And now here they are, Nick and Sue on Chatterbox.
When the stars talk, they talk to Nick and Sue.
Welcome back to the Chatterbox Redux Podcast.
Today our guest is Savannah Jade. This is Nick
and Sue with Chatterbox giving you all you need
to know about musical entertainment. Oh yeah!
Chatterbox! And now on Chatterbox UK, we're just
lucky enough to welcome back Savannah Jade. Savannah,
welcome. How are you? Hello, Savannah. Hi, I'm
good. How are you doing, guys? We're good, thank
you. All good down here on the south coast of
England. You're Canada, aren't you? Montreal,
minus 22 Celsius. That was my next question.
What is the temperature? England gets cold, but
I know that you're at that time of year. It's
cold still. Minus 22. Wow. OK. Anyway, so we
spoke last year, we met last year, and we got
to play I Don't Have Exes, which we absolutely
loved. It was a very clever song anyway, just
the lyrics, everything was good about it. It
was a great song to introduce our audiences to
and our member stations too, it was very good.
But we're back again because... uh i think uh
was it back in december 12th you sang on stage
a song called man out of me that was the world
premiere of it i guess However, we've now got
it released as a single. Man out to me. So tell
us about that, how it come about, what the lyrics
are about. Just tell them all about it. Yeah.
So this song actually is the first song I've
ever written for my solo project back in 2024.
But yeah, someone in my life told me once that
I could never write a great song. And I was like,
you know what? I'm going to Nashville booking
a trip and I'm just gonna do songwriting for
the whole trip, focus on that only. So I went
to Nashville with my fiancé for a whole month
and we had a blast by the way, it was so much
fun. But yeah, it was a Monday, the first songwriting
session I had and in the room there was Dwayne
Thompson and Lauren Vale. And I went to that
room with my tail between my legs. So nervous.
I had the imposter syndrome there and self -doubts
like all over the place. But yeah, they made
me feel so welcome and like I deserve to be there
and that my place was there because English is
my second language, right? So yeah. Yeah. So
I can speak like fluently maybe. but not like
perfectly in English. So yes of course when I
do co -writings I love that because I can throw
my ideas out there and we all put them into words
together and this is how we make songs. Yeah,
so it's it's the story of a woman who just went
through a breakup and she's tired of crying in
her bed basically and eating ice cream and she
scrolls to her iPhone and she sees her ex having
a blast and just partying and smoking cigarettes
and she wants to be that version of herself who's
empowered and stronger and having fun and stuff.
So that's why it's it's called manotomy. Also,
it relates I relate a lot with that song because
I was pretty much feeling the same thing as the
woman in that song where I put all myself doubts
aside and that's when I proved myself I could
do it and I just Got a passion for some writing
since then and I've written much more song with
these guys. Love them so much But yeah, that's
how the song was born Yeah, I mean that's good.
You'll have to tell me the story again if it's
alright. There was quite a nice story of how
you met your fiancé, wasn't it? At a very early
gig or something and he's been with you ever
since and doesn't he help do the videos and stuff?
Do you mind telling us a little bit about him
and how you met again? I remember it was a lovely
story anyway but if you don't mind it'd be great.
Thank you. We met at... his place through it
was a party with mutual friends basically seven
years ago now it's been a while um but yeah he
really works in the technology more for surveyors
and in construction and stuff so we're really
not in the same bad at all but he loves to play
in my music videos and he loves music he was
selling beers in summer festivals like all his
university time so yeah he just enjoys music
and he's always there by my side so basically
I'm a lucky girl that's really good so at least
we say that this song it doesn't sound like it's
a personal experience man out of me so that's
that's good in a way i'm glad that because i
remember it was a really nice story of how you
met and stuff so that that's good yeah how's
the reception so far um as far as stations picking
it up and playing it and uh what sort of reaction
are you getting back from people that have heard
it so far um It's funny because in my team there's
a lot of people that it's their favorite song
of all the songs I've written. It's my favorite
one too because it means a lot to me again. But
I think it's going well. We did something different
with this one for socials because we usually
do a whole music video. For this one, we decided
to do like a bunch of reels, different reels
with different vibes and stuff. And it seems
to go well. I think people like it from what
I hear from my friends and my family. But yeah,
I'm just excited to see what it does and if people
like it and I hope so. Yeah, sure. So is there
going to be a video, official video going up
on your YouTube channel at some point for it?
Not for the moment. If people really like it
and it blows maybe, who knows. But yeah, we'll
see. Yes, I remember, I don't have access to
the video didn't go up to the weeks after we
chatted. I think the interview had gone out actually
before. I mean you announced the date when it
was going to come up I know but yeah it was a
little while after so if that works and that's
what works it's fine you know give them a taster
because at the end of the day we do want them
to download it don't we we don't want them just
to watch your video a few times because the amount
of streams you need to even get a penny or a
cent or whatever it's a lot isn't it so let's
get them to download it that's what we want no
it's fine give them a taster it's good I like
it Just the cover picture of your song. You're
sat on, I don't know what you're doing, but you've
got the Sexiest Man Alive t -shirt on. I love
that pose. Thanks! How did that come about? I
made that shirt. I think it was from something
on Pinterest I saw. It was a woman wearing...
that kind of shirt so I was like I want to make
that it felt so well for my song and it's just
like a funny thing so I did that and then since
I'm talking about the scrolling stuff I had my
cell phone and my ice cream was it planned that
way or did it just happen with the glasses and
everything did you think that was how it's going
to be or did it just happen on the day It just
happened on the day, basically. And it's funny
because I brought one of my friends who's an
emerging photographer. So she was not supposed
to be there, but last minute she came and that's
her picture. And I was like, I love this. I'm
going to take this for the single art for sure.
One thing we didn't talk about last time when
we first met, we didn't talk about festivals.
So let's talk about festivals and what festivals
you're hoping to do. this year coming. So what
sort of festivals did you go? Where did you go?
Did you do U .S. as well? Last year, we did the
Lasso Festival, which is a big one in Montreal.
And it was really fun because it's in my city
where I live. So all my friends were there, my
parents, my brother, my cousins and stuff. So
we had a blast. It was really fun. But also we
did the BBG Festival. And so many last year,
actually, it was a really, really busy and fun
season. But this year, we have a couple announced.
They're not all announced yet, but I'm going
to Milton Hearts, which is amazing. I can't wait.
This one's a big one in Canada, too. So this
is going to be really fun. But I wish to come
into the UK. That's on my dream list again. And
that would be amazing if I could. do the C2C
festival, oh my gosh. But yeah, we'll see. I
guess there is some more coming along the way
and I can wait. We're happy, listen, we'd be
happy to get you on Chatterbox and we could get
it to tie just right just before the tour starts.
So literally you might have 14 or 18 or however
many cities you go into dates and we tie it just
so it's a few days before but it's the Chatterbox
before, we guarantee you that. So just make sure
the, assuming you're going to carry on using
the same press office of the UK, it works for
us, but if not... find us but we're guaranteed
that spot so sort it out and we give you that
and it goes to most, the show goes to most of
the big cities in the UK. Is there any venue
in the UK you'd love to sing at? I don't really
know venues. I'm not familiar, but I know some
festivals. But again, the C2C one is so big,
so everybody knows it. But yeah, it just wants
to discover many cities and stuff. And I would
love to take another week just to visit with
my fiancé and take some vacation there because
I have been to the UK once, loved it. But I wish
I could stay a little longer because I didn't
have time to visit much. So, yeah, that would
be really, really fun. But the UK is the biggest,
smallest island in the world because what that
means is there's so many cities crammed in a
small space. Because to us, the top of Scotland,
700 or 800 miles, that's a long, long way. But
in Canadian or American terms, it's just along
the road, isn't it? But then you've got to think
of all the big cities we've got and all the cities
with over a million people and things like that.
And you start working out, you put England, Scotland,
Wales on the main bit. and you start thinking
is it really 78 million you think how does that
many people fit on that island so it is like
as i say the biggest smallest island in the world
you know because it is you're thinking that there's
a lot to see yeah a lot of history there but
you know yeah history and you guys have so many
talented artists that come from the uk so yeah
it's i would love to come It takes two to tangle
and two to present a radio show So here's Nick
and Sue Your musical duo this is nick and sue
with chatterbox giving you all you need to know
about musical entertainment anybody dead or alive
famous who would you like to sing with? young
blood okay we've never had that answer before
I'm a big fan of rock music too and I think he's
just doing so great. His voice is incredible
and he's so present for his fans. I think he's
a sweet guy and yeah, that would be incredible
on my dream list too. It's incredible you should
say that because one of the guests on the chatterbox
that's going out today as we're talking, the
one that's going around the stations this week,
there's a brother and sister called Amolotovs
on there And they've just got the support for
Youngblood in May over here. They're supporting
them. You think, wow, how great is that? Or is
it now? They've just got the support for it anyway,
for Youngblood. How credible is that? Just like
you mentioned it. So yeah, incredible. So when
you do come here, you're going to find It's going
to be better too. Do you want to come and just
tour yourself to start with? Do you headliner
yourself as Savannah Jade or are you wanting
to perhaps support somebody first time? What's
ideal for you the first time do you think? I
think I would love to be a support act before
and yeah just I think this is the best way to
meet new fans and to even in festivals like you
have the big headliners and then when you play
earlier in the day there's many people that discover
you. And it's the best way, I think, to get organic
fans, I would say. Yeah. Well, she had other
things to ask Savannah, didn't she? What's next
for Savannah? So many things. I'm going to record
four more songs in March, which I'm really excited
about. They're really fun songs, not about heartbreak
anymore. Even if I'm in a super healthy relationship
since seven years, I love to write heartbreak
songs for some reason. But yeah, this is coming
and then I'm just taking some vacation in February.
And the summer show is looking forward to. to
have summer shows, yeah. We look forward to hearing
your next songs. And I'm sure I've asked this
before, I'm going to ask it again. Well, first
of all, let's do the four new songs. Are they
likely to be an EP or are they just going to
be singles coming out at different points during
the years, do you think? For now, it's going
to be single by single and we'll see how it goes,
yeah, but I think I'm sitting on like 20 more
songs that I have demos on. But I just want to
choose like the song that really fits who I am
basically and pitch maybe some songs to other
artists that I think would sing them. And yeah,
that would be amazing. But I write, write, write,
write, write so much because I really love it
now. You're good at it. So there you go. I don't
know if I'm good at it, but I'm enjoying it.
So that's good. Well, listen, what comes out?
The finished product of what we hear and what
we play to our audiences is good. And we don't
just put a song on to hit or miss, for instance,
so it's no good. We don't put it on because you've
been on already. We put it on because the song's
worthy of being on there. See, there's 10 songs
every week. which the audience vote on. Even
if the song comes 10th, the way to look at it,
someone has to come 10th. But every song is a
winner. They're all amazingly strong songs. It's
just unfortunate someone has to come last. But
it's no insult to you because we've selected
that as one of the top 10 songs that week out
of the thousands that have been released. That's
the way to look at it really. And I don't hear
the songs till that night when we do hear them.
No one ever hears them before the show. Her reaction
is a genuine reaction. Yeah, that's amazing.
You know, when you put a song out, it's like
a baby, right? Like, I love them so much, but
I just wish people liked them too. So, yeah,
you never know how it's going to be for other
people. But that's amazing. Thank you so much.
Getting to know, getting working relationships
with presenters and DJs like ourselves and building
up, you know, with each release. That's a good
thing. Yeah, I think you're getting to know a
lot of presenters and DJs now, so yeah. Excuse
me for a sec, I'm just going to shout. Twinkle!
Sorry. The cat. It's a cat? Yeah, she's clawing
the furniture. Oh, so cute! It's Savannah. There
you go. Hi. Sorry, she never claws the furniture.
Savannah, I've just thought of something, a lovely
image in my head. You know you like Youngblood?
You could write a song for Youngblood and they
sing it. Wow, that'd be incredible. Wouldn't
it be amazing? Yeah, he has such an insane voice,
it's so beautiful. I reckon you could do it.
I'd love to, I'll try it. I'll be doing my job,
and I'm impatient, and I want to know. So, the
listeners, I want to know, when are we likely
to hear your next song, your next single after
this? Is it going to be March time or is that
literally when they're being recorded? It could
be April or May. We didn't choose yet the date,
so I don't know. Plus, we don't know which one
is going to be the next single. I have an idea
of it, but we're not sure it's going to be this
one. But no, I don't have a date yet. You have
to be patient, babe. Yeah. Yeah, well, I'll try.
Week in, week out. I try and be patient, but
you know, I'm slowly learning. I remember. Could
be August, I don't know. I don't think she'll
be that long. We've got two screens here. We're
talking to you on one screen and on the other
screen is your pose from your cover. I just love
it. It's a fun one. Thanks. It's beautiful. It's
brilliant. Yeah, well, I'm hoping about my soul
soon after because I think it'd be lovely to
have a chat. Even if your festivals are over
your side of the pond, I think it'd still be
lovely to have a chat about it just to keep the
interest going over here and we could whet their
appetites a bit more about you coming over here.
We don't know the dates, you know, I think it
could be nice. So I think we'd love to have you
keep just keep the interest going across the
stations. I think that'd be quite nice. Yeah,
that'd be so fun. That'd be good. But let's do
your social media. Let's do that. So, okay, we
have got savanajademusic .com savanajademusic
.com and lovely website as well. Some lovely
pictures. got your tours are going to as they
get added are obviously going to be on there
whole load of videos and music all about you
there's news and the magical thing is when we
talk about social media is by saying savannahjademusic
.com we can cover all the other social media
by the looks of it because we've got instagram
if we just scroll to the bottom of the home page
we've got instagram facebook tiktok your youtube
channel spotify apple we've got all that there
Yeah, everything's there. Is there any other
social media you want to mention to them? I think
I'm more active on Instagram, maybe, so Savannah
J Music too, and TikTok, just to make some silly
videos. No problems. Anyway, Savannah, yeah,
just that. Savannah, we wish you all the best
with your singing career. You're an amazing singer.
With the career? And Man Out Of Me is already...
available. Do download that, you're going to
love it. It's a very, very lively country style
song. It is just lively, it's wonderful. I tell
you something, people like, I could envisage
somebody like Dolly Parton in her day singing
it and making one of the most successful songs
of her career. It's that lively and wonderful,
because in the UK, countries not... really that
strong, but your songs seem to be lively and
work. It's the sort of thing that can work in
the UK. And when they hear this song, they're
not going to think, I'm going to another country
song. It's wonderful. So lively, Savannah. It's
like you have a star about you. So I think that's
why we tagged onto you a bit and we like you,
you know. And I think something can work in the
UK. Yeah, definitely. Thank you so much. I'm
glad to be here. You've got other interviews
today or are we the last one? last one i'm gonna
take my glass of wine and go enjoy and we promise
next time we do an interview and we'll make sure
