Speaker 2: 0:04

I feel like for so long I was in this really crazy tunnel vision. Like delulu is not the word, and I honestly miss that. You miss the delusions. Yes. Oh my gosh, it was so peaceful. I used to show anybody who would listen to my song that I made, and even if they were like, mmm, that's nice, I'd be like, yeah, you love it. I know you're obsessed, You're a fan. No, she didn't mean Scorpio. That isn't.

Speaker 1: 0:28

Scorpio-ass shit actually.

Speaker 2: 0:30

What's up? It's Journey, montana. You might have heard my new record, journey. And what's up, nyla?

Speaker 1: 0:35

We need to talk. What's going on, guys? Nyla Simone here with another episode of we Need to Talk, and today I got a very special guest in the building special guest in the building. My girl journey is in here. How are you? I'm good. How are you? I'm good. You look so cute, man, thank you. I'm always giving gorgeous, though on the gram you'd be giving gorgeous and your music videos you'd be giving gorgeous. So it's good to see you're just as gorgeous in real life same.

Speaker 2: 0:56

I can't do the same thing about you. It's always giving well.

Speaker 1: 0:58

Thank you, sis so talk to me. Um, for those who aren't familiar with Journey, I mean I've been tapped in, had you on shows, I've been playing your records on radio just because I'm a fan of you and your sound. But for those who aren't familiar with Journey, who is Journey?

Speaker 2: 1:16

Journey Montana is a singer-songwriter from Harlem, new York, york. Yeah, I used to call myself like the saddest girl in Harlem, but now I think I just am expanding into some more feelings, bigger feelings.

Speaker 1: 1:31

Okay.

Speaker 2: 1:32

And not just being sad all the time. But yeah, I think, yeah. Journey Montana is a singer-songwriter, tells stories, storyteller, r&b artist from Harlem.

Speaker 1: 1:45

First of all, I'm so jealous of this eyeliner. Sorry to be sidetracked, but you ate that shit. It's so hard for me to get this wind down, girl, I was struggling today.

Speaker 2: 1:53

Actually, I'm pretty cool with eyeliner. That was like the first thing I learned how to do was makeup Okay, but I was struggling today, so I really appreciate you.

Speaker 1: 2:02

Yo chef's kiss. I'm like man. She ate that. Thank you. Why were you going with the saddest girl in Harlem? Because I'm just a little emo. Are you a Cancer?

Speaker 2: 2:11

I'm a Scorpio.

Speaker 1: 2:13

Oh, yes, yeah, very, you're not like emotional, like Cancers, because I feel like Cancers are like moody, emotional, but Scorpio are just well, I want to say intense, but maybe passionate.

Speaker 2: 2:26

I would say both yeah, yeah, Intense, passionate like I don't know a lot of like Feelings. Yeah, a lot of feelings, a lot of feelings.

Speaker 1: 2:36

Okay, so what's causing, I guess, the shift from the saddest girl to, you know, new feels.

Speaker 2: 2:42

Well, I'm working on my album right now. Talk about it yeah, it's just about done Executive, produced by Camper. And yeah, I feel like with this project and like with the writing process and everything, it's like I feel like for so long I was like you know the sad thing and like worrying about and writing about what this person was doing and what this person was saying and how this made me feel, based off of other people, and it was like very outward. But I think now I'm kind of just left with myself and how I feel and it's a little bit more internal and I think that makes it more broad, because internally you have so many feelings like you're sad and you're happy, you're excited and you're confused and you know it's just. It's a lot of different emotions when you're just kind of inward. Yeah. So, yeah, I think that's that's really what's what's starting it. I'm kind of just like turning the lens onto myself instead of like onto on other people I actually like that, though I do enjoy the niggas ain't shit records that you have given us.

Speaker 1: 3:44

I definitely have enjoyed that. But it is cool to see, in your new record journey, like you know, you mentioning, like the people in your life who have passed, who are looking over you, and I'm sure they're proud of you. But, um, I do, I like this direction for you, thank you. But how long have you been singing like talk to me about, just like your, your introduction to music? Yeah, I've been singing Like talk to me about, just like your introduction to music.

Speaker 2: 4:05

Yeah, I've been singing really like just about my whole life. It's like a funny story. My mom has, like when I was a baby and we were living in LA at the time and we were in Walgreens and I was screaming at the top of my lungs, I know and then this woman comes up to my mom and she's like um, your baby is crying in perfect pitch, like I'm Mariah Carey's vocal coach. Like your baby's crying in perfect pitch. So I would say, since a baby, um, that is insanity.

Speaker 1: 4:40

I've never heard anything like that. What? No, it's so ridiculous.

Speaker 2: 4:43

But yeah, that's. That's like the first story that my mom has where, like she was, like she knew I was probably going to be a singer.

Speaker 1: 4:50

Crying in perfect pitch is nuts. What the fuck. I wish I could even hear what that sounds like. I know.

Speaker 2: 4:57

I'm like what does that even? I guess I'll take it.

Speaker 1: 4:59

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 2: 5:01

But yeah. So I feel like in ninth grade, like when I was in high school, I kind of started taking it serious and I was putting out like singing videos and covers and like building like a little audience.

Speaker 1: 5:15

And then I was in a girl group for a little while. What, yeah, I did not know that, I know.

Speaker 2: 5:18

Just journey, lore what. But yeah, I was in a girl group for like three years in Atlanta and then left the girl group and then when I was like a senior in high school, I started like dropping my own music.

Speaker 1: 5:32

Okay, because you've been taking me all over the world. You were in LA and Atlanta. Now you're in Harlem. So what's the villain origin story? Where are you from? I'm so confused.

Speaker 2: 5:43

Okay, so my whole family is from Harlem. Okay, I'm from Harlem, but we moved to LA when I was very little and lived there for like two years.

Speaker 1: 5:52

Okay, and then came back, okay.

Speaker 2: 5:54

And then when I was like in middle school-ish, we went to Atlanta and then, like around COVID, I came back home, okay, so yeah.

Speaker 1: 6:04

So how did you like Atlanta? Because those three cities are all very different, yes, very, very different. La is very different, atlanta, one of my personal favorite cities, yeah, love, love, love. But then again, harlem, even though it's New York, it's its own fucking world, it is yeah.

Speaker 2: 6:20

For sure. I mean I love like calling those three places my home LA. I don't really know that much about LA, like LA makes me a bit uneasy, but like I guess technically I did live there, yeah, um, whatever. So I mean I think, I like, I think Atlanta is like my second favorite. I really like Atlanta. I really like just like the community that's there community the community is great, it just gives black excellence.

Speaker 1: 6:45

Yes, it does, I don't know. I love it.

Speaker 2: 6:50

And the entrepreneurism, just everything.

Speaker 1: 6:52

The entrepreneurism is crazy and I think what's cool about Atlanta and I've never lived there, my grandma lives there but when I was spending time there earlier this year, I noticed how just the economy Money is just flowing For black people like the dollar stays within the community. I love it. I love it.

Speaker 2: 7:11

It's so inspiring. It's really really cool and I think everybody kind of like has this different air about them where they like know that they could just Self-right yeah, like it's. So I love it. I love the energy in Atlanta, same, and I think it was really interesting like going to school out there, because I've been to like every type of school you could think of, but I think it was really interesting going to school out there and just seeing like the level of like black love, like I just it was just different. It was very different Because I think New York has that, especially Harlem in its own way, but like it was just a little bit different it's definitely different.

Speaker 1: 7:45

It's definitely different. Harlem definitely. I think Harlem was what Atlanta is now.

Speaker 2: 7:52

Yeah, yeah, I could see that. Yeah, I could see that, so it's still there, but it's not like now.

Speaker 1: 7:57

Atlanta's the new home of it. Yeah, it was definitely Harlem first. Yeah. I agree, but yeah, that's like where I had all of my artist development, in Atlanta, where I started okay, yeah, so talk to me about your artist development, because in Atlanta I would say something else that is common, like you mentioned, the community, but they do a lot of pouring in to each other and there's so many legendary legends just casually living and pouring back. Uh, who did you work with when you were out there?

Speaker 2: 8:27

Well, I was in like a lot of just like artist development, like training programs and things like that, like working with a lot of different vocal coaches and like performance coaches. One of my like major people who poured into me, her name is KJ Rose of my like major people who poured into me, her name is KJ Rose and like we actually she was like my first performance like um singing vocal coach um, when I lived in New York and then she went to Atlanta so we kind of like went together and um, and just seeing where she's taken her career is like crazy. Like she was with like Lil Nas X, disney Channel, all sorts of stuff now, but like she was a big, big factor in a lot of my artist development. And there's also this program called like AGI in Atlanta and they produce a lot of really really dope artists in Atlanta.

Speaker 1: 9:19

So yeah, just like a lot of things like that, a lot of programs, a lot of like that, a lot of programs, a lot of like after school things, and yeah, that's awesome. I do really like to see, because every time I see you and your team, it's predominantly women. Yeah, and I love that, just because I feel like we need each other, you know, um, so just talk to me about, like, building out your team because, honestly, I had no idea you were in a girl group. Yeah, the fact that you went through that and then now you're also still working with predominantly women.

Speaker 2: 9:48

Just talk to me about like those hurdles or just like the blessing that it is to be surrounded by that yeah, um, I definitely think it's the first thing you notice coming into the music industry and most industries is that it's just men everywhere and like you kind of just have to now it and like figure it out, and I think that I didn't realize its effect and like how, because it's not like a bad thing, but like how anything can be. So like I think when I first got into it I was so young, like I think I kind of had to learn how to function and how to carry myself, yeah, like boundaries and things like that, really early on, because if not, you will be SOL, yeah. So, yeah, after figuring that out, I think I just started attracting women and I think even at one point I was surrounded by like all men.

Speaker 1: 10:46

And I was not good.

Speaker 2: 10:46

But like it wasn't not good, but like it wasn't. It was just like who was just around me and it wasn't really much I could do about it. And I was like, and now I think it's just like um, the energy that I'm, that I'm giving and that I'm trying to attract, because I think, like it's what you make it and who you're surrounded by yeah, you know, I definitely.

Speaker 1: 11:04

Yeah, I feel like you're definitely tapping into your femininity, um, and we love to see that, and sometimes it's just because men don't really get it. I don't, you know, like us it could be down to just simple details, but, like women know what we want to see from one another exactly like.

Speaker 2: 11:22

So like I think, you know, it's a beautiful thing.

Speaker 1: 11:25

But all right. So you've been singing your entire life, but now you're working on your debut album.

Speaker 2: 11:33

Yeah, do you have a?

Speaker 1: 11:33

name already for it.

Speaker 2: 11:35

I do Talk to me. Okay, the album is called Eclipse. Okay, I kind of wanted to keep it in the sky with Stargirl, the EP, and now we're going into like Eclipse, which I think just means so many different things for me personally. Yeah, I love. I love the whole concept, I love all the music. I feel like it's so much bigger than what I've been doing and so much more elevated and I really I think it was such an important thing for me to like really make it R&B and like I love R&B music. So if my music is not feeling like R&B and feeling like what I love, then something needs to change. So I think this is the first time I'm really hitting it on the nose with what I'm trying to sound like and what I wanted to give. It's giving what I want.

Speaker 1: 12:24

Are you more in control of your creative direction right now?

Speaker 2: 12:27

is that like yeah, definitely yeah, definitely, um, there's been a lot of changes lately, um, and like I just always take things like that with like a grain of salt, because a lot of the time it's out of my control. So, like, whatever changes are happening, like they're usually for the better. And yeah, I am, yeah, I'm really excited for this next era I've been doing especially for this project. Like I'm very like hands on with every little detail and, yeah, everything.

Speaker 1: 13:03

That's great. So you said eclipse has many meanings for you and why you love it. Let's get into some of these meanings.

Speaker 2: 13:11

Yeah, I think eclipse, like the whole point of an eclipse, is like the sun and the moon are like existing at the same time and it's like almost like an anomaly.

Speaker 2: 13:19

Well, it is like an anomaly and I think that's kind of the point. It's like I can be many different things at the same time and I can have all these different feelings at the same time, and it's like light and dark is existing at the same time at the same time, and it's like light and dark is existing at the same time, and like also the darkness that's in the light and the light that's in the darkness. I don't know kind of like, yeah, just playing on on all of those different things, and how a song can be like positive but also have like kind of darker feelings in it and and vice versa. Um, yeah, I think it's, it's a lot of that, and then like also just like I think there's there's so many things like in the sky and in the moon and then stars that you can like play on with like feelings and um, which is on.

Speaker 1: 14:09

Scorpio oh yeah, yeah, that okay. I'm sorry because now we're talking about the sky, then I'm thinking astrology, yeah, but you know, kind of coming to age in the spotlight, it's just not easy, yeah, you know. So you know it's commendable to see you because you, you wear it well. Talk to me just about, like, what is like, what is what does journey tell you know, in finding herself in the public light?

Speaker 2: 14:40

Yeah, I think for so long, and thank you also. I appreciate that I feel like for so long I was like in this really crazy like tunnel vision thing, especially when I was first starting out, like delulu is not the word, and I honestly missed that. You missed the delusion. Yes.

Speaker 2: 14:59

Oh yes, oh my gosh. It was so peaceful like I was just like not thinking about anything and I feel like I still have a lot of that. But I am noticing like, as you get older, time changes that and it kind of like start the lights turn on a little bit more.

Speaker 2: 15:13

Like just a little bit, yeah, but yeah, like it was so peaceful, like I get a rejection, I get a, I get a, no, like a l, like it just didn't matter, like and nothing mattered. Like I remember, even when I made my first song, like people were like this sucks, like this is really bad, and I was like you're crazy, this is literally a hit record. Like what are you talking about? Like I just I loved it, though.

Speaker 2: 15:40

And then like even with my singing videos. Like I used to annoy every single person I knew. Like I posted this. Like in comment, I posted this, I posted this, I posted this. Just like spamming every person I ever met in life, every person at school. Like, just, I was annoying and I did not care, and like if people were talking about me or like if people had an opinion. It literally just like roll I. I love that. For me, though, like I was so delusional, yeah, um, and I feel like I still have a little bit of that and I I hold on to it so dearly as you should yeah, like it just.

Speaker 2: 16:14

It just has like a piece to it and it just makes you move however you want to, and I think that's really the point of everything is to just do what you want to do, and sometimes the other stuff gets in the way. But I think growing up that was like the biggest thing that kept me afloat was just being delusional, like I didn't think too hard about anything, like I used to show anybody who would listen to my song that I made, or my music or my singing videos or my piano. I didn't care, and even if they were like that's nice, I'd be like, yeah, you love it. I know you're obsessed, you're a fan. No, she didn't mean.

Speaker 1: 16:50

Scorpio, that isn't Scorpio-ass shit actually.

Speaker 2: 16:54

I'm like, okay, yeah, I understand that's funny, but yeah, I think that was really what played like the biggest part in me Pushing you forward, yeah, like pushing through, hey, I like that.

Speaker 1: 17:05

I do. I honestly really like that. Okay, so this is your first project and it's technically going to be like your introduction to the world. Yeah, what is the message that you're sending? Because you say it's a wide range of emotions and you're showing us other sides, but what is it?

Speaker 2: 17:23

Yeah, it's so funny, Me and Camper were just talking about this because we were breaking down like a few different albums and I feel like every especially like the best albums in my opinion have like an overall message, like a theme that's like underlying in my opinion, have an overall message, a theme that's underlying, and I feel like, because I feel like there's a lot of affirmation undertones to the album, I think it's like I believe in myself and I'm the best. It's very delu-lu, the same energy, it's very delusional. I even have a song called Lucky Girl Syndrome. I'm just lucky and everybody needs me and I'm just perfect, you know, but like I think it's like a healthy amount.

Speaker 2: 18:04

Like it's not too much where it's like toxic or anything, but it's just like I believe in myself. Yeah.

Speaker 1: 18:13

And I'm the best and, yeah, I deserve the world. Fuck that, every shit man, because this world will try to like take your confidence from you every step of the way, especially as a woman of color. So I'm here for it. I am Like.

Speaker 2: 18:25

I 100% support the Lulu, yeah, and I think for. So, like, even just recently, I find it so like I've been so picky with music because I feel like words have so much power, yes, and like I don't know, I'm not even like a music snob or anything like that, but like I just don't find myself wanting to listen to things that have like anything like if I'm saying like negative things or like, because it all is affirmations, it is, you know what I mean, it's all Like because it all is affirmations. Even if you know what I mean, it's all. And I also notice a lot with when I write songs. Like, when I write songs, it'll be like I'm not even realizing what I'm saying and then it'll kind of manifest. So whatever I'm saying in a song, like two weeks later I'll be like oh my gosh, I was just talking about this.

Speaker 1: 19:12

I mean, but that's how it works. Snoop Dogg was on trial for murder after he dropped a record about yeah, you know what I mean. So it's like that's literally how it works. So that's what I actually liked. When you said positive affirmations and I was just talking about this with Iman it's like I have this playlist where I only put records on it that have positive messaging, and I know it sounds corny, but in reality, like this is just what I want to feed my mind with. Like I don't want to.

Speaker 1: 19:39

I had to stop listening to Future once I got out of college. I think, like, literally, I hit my peak in college and I was like yo, I do not agree with this messaging, and it's not that. Yeah, no, I know he's a phenomenal writer, a great artist, but but like me personally, as a black woman, I don't want to hear that. Yeah, for me. Like, not on a daily, I'll do it in the club. Yeah, but like if I'm not there, I'm not listening to it. Yeah, so I totally get that and receive that. But then you wanting to have like positive affirmations about yourself and stuff like that. I'm curious, do you see yourself in some of the other music? That's.

Speaker 2: 20:20

Yeah, I think that's partially what got me to this point, because I feel like I was like, not that all the music is like negative, but like I feel like I was like on some like DTN, like fuck niggas get money, like for so long, and it kind of made me, and then also with everybody else on that timing and like that's just the vibes, that's where we're at. Yeah, like when you're hearing it and then you're doing it and you're like promoting it and you're like that's just your whole, and then you also see it like affecting how you function on your own, like in your relationships and with guys or whatever crazy I can already tell yeah, it's like I'm a menace and like do I want to be a menace?

Speaker 2: 21:04

Like is that really what makes me happy? Yeah, so I think it was just like really finding a balance, because you know, like you can still have fun music and like whatever, like I don't take no BS, like it's fine. But like just finding a balance because I do think that I kind of hit my where I was like OK, ok, ok, I can't take it anymore. I can't take it anymore. Toxic life is not for me.

Speaker 2: 21:26

Yeah, it's just a little, you know, but like also just doing stuff that feeds me and like will feed other people positively, and like I also want to give people something that makes them feel good and like that they can play with their parents and like that you know what I mean that like filling people's cups instead of like totally understood and I think that's great.

Speaker 1: 21:54

I think, um, something about r&b which is I mean, I love rap, but I also probably equally love r&b. I like rappers who rap and I like singers who sing. I like R&B. But something about I notice with R&B when I'm DJing is it's universal. Like black, white, male, female, everybody loves R&B. So that's why I like that. I like the direction you're going. I think it's important. Thank you, yeah, but okay, so album out now. But the record that you have out right now is called Journey. Do people really call you Bernie, or are you just saying?

Speaker 2: 22:31

that, because it rhymes.

Speaker 1: 22:31

Because I'm like I ain't never heard nobody call this girl Bernie and she keeps singing it. I keep singing it on my timeline and I don't believe you?

Speaker 2: 22:39

Oh my gosh. Well, my family calls me Bernie Do they really yeah, my mom. Well, they'll call me like Journey Bernie.

Speaker 1: 22:44

Oh, okay, okay, Journey Bernie.

Speaker 2: 22:46

Oh, okay, okay, like it's like it was like my childhood, like little nickname. Nickname yeah, Okay, got it, got it.

Speaker 1: 22:51

I'm like why is this girl lying? I don't know why I call her Bernie. No, a couple people were like I've never heard my call you that.

Speaker 2: 23:04

But honestly, though, when I put that in the song, like my mom almost shed a tear, Because she's the person who like calls me that for real. She's like, I call you that Like, that's like her little, that's actually fire.

Speaker 1: 23:16

Oh, okay, now I like it even more.

Speaker 2: 23:19

Oh yay, okay, good, now I like it even more because I was like, oh, okay, okay, and it's so funny because a couple of people have been telling me whether their name is Journey or they know somebody named Journey and they're like, yeah, my name is Journey and they call me Journey. Bernie too, what, my daughter's name is Journey, we call her Bernie. It's really cute, that is cute, so cute.

Speaker 1: 23:40

See, the more we learn about you, the more it relates to more people, right, I love it.

Speaker 2: 23:44

Who knew there were so many journeys? I should make a shirt that's just like my name is Journey and give it to all the journeys. I think you should.

Speaker 1: 23:51

I think that would be fire marks. Hell, I might wear it. My name's not even Journey, but I'm here. I support it. Hey, all right, so we're going to. The less I, the less I avoid Mm yeah, taking things head on. Yeah, accountability, yeah, I love that for you, thank you. What's the shift?

Speaker 2: 24:15

you think, Just like being on my own, like growing up a little bit more, Like it's's like you're kind of learning, like if you don't do it, it's not gonna get done, like you know what I mean sometimes, like not having the safety net of being like a teenager and stuff, yeah.

Speaker 1: 24:35

So, yeah, welcome to this. You hear this, so he's prepare. Okay, she's about to go to college. Um, all right, I can't believe. I actually, when I was younger- um, I can't believe.

Speaker 2: 24:47

I actually, when I was younger.

Speaker 1: 24:50

I can't believe I actually the evil laugh is giving that you was up to something. I'm thinking of some things.

Speaker 2: 24:54

I'm thinking of some things, but I'm like let me not say that I can't believe I actually thought I was in love when I was younger. Because I really did. I thought I was going to get married.

Speaker 1: 25:13

Yeah, in high school, okay, okay, yeah, ah, you know what? Yeah, understandable, you know what, but it's not our fault. They condition. They condition us to want love, to find love, and like you see all these stories that are all bullshit, and like then you get older and you realize like okay, fairy tales aren't real and these are the realities of the world. And now we're here. But good for you, I'm glad. What popped your bubble?

Speaker 2: 25:34

when you realized um, just like, I guess, looking back now like I'm just like, so yikes, no, no, loud and wrong.

Speaker 1: 25:46

Yeah, you live and you learn. Okay, I'm a little embarrassed by the fact that I know so little about maybe about sneakers.
