Indie pop duo The Two Lips, consisting of best friends Jewlz and Andrea. Their Kiss & Tell Tour begins on October 27, 2025, in Nevada and will end on November 20, 2025, in Texas.
What is your songwriting process like?
Two Lips: It's definitely collaborative. We both have our strengths in different parts of what makes a song. We come together and it's magic. It really starts with a feeling, either one of us or both of us will be going through something at the same time, and it just happens to be at a time we have a session. It makes the writing process so easy, whether it's oh, I'm so angry or in love or I'm sad. Then we get to process that through the song we make. Once we write it, like okay, that feeling has been processed, and we let it out. We wait a couple of months for it to come out, and then we have to re-live it again. Sometimes it's nice and sometimes it's sad. It's relative to what we are going through or movies we like, or a feeling we've had before that we want to put out into the world.
What is your favorite part of working as a duo?
Two Lips: We both gave our strengths, we’re like yin and yang. It balances out perfectly well. We both have our individual influences, and we get to bring that together. We like the same things, which is why we're best friends in the first place. It's fun to be able to use that as a creative outlet. Also, not all the pressure is on one person; it's equally distributed on both of us. We would never be able to do this alone. It's a lot, it's nice to be able to do it together.
How does it feel to take something so personal and share it with the world?
Two Lips: It was always something we wanted to do. We used to do it with our laptop. The first couple of shows, we were pressing the space bar on our laptop. We always dreamt of performing it. When we would make it into her room, we would look in the mirror like how we would perform. It was always intended for that. We just didn't know when it was going to happen. It's definitely a surreal moment being able to do it together and now with a band and people actually coming to the shows. We love performing.
Do you have any pre-show or post-show rituals?
Two Lips: In the beginning, this is going to sound so LA of us, but we would go get an Erewon smoothie before every show. It's changed over time. Now we do a chant with our band members. Andrea does the cross three times on me. We do it in the "Still Love You" video, we go "two tulips do not die slowly in a vase." Our old name used to be tulips like the flower, and there is an Omar Apollo song where he goes "Tulips dying slowly in a vase." We thought that was bad juju, so we always say the opposite. I feel like if we don't say it, it's bad luck. We also take two shots of tequila, gotta loosen the nerves and have some fun.
What songs do you enjoy performing the most?
Two Lips: “still love you” is my favorite, everyone sings it. Whenever we do covers, it’s always fun and intimate.
What are the biggest changes in your career since the release of your song “still love you”?
Two Lips: Everything, from being put in spaces we weren't before. Given these crazy opportunities that not many get till years later. It’s been eight months since we released that song. We are just very grateful and blessed to be going through what we are now. It is scary, but it's cool that we get to do it together.
