of this shoe.
But I just kinda wanna make it like bigger and more me
and you know, when I was first started with them
they said that they wanted me to really design a shoe
that didn't necessarily look like a New Balance shoe.
They wanted a shoe that people could look at instantly
and say that Jaden Smith designed the shoe,
so I was like, "Okay, let's do it, let's make it happen."
And I came with the Vision Racer
and you know, I really just wanted to make something
that I would wanna perform in, that I would wanna wear,
that I would wanna, you know, hang out in with my friends
and the fact that it seems as though
other people are also liking it too,
like it's, it's so cool
and I'm glad that other people can feel like, you know,
they would wear the shoes too.
Because you know, I just wanted to make something
that I really loved first and foremost.
- You're like the gift that keeps on giving.
We got a new single today, we got some new sneakers today.
When can we get a new album?
- Here's what I say, here's what I say,
the album is called "Cool Tape Volume Three."
- Cool Tape Volume Three.
- Yes.
- [Jamila] What made you wanna re-visit
the Cool Tape series?
- I felt like I never ended off that story, you know?
I feel like I kinda like
birthed my fan base with Cool Tape Volume One
and like the song "The Coolest That I Have"
and then like I kept the fan base going
with Cool Tape Volume Two and my song "PCH" with my sister
and they were like,
"Oh my God, they're together and they're doing things."
And then I kinda like let people hang
and then I just went really sire
and acted like all that stuff never happened
and now I'm like, "Oh, I'm icon living now."
And like all that never happened and it's like uh,
all that did happen and it made me who I am today
and you know, I cut off
in the most interesting part of the story where it's like
Cool Tape Volume One, Cool Tape Volume Two, I'm good
and then like silence and then I'm not good, I'm sire,
I'm trapped in the sunset and all this stuff
and it's like oh well, but what happened?
Like how did you get there?
Who's who in this story?
What happened?
That's what Cool Tape Volume Three is about,
it's completing like the trilogy
of the Cool Tape Volume Threes
and then it's also kinda completing the trilogies
of my, of Sire and Iris at the same time.
So it's like, it's putting an end to like
two eras at once so that I can then
go off into the future and into the next thing after that.
- Thank you so much for joining me and my Fresh Out family,
we support your music.
- Cabin Fever out now, thank you so much.
I appreciate it so much.
