Hear the singer’s new song, “Voices.”
Precious Pepala has a voice that’ll stop you in your tracks — at least, that’s what it did to the over 2.3 million people who watched her belt out Alec Benjamin’s “Water Fountain” in a 2021 cover that went viral on TikTok. The 17-year-old U.K.-based musician has since shown her vocal talents extend to her own original music, too.
Below, we caught up with the rising songwriter over a recent Zoom to learn more about “Voices,” her musical roots, and why she hopes one day to share a stage with Harry Styles.“Voices” is a song that surprisingly, when it was written, I was in a really good place. It contrasted with the dark nature of the lyrics.
The songs you've already released, “My Eyes Only” and “Looking For Trouble,” breach darker topics. Is resonating with people, or having your songs be a source of comfort, something that is important to you when writing music? Definitely. When I first started writing music with Jordan, who's my kind of co-writer, producer, and all that stuff, we went into it with the intention of wanting the music to be universally relatable. Even if it's about something that I've personally experienced, we always try to make the lyrics either specific enough where someone will be able to see me in that scenario, someone else in that scenario, or be able to just relate to it from personal experience.
