00:00Hey, it's Reva Lene, and this is Face to Music with InStyle.
00:03Carrie Hilson in A Perfect World, Loose by Nelly Furtado, A Camino Del Sol, and I love
00:09this album.
00:10If you haven't heard it, please listen to it.
00:12Control by SZA, Janet Jackson, All For You.
00:15Anyone who knows me knows Janet is mother.
00:19I wrote it in a time where I was going through so much change and experiencing one of the
00:24biggest highs in my career.
00:26So a lot of it is me understanding the type of artist I want to be.
00:29A lot of the process was challenging the idea that Black artists have to stay within a
00:35certain box.
00:36Working with stylists and creative directors who helped me formulate that language is such
00:42a fun part of the process, and it allows me to kind of get away from the music for a
00:47second
00:47and think about what character am I building in tandem with the music.
00:53Definitely underrated in the States.
00:55Kishore Kumar, I'm a massive fan of.
00:58Cat Power, Sea of Love, and Juno.
01:01He's crying after she had the baby, and then that song starts so good.
01:05Al McKeith, I love Pokemon I love Pokemon I love don't be the only one thing I love
01:05but I only have to sing with my thoughts instead of it.
