SINGER-SONGWRITER WHO JUST RELEASED HER LATEST SINGLE

"HIGHER."

WE LOVE IT EVERY TIME SHE STOPS BY.

PLEASE WELCOME, THE ALWAYS COOL, BISHOP BRIGGS!

( APPLAUSE ) HOW ARE YOU?

HOW ARE YOU DOING?

HOW NICE TO SEE YOU.

>> SO GOOD TO SEE YOU.

THANK YOU FOR SUCH A NICE INTRO.

I FEEL SO SPECIAL.

>> James: WELL, YOU SHOULD BE SPECIAL.

I WILL BE HONEST.

NOT THAT MANY PEOPLE COULD GET AWAY WITH THIS HAIRSTYLE AT THE

MOMENT.

>> THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE WHEN YOU ARE GROWING YOUR HAIR

OUT AND YOU WANT TO AVOID THE AWKWARD MIDDLE PHASE.

I ALWAYS WAS, LIKE, I'LL BE FINE WITH THE AWKWARD, LIKE, GROWING

OUT HAIR PHASE AND THEN, WHEN IT BEGAN, MY HAIR STARTED GOING TO

THE CEILING.

I DIDN'T THINK OF HUMIDITY.

I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW I HAD CURLY HAIR UNTIL I'M REALIZING NOW.

>> James: IT'S THE NATURAL CHOICE WHAT YOU'VE DONE.

I DON'T THINK THERE'S A SINGLE SOUL AT HOME WOULD THINK WHEN I

WAS IN THAT IN BETWEEN PHASE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I CHOOSE.

>> CAN I ASK YOU SOMETHING THOUGH, HONESTLY?

>> James: YES.

DOES THIS REMIND YOU OF "SOMETHING ABOUT MARY."

>> James: THAT'S NOT WHERE MY MIND WENT AT ALL.

HERE'S WHAT I DO THINK IS THAT YOU GET ARTISTIC EXEMPTION,

WHICH I THINK IT'S ONLY MUSICIANS AND POP STARS CAN DO

THESE THINGS AND YOU GO, OH, YEAH, SO COOL.

( LAUGHTER ) LIKE, IF I DID THAT, IF I CAME

IN WITH MY HAIR LIKE THAT, I THINK THERE WOULD BE AN

INTERVENTION.

BUT BECAUSE YOU'RE AN ARTIST, IT'S, LIKE, YEAH, MAN.

SHE'S JUST SO COOL.

I MEAN, IT'S TRUE THAT YOU ARE.

YOUR PERFORMANCES THAT YOU'VE DONE HERE ON THE SHOW ARE

AMONGST OUR ABSOLUTE FAVORITES.

YOU JUST GIVE 110% EVERY TIME YU PERFORM, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW

YOU'RE A HUGE KARAOKE BUFF, AND IT'S ACTUALLY HOW YOU STARTED

PERFORMING.

WHAT ARE BISHOP BRIGGS' GO-TO KARAOKE SONGS?

>> I LIKE TO START IT OFF CHILL WITH BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY.

>> James: REAL CHILL.

IT'S ALWAYS BEEN REGARDED AS A CHILL SONG.

>> LET'S DO 20 DIFFERENT OKAYTIVES IN A MATTER OF

SECONDS.

AND I LOVE AT THE END OF THE NIGHT WHERE EVERYBODY IS A BIT

SLOSHY, WE'RE HAVING A GOOD TIME, I LO LOVE TO DO GOODBYE MY

LOVER.

YOU KNOW, GOODBYE.

>> James: GOODBYE MY LOVER BY JAMES BLUNT?

NOT THAT ONE, IS IT?

>> YEAH ( SINGING )

>> HE'S SUCH AN ICON, WHY WOULD HE SING IT IN THAT WAY?

( LAUGHTER ) ( SINGING )

>> IT WANTS LIKE WHY DON'T WE OPEN?

WE DON OPEN OUR MOUTHS.

>> James: I LIKE THE JAMES BLUNT ONE ABOUT THE WISE MAN BY

THE SEA.

♪ LOOK WHO'S ALONE NOW ♪ ♪ IT'S NOT ME, IT'S NOT ME ♪

I DON'T KNOW IF I'M BEING JAMES BLUNT OR THE BEE GEES, I CAN'T

FIGURE IT OUT.

NOW, YOUR NEW SONG THAT YOU'RE PERFORMING ON THE SHOW TONIGHT

HAS A GREAT MESSAGE.

EXPLAIN WHAT THE SONG IS ABOUT.

>> MY GOAL WAS TO MANIFEST THIS EXISTENCE WHERE I WAS HAPPY AND

FULL AND I HAD JUST GONE THROUGH A BREAKUP AND IT WAS LIKE A DAY

AFTER THE BREAKUP AND I WAS, LIKE, UM I HAVEN'T LEARNED ANY

OF MY LESSONS.

I'M, LIKE, NO, I DON'T FEEL THANKFUL OR GRATEFUL.

SO WHEN I WENT INTO THE STUDIO, I WAS, LIKE, WHY DON'T I TRY TO

MANIFEST AN EXISTENCE WHERE I'VE LEARNED THE LESSONS, I FEEL

POWERFUL, I FEEL LIKE I'VE GROWN FROM THIS, AND IN MY HEAD IT WAS

LIKE I WANTED THIS SONG TO BE LIKE YOU'RE RUNNING DOWN A

STREET HIGH FIVING PEOPLE AND YOU'RE, LIKE, DON'T WORRY ABOUT

A THING, IT WILL BE GREAT.

AND THEN WITH COVID, I WAS, LIKE, ALL RIGHT, THAT RUINS --

AND JUST AVOID LIKE THE EYES.

BUT, YEAH, SURE.

AND, YEAH, AND, SO, UM, I FEEL LIKE IT'S REALLY COME TRUE, YOU

KNOW, I AM, LIKE, SITTING IN FRONT OF YOU A MUCH HA HAPPIER

PERSON.

SO MY THOUGHT IS HOPEFULLY BY PEOPLE JUST LISTENING TO IT THEY

CAN MANIFEST THAT NEW EXISTENCE FOR THESMS EVEN IF FOR A

FLEETING MOMENT.

>> James: WELL, THE SONG IS GREAT AND YOU WILL BE PERFORMING

IT RIGHT AFTER THE BREAK.

STICK AROUND
