ShenseeaIt’s just like me coming back stronger than ever because I’ve been through a lot for the past two years. I’m going to be riding a dragon, don’t tell nobody. Hey guys, it’s your girl Shenseea and you’re watching Billboard News.
Tetris KellyHey it’s Tetris with Billboard News, I am being blinded by the star power today from my girl, Shenseea.
Tetris KellyYou picked the great time to come by.
ShenseeaYes!
Tetris KellyYour new album is about to come out very soon, ‘Never Gets Late Here.’ How are you feeling?
ShenseeaI’m feeling really good. You know, I’m excited. It’s my second project. So a little bit nervous. But you know, because you know, you set a tone with the first one. And you should always try to beat the first one. So it’s a little bit pressuring. But I’m still excited and just going with it nonetheless,
Tetris KellyWell, let’s talk about the title first ‘Never Gets Late Here.’ What does that referencing, it means?
Shenseea It means to me, timeless music you can put on this album, and it just never gets old. You know, it’s pretty deep. And I love timeless music. That’s the type of music that I grew up on. And that’s the type of music I think that lasts and really inspires great artists to come. And I want to be able to do that as well, because I’ve been inspired by many great artists.
Tetris KellyThat’s a great goal to set out on.
ShenseeaYes.
