Absolutely conversou com a NME sobre o fato de que ela e suas irmãs RAYE e Amma se apresentaram separadamente no Reading & Leeds Festival 2026 neste fim de semana.
Embora ela tenha crescido não muito longe de Londres, esta foi a primeira visita de Absolutely’s ao Reading Festival – então, para se apresentar no palco principal, ela disse, era “realmente insano”.
She’d come straight from a meet-and-greet with fans, of which she said: “There were so many lovely people, just saying that they loved seeing me live, and came and saw me on different tours, opening for Reneé Rapp and my sister, RAYE.
People were saying they love my world and my fashion and things like that. Some people made little outfits to resemble my stage looks, which was so cute.”.
Asked if that inspired her for future projects, Absolutely replied: “It feels like everything I’m doing is not in vain. It feels like it’s appreciated and understood and people really care about it.
Isso me dá mais motivo para continuar criando.
The singer also reflected on her eclectic second album, ‘Paracosm’, which was released in February: “It really started from me separating myself from thinking and creating from a logical perspective, or trying to craft a song that people are gonna like.
I was creating from more of a place of, ‘What do I enjoy creating?’ [I was] playing. That was the concept of the album.”.
Asked if that fan knew that they’d inspired her second album, Absolutely replied: “I don’t know, actually!” She then turned to the camera to address the commenter: “You titled my album.”.
Revelou que ela e RAYE haviam assistido ao show de Amma: "Foi tão acolhedor… Ela foi incrível, e eu estava vendo RAYE na beira do palco para o meu set, e todos nós estávamos passando tempo juntos.

Of their musical family, she said: “My dad was the one who introduced music to the household. He loves producing and writing songs. He taught us all how to write songs.
And then my mum was always playing church music in the house, gospel music. We were always singing, my dad playing the piano [and singing] harmonies. It was just second nature in our house.”.
Asked what’s next for her creatively, she explained: “Next is figuring out what the next musical world is, which I’m stepping into now, and it’s exciting to be back in the studio again.
And thinking about what an Absolutely tour would look like, which is exciting. And designing more clothes.”.
Reading 2026 continues today with performances from Holly Humberstone, Westside Cowboy, Loyle Carner, Violet Grohl, Florence + the Machine and Kneecap – plus a secret set from Lola Young.
