Stockholm’s Ängie may boast a physical beauty synonymous with her country, but as a music artist she is far from the typical lighthearted pop songstress. Equipped with a bad girl swagger, the tattooed, marijuana-loving vocalist has already begun to shake things up with her debut single ‘Smoke Weed Eat Pussy’. The rumbling drum & bass meets trap bit is practically an anthem for stoners and cunnilingus connoisseurs, and at the very least, those who simply love a party-starter of a track. Already tipped to be a fire-starter this year, Ängie currently has us lifted in her hazy, smoke-filled aura.
Going straight into your single ‘Smoke Weed Eat Pussy’, aside from what some may consider the obvious, what motivated the track?
Ängie – It’s just a funny story about how I was in my teenage years. When I was experimenting and a bit grossed out by dick.
I read that you were mischievous as a kid, what sort of devious things did you do?
Ängie – Ha. Well me and my big brother were like Beavis & Butthead. You know, stealing the neighbours flowers. Teaching the young kids all the cool cuss words and sort of taking what we wanted.
When did you first begin making music?
Ängie – Maybe 2 years ago. But I didn’t really record anything until I started snapchatting death team from my bathtub.
Whilst Sweden has had a reputation of a spawning polished pop acts, over the past few years there have been artists creating a darker sound. For you, did you know initially that you wanted to come out a bit more edgier than the norm?
Ängie – Fuck the norm! Ha. No, I didn’t really ever compare myself to other Swedish artists. I wanted to make the music I listened to. Snoop, M.I.A, Gwen Stefani … oh, and Kent – but they’re Swedish.
What has been the response from people when you perform the single on stage?
Ängie – A lot of people in the crowd trap dancing. Bucket hats. Eating pussy and smoking weed. Like ancient fucking Rome. Haha.
Clearly you also have a strong sex appeal. With that fact mixed with your outspokenness about certain topics, have there been any misconceptions about you from people?
Ängie – No. They get it!
Are you currently working on an EP or LP and if so what can people expect?
Ängie – Don’t expect anything, I’m a stoner after all! Seriously though, working on a new single and a video for you soon. Puss o kram.
