00:00Do you have anything that you're listening to that's like maybe a guilty pleasure?
00:03Yeah, I don't know if anything would surprise people.
00:05I'd say like, I love Justin Bieber's My World 2.0.
00:08I listen to that actually a lot, but even then I don't think that's what I can say.
00:12Hi, this is Rolling Stone. We're here with...
00:14Pink Pantheress.
00:15Can you shuffle your music library?
00:17Yes, I can.
00:18How do I press shuffle on this?
00:19My playlist is actually a little bit of fuckery.
00:21Okay, Work by Rihanna.
00:23And Drake, yeah.
00:24I remember every party I went to back then, it was anti or it was just anything that Drake had just released.
00:34So it was that and then it was, I need a one name.
00:37You could not escape.
00:38You couldn't leave the house without hearing that song.
00:40You couldn't leave the house.
00:42So this is Vows by Nox.
00:49Nox is a British artist.
00:51I recommend, babe.
00:52I recommend Nox.
00:53I haven't heard it.
00:54I feel like a lot of Americans aren't tapped in too much with like, UK rappers.
00:58If you had to put on sort of a music festival of UK rappers in America,
01:02what would the three headliners be?
01:04Oh, my personal taste.
01:06I know this is a hard one, but...
01:07It is.
01:08Well, definitely Skepto.
01:13I'm actually a really big Dblock Europe fan.
01:16And then who else?
01:17Oh, girl.
01:18I'd say it would be between Central and C.
01:23And then Pot of Paper.
01:26If anyone knows who that is.
01:27I stayed on the station on the floor in the band all my boys.
01:30Shout without your baby mother's had a change in my coins.
01:32Y'all don't know about him.
01:34Let me press.
01:35Okay, so let's see what happens.
01:37So, okay.
01:38This is Davido and the song is Fall.
01:39I'm in love with you.
01:41I'm in love with you.
01:43Baby, nothing gonna be to you.
01:45I'm African and I'm from the UK.
01:47So, there's like a five song rotation of songs that basically all Africans know
01:51in like the UK.
01:52And this one, I think, is one of them personally.
01:54That's a function one.
01:55Or like a wedding, specifically like an African wedding.
01:59The reception.
02:00And then that song comes on.
02:02And that is a drunk song.
02:03This one is Kei Trenada featuring Thundercat.
02:06And it's called Be Careful.
02:11This is really actually such a good song.
02:14Okay, it's just reminded me how good it is.
02:15I'm the biggest Kei Trenada fan.
02:17When I was first making music and like producing,
02:19I'd listen to him a lot just to try and imitate that style.
02:22Totally.
02:22I think what makes him so good is because his skills are very much limited to basically
02:26him and him only, which is why you can't find many people that replicate his sound very well.
02:31Like he's so incredible to me.
02:32Okay, this is Wild Side by Normani and Cardi B.
02:36I was listening to Aaliyah the other day.
02:42And I need to remind myself of what song it was.
02:44But I realized this song.
02:46I'm such a nerd for this shit.
02:49But like I realized that the drums were interpolated from an Aaliyah song.
02:57My producer brain went off and I was like, okay, this is a stroke of genius.
03:00Because I think Wild Side is a genius dark R&B song.
03:04Love her voice on it.
03:05Love the rap verse.
03:07Great R&B.
03:08Love it.
03:08Love it so much.
03:09I'm curious what song you think people should be putting on their playlists.
03:13I'm gonna give two songs right now if that's okay.
03:15Mm-hmm.
03:16You guys need to add this song, Delirious by Vistoso Bosses.
03:26This is culture in a song.
03:27This is like ahead of their time music.
03:29This song is insane.
03:30The melodies are insane.
03:31And when I listened to it, because I listened to it actually quite recently for the first time,
03:35I was like, oh my god, it kind of sounds like I dipped my self in their nachos.
03:39I didn't because I hadn't heard that song.
03:41Another song for your playlist, Stateside by me.
03:51It's my favorite song off of my new mixtape.
03:53And that was produced by Mr. The Dare.
03:56It was produced by The Dare and me.
03:58We worked in New York when I was here, about a year ago actually I reckon.
04:02When we were in that studio, he knew exactly what to do.
04:04He just did it.
04:05You know, I didn't even need to tell him what to do.
04:07Then I came in, I did the chords and the synths.
04:09When you were creating the mixtape, Fancy That, who did you have in mind?
04:13Like what rooms were you thinking of?
04:15Whenever I make music, I always imagine the listener to look like me.
04:18So when I say that, I mean girlies my age, East African girls.
04:23I'm imagining it's for them.
04:2450% of my fans I'd say are K-pop fans who are also East African.
04:29For me, it's, you know, and it's pretty much any venue that will have me.
04:33You know, I'm just honored to be played by anyone, to be honest.
04:36Speaking of your album, Fancy That, would you mind playing a little game called
04:39Fancy This or Fancy That, London or New York nightlife?
04:42What's better is New York nightlife, but what I fancy is London.
04:47Conventional spacious bag or small purse?
04:50Small purse.
04:50Demos or the finished product?
04:53Oh, that's very controversial.
04:54I will always prefer a finished version over a demo.
04:59This video would spend 18, 2022 with Mr.
05:08Fancy Thatırım 9, 2020 or November.
05:09theory해�a more or only recent actions.
05:10If I had aunuz, Oh, pity forded 29, 2019.
05:12It was great of money for the future.
05:14I will always prefer a trading team.
05:15I will always prefer a trading team.
05:17What is that eh?
05:18Like I told you guys?
05:20Like I told you.
