Cam Blake’s Bad Vacation Transformed into his Debut Album

Posted on by
Reply

Twenty year-old, Cam Blake, from Maple Ridge, released his debut album, Bad Vacation, in January. I had the chance to Zoom with Blake and catch up with as we attended high school together back in the day.

Blake grew up in a musical family. At eight, he started writing and playing music. He didn’t find a passion for it until he was sixteen, when he started rapping and making beats with his Dad’s equipment. He taught himself how to produce and use Logic, which is a professional recoding software. He first put out a rap album when he was seventeen which he released to Soundcloud, followed by two EPs. He didn’t become serious about music until creating Bad Vacation, taking just over a year to complete.

For high school, he went to Samuel Robertson Technical, in Maple Ridge where he joined a program called “School of Rock”. That is where he formed his first band, Strange Ways, which also helped solidify his love of playing on stage and performing. Blake says, “It’s my favourite thing to do so it’s been lame to not play shows right now.” Blake has been playing with three of the same guys, Jack, Reece and Zach, since his School of Rock days. The three of them are also in another band called Bookclub.

His musical influences go back to classics like Pink Floyd, Jimmy Hendrix and Rush as well as new music, as he points to the wall behind him of a poster saying, “my boy Mac Miller.” For his dream collaboration, “this is pretty out there and probably never going to happen but to be able to work with Thundercat would be super cool. He’s an absolute monster.” His music incorporates modern indie and psychedelic rock and molds them together to “make it sound good.”

Before the lock down, he was playing shows almost every weekend and some were in some pretty sketchy dive bars “with lots of heart.” They have also played at the Biltmore Cabaret and the Imperial. “It was ramping up and getting to be a good year and now I’m just in my room,” Blake says daydreaming about when he gets to perform again. His dream venue to play at when the world open back up is the Vogue. The venue is all ages and he remembers in high school, going with his friends to watch shows once month. He’s always told himself, “one day we are going to get there.”

Making an album during COVID, Blake says it was both a good and bad situation, “I had a lot of time to work on music and record but I also didn’t have a lot of inspiration because I was sitting in my basement everyday.”

With over 30 thousand streams, Blake describes the album as a recap to his year and it feeling strange to be out in the world. “Each one of the songs are a month of the year. It feels like the album is the year I just put out as sound,” Blake says.

For Blake’s recording process, he recorded all of the demos and guitar himself, then used MIDI drums on top of the tracks. His band member, Jack, did the rest of the drums for ten of the twelve tracks on the record.

He liked the fact that the title Bad Vacation is “simple” and he thinks people may “assume it has something to do with the lockdowns because it was a bad vacation but the name is also to do with the theme and the story the songs are telling.” There is only one song to do with being in lockdown, I Can’t Make Any Sense of It All, featuring Molly Annelle, which is basically about being isolated.

The way he normally writes music is by coming up with different phrases or words that he can build off of and puts them in his phone to eventually use. When he sits down to write, he usually has a melody or progression in his head which he builds from the ground up. Sometimes he starts with just a guitar track or he uses bass, drums and guitar. Blake says he can only write one solid song every month. There are folders on folders of loops and lyrics saved on his computer which are what he considers to be “throw aways.”

As soon as he finished each song, he knew right away if it would make it to the record or not. The first track he completed for the the album was track 8, Something Sweet.

His music video for Self Worth is coming out today. Leading up to the video, in November, he released three parody “sitcom” episodes with his bandmates Max and Drew. The decided to put the record out before the anticipated video. Blake still hasn’t seen the video himself yet, “I’m going to see it when everyone else sees it. I’m super stoked.”

The video was shot by Raunie Mae who has filmed and edited two of his previous music videos, as well as Vancouver TikTok legend, Max Boonch. Raunie was also the one who helped pick the Bad Vacation album cover. “She is kind of my art director and is the one with ‘the eye’ for really good stuff,” he continues, “she points things out and I’d be like ‘ya thats dope,’” he laughs.

Astoria Tracks is a record label that Blake and his bandmates own. He describes it as a “collective.” They don’t have artists sign papers, it’s mainly figuring out distribution for them. The artists still own all the rights to their music and Astoria Tracks takes no money from them either. He says, “we are all just friends and like to make music together. It’s a good time.”

For his next record, Blake has already finished most of the demos. Since June, he has been writing for it. He says he’s expanding on Bad Vacation and it’s “a little out there.”

The Zolas Summer Full of Z DAY

Vancouver’s, The Zolas, are a five member indie band featuring Zachary Gray, Tom Dobrzanski, Cody Hiles, Dwight Abell and Tom Heuckendorff.

Zachary and Tom were in a band together before The Zolas from 2003 until 2008 called Lotus Child.

The Zolas first album dropped in 2009 and have released three more albums since. The band name came from an 1800’s French writer, Émile Zola, who wrote about low class people such as hookers and beggars.

The band has been influenced by Vancouver itself as well as the local music around the city. They have been friends with many other local bands from Vancouver before any of them have had success.

Gray says, “Honestly every album I’ve ever written is about nostalgia and the apocalypse and this one’s no different”

Their third album Swooner was their break through record and was also their first Juno nomination.

For their most recent album, the band dropped one single at the Z day (the 2nd, if you were confused like I was) of every month until the end of the Summer in 2020. They called it “Z DAYS.”

COVID-19 got in the way of the original release of the album. The first single was Engery Czar and Zachary explains that it’s about “how with climate change the planet is starting to remind us that we’re not in charge here and never were. The song was written and produced by The Zolas and James Younger in the 604 record’s studio. The other singles featured in Z DAYS were Come Back to Life, Ultramarine, Feel the Transition Wreck Beach/ Totem Park.

Gray talked about Come Back to Life saying, “It’s nice to have a Kanye moment where you look at your output and go ‘This is the greatest s*** that’s coming out this year.’ As cute Canadians we tend to shy away from feeling ourselves like that but it’s the truth.” Safe to say, The Zolas are proud of the track.

They had one song in particular that drew my attention back in September, which was Wreck Beach/ Totem Park which sounds self explanatory. It is also about a truth to the way they grew up and it dives into living right next to the Musqueam reserve. Gray told VIA, he was never “taught or thinking to ask why they live quietly in a small corner of a land that used to be all theirs.”

Gray continued,” The clear unfairness of it all really pulled back the curtain on the glossed-over, white-lie version we were given in Grade 10 social studies class.”

Said the Whale’s Attempt to Make it Into the Big Leagues

In 2007, Vancouver band, Said the Whale was formed with original members Tyler and Ben before they picked up, Spencer, Jaycelyn and Nathan along the way. Since this, the band has lost Spencer and Nathan and brought in new members.

I recently watched CBC’s Documentary, Winning America, about Said the Whale going to the South by Southwest (SXSW), music festival in Austin, Texas. This was their first time playing in the US. The doc aired July 23, 2011 in BC and April 7, 2012 across Canada.

The doc starts with Tyler Bancroft struggling with the lock to get car, which added a bit of humour to the beginning.

Tyler has always been passionate about making music. He explains that at 13, everyday he would fax network records with the logo of his band and nothing else. they finally replied to him saying “please stop faxing us this, you’re wasting our paper.” He was always trying to get a record deal. For his day job, he works on tug boats in False Creek

Then, we meet Ben Worcester who grew up in Vancouver, where he says, he feels “connected” to and all of his good memories have been in this city. Spencer knew Ben from high school and before he even auditioned, Ben said he is in. Nathan Shaw met Spencer at a party where they played music and bonded during the night.

Jaycelyn Brown is the only girl in the band. She loves being the only girl because she gets the “most attention”. She’s been playing piano since she was five and couldn’t think of doing anything else with her life other than this.

The band starts going through their schedule and are discussing playing SXSW for the first time. SXSW is a music festival in Austin, Texas. Ben says, “there are so many bands people will be seeing and everyone is being compared to the next band and forgotten immediately after,” he continues, “if we aren’t forgotten immediately after, I think that’s a bonus round.”

Spencer says the one thing he wants out of this festival is “complete and utter fame.” Which every other musician attending wants. He says, there are going to be five best bands from every city in the world all playing in the same city together and “it’s hard to get our hopes up.”

The only way for the band to quit their day jobs is to “break into the United States.” At this point, the band itself isn’t making much money at all. They pay for their own merchandise, their tour van, rehearsal space and basically anything to do with their band.

Four days into their road trip to Austin, they found that their trailer was broken into. All their equipment had been scattered along the road, with the lock being cut and lots of missing gear. From keyboards, to clothes but most importantly Jaycelyn’s custom dress for the Juno’s. Ben told CBC, “it was just ‘things’ and nobody was hurt,” he continues, “we are turning lemons into lemonade with a lot of sugar.”

SXSW Itinerary:

Day 1:

Rest up.

Day 2:

Said the Whale played a show in a record store and Tyler said, “this is an intimidating place to play a show because every greatest recored ever made is within 30 feet of us right now.”

Day 3:

They started their day by playing an XM Radio Session. Then they went out on the streets and had a box of Walkmans with their tapes inside. They got scooped up by people lot quicker than they thought.

Then came “The Mustard Incident.” A lady on the street started squirting mustard all over Spencer. Gross! I hate mustard and the smell is so strong, that must have been disgusting. Spencer started going after the lady and then the police got involved and told him to leave it alone. I can’t believe she did that. Following this, Said the Whale decided to get their first ever band tattoo which was “lemons” because they are turning lemons into lemonade…once again.

Day 4:

They pretty much played all day. They did their first gig and then had to haul all their equipment eight blocks, on foot, for their next show, which they barely made it to.

The band walked through the busy, lit up streets, which seems to be a constant party and Tyler says, “it’s absolutely crazy. It’s like the Olympics of music.” They may have joined the party a little too hard, as they went home and made breakfast as a late night snack which was bit of a disaster.

Day 5: The Last Day

This was a rough day for the band, suffering major hangovers and lost voices as the spent the night drinking and shouting over music. Tyler could barely keep his head of the table at lunch.

After the first show, Tyler was disappointed because he felt he wasn’t able to give it everything he had but Ben had a different feeling about it. He thought it was a laid back show and no one was stressed out so he enjoyed playing the gig.

Their final show of SXSW, Said the Whale played their hearts out and gave it everything they had.

After that, Said the Whale hit the road and headed to Toronto for the Juno Awards where they were up for Best New Group which they won.

Since 2011, Said the Whale released three more albums and has continued touring. Tonight they have a Zoom Livestream starting at 7:30pm.

Dallas Green’s Career Peaked While He Was at His Lowest

The name Dallas Green might not stand out to you but maybe City and Colour or ALEXISONFIRE does.

From Ontario, Dallas Green is a singer/songwriter who records under City and Colour, ALEXISONFIRE and You+Me.

His musical influence from a young age has been Neil Young because he has built himself a career from what he wants to do, on his terms and follows the direction he feels is right.

At 14, he started making music  His goal in his music has always been to “help people to escape.” Green writes his music so he can get through something but also hopes that it is relatable enough for others to potentially feel better. It was never about the fame it was about the feeling he has while performing and creating. 

In 2002, ALEXISONFIRE’s first album came out in Canada and when the music video when to MUCH it blew up. Although, the band did not have an album out in the US, their manager decided to book them a two week two tour through the US over their March break. The band was only seventeen and was not able to miss school. They had almost no one attend and slept in a van. Dallas says now, that some of those bad decisions at the beginning of their careers are his “best stories.” He also continued, “I feel like I have earned where I am. I have played for nobody. I have driven 25 hours straight to play for nobody and had five dollars a day to spend on McDonalds.” He does not deny that’s made him a better person.

In 2011, Green left ALEXISONFIRE to focus on City and Colour. He got the name City and Colour from his own name as Dallas is a city and Green is a colour.

Green told Exclaim, the loneliest time in his life was was back in 2009 when both ALEXISONFIRE and City and Colour were at their peaks. “That year, was one of the hardest years of my life, because I couldn’t really experience any of what was happening. Too much was happening” Which was when he stepped back from ALEXISONFIRE.

The day he made the decision, he was in Boston playing for City and Colour and he “hated it.” After the show, he emailed his management and told them he couldn’t play for both bands anymore. It was so hard for him to tell the band, so he ended up staying for another six more months before he could get it off his chest.

He wanted to spend more time with City and Colour as it got more popular and he started to appreciate the songs differently. Green also noted that he’s proud because his fans tend to buy the whole record and not just a single 

He returned to ALEXISONFIRE in 2015.

Green has always stayed with independent labels so that he can have creative control. This also allows him to know that, “If anything goes wrong, then I know it’s my own fault. It’s very important to me.”

His songs with City and Colour are as if he is always moving. He explained to Nothing But Hope and Passion, that the road is his home so it makes sense in that way but Green has a “sense of longing for stability and you long for a sense of home and at the same time this is my home.”

Green had a hard time writing his most recent album A Pill for Loneliness, which came out in 2019. He  just kept thinking of how messed up the world is. He realized after many sessions of writing by himself, he could do it with friends and it would make things easier. He ended up collaborating with quite a few people and if it wasn’t for them, Green doesn’t think the album would have hit the recording process.

Tegan and Sara Taking a Trip Back Down Memory Lane

Tegan and Sara Quin are Canadian identical twin sisters but are also a music duo. They first signed to PolyGram records in 1998 and this lead them to touring with Neil Young.

Both living in Vancouver, they recently went back and revisited to the music they made in high school. This was a time when both of them were figuring out their sexuality. The pair made a memoir called High School along with a record Hey, I’m Just Like You with 12 tracks. They wrote them in their teenage years but as adults, they re-recorded them.

It wasn’t easy for Sara to go back and listen to these songs. She was concerned that she “would hear something that I would be embarrassed or ashamed by.” Sara told NPR. Tegan was the one who dug up their old archives as Sara didn’t have the best memories from those years. She explains, “Tegan stole all our self-confidence in the womb.”

The memoir started out when the Quin’s created the Tegan and Sara Foundation, which is a charity that campaigns and fundraises for LGBTQ women. And then they made the book proposal which stuck. It goes through their stories as teenagers, dabbling with drugs and finding their sexuality.

Tegan says she likes balance between the music they make now and in their teenage years. “We threw in a lot of different things from the last 20-some years, and hoped that if Tegan and Sara from 1997 could get in a time machine and hear it, that they wouldn’t be embarrassed by how we changed it.”

The two of them are gay and it was a surprise to Tegan that before they came out, which they did at different times and in different ways, “all of the hiding that we were doing in our real lives, we were completely exposed in our music.” The music they were making was obvious that they weren’t writing about hot guys as they were using female pronouns. That changed though on their first six records. They stopped using pronouns and kept their music “less specific.”

The and never really came out to the public, their sexuality was not a big deal. One of their first interviews was with Lesbian News, they were on the cover but they were worried it would hurt their career. Neil Young’s manager told them, “What career? You don’t have a career yet. There’s nothing to hurt.”

They started out with the name Sara and Tegan but their manager told them that the name blends together but there needs to be an enunciation with Tegan and Sara.

With nine albums under their belt, three Junos, two Western Canadian Music Awards and two GLAAD Media Awards, as well as performing with Queen Taylor Swift, I’d say their careers have turned out pretty good.

The Unsolved Mystery Behind Mother Mother’s Tik Tok Explosion

Have you jumped on the TikTok train yet? It wasn’t until the Christmas Holidays, sitting at home, with no home work and no where to go, that I created my TikTock account. I still haven’t created and actual TikTok myself, which I don’t think I will ever do but I also said I’d never use TikTock and here we are, fully submerged down the rabbit hole.

I don’t fully understand how it works, even after a month. One of my classmates, Vanessa, has been trying to teach me the ropes of the app. I usually just end up sending her videos of hot hockey players or something Taylor Swift and she gets mad because it messes with her “for you page.” No idea what she’s talking about.

Although, I’m confused by the app, it has helped local Vancouver band, Mother Mother. The band “blew up,” as the young kids say, on TikTok. Tracks from their 2008 album O My Heart was being used as music on the app. It first gained traction back in August and has been in the background to thousands of videos since. Their top songs on TikTok are Hayloft, Arms Tonite, and Wrecking Ball.

Many TikToks trends are from hashtaged “Challenges” but for Mother Mother, that was not the case. It just happened all of a sudden. The band is still trying to figure out how their music and #mothermother became so popular. The hashtag has over 56 million views.

Lead singer, Ryan Guldemond told CBC, that luck, good timing and “a little pixie dust” was the reason for their recent popularity.

Through the pandemic, the band noticed growth in their fanbase and when they looked to YouTube, people were surprised that Hayloft was not a new song. The band wrote it in high school, twelve years ago. They also found their songs on Spotify playlists with the titles like “tik tok songs that are actually good” with 142,000 followers. 

Guldemond explains to Rolling Stone that social media is more accepting of self expression and the band’s genderless music has “a wider and richer vocabulary for people to use to identify themselves.”

In September, the band was No. 11 of Rolling Stone’s Breakthrough 25 Chart, which monitors the fastest rising artists each month.

Not only has TikTok helped Mother Mother, remember the man riding on his skateboard, drinking cranberry juice and listening to Dreams by Fleetwood Mac? Well the 1977 song topped the charts right after that trend exploded. 

After Mother Mother gained their popularity the band finally made their own TikTok account to interact and talk with fans. Guldemond says, “We’re making the effort to reply, like their comments, and in one way or another tell them that you see them and appreciate them.”

Right now, the band is currently in the midst of recording a new album after taking a very short break between their 2019 Tour and the pandemic. Guldemond calls it a “pandemic album.”

It’s Already Been a Decade, 21 Turns 10

Can you believe it’s been 10 years of Adele’s 21? I remember being 12 years old singing Someone Like You in my room like I had just been through the worst breakup… but I was just a young girl dramatically singing to my cat.

Adele posted to Instagram yesterday saying, “Well I never! Happy 10 years old friend! It’s crazy how little I remember of what it was like and how I felt a decade ago. But Thank You from the bottom of my heart for letting us into your lives and letting me be a soundtrack to some of it x.”

With songs from Rolling in the Deep to Rumour Has It to Set Fire to the Rain the album is outstanding. 21 was first released in Europe and then a month later in North America. This was her first album to top the charts in the US, reaching number 1 on the Billboard 200 chart in March of 2011. At only 22, she was awarded six Grammy Awards for 21, which include Album, Record and Song of the Year. 21 is now the best selling album of the 21st century.

Adele recorded 21 from spring of 2009 until late 2010. She collaborated with songwriters and producers Ryan Tedder, Dan Wilson, Jim Abbiss, Paul Epworth and Rick Rubin. She wrote the album just after splitting from her boyfriend after a year and a half. Which is the explanation for the themes of bitterness, anger and heartbreak through the album.

Adele told The Guardian that whens she found out that Someone Like You had gone to number one, she did the obvious and rewarded herself with a pedicure.

During the release of 21 she found herself fighting with fame. Although, at first it was easy to give into the fame it also frightened her. One day she was annoyed that her laundry was not done when she was used to people doing things for her. When she realized this, she told Tom Lamont, “ I told myself I’d better abseil down. And go and do my fucking laundry.” She also made an interesting point by saying, ” Sometimes I think it’s everyone else that changes, more so than the person who becomes famous.” She has struggled with the fact that a room will go silent when she walks in. She can crack a joke and break the ice but she feels as though she is constantly “performing”.

Adele hasn’t released an album since 2015’s 25 but word on the street is that there is an album in the works. When 25 released, Adele told USA Today, “I’m in that sort of weird limbo state where you’re deciding what is the next chapter of my life? That’s what all my friends and me are going through: We’re having that early-life crisis you have at around 25, looking at 30.”

She also said that she doesn’t think any other album of hers will have the success that 21 had. Adele says, “Every album I ever make will be following 21, because of the impact that album had.”

I mean, I don’t about you, but Adele seems like a pretty cool person. I’m excited to see what is next for her career. I’m sure she will not disappoint.

Now I’m off to go listen to 21 and sing it like I’m 12 years old again.

Noel Gallagher is Re-Recording Lost Oasis Tracks

Oasis fans, are you out there?

Well, I guess half of Oasis fans? Noel Gallagher has confirmed that he will be releasing a new album full of Oasis “lost” tracks. But Liam Gallagher will not be involved because of their backstage dispute in 2009 which caused the bands split. He is in the re-recording process right now of 14 tracks.

Gallagher said on Matt Morgan’s Podcast, “I’ve listed the proper songs and there were 14. They just fell by the wayside of various projects from down the years. I’m going to record them. Some are quite old school.”

He also said that some of the songs he will take a different approach to which is allowing for a lot of creativity in the process.

Gallagher says, “the gift I’ve been given is remembering it all. If I play a song once and it connects, it’s in there forever. That’s the gift, not the songwriting. If they’re good enough, they’ll come back.”

The news was quick to be the top trend on Twitter, but many did not agree with new Oasis music without both brothers. Fans saying, “That’s not Oasis, that’s just Noel Gallagher.”

As for the rest of the band, it is still unclear if they will be apart of this project.

Liam Gallagher went out on his own in 2017 releasing his solo debut album, As You Were, which was a success. Gallagher has a reckless reputation in the industry and was not spoken very highly of after being banded from Cathyay Pacific Airlines, being charged with assault for head butting a teenage fan among many other not so great things you would not want your grandma to know about you.

On New Year’s, Liam did Tweet an olive branch to Noel saying, “HNY Noel love you long time 2021 is our year c’mon you know LG x.”

To me it doesn’t seem right to have new music under “Oasis” with no Liam.

The Lumineers, Jeremiah Fraites Releases His Solo Album

You know that song that was sick in your head back in 2012. It went a little like, “ho, hey….ho hey…ho…hey.” and then it went, “I don’t know where I belong / I don’t know where I went wrong/ But I can wrote a song.” Ya, that was a good one from The Lumineers.

Over the years they have been releasing more music but since the pandemic, Jeremiah Fraites, the co founder, drummer and songwriter, has ventured out on his own. The Lumineers tour was cancelled in 2020 due to COVID-19, which allowed for a great opportunity. His debut solo album, Piano Piano, is out tomorrow with a collection of instrumental music which includes strings, permission and guitar.

While being at home in Denver quarantining, Fraites recorded his album but it wasn’t that easy. There was a lot of noise going on at his house during that time. He has a 2-year-old, a dog and a construction project happening around him. He told Colorado Matters, “When my son would take his nap, I’d have anywhere from an hour to two hours to record these takes. it added a lot of pressure.” In an interview with NPR, he says, “I don’t know if I’d ever want to work that way again.” Which definitely makes sense.  

Through the past decade of working with, The Lumineers, Fraites did a lot of writing but some of it did not always work with the band. He kept it all in a drop box and used some of it for this album. In high school, he never actually wanted to be in a band with a singer, “really complicated instrumental music is what spoke to me,” Fraites told 5280, “words and lyrics went in one ear, out the other.” That was until he met Wesley Schultz, the other co-founder of The Lumineers and the lead singer.

The song Maggie is about his wife’s dog dying. Fraites says this song gave him the most trouble. With the album being all instrumental, he had to figure out how to “say something without actually saying anything.” 

He wanted the album to “flirt with the idea of it being really intimate and then also, at times, it feels very world class-high production.” That was the most difficult part of making this album for Fraites.

And as for The Lumineers, they are “conjuring some new ideas.”

Billie Eilish and Rosalia’s Collaboration “Lo Vas Olvidar” is Out Tomorrow

Lo Vas Olvidar is Billie Eilish and Rosalia’s collaboration which is out Thursday morning at 9am PT. The song is for HBO’s Euphoria.

The track has been in the making for a year now. In April, Rosalia teased a collab between the two when she told Zane Lowe, “During these last two weeks, I have been trying to finish the Billie collab. I think its getting quite close.”

Premiering in June 2019, Eurphia, follows the life of a group of high school students who experience sex, drugs, alcohol, love and friendships. Zendaya is the lead role with Maude Apatow, Angus Cloud, Eric Dane, Alexa Demie and many more.

Billie took to Instagram announcing the song, “You guys have been waiting for this.” In the teaser, there are only some sounds you hear behind what is said to be the music video preview for the song.

Eilish said last year in an interview with BBC Radio 1 that she reached “some notes I have never even thought about” whole recoding this song.

Fans did not keep clam about this news as it was trending on Twitter within 30 minutes.

Billie’s latest song, Therefore I am, came out in early November of last year. It was a dark track along with a music video which was very suiting for pandemic times. Billie is running around an abandoned Glendale Galleria mall, hitting all her favourite places while grabbing pretzels and doughnuts along the way. The song is a message that she doesn’t care what people think about her or her body, This is why fans think she was eating through the whole video as she was body shammed last year. She’s not giving into the negativity.

Eilish also posted to her Instagram story in December, jokingly telling fans she won’t release a new album if her fans keep making fun of her hair. She then said she will be changing her hair after the release of her new documentary, Billie Eilish: The World’s A Little Blurry, which premieres in February on Apple TV+. The doc is directed by RJ Cutler and it goes through the life of the 19 year olds fame and of course her 2020 Grammy sweep.
