LA: I know. I love my Blundstones too. Actually, that was a pandemic shoe.
CC: Yeah, definitely.
LA: Because I was just trouncing around Brooklyn on my daily prescribed walk.
CC: And they’re perfect.
LA: And that was it.
CC: And I think they have one cut that’s a little more fashionable, but if they took that infrastructure and did a little something with it, it would be a game changer.
LA: I actually really like, there’s a Scandinavian brand called Vagabond and they have a very good range of boots.
CC: Writing this down. I am familiar, but I haven’t ever worn a pair, so that’s good to know.
LA: I like them and they’re quite, they last
CC: Okay, cool. Because I’m boots year round.
LA: Yeah.
CC: Boots with every outfit.
LA: Yeah. Can you tour glamorously?
CC: No. Touring is not glamorous unless you’re at a much higher level where you’re having your own bus and your plane and all that.
LA: Unless you’re Madonna.
CC: Yeah, exactly. There is nothing more exhausting, and it’s very lonely and it’s very hard. They key is pack as little as possible and sleep anywhere you possibly can and drink a ton of water. And that’s kind of it.
LA: Rules to live by, I’d say.
CC: Yeah, sleeping and drinking water will fix everything, that’s ever, yeah.
LA: Coming up, Cat’s new album, which she recorded in London.
We’re back with CC.
In addition to all the work we’ve been talking about and the tours and in addition to your new special, Come For Me, you also have an album coming out in November.
CC: Yes. Stream it.
LA: Joining the pop girlies. Tell me about the album. What is it? What are you doing on it? How did it come to be, because you have so much music in your sets that it feels natural to me.
CC: Totally. Yeah, it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time. And it was just about, I met this woman Catarina, who works at Elektra Records, and she kind of just made it happen, introduced me to this amazing producer named Curos in London, and we found a window, we had nine days, and we just made it. It’s like half old songs, half new. The first single’s out now, so y’all don’t delay. Go listen to Can You Send Me That on Spotify. It’s about wanting to get your picture taken at a party. Or more specifically it’s about when someone takes your picture at a party and then you’re like, “Wait, how do I get that photo?”
