Dylan O'Brien auditioning for All Too Well: The Short Film

“I think one thing I noticed about just this week in general is that I think back to the release week of Red—which is the album out, just in case anyone missed it—which originally came out about a decade ago. I was 22 and that release week was so stressful because no one had heard any of the music. There are like 14 different genres in this album. It’s quite a patchwork quilt on genre. I was experimenting. And I think I was so focused on, ‘Is anyone going to like it?’ And I was also at the time, honestly really sad, because I had gone through the stuff that I had sung about. But this time I’ve got sunglasses on and like a mojito. It’s chill this time. It’s nice to put this album out and not be sad, not be taking breaks between interviews to cry. It’s much better this way. Time passing, you know? And reliving your experiences from your 20s in your 30s is really the way to do it.”

not a bad girl but would do bad things with you

I can’t believe I get to work with Aaron Dessner. When Aaron came into my life, I was ushered into his world of free-flowing creativity where you don’t overthink, you just make music. His generosity of spirit and humility bleeds into every part of his life, and that’s why so many artists have jumped at the chance to be a part of his collaborative project, Big Red Machine. A song we wrote (which also features ⚡️Justin Vernon✨) is out today! It’s called Renegade. Thanks Aaron for asking me to show up at your party. bigredmachine.jagjag.co/renegade
