When PinkPantheress sat down with Coveteur for their "Unplugged" series interview, she spoke openly about one of her earliest inspirations: Kelela. The UK-born electronic / alt-pop singer, known for her alien voice and genre-defying textures, explained that Kelela was the first woman of color she saw in electronic music who felt authentic. The instant the quote dropped "She's East African too, makes electronic music, is true to herself.". She was held back by what she thought was possible for a Black woman in electronic music prior to venturing into her work. By naming Kelela not just for her music but for herself, she highlights the amount of representation within electronic music especially for those who have been made invisible.
