NF on new album 'Hope', working with Julia Michaels and how OCD affected his creative process 

Its crazy to see his confidence in this vs his NME interview for the Search. So proud of this guy 🙏

I know it may be ironic, but Nate seems like the embodiment of comfort

While I was watching this, this quote from MOTTO kept ringing in my head “You might see me in the same clothes, I had on last week am I ashamed, no.”

when he said he'd love to work with AJR my heart skipped a beat. i would love that collab! 28:55

Proud of NF man words can’t explain his journey, appreciate the album and the growth thank you ❤

NF needs to write an autobiography I feel it would be so emotionally deep and cathartic for himself and fans

NF AND AJR COLLAB WOULD GO ABSOLUTELY CRAZY

NF is the only artist ill sit down and watch an interview for 40 minutes

My man says selling 500 tickets per show is huge and he is selling out 10k+ arenas in hours now. So humble, I love it.

This is the growth that inspires us, not just music nah....Nate actually looks more comfortable in this interview, confident, way more matured just by how he's handling himself and the whole thing than he did in The Search era.

28:55 man, NF and AJR are both one of my top 3 favorite artists of all time. The fact that NF would wanna do something with them is CRAZY to me. I don't know, guess we'll have to see in due time.

The interviewer and NF are just having a good time with no offensive questions and all. Thats real and down to earth man 🙌💯🙌

He has grown SO MUCH since The Search. It's truly his best album ever. Like he said that is a part of his journey that is closing. " I wanna hear something different from me. " He is just so humble about his collaborations as well. " This bug what's going on with this bug bro. " 😬😬🤣🤣

Bro I would go CRAZY if NF and AJR collabed, they are my top two artists I love them bolth

The fact the he got bothered by the fly is so funny to me😂

NF seems like a very chill guy. We love you NF!❤️

Before the albums before the EP before everything, Nate was performing in my little small town of Fremont MI in front of middle schoolers during an assembly Now so many of us from my hometown can say we are truly day one fans 🔥

seeing NF’s journey over the years is incredible, so proud of him

Thank you Nate for being able to fight through the struggles you went through in creating HOPE for us. Remember to give yourself the time to breathe, rest, and be with your family. You can take 12 years in creating the next one idc but remember that your outcasts will always be here. Love you always

How can my favourite rapper be my favourite singer. Talent is off the charts. There is no one like him

Having all the money as a crazy artist, this man is so humble to just wear normally with hoodie instead of wearing diamond chains and big Gucci shoes

i know its been 1 year RIGHT NOW, but i just love how little details he actually puts on his clothes, and i dont know if im going insane, if he did it on purpose or it was actually non intentional, but the fact that he's wearing grey clothes makes me think like thats some kind of transformation, like he's finally going into the brighter side of his thoughts, going from black to white and he's like in the middle of the path, and in Hope he finally reaches that bright side, he actually starts seeing everything from the deifferent and good perspective of things, forgiving his own mistakes, forgiving all the bad that happened and finally achieving his happiness, i really hope he did that on purpose

Damn i like how he using his own lyrics to answer his questions😮‍💨

So happy to have this interview come up on my recommendations page! It's so amazing to see how much Nate has grown. From the creation of "How Could You Leave Us?" to "Mama". No doubt that Nate has really continued to progress so far. My stepdad at the time introduced me to him when he first did a collab with Flame, and then I listened to Wait, then the Mansion album. It just kept going from there. On behalf of all of your fans, supporters, and even people who've only heard one song from you, thank you Nate for touching so many of our lives.❤

28:06 yes please😭, so many artists I think NF would mesh so well with ( Ollie, phora, witt lowry, chelsea cutler, token, logic etc.) and create a great track. hoping he dives more into collabs

I loved this interview! NF's music is the ONLY artist that I have listened to his ENTIRE catalog. The only other artist that affects me the way his music does is Stevie Nicks music. She is my musical idol. Nate is just so humble, genuine, and a great human. I saw him on the Clouds tour. I can't wait for this one in July.

Loved seeing him talk about the Motto video. That was such a fun & memorable experience ❤

He's such a chill humble dude 👍 Comes from a small town and has a small-town attitude 🤘

At least the interviewer knew who he was in the room with!

the day NF retires, is the day that i cry forever

The HOPE album is a masterpiece! I love the diversity among the songs.

I got into NF because I bought my GF a concert ticket for him. After the concert I started to listen to him more then she did lol

Love how humbled he is. Hope you keep writing Nate. 40 and beyond. You are good at your craft mate.

Nathan, bruh you're my personal favorite artist of all time! I appreciate your transparency, even with the most difficult points of life, and I will continue to support your gift for as long as you choose to share yourself with us and beyond!🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹

ITs legit insane to see how different and more confortable NF is, wish i could say how proud i am of his journey. How could you leave us and Momma kinda reflects the growth and its so incredible i cant put it into words

Love the guy he's a very honest authentic guy. I like that he's constantly questioning if he's falling off or if he still has anything left to say. As long as that doesn't consume him it will keep him driven

Guy is a true musical genius. Doesn’t care about fame just art.

Great interview, its refreshing to see the person who is conducting the interview actually let the person speak without interrupting them! Good job!

But when u were a kid it was ur therapy. U just wrote down what u heard in ur head. You remembered the way it was said by tone of voice and rapped it. Sometimes crying sometimes angry. Who wants to talk about happy raps (sarcasm)?😂 Boring. Real life means realllllly talking to ppl who have issues. Ur listening to them and writing down ur raps sounds like where ur at now struggling NF. 🎉🎉❤❤ That's growth!!!!

AJR collab would be CRAZYYYYYY🔥🔥🔥🔥 So many unique sounds within their tracks I think this would be extremely interesting

The reason why he lasted this long and probably even longer is because he is different in his Music and his videos he doesn't act like he want to be someone he's not and people like me loves that about Nate

It must be so nice to just sit and have a conversation with him in person. Just talking about his past, his present and what he sees in his future etc. It’s one thing over the internet but in person someone’s vibe is so different.

Discovered him only this year and he is my favourite artist now . Such a humble and real person. Wish all the best for him

I would love to see you and Dax on a song. I feel like yall relate. You're a amazing person Nate. I thank you for your music and what you stand for man!

It's amazing seeing these interviews.... I'm so happy for Nate...I really hope and pray that his mental health is as 'healthy' as it seems

nf is doing great, cant wait for the next album .

Nf could play all of his albums live in one day and I would be there.

I love his voice it’s so peaceful and beautiful

I've been listening to NF for like 6 or 7 years now!! That's crazy to me, icl but my mum came in room last week to say that she found a rapper she likes and it turned out to be NF so I just showed her my HOPE hoodie and it was too funny

Nate is genuinely a very nice guy always spitting the truth and with a tone that people can relate to it's just so amazing seeing this man grow as a person

Thanks so much for talking about OCD! It's super important. I'm loving the new album and will be at your concert coming up. 😄

Never understood people who we’re obsessed with celebrities until I got introduced to nf his music is so relatable and has helped me through the toughest of times which I never never been able to relate to any other artist. He is also such a super sweet guy I wish nothing but the best for him

the storm in the background was such an amazing unintended touch. if its was sunny and clear the video wouldnt have the same effect

What’s crazy is that the first time I listened to Bullet, I thought to myself, “this instrumental kinda has some AJR vibes to it” only for him to mention in this interview that a colab with them would be cool. I hope that at some point down the line they make something together because I really think they could create a masterpiece.

So glad I got to meet this guy.

I would like to see NF do something with Dax

This interview and conversation flowed so well!

20:53 Missed chance to say "we're all a product of the things that we experience" (Now the rest of that line is playing in my head) I appreciate you so much NF! ❤❤❤

I am glad NF has kept it humble... all while Hope explodes everywhere...

Oh God , How could an interview be a masterpiece ? He is great and even his regular words seem a work of art ❤❤

Been waiting on a new good NF Interview for a long time. Thank you. He is the GOAT!

NF is a beautiful person... So glad i found him; he changed my life 👏 Looking forward to seeing you in concert in July 😁

He filmed Hope on the Oregon coast??? I thought it had to be someplace super exotic like Iceland or the Netherlands or something. Literally an hour from where I live instead! It's amazing what good cinematography looks like.

Yo simplemente amo a Nathan y su música. Lloré con el nuevo álbum. Yo deseo que algún día haga un show en México. 🇲🇽

As a ocd person who also love hiphop really got emotional feeling from NF

Pause. *Goes to look up AJR*.... YES. YES do a collab please!

NF and AJR?? would be pretty sick 😎

I love NF bro at 26:09 "you see this bug man" perfect example of OCD

HE WANTS TO COLLABORATE WITH AJR!! MY FAVORITE GROUP WITH ONE OF MY FAVORITE ARTISTS, I WOULD DIE

Him saying that he wants to do something with AJR is so unbelievably cool

I love how throughout the video, Nate gets lower and lower on the couch

NF deserves all respects.

The interviewer did a great job in letting NF just talk. Like at times you forgot he was there. Fun interview

Risking sounding cliche, but he is very relatable with his train of thought and the pressure he puts on himself and his work. I read somewhere that he is INFJ and I totally see it! Constantly thinking/worrying about the future yet knowing we should intend to be more present with others. The seemingly contradictive way of speaking when (over) explaining ourselves and how we think- he's very introspective and appears to reevaluate himself often, including not wanting to bore others with something he may have already said in his music. His desire to be unique without being overly bothersome 🙋🏻‍♀️ The fact that he enjoys expressing emotions yet is logical about leaving an event early to beat traffic 😂 I didn't get lost once listening to this interview and I know many of my family members would with this pattern of speaking (that I also share and see zero problems with) 😂

crazy how he thinks nothing is good enough when he's never had a bad song.

We love NF 🖤🖤🖤🖤

he didn't ask "nate, what it's like to be famous?" disappointed actually

NF is the GOAT

Next album should be “moments” a call back go his HS mixtape. Journey from “the search” and looking for hope/happiness. “HOPE” beginning to find it and gain closure on issues like “mama” Vs “how could you leave us” and all the other references on “hope” the track. Bring it full circle to where he started and how he’s learning to live in the moment. And complete his story / journey

I’d be happy to help in any video of NFs in any capacity. Let’s do an acoustic hip hop album together or just a track

His voice is so relaxing

Knowing he has a lot of unreleased music, even if not up to his standard, drives me crazy. 🤯🤯 I need that in my life.

I hope he also drops a single later this year. Always love more NF, especially his music videos

Nate your a legend dude… continue to be you! God bless!

Nate looked so relaxed and looked like he enjoyed himself. We even got some laughter. Great interview!

Been a fan since 2013. The growth in Hope and all of the connections from past albums is unreal. Thanks Nate for your push to grow yourself in your music. Uncomfortable, hard mental blocks, and life changes has created another pivotal album in peoples lives! I think it would be a fun project to do a link analysis with all of your music videos and writing connections. You literally have a movie when you piece your music videos together!

now THIS is a great interview and a skilled interviewer. That other interview was so boring with that one girl whatever her name is

NF, if you ever take a few years off making music. We will still be here once you start again!

NF should make a concept album where the music videos tell an ongoing story, kinda like Logic’s “Incredible True Story”.

I knew he was working on Hope when Clouds came out! After all he did say that in That's A Joke

NF wants to collab with AJR let's gooooooooooo 28:55

Well done NF, look how far you have come, you and your family would be SO proud!!! Keep up the amazing talent you have and thank you so much for sharing 😀 P.S I think the bug is a fan 😂😂😂

I love NF. I relate to him so much.

Nf is the best artist. Made it without a label and is literally filling the top 10 chart by himself. Try and tell me someone else is better. I dare you 💀

AJR would absolutely be a crazy feature; they also have a very cinematic style for their backtracks

Uhhhhh, AJR? Can we make this happen please? 28:50 I would love this collab.

Ajr and Nf!!! Make it happen it will be legendary

BRO BRO BRO PLEASE DO SOMETHING WITH AJR

Mans is wearing grey slides and socks in an interview. Respect.
