  • He sent me a little voice memo
  • 00:19:02.788 --> 00:19:04.790
  • On--you remember doing that?

  • And you just kind of had this little idea.
  • 00:19:08.860 --> 00:19:12.197
  • Just--you sang, like, the first two lines of the chorus.
  • 00:19:12.197 --> 00:19:15.667
  • And you were like, i wonder if we could
  • 00:19:15.667 --> 00:19:16.768
  • Do something like that.
  • 00:19:16.768 --> 00:19:17.803

  • And of course, i'm a huge prince fan.
  • 00:19:20.505 --> 00:19:22.908
  • So we got in the studio, and-- and so i took his little idea
  • 00:19:22.908 --> 00:19:27.045
  • And tried to make it what i was hearing in my head.
  • 00:19:27.045 --> 00:19:30.882

  • The way i typically like to celebrate christmas
  • 00:38:31.222 --> 00:38:33.591
  • Is with a big family gathering.
  • 00:38:33.591 --> 00:38:36.694
  • So i'm the youngest of seven children,
  • 00:38:36.694 --> 00:38:39.363
  • And so i'm used to having a lot of people around.
  • 00:38:39.363 --> 00:38:43.367
  • And matter of fact, growing up as a kid,
  • 00:38:43.367 --> 00:38:47.037
  • Me and all of my siblings and my mom, dad,
  • 00:38:47.037 --> 00:38:50.674
  • And all my uncles and aunts, my cousins,
  • 00:38:50.674 --> 00:38:54.011
  • We would all gather at my grandmother's house,
  • 00:38:54.011 --> 00:38:55.846
  • And we would have christmas there.
  • 00:38:55.846 --> 00:38:57.915
  • So i'm used to, like--
  • 00:38:57.915 --> 00:38:59.250
  • I'm used to being inside of a home
  • 00:38:59.250 --> 00:39:00.818
  • Filled with, like, 60 people, and i'm talking, like,
  • 00:39:00.818 --> 00:39:03.554
  • A two-bedroom, four-bedroom at most, house,
  • 00:39:03.554 --> 00:39:07.057
  • Just crammed with folks.
  • 00:39:07.057 --> 00:39:09.627
  • But that's what i'm used to, and--and i love it.
  • 00:39:09.627 --> 00:39:14.532
  • It's one of the things that i look forward to the most.
  • 00:39:14.532 --> 00:39:18.335
  • You know, getting ready to see, you know, family

  • And people that you love that you haven't seen
  • 00:39:21.172 --> 00:39:22.740
  • In a really long time is--
  • 00:39:22.740 --> 00:39:24.442
