Straight from the comments
That interviewer deserves a raise — that girl made Renée so comfortable to open up like that. That is so rare, and I applaud her for it.
Great interview questions! An actual conversation about music. The interviewer needs a raise or a bonus — both! Awesome work in a frenetic environment.
Love the interviewer — nice to have someone who’s a clear fan asking an artist the questions we all wanna hear!
I love an interviewer who does her research. She was great — didn’t talk over Renée, but asked thoughtful questions.
She had fantastic questions for JC! And btw, congratulations again, Jacob Collier!
Holy s**t, this interviewer is really good.
The mc was super sweet — thank you soo much for interviewing the girls. The way she looked super excited while interviewing them, and gave a good reaction after they answered.
The host is so sweet, the girls look very comfortable around her. Thank you so much for the interview, Rolling Stone!
