during the pandemic and it's almost like an antidote to the despair of that time. geico definitely. when i got back in the studio with the guys that i wrote it with, nobody was in the mood to write ballads, and my previous album was much more personal and deep and i really had to, you know, go into myself to write that. it was just refreshing to go in and just be like let's write some big pop records, and so we did. ♪ ♪ >> i've listened to some of the tracks, it's all about love and uplift. i read that you were also expecting her first child, your son come at the time. how did that impact do you think your songwriting and artistry? >> i think at that time i -- it was still all very surreal to me. i was perhaps slightly in denial about it all happening. but in a good way in that you know, i wasn't letting it kind

other things and suddenly to go back to just sitting on the floor for half an hour watching him play, it just grounds you. >> and how does that compare to the frenetic pace that you had throughout your 20s? because, you know, your love life was in the tablets, you work -- it was messy. >> that was a superfund time. you know, that stuff isn't real. >> it's a facade of some sort? >> yeah, in a way. i know that it comes with the territory a bit just because naturally when you put music out into the world, people are fascinated by where does that song come from and just start to become interested in you, now addicted to finding out things about people, wanting to know all the time. the more it intensifies the more you can actually come back out of it and be like that stuff is just like not th the real world. >> you're not only putting out a new album, you have a new streaming special and you shot it at a very special place, especially given your environmentalist background. eco-q gardens in richmond in the

>> my goodness, no idea. i think that -- i don't know, i think i will be on tour, i haven't quite planned it yet. but i'm sure it's going to be an incredible day. i think people are really excited to celebrate it. you know, it's been quite a tough few years in the u.k. and everywhere really, i don't think anyone has escaped the events that are happening in the world and obviously our beloved queen passed away and so i think it's just something to look forward to and i -- you know, they will have an amazing lineup whoever it is. >> so what's next for you? one of the projects you are looking for on your horizon? >> lots of things, actually. i have a few different things i'm working on but i'm working on this classical project which i'm very excited about. and then we are also trying to figure out how we can do the tour is green -- is physically possible and try and make a mark so that other people can follow suit, other artists and people

on the road, so i just feel like we have a responsibility to do that. >> thank you for using a platform to help the environment thanks for showing up today. >> thank you having me! >> really lovely to meet you. >> you too. >> up next, why everything is coming up roses for miley crus thanks to her hit, "flowers." ♪ ♪ ♪ i can buy myself flowers ♪ ♪ write my name in the sand ♪ ♪ talk to myself for hours ♪ ♪ talk to myself for hours ♪ ♪ say things you don't moderate to severe eczema still disrupts my skin. despite treatment it disrupts my skin with itch. it disrupts my skin with rash. but now, i can disrupt eczema with rinvoq. rinvoq is not a steroid, topical, or injection. it's one pill, once a day. many taking rinvoq saw clear or almost-clear skin
