PinkPantheress Drops ‘Fancy That': Stream It Now
PinkPantheress is officially back with her new nine-track mixtape Fancy That, out today (May 9) via Parlophone and Warner Records, marking her first full-length project since 2021's breakout To Hell With It. The release comes after a several-month break from the spotlight. In August 2024, the 24-year-old British artist, born Victoria Walker, canceled all remaining tour dates, including festival appearances and high-profile support slots with Olivia Rodrigo and Coldplay, to focus on her physical health.

It's No Secret: Gracie Abrams Hits Three Non-Consecutive Weeks at ARIA No. 1 Motörhead to Mark 50th Anniversary With Release of 'Lost' 1976 Album 'It is with the heaviest heart that I will not be able to continue with the rest of my live shows this year,' she told fans at the time. 'It appears I have reached a wall which I am struggling to penetrate through.' Now, PinkPantheress says taking that time away was necessary for her well-being, despite pressure to push through. 'Really the least of my concerns was the money,' she told Apple Music's Zane Lowe. 'There was something that I needed to address and so I had to leave… But obviously, what goes around comes around, and I'll be back again.' That moment of pause, including what she called a turning point when she impulsively cut her hair, ultimately helped set the stage for Fancy That, which finds the singer leaning further into her experimental pop-meets-club sound. It comes following last month's release of the single 'Stateside', which arrived three weeks after 'Tonight,' the lead single from Fancy That. The club anthem, which samples Panic! At the Disco's 2008 track 'Do You Know What I'm Seeing?,' hit No. 5 on Hot Dance/Pop Songs and No. 25 on Bubbling Under Hot 100. She joked that Doechii 'chewed' her up when performing the 'Tonight' dance backstage at H&M's inaugural music festival in Los Angeles in April. Fancy That is now available to stream across all major platforms.
