 We're live on the JME soundstage at WJCT public media here in Jacksonville, Florida And we've got Bobby kid here. Hey y'all. Hey, how's it going? Bobby kid's got a new song out It's called ten minutes late and a new album out this month in April They're gonna do a couple songs for us first. You guys ready to do one. Yeah, absolutely. Take it away That was Bobby kid with the song seeds now the new album drops April 7th, it's called baby face This is the first full-length since 2018's peach and I know there's been a handful of singles in between now and then But as you started putting together the pieces of this album, when did you know you had? Songs that would be okay. We've got an album here. These are the songs that are gonna go on this new record Yeah, it's kind of completely on accident just being like super DIY. It's kind of a More of a process of like, okay when we can record these songs will record them They've been written for like mostly for four years. Some of them are a little bit newer But we've been playing them for a really long time And we recorded a couple of them pretty early on and the idea was to Record a full-length album at some point because we knew we had enough songs And it just kind of with life with the pandemic with all of us working full-time Just kind of kept getting pushed back and then in 20 Was maybe 2020 or 2021 was when we were at friends of friends and it was in Springfield at the time with Brock Mendez Monday, yeah, and that's our buddy and he was able to record most of the songs for us there and Now two two years later. They're actually ready to go out. So it's been a very long process But they've been they've been finished for a long time. So I'm just super happy to have them out Yeah, we can't wait for the album to see the light of the light of day But so as you were talking about this sort of long process of writing these songs over Several years. I wondered about how you feel like you've grown as a songwriter between the last album and maybe even the course of writing This album. Are you approaching songwriting differently? How does the band come into that? What's the process like now? Yeah, it's it's pretty similar I Usually just write a song and then like on an acoustic guitar and then I'll bring it to them and we'll all kind of put it together They're really great at just hearing something and knowing exactly where to come in and Like turn the songs into what they what you guys will hear on the album It's definitely it's interesting writing songs and then releasing them four years later because I do feel like my songwriting has changed a lot and My perspective has changed a lot, but I have to kind of you know remind myself of the perspective I had when I wrote when I wrote the songs and still appreciate them for the you know Where I was at when I wrote the songs and but my songwriting process is still pretty pretty similar I write it. I bring it to them and we turn it into a like a full band Yeah Well Bobby kids new record baby face is available on all streaming platforms beginning April 7th You can hear songs from the new record on the independent 89 9 HT for Streaming here in Jacksonville, Florida and on jacks music org.
