Speaker 1 (00:00):
One to two point seven. It's kiss FM. Lady Gaga
doing it again tonight at Coachella.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's going to say good.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
How many of my friends went to Coachella without telling
me they were going to Coachella weekend one until after
they got back because they stopped inviting you they probably
you'll probably say no every single time I do. But
still you want to be what happens? I went to Coachella?
What really? What? Who all you guys when? Tell me
fomo a little bit. Yeah, they were driving back on Monday. Yeah,
(00:28):
driving back on Monday, got day off? Drive back on
a Monday. Oh look, Josh Grovin just popped in this Josh,
everybody ever was just popping.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
In there is I also was not a Coachella.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
But you know, have you ever been asked to play Coachella?
Josh Grobn.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
No, I've not been asked to play Coachella. I've been
to Coachella and it's always been very eclectic. But I
think like in the recent years it's become even more eclectic.
Like they've got the La Phill there now and they've
got that on Zimmer.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
But doesn't that introduce the concept of a Josh.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Grobin I think I think maybe I never thought that
my voice would actually would ever work for an environment
like that. But you know the great thing is that
those audiences now, like they really listened to everything. I
was talking to somebody that they when they heard the
La Phil starting the John Williams score, like people flocked
over to that stage.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
And so you know, never say never, I'd be I'd
be thrilled and honored to do something over there.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Sometimes I do think that is what is so cool.
I remember when we first started talking about Coachella, however
many years ago, when it was when it was starting,
it was just like an independent festival, right, and it
was this ultimate, very alternative.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
That's when I first went to it.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Yeah, so you and have you what was the last
time you went?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Last time I was at Coachella was like fifteen years ago.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Like I went, I went early early on, and it
was that it was very kind of homespun and maybe
a little less than fifteen years ago. But I saw
I remember seeing like Narls Barkley do their very first
ever performance of Crazy.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
It It Uh, it was a cool, it was cool.
It's still cool.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I just now now, I think to myself, I just
I probably won't be able to get a hotel room,
so I just watching it because I don't want to go.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I just I wind up thinking.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
That it's so easy to stream it now.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
It's so to stream it now, exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yeah, Josh Grovin is here. There's a lot to cover
with Josh. Let's start with thank you for your generosity
on American Idol with these young contestants who are just
trying to figure it out for themselves.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Man, it was my privilege. And they're great. I mean,
they're they're so talented. It's such a great group.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
It is every year.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
But honestly, like when I was just standing there with
Jelly and listening to them singing. The first time I
heard them sing was like just out on the balcony
at the Alani and there was no reverb, there's no mic,
there was nothing. It was just them and you know
the sound of kids playing in the pool behind us.
And they cut through, they cut their talent cut through,
so they were there were It's always great when you
know exactly what you need to say to somebody to
(02:40):
just elevate it to that thing. There are some people
where it's just there's a lot of things they need
to work on these these finalists many they have already
so many things going for them that it didn't take
much to give them kind of the thing they needed.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Jelly Roll and Josh Grobin worked with the contestants on America. Now,
if you missed that, we were in Hawaii and I
had a chance to see Josh in the gym. The
guy gets after us, right.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
You get after it.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Man, I'm gonna I'm gonna start doing some of the
movies you're doing.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
I truly I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
I'm doing a lot of things, but I'm not doing
them with like fifty pound ankle weights.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Yeah, I got those ankle weights for my butt blasters.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Yeah, he's butt blasting. And it is like, I didn't
want to ruin your zone because you were you were
really you were in it.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
But but yeah, that it.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
It's nice to have the two hour time shift when
you go to Hawaii, isn't it. Because you get up
just a little bit earlier, you feel rested. You're like, no, what,
I think I'm gonna go hit the gym. I'm gonna
get in there, and yeah, exactly, hit the pool. I
told myself, don't get sunburned before your performance clothing.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Don't which starts oh wait so and he of course
he did the mentor and then he performed this song,
which I for the first time. This is the first
time I had heard it was the it.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Was my first time ever performing Be all Right was
on the Idol stage, and so it felt like a
good message just for where we are right now in
the world, but also just for the finalists that are
all they're they're nervous, their whole futures ahead of them,
and I wanted to sing something that would I could
dedicate to kind of their futures and everything that they
taught me during that week too.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Let me play a little bit of it right here.
This Soames fun Sam's to me, what I think is
(04:31):
so fascinating about what you can do, what artists can do,
is that that was that comes out of thin air,
like there's nothing that exists, like that is completely from
your brain and from your creativity and the ideas that
you have the music and thinks right. And I said
to you when I heard it, and I think you
saw the crowd doing the same thing, which is what
you want. After sixty seconds, they're sitting the hook.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
They were singing along watching Lionel sing along like that's
a real that's a that's a fun thing when everybody
kind of gets it and starts to sing along and
feel the spirit of it.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Sometimes you write.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Things that you just kind of need to hear in
those moments, and that was definitely one of them. And
I'd written that song a couple of years ago with
a wonderful writer named Phil Lawrence has done a lot
of work with Bruno Mars and a lot of other people,
and it was kind of a soulful song for me,
but it was one that just made me feel good
every time I sang it. And so as we were
releasing this best of and when to put a couple
of new things on there, I thought, what, you know, what,
what is it that I want to sing right now?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
What is it will make me feel good to be
on stage singing? And that was it. So it was
awesome to do it with that back backdrop.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
I was listening to it and of course Idle is
a Disney show, Disney show, right or an ABC Disney
And I'm thinking, there's a that's a perfect song for
a Disney movie.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Ah, listen your mouth to Mickey's Ears, Miami.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Do it like this is the perfect song for like
the animated Superstar at Disney Universe.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
I feel like this is playing in the background while
the King goes.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Something like it's going to be a right.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Exit through the Gifts.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
