04:22 Pink Pantheress is definitely one
04:28 of the biggest new artists of the year.
04:30 And if you don't know much about her,
04:32 we give you five things you should know.
04:34 Hi, I'm Pink Pantheress,
04:35 and this is five things that you do not know about me.
04:38 Number one, I am deathly afraid of planes,
04:46 and by that I mean sometimes when I'm mid-flight,
04:49 I consider finding a reason to make the plane
04:53 do an emergency stop, but I realize that if I do that,
04:57 I'll have a criminal investigation against me,
04:59 so I don't end up doing it, but I always have the thought.
05:02 I'm a big gamer, I like playing video games.
05:05 I'm actually weirdly good at Fortnite.
05:08 I'm not proud of it, but I play for fun,
05:10 and then I accidentally got good.
05:12 Number three, I have a very good nose,
05:14 i.e. I can smell things from super far,
05:17 and I can smell things and identify them
05:19 as soon as I smell it.
05:20 I kind of feel like the rat from Ratatouille sometimes.
05:23 Number four, I am half Kenyan.
05:26 I always feel like I need to let people know where I'm from
05:28 because I'm super proud of my ancestry and my heritage,
05:32 specifically Mombasa.
05:34 So, rep, peace Africa.
05:36 Number five is that I have two singing voices.
05:39 If you listen to my music,
05:40 you can hear that the voice I use is super light and airy,
05:44 and quite high-pitched, but my other singing voice,
05:46 which is the one that I grew up with
05:48 when I was singing other styles of music,
05:50 is actually a lot deeper, a little bit more soulful,
05:54 and a bit more heavy, so double-sided.
05:56 I've got layers to me.
05:59 - We love a game here at Billboard,
06:00 and when we caught up with Edgar Barrera,
06:02 we played a little This or That.
06:04 (speaking in foreign language)
06:08 (upbeat music)
06:11 (upbeat music)
06:14 (speaking in foreign language)
06:18 (speaking in foreign language)

06:26 (upbeat music)
06:54 - That's it for today.
06:56 Make sure you come back tomorrow
06:57 for our interview with Oliver Tree.
06:59 It's an interesting one.
07:00 I'm Tetris Kelly, and this is Billboard News.
