I’m a fan of that music sometimes, but needless to say, it’s not where I tend to kind of voyage. It’s not really my world, that sort of full-blown pop thing. Was it always that one song? Were there any other candidates or anything? So it was all very easy and very organic and really just the best part of it was meeting Carly Ray Jepsen.
And so I just went with that, and then went to her house one day and she had this track and I sang on it, and I went back, corrected some things, and presto, was done. She’s a lovely human being and very kind, and yes, is a big fan and really knew my work in detail.
And I did.Īnd the first thing you’d realize about her when you actually meet her in person is just how sweet she is. And I was alerted by my younger staff that she is this very successful pop person and I should have a conversation. But then, we got a message from her, I think on Instagram, that she was a huge fan and would love to work with me. Yes! I had heard of Carly Rae Jepsen, and of course I knew a couple of her massive hits from a few years ago. It’s such a different place to be hearing you. Some highlights from Wainwright’s interview: To hear the entire episode, which also includes a tribute to the late Takeoff of Migos with Andre Gee and Simon Vozick-Levinson, and a discussion with Tomas Mier about the TikTok “remix” phenomenon, listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, or press play above.
In the new episode of Rolling Stone Music Now, Wainwright talks about the making of the song and its equally viral video, as well as the larger phenomenon of TIkTokers essentially engaging in crowd-sourced remixing or A&R-ing of songs, ignoring the intended hooks for other parts they prefer.
