Winnie is well used to the spotlight – from performing in London bars to outdoor music festivals – but singing in an alien language brought a whole new world of challenges. <\/p>\n
Her character performs her original song in an alien bar in space, when Supergirl visits the planet of Bilquis. <\/p>\n
‘What are we’ is the first song Winnie released as a solo artist in 2020, and an alien language specialist was hired to help her translate it into the Bilquis language. <\/p>\n
“We went through each word and each syllable to make sure that the pronunciation was perfect for Bilquis,” she said.<\/p>\n
“He told me about the structure and the origins of the language that he created, which was so cool, because he’s the guy who created other alien languages like [Star Trek’s] Klingon. <\/p>\n
“Being a Bilquis alien was so much fun, I’ve always wanted to be an alien.”<\/p>\n
She said during filming in Warner Bros. Studios in Leavesden England, she woke up at 4am, they would pick her up and take her to get her Bilquis costume on. <\/p>\n
“The hair, the make up, everything was applied by hand and it took about four hours – and at the end of the day they would scrub me down.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Winnie is well used to the spotlight – from performing in London bars to outdoor music festivals –…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":704869,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[96,2839,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-704868","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/704868","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=704868"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/704868\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/704869"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=704868"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=704868"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=704868"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
