Hey, Zach.
How are you doing?
Dude, I'm doing pretty freakingUsed to emphasize an adjective or adverb amazing to be honest.
When it comes to interviews, what popped up in my mind first was you.
'Cause I told the label that if I have to interview with somebody, it's got to be Zach—number one.
So, thanks for having me.
Brother, thank you.
That really is your kindness and your trust, and it means the world to me—and it's meant the world since the very beginning.
And we're having a discussion.
This is, by the way, this is weird for the two of us because usually when I'm talking to you, there's—you know—I don't know—there's a bunch of other people around.
Of course.
This is a direct conversation about a body of work, bro, that is so incredibly special and unique—and so beautifully unexpected—and a journey from start to finish.
No two songs sound alike, and your rangeThe extent of variation between two limits sonically and vocally—from rapping to crooning to acoustic—like, bro, it is bravoAn expression of approval or admiration.
Like, what do you set goals before you start making this album?
First, appreciate it—uh—for noticing.
Um, actually, there was no goal, actually, you know.
After my last mixtapeA collection of songs recorded onto a tape or digital file, I was like—lost—and wondering, like, 'Oh, what should I do right now?'
And you know, like a lot of stuff was going on with BTS.
So I had to, you know, investTo put time my rest and the time to, you know, focus on my solo work.
And you know, as usual, I just started—I started with a song.
And, um, that was 'Wild Flower'.
And there were no goals because, you know, the word 'goals' was for the team.
Uh, you know, the message, the slogan, or the data is for the team.
And for me, my goals were—I think, you know—just to make an album.
Make a beautiful album and then release it someday.
I think that was my only goal.
You bring up 'Wild Flower'.
What is a wild flower to you?
Actually, the title was supposed to be 'Flower Works', but I changed it because it doesn't make any sense.
