After a long day of reading sheet music for my album, I was finally allowed to leave the building. It was 9:00pm and I was exhausted. My contacts are dry, my vision is blurry and i feel delusional from staring at a white page filled with black lines all day. I said bye to the producer who was working with me and headed to the elevators to take me upstairs to get my bag from the locker rooms.

And not to my surprise, they were there. All 12 of them were there rehearsing their choreography for what looks like Call Me Baby. Not going to lie, I’ve danced along to the entire music video perfectly. That’s something unique I like about my im
