'She’s not your predictable star in a lot of ways.' Fresh off their live performance together in L.A., carlyraejepsen and rufuswainwright discuss Judy Garland, 'The Loneliest Time,' and TikTok virality.
she’s shown her staying power by cultivating a diverse and hardcore contingent of fans rather than chasing the ultra-mainstream popularity of her first single. It has been said that Jepsen makes “dance music for introverts,” and her new albumembraces and expands on that distinction. The record celebrates solitude with an unlikely sense of jubilation, from the cheeky “Beach House” to the ethereal “Bends.
WAINWRIGHT: I hung out with them briefly before going on, and they were just so over the moon to be seeing each other and to be able to do it once again. Because my assumption is that with most of them, they’re really hard working showbiz hopefuls who really do whatever job comes around, but they really appreciated this.
out, we were just so proud of ourselves. But I feel like a grandma in this business, and I’m definitely not promising that I’ll be doing it on the regular.JEPSEN: You know what? I think our song is doing the best on TikTok.JEPSEN: Oh, that’s so funny. WAINWRIGHT: But I have to say though, it has been lovely to be able to do that again and to get out. And now we’re getting to the Canadian question, or being a Canadian living in America.WAINWRIGHT: Well, I went to boarding school for about four years in New York State. So for high school, I was in the US. But then I went back. I went to McGill in Montreal. I really left when I was around 24.WAINWRIGHT: But I’ve gone back occasionally.
WAINWRIGHT: First I’ll tell you what she means to me and then you can tell me what she means to you. But I recently celebrated her 100th birthday. I did a few shows in New York and Chicago. At one point, I got to actually sing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” with Lorna Luft, Judy’s daughter. And we actually lit up the Empire State Building together in a rainbow. It was pretty gay.WAINWRIGHT: It was very touching, and I felt very honored to be chosen for that. I was back in the Judy orbit.
, too, come to think of it. I don’t mind if it’s something a little over the top. But true blue acting is not a skill that I have in the same way. I’m really amazed by it. I think it’s such a thing to take on another character. I think the only things that I could play would be characters adjacent to my own personality.
JEPSEN: Oh, I would love that. And I’ll be on my best behavior and try not to be like, “Please perform.”
