When I met Alicia Keys for the first time she was 18 coming from school to my tiny studio on 54th Street. She sat down and had this confidence without being cocky. Same thing with Lady Gaga. I think it's a New York energy street wise self-aware no need to be too showy but you kind of know you're the real deal. In February of 2018 you released your first single 1950 which was one of those songs that seemed to capture the imagination of the whole world at once. The first week after it's release 1950 reached a million streams after that the pace increased by almost a million streams a day. Harry Styles tweeted the lyrics. And Kardashian loved it on Instagram
