6 - Perrie Edwards
Karen Smith
Hello babe! Sorry, I'm a little late. #KarensWeatherUpdate was all wrong today and I'm so confused, babe. Anyway, how are you?
Perrie Edwards
No problem, babe. I'm fantastic, thank you!
Karen Smith
Billboard tells me that you've released a song called 'Ready Steady Go', and the single cover is pink. Tell me how you came up with the song?
Perrie Edwards
Yes, I love pink and not only on Wednesdays. The song is about embracing a new chapter in your life. Basically, the inspiration was the beginning of my solo career, and this is the reason I chose it as my debut single.
Karen Smith
Wow. I didn't know we were part of a book! Billboard also tells me that you've booked some collaborations already! As a new artist, how did this come about, babe?
Perrie Edwards
I was pleasantly surprised when I saw some artists being interested in working with me. I must say they happened organically despite being a fairly new artist.
Karen Smith
You have collaborations with Adam Lavigne and Dannii Minogue. What do you think about them as artists?
Perrie Edwards
Are these their names? I don't remember to be quite honest… I'm more familiar with Adam's work because he's been active for more years, and of course, the fact that radio is shoving his music down our throats. He definitely has a unique approach with his art.
Karen Smith
And how about personally, babe? Are you close friends with them now?
Perrie Edwards
As close as you can be with your pet, I guess. With Kylie, We just started hanging out so we are still in the process. By the way, I forgot to say that I love her visuals; actually, both of them.
Karen Smith
I love Christina's album too! What about us? Are we friends, babe?
Perrie Edwards
I think I'm the one that should've asked this question.
Karen Smith
Oh! Uh… do you want the microphone?
Perrie Edwards
No, it’s fine, babe!
Karen Smith
Okay! So, when are we going out together then babe? They tell me you have lots of fun with some wine drinkers. When can we go out?
Perrie Edwards
Oh, the wine squad. They are my girls! Any time babe – or actually, any time after the Label Fest. I can't drink cause I'm on a diet!
Karen Smith
Yeah, I think it's the best for you babe! Actually, I can't go out either! I'm sick.
Speaking of the Label Fest, what are your plans for your performance?
Perrie Edwards
I was actually doing my first rehearsal before this interview and I must confess it was pretty weird. Because it was my first rehearsal after Little Mix parted ways. I'm still not used to being solo. The feeling will wear off with time, I presume. Now regarding my performance, there will be a dance routine, leather and flashy costumes!
Karen Smith
Your ex-band mates were such nice girls. Ally Brooke was the best!
Now, the Label Fest has something to do with labels but I'm not sure what. Anyway, the main three right now are ABC Records, Intersex Records and Czech Republic Records; which one are you hoping to join?
Perrie Edwards
My main goal is to get signed. I haven't thought of my preference yet. I will be lucky to be a part of any label regardless.
Karen Smith
Oh yeah, of course! Hopefully your luck gets better then, babe! Tell us about some plans for your music in the future.
Perrie Edwards
Not gonna lie, I'm mostly clueless when it comes to upcoming plans. It's my manager who handles those things. Although there is something I know, and I would love to share with you and your readers! If you follow me on social media, you might have noticed there is a little countdown, that I've been doing for 2 days. It has to do with a new music release! Tomorrow my first promo single will be up for release with a pre order of my debut album which will have my name - in other words it will be self-titled. And for those who are occasionally confused on how to spell my name, it's 'Perrie Edwards'!
Karen Smith
Oh, wow! That’s exciting. Perhaps, less exciting, I have an interview with the gay one from One Direction coming up, so I don't have much time left babe. Have you time for a quick game?
Perrie Edwards
I’m ready!
Karen Smith
The game is called Most Likely To. Billboard have told me it’s easy to work with. All you have to do is answer my questions with the person you think of immediately!
Perrie Edwards
Ooh, I love this game!
Karen Smith
Question One: Wait… it crashed!
Wait! It’s back!
Wait! It’s gone again! Help!
Perrie Edwards
Did Adam’s fat-ass sit on it?
Karen Smith
Ooh, wait! I think I have it now!
Question One: "Who's most likely to be a bad parent?"
Perrie Edwards
Shawn because he’s still a baby! My 2nd choice would be Miss Hart too; do her kids even get to see her? Actually, make P!nk my first choice!
Karen Smith
Question Two: "Who’s most likely to pressure a friend to break up?"
Perrie Edwards
Taylor Swift; so, she can date them instead!
Karen Smith
Question Three: "Who’s most likely to be broke in 10 years?"
Perrie Edwards
Adam. I wonder how he finances his eras despite having no income…
Karen Smith
Question Four: "Who’s most likely to injure themselves with a firework?"
Perrie Edwards
Kylie probably. She would confuse it with one of her gay fans and go in for a hug!
Karen Smith
Question Five: "Who’s most likely to have the biggest bush?"
Perrie Edwards
Not sure if I should call her out, but Xtina, gurl…
Karen Smith
Very interesting answers you gave me, babe! Thank you for this interview. Good luck with your diet and your career babe. See ya!
