I can't really talk now because we are going live to air. Ladies and
gentlemen, it's another trick to be here live. Look at your watches,
it's ten o'clock, it's the same for us. Fully prepared and ready to go.
Let's begin with James!
# Awake
# This song has found you
# Asleep at the wheel of your car
# You're boring, bored, unengaged
# Life comes to rattle your cage
# You can do better than that
# Hit me again and give it some impact
# You can do better than that
# Hit me again and show me where I crack
# This naked ape
# Is so out of shape
# Sedated by hi-tech
# Wants fame on a plate
# Though water flows round rocks
# Its path don't deviate
# You can do better than that
# Hit me again and give it some impact
# You can do better than that
# Hit me again and show me where I'm cracked
# You can do better than that
# You're coming out of your way
# Live like today's your last day
# You can do better than that
# Hit me again and give it some impact
# You can do better than that
# Hit me again and show me where I crack
# You can do better than that.#
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Good to have James back in the studio, from
Living In Extraordinary Times, their new album. Over here, we welcome the
marvellous champion of new music, Clara Amfo! Come and join me. Who
have you come to see? I am quite partial to Christine and the Queens
and Daniel Caesar and HER, who I love.
love. Beautiful vibrations. Any quick tip for any one person we
should listen to? Someone I have listened to. Clara will join us
later. And now we welcome from Texas, back into this room, so we
are thrilled to have her back, St Vincent!
# I sway in place to a slow disco
# And a glass for the saints and a bow for the road
# Am I thinking what everybody's thinkin'?
# I'm so glad I came, but I can't wait to leave
# Slip my hand from your hand
# Leave you dancin' with a ghost
# Slip my hand from your hand
# Leave you dancin' with a ghost
# There's blood in my ears and a fool in the mirror
# And the bay of mistakes couldn't get any clearer
# Am I thinking what everybody's thinkin'?
# I'm so glad I came, but I can't wait to leave
# Slip my hand from your hand
# Leave you dancin' with a ghost
# Slip my hand from your hand
# Leave you dancin' with a ghost
# Don't it beat a slow dance to death?
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.

The next guest we are going to meet not only plays on her records but
also plays with Kendrick Lamar, but he is now here in his own right. It
is Kamasi Washington!
# I use hands
# To help my fellow man
# I use hands
# To do just what I can
# And when I face with unjust injury
# Then I change my hand
# To fist of fury
# Our time as victims is over
# We will no longer ask for justice
# Instead we will take our retribution
# Our time as victims is over
# We will no longer ask for justice
# Instead we will take our retribution
# I use hands
# To help my fellow man
# I use hands
# To do just what I can
# And when I face with unjust injury
# I've fought the strong
# I did right for wrong
# When I changed my hands
# To fist of fury.#
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Kamasi Washington, with fist of Fury. And
now, performing from the new debut album, Minus, we welcome Daniel
Blumberg.
# When I get unraveled by the bomb
# And I run and everyone runs
# And I'm dumb and everyone's dumb
# I long to live without it
# When I get unravelled by the bomb
# And I run and everyone runs
# And she's gone, left everything off
# I long to live without it
# Wherever I land
# I can't escape from the bang
# The back of her hand
# I can't escape from the bang
# I can't escape
# From the bang. #
APPLAUSE
Marvellous, Daniel Blumberg. And now, I am so pleased to have back in
this studio one of the greatest artists Frantz has ever produced.
Please welcome Christine and the Queens. -- France.
Hey, what's your name. Yeah, I've seen you around here before. Where
are you from?
# Chris
# I'm gone in a flick
# But back in a second
# With salted skin, rash for no reason
# Boys are loading their arms, girls gasp with envy
# F-f-for whom are they mimicking endlessly?
# Same old sadness in small lumps on my jaw
# For lusting after is the usual freak show
# May your girl come, birdie die under this spur
# F-f-f-fingers angrily sunk on the jugular, then
# Girlfriend
# Don't feel like a girlfriend
# But lover
# Damn, I'd be your lover
# Girlfriend
# Don't feel like a girlfriend
# But lover
# Damn, I'd be your lover
# Touche, touche, yeah
# Yes, sir, I am wet For I abandoned my fame in the lake
# Let's see now how fast you're breathing
# And how long this will all take
# Those who used to pass by me Think they are baffling a liar
# is you?
You don't even taste much better
# Came back steaming in sweats in the morning
# I muscled in for I wanted to hold him
# Then shrivelled to let those bird-dogs rage through
# is me?
# Girlfriend
# Don't feel like a girlfriend
# But lover
# Damn, I'd be your lover
# Girlfriend
# Don't feel like a girlfriend
# But lover
# Damn, I'd be your lover
# Chris, I don't know why you trippin'
# Touche, touche, touche, touche
# You got to keep on rollin', girl
# Keep rollin', rollin'
# Touche, touche, touche, touche
# Yeah. #
APPLAUSE

# You know that I see it
# I know you're a star
# Where you go, I'll follow
# No matter how far

Delicious, Daniel Caesar, featuring H:E.R. Thanks all of my guests, we
are live and I am afraid I have four seconds to welcome back at the end
of the show, James!
# I sing myself to sleep
# A song
# From the darkest hour
# Secrets I can't keep
# Inside of the day
# I swing from high to deep
# Extremes
# Of sweet and sour
# Hope that God exists
# I hope, I pray
# Drawn by the undertow
# My life is out of control
# I believe this wave will bear my weight
# So let it flow
# Oh, sit down
# Sit down next to me
# Sit down, down, down, down, down
# In sympathy
# Now I'm relieved to hear
# That you've been to some far out places
# It's hard to carry on
# When you feel all alone
# Now I've swung back down again
# It's worse than it was before
# If I hadn't seen such riches
# I could live with being poor
# Oh, sit down
# Sit down next to me
# Sit down, down, down, down, down
# In sympathy
# Those who feel the breath of sadness
# Sit down next to me
# Those who find they're touched by madness
# Sit down next to me
# Those who find themselves ridiculous
# Sit down next to me
# In love, in fear, in hate, in tears
# In love, in fear, in hate in hate, in tears
# Do-o-own in hate, in tears
# Do-o-own
# Oh, sit down Oh, sit down
# Oh, sit down
# Sit down next to me
# Sit down, down, down, down, down
# In sympathy
# Down. #
