You released your record I’ve Seen The Lizard People last month. It cements the pivot in sound from your earlier releases and a new era of artistry. What led to this shift?
The shift was just me finding my actual sound. When I first moved to London, I was hearing so much soul music everywhere, and I just got really influenced by that. I realized it was a bit of a force as it didn’t come that naturally to me, so I just started experimenting. 2020-2021 were crazy years for me—I just tried everything and kept the best parts.
The record’s title links to the Lizard People conspiracy that prominent societal figures are extraterrestrial lizards in human skin trying to gain power over the Earth. Would you say the record has a message about things not being as they seem?
Ah, well, I was kind of playing with the idea more as a metaphor, kinda like, “I’ve seen it all”. But in a lot of tracks on the project, I talk about confusion in love and things that seem to feel one way but, in reality, are not.
Which celebrities do you think are likely to be Lizard People?
Pretty much every billionaire because how and why?
