We've been talking twice a week
0:01
You're funny, but like, when is this coming out? Hey, this is Who, What, Where and I'm Pink Pantheress
0:11
Let's get into it. I don't really believe in astrology because I don't feel like
0:16
anything I've heard necessarily applies to me too much. I don't know. I don't want to offend anyone
0:20
So I'm just going to stop talking now. But my sign is Aries
0:24
My manager knows all of my risings and everything, but I don't know what they are. I'm not going to lie to you
0:28
I'd say my go-to outfit formula would be to wear like leggings with some long UGG boots which like
0:35
go up to my like half or something I really am a big fan of boots but mostly UGG boots just because
0:39
they're so soft and it kind of just feels like you're wearing slippers all the time and then on the top half I usually wear like a tank head just something really fitted and nice and tight on the
0:46
top and then maybe like a cute jacket but definitely a handbag you can't forget that don't blame me I'd say I have a quintessential look but I don't I don't necessarily know what
0:54
that would be I say a lot of people describe my look as kind of being ugly or like genuine early 2000s style That what I read online I wouldn categorize it as that I say my style was more like mom core Also Africa core which actually I decided I going to make now which isn necessarily like African garments like you expect
1:12
but more so cheetah print animals you'd see in the African safari, where I'm from Kenya
1:16
I love going on a safari and a lot of fur stuff. Faux fur, of course, because we aren't killing animals
1:24
The inspiration behind the Heaven Knows artwork. I just really wanted an animal to be on the cover with me
1:29
At first it was going to be like a cheetah kind of vibe or a leopard. I ended up choosing a dove just because it made more sense with the music that I had on the album
1:36
And plus it was a lot easier to get a dove and I wasn't as scared of the dove as I would have been of like a real life cheetah or lion, to be honest with you
1:44
I'd say in terms of what I can tease about my new music, I feel like I've definitely genre-bended a few times
1:49
Like I love doing drum and bass obviously in a garage, but sometimes I kind of feel like being more pop vibes
1:55
and I feel like I've been very inspired by a lot of the pop girlies at the moment
1:59
especially after meeting Tyler, who's such a queen. I love her so much
2:03
So I feel inspired to make more pop stuff just because I like how it sounds And I don know I kind of just want to try something new and a little bit different I want to satisfy everybody my old fans and my new fans but it going to be somewhere in the middle of my old silent night stuff It
2:17
gonna be like pop vibes. Yeah. I really wanted to be a teacher to be honest with you just because
2:25
like I really enjoy like hanging out with kids. I just enjoy like the company of kids because they
2:30
can just be really funny and I kind of just enjoy how funny they can be without filtering themselves and I still want to get into that so I don't know how long
2:37
I'm gonna be in music but I do want to teach kids at some point we'll see hello no I'm very busy right now I don't go online very much at all so I
2:47
haven't seen that many trends of my music but I have definitely seen some
2:51
edits because people involve me in those edits they'll be me in slow motion and
2:55
being all like sexy and stuff and I don't necessarily strive to be sexy so
2:59
So seeing those edits kind of gives me a confidence boost. I was kind of trying to make my music go viral
3:05
at the very beginning because I really wanted to be a singer And I kind of felt like that was the only way at the time So I kind of hoped it would go viral and I kind of manifested it to go viral So in a way I kind of knew it would go viral That how manifestation works
3:22
I'm so sorry about the neighbors. They love playing rock music at this time of day
3:26
Nothing I can do about it, but hopefully you don't mind it. Who am I calling up to give the first preview
3:32
of my new single? I'd say it would be my manager or my best friend
3:37
because she's very honest and she wouldn't lie to me if the song was really bad. My routine for the perfect night in
3:42
would probably be my laptop and YouTube. Probably the most time that I spend on myself
3:47
is on YouTube watching stupid videos. That's just my truth. And my favorite city in the world is London, of course
3:54
Even though I'm not from there, it's just such a nice place to be. I just love how fast it is, but also how slow it is
3:59
I love the food there. I love my friends who all live there. If you haven't gone, please go
4:04
London's my favorite city. This has been Pantherashq and only the most important stuff happens here
