Music Review: PinkPantheress' club pop mixtape ‘Fancy That' is a lighthearted level up
For the curious and ultra-trendy, Charli xcx's neon, vomit green party banger 'BRAT ' was more than an album; it inspired the cultural moment of 'BRAT summer.' While internet-pop sensation PinkPantheress' style is quite different, it seems her sophomore mixtape is coming out just in time for a 'Fancy That' season of her own. Gen Z immediately flocked to 24-year-old British singer-songwriter PinkPantheress' 'Fancy That' singles on TikTok, the platform on which she's come up significantly in the last few years, with earlier hits like the U.K. garage 'Break it Off' and 'Boy's a Liar PT. 2,' featuring New York rapper Ice Spice. A producer first and foremost, PinkPantheress launched with those viral songs — her sweet soprano carrying addictive choruses that resonate with the very online. Across 'Fancy That,' with grounded but baby-soft vocals, PinkPantheress' signature sound is reminiscent of '90s British electronic music as pulsing club beats layer over dreamy synths, melding U.K. garage with bedroom hyperpop. The mixtape is a leveling up for a young artist indulging in the flirty fun of liking someone whom you shouldn't. That's clear from the strong opener 'Illegal,' with its bold synths and bolder lyrics. 'My name is Pink and I'm really glad to meet you / You're recommended to me by some people / Hey, ouuuuu, is this illegal?' she sings. Despite the throes of forbidden, complicated or even unrequited love, there's a lightheartedness to her new tracks, and listeners won't find a single sappy ballad across the album. It's an on-and-off romance, as she puts her foot down in next track, the fun and layered 'Girl Like Me.' 'I'm not a fan of the way we're moving,' she sings. 'No explanation for why we do this.' She explores themes of infatuation and obsession in energetic album highlights 'Tonight' and 'Stateside,' pining after famous musicians and American boys. Both feature catchy and bouncy production, a simple choice but oh so danceable. 'Never met a British girl, you say? No one treats me this way / Are all boys out here the same?' she teases in the latter. The final dance track 'Romeo' is a whirlwind of violins, evoking the feeling of butterflies in the stomach or racing pulses. Only nine songs long, 'Fancy That' is fun, uncomplicated and anything but overdone. It's a successful step forward for the rising artist.

PinkPantheress Previews New Mixtape With Single ‘Tonight'
PinkPantheress British singer PinkPantheress is gearing up for the release of her next mixtape with the new single 'Tonight.' The song is animated by a sample of Panic! at the Disco's 2008 song 'Do You Know What I'm Seeing?", a creative choice that she alluded to back in 2021. "The beat might be drum 'n' bass, but the writing style might be something you'd hear in a hyperpop song, or early '00s Paramore or Panic! at the Disco,' she told Crack magazine at the time of her sonic curation process. 'I'm picking my favorite musical attributes from certain genres, bands, and artists, and combining them.' 'I leave my bedroom with my posters of you up / I do this all because you're my superstar / I look at you and I wonder why its so complicated / You're talking out to a crowd of people who thought you hated / Your friends will tell me you're too scared of coming up / But tonight, why is it all emotional to me?' she sings on the new track. 'You want sex with me / Come talk to me / Talk later, that's why I'm goin' tonight / You're hot, on fire, that's why I'm callin' tonight / Talk later, that's why I'm goin' tonight / You're sex on fire, that's why I like goin' tonight.' Carving her own musical lane in an industry so determined to squeeze her into a box has been a challenge, but PinkPantheress isn't one to let outside voices get to her. 'A lot of my career has been people telling me their perception of me rather than me saying who I am,' she told Mixmag this week. 'Being a 'popstar' or being in the public eye can definitely make you lose yourself. I am somebody who knows myself down to the bone but I'm telling you, being a singer makes it so easy to think about what people think or want to hear and it makes you lose elements of your beginnings.' PinkPantheress' next project is out May 9.
