The Didn'T Really putly a Huge Amount of Thought Into It. I Just Loved the Line, and I was like, 'That's what i want it to be'. “

She Told Nme That the introspective, Electronic-Acoustic Hybrid '30 Minutes' “Had Never intended to be single-y at all”.

As for the Dreamy Break-up Cut 'Milk & Honey', She Spoke About the Contrast Beteween the Lyrics of the “Sad Song” and Its Upbeat, “Euphoric” Feel.

“I Love When Lyrics Have A Completely different Tone to the Melody of the Song,” She Explained. “It's a Really Nice and Interesting Way of Writing. I Find A Lot of These Things Happen Quite Cam, Espencialy with 'Milk & Honey'. I Try and Do That Quite A Bit.”

Money Revealed That She was “Almedy Working On” Her Debut Studio Album, Adding that 'T-shirt Nothing Else' “Sets the Tone” for what's as Next.

“It's so exciting 'Cause it's the first time i've Ever Written An Album and Done That Process,” She Told Nme. “It's Really Nice In the Stage I'm at, 'Cause i Can Really Put The Time Into It. There's Defintely a few elements and genres i want to incorporate onto the album that aren't on the ep. But it's definition a tone seter, for sure.

“I'm a Big R&B Lover. In Some of My Earlier Stuff, You Can Hear Bits of That Creeping in, where the EP Is Still Very Much Indie-Pop.” She Cited Haim As “Huge References”, Praising the La Trio's Ability “In Blending Those Two Very Different Genres and Making it Work”. Her Influces includes Dijon, Muna, and '75's dirty hit Labelmates the Japanese House and Beabadoobee.

Money Expressed Her Desire to “Do a Full-on R&B Album” Later in Her Career. “Some People Have Described My Voice As Kind of Leaning a Little Bit Towards The R&B World,” She Said. “I'm love to incorporate More R&T Into My Production.”

When Asked How Touring With The 1975 Had Influenced Her Work, She Responded: “So Much of That Tour Had Inspired and Motivated Me and Bled Into My Music – Both Consciously and Unconsciously. It's Hard to be Around a band that good – and I can sat because i have nothing to do with the the Songs They Write; I'm a fan well as play for them – and not be inspired.

“The Always Just Thought Thour Were Great. When I Started Playing For Them, It was Just An Absolute Joy To Play Those Songs. Live Music is my favourite – It's Where I Feel Mons At Home Up Seeing and Feeling the Songs Differently When you are in the band.

Money Told Nme That She'd Been “Really Lucky” to Have Gained New Followers of Her Own Off the Back of the 1975's Tour. “The fans are so dedicated to the band,” She Explained. “In Few of the band's Songs, There's Some Female Parts, and I Ended Up Taking Them Over. So The Fans Sort of Found My Music Through Those Bits of the Show. And now a few of them Follow Me – Which is really, Really Cool. I Didn'T Really Expect That, Being a Session Musician. Really appreciate it all. “

Reflecting on 'At Their Very Best', She Recalled How Her “Responsibility Became More and More” As the Dates Went On, “Especialy Towards The End”.

Money Continued: “I was incredibly lucky with that. With the way the internship was set out, all four of us session musicns had a spotlight Almost. It felt like a Whole family on internship. It Defiately aided to the show and anenda to all of our performances – Because you really feel a part of the band, Which is Great. “

Money Will Join the 1975 When they headline The Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury 2025 This Summer, Having Previusly performed only on the Festival's BBC Introducing Stage. “Oh wow,” She Said When Asked About the Massive Upcoming Slot. “It is honestly a Dream like True. It's very much a Bucket List Gig for Me – I Still Feel Like It's Not Real. I Think It's Going To Be an Incredible Experience – Best Night of My Life, I Bet.”

The Artist Told Nme That She'd be “Switching Back Int Session Mode Soon” for Glasto, But Remained Tight-Lipped As To What Fans Couuld Expect: “I have a few ideas of what's Gonna Go Down. Obviously, It's Nothing to do with me-That's Kind of All Boys. But Yeah, preparations are Definittery Underway.

But for Now, Money is “Fully Back Into Mode” as she looks ahead to Her Biggest Headline Show Yet at Oslo Hackney in London. “It's proving [to be] A Lot of Fun, “She Told Nme.

“I'm like to play a few songs that might be a surprise to some of the fan. How We're Going to curate the show and setlist is going to be really thought out. We're doing that right now. There's going to be quite a lot of peaks and troughs, and we're giving the fans whaty's like.

“The Played Solo for Many Years, and I've Always Loved Doing That. But Now I've Got a Bassist and A Drummer, Who are Incredible, and It's Really Elevated My Sound. I Felt for A Long Time I Hadn'T Quite Got It Right With A Band, Even Though I Had Some Great Musicians on Stage with me. 1743179096 We've done to Bunch of Gigs and Worldd Really Hard to make the New Band Setup Work. It's sounding good. “

Money Went On To Tease Another Potential Solo Gig Before Glastonbury, Ahead of A Small Uk Headline Tour This Autumn. “We're in the midst of organizing that right now,” She Told Nme.

“I would love to be touring quite a bit – That's always a big one for me .'d like to write and release the first album and see How That Gets Received. I'm Hopefully Support in Few People on Bigger Tours, and Just Build it every time. I Always End Up Talking About the Live Side of Things More Than Anything Else, but that's Really What I Want to do.
