After such a long time out from playing live, to be part of this Samsung experience that brings three different amazing acts together has been wild. Collaborating with Aries Moross, a personal hero of mine, who’s pushing the boundaries of sexuality and gender, and the London Community Gospel Choir on a song that means so much to me was something I’ll remember for a really long time.”
