The album features nine hyper and reflective tracks that follow the narrative of a night out. 

The artist’s previous music had an engaging sense of nostalgia and Y2K influence with hit tracks ‘Boy’s A Liar Pt. 2’ featuring Ice Spice, which peaked at number 2 on the Official UK Singles Chart, and the bubbly hard-hitter ‘I Must Apologise’ from her 2021 album ‘To Hell With It’. Though, the artist teased a new era with cryptic social media posts and a teaser trailer for the upcoming album. 

The album begins with the hypnotic single ‘Illegal’ where Pantheress meets the love interest that runs through the album with a relatable storytelling aspect that marks the artist’s new musical era. An accompanying music video was shared with the album release.

Though Pantheress has embarked on a new era in her music, the music video still features her classic Y2K aesthetic and a nostalgic editing style. In the artist’s album announcement on Instagram, she explained her creative influence, stating that this was “a complete archive of how i’ve been experimenting and feeling free to use some of my favourite british influences in my current music.”

The story of the album reflects in the bouncy dance beat of tracks like ‘Tonight’ and ‘Stars’, which blend together seamlessly with sampling from 2007 hit classic ‘Starz In Their Eyes’ by Just Jack and ‘Oh My Gosh’ by Basement Jaxx. Pantheress is known for her use of sampling throughout her discography, claiming the name of Billboard’s 2024 Women in Music Producer of the Year.

In an interview with Billboard, Pantheress explained her relationship with sampling from the start of her career, sharing that initially the sample would take over the track, but since then  she states, “I’m adding more instrumentation so it’s more hidden, whereas before it would kind of just be the actual track itself.”

The album also features one of the most highly anticipated songs ‘Tonight’, which the artist has teased for several months on social media. Further to this, the song has been viral on TikTok following the artist’s creation of a dance trend for the track, which she brought several exciting names to do with her such as Jazz pop singer Laufey and popular YouTuber Quenlin Blackwell.   

@pinkpantheress atp its a challenge for me LMAOOOO @quenblackwell #newmusic ♬ Tonight – PinkPantheress

‘Fancy That’ comes after a long break from Pantheress. The singer was set to embark on a series of tours in 2024, but cancelled her remaining tours from August due to health issues. Her return is widely welcomed by fans with her recent release and The Capable of Love tour which she concluded in April. 

She posted the project’s tracklist after interacting with fans – one asked her to release the track ‘Romeo’, which was teased on TikTok last year. She then wrote: “Posting da tracklist early just to let you all know that it’s track NINE.”

The ‘Fancy That’ tracklist is full of other new songs, including the previously teased ‘Tonight’, her recently released bouncy new single that was accompanied by a Bridgerton-inspired music video. The clip features horse-drawn carriages, penny farthings and Pinkpantheress and her friends dressed in 1800’s regency outfits. The song also samples a deep cut from Panic! At The Disco’s 2008 album ‘Pretty. Odd’, called ‘Do You Know What I’m Seeing?’.

The Kent-born singer recently told Mixmag that she was inspired by the sounds of Fatboy Slim and Groove Armada while making this new tape: “I loved the size of the music,” she says. “All the music sounds so big and grand and present, and I really wanted to make music where it sounds like a statement is being made with the songs. I feel like that was what appealed to me, and it’s something that I wanted to take on board.”

She also reflected on the reception of her first two projects, her first mixtape ‘To Hell With It’ in 2021, and her debut album ‘Heaven Knows’ in 2023. “My first project was more gritty and DIY so had a much younger fanbase who liked that, whereas my album was more appreciated by proper music nerds who appreciated the cleanliness or mixing. It was cool to see that versatility. But I always love the grittiness and the DIY, and for this upcoming project I asked the mixers to not make it too clean because I like the way my voice sounds when it’s not too polished.”

The tracklist for Pinkpantheress’ ‘Fancy That’ is as follows: 

1. ‘Illegal’

2. ‘Girl Like Me’

3. ‘Tonight’

4. ‘Stars’

5. ‘Intermission’

6. ‘Noises’

7. ‘Nice To Know You’

8. ‘Stateside’

9. ‘Romeo’

Last week, Pinkpantheress was announced to be playing at Glastonbury 2025. You can see our latest writeup on the festival’s lineup here.

In a TikTok last night, British alt-pop singer songwriter PinkPantheress posted a snippet of an unreleased new song. The artist pushes back against comments she’s received about her dance skills in live concert performances. Most of the singer’s concerts have consisted of ‘no choreography, background dancers, or pyrotechnics’, though from this post, she seems to be changing this. She explains in an interview with THE CUT magazine that her lack of theatrics in live performances is due to how she describes herself as an artist: “I can’t perform like a pop artist. I can’t sing like a pop artist. I don’t have the style or the media training to be a pop artist,”. This is apparent from her initial rise to stardom on TikTok where she changed the game for bedroom pop artists.

In her recent TikTok, the artist states, “I had to learn how to dance to beat the no stage presence allegations”, while showcasing her fresh new choreography with soft, precise dance moves that will surely go viral on the app. The sound used also reveals a snippet of a new yet-to-be-named song, though it has a dance beat and soft hyperpop club feel which has left fans anticipating more.

@pinkpantheress i had to learn bow to dance to beat the no stage precense allegatiions and i dont know if jts gonna work tho #newmusic ♬ original sound –

On her YouTube channel, PinkPantheress also posted an Official Mixtape Trailer. In this fun promotional teaser, there are several actors donning her iconic sleek straight haircut and forward fringe. The singer photographs them and a snippet of a song plays, which sounds reminiscent of her hit collaborative single ‘Boy’s a liar Pt. 2′ with Ice Spice.  The version of this that features in her Mixtape Trailer is remixed to have the familiar sound of a 2000’s ringtone, another link to the sound of her new music considering her connection to Y2k aesthetics.

The pop pioneering artist, known for the short length of her songs, with songs such as ‘I must Apologies’, from her album ‘Heaven knows’ being only 1,47 minutes long, releases this Mixtape Trailer of 0.38 minutes. In a TikTok posted by a fan, many have joked in the comments that the trailer will be longer than any of the songs yet to be released.

@journeyseditss OH IM SO SAT #pinkpantheress

According to Dork the producer’s new project marks a departure from the usual pop-oriented sound and a move towards something darker and more club oriented. According to Rolling Stone when discussing the new album in a statement Mura Masa said: “Curve 1 is ultimately a manifestation of an attitude I’ve been cultivating in my personal life; ignore everything. All the content, all of the attention economy, all of it. In doing that, the really meaningful and vital parts of what’s around you make themselves known and unignorable, demanding your energy.”

‘Curve 1′ is set to be Mura Masa’s first release as an independent artist via his own record label and he said that he “wanted it to be as free and anti-narrative as possible. Impressionistic.” He continued saying that “Music as entertainment has in many cases, to me, become very advertorial and excessively sentimental in terms of creating narrative around albums and artists. I wanted to strip this away as much as possible to leave room for the music to create its own meaning in the lives of people who form connections with it.”

It’s hard for me not to explain away the intricacies and ideas contained within these records after having theorised and tolled and executed them over the course of nearly three years, but I think it’s far more fitting of the album’s intent to say simply: listen to it in the dark.”

Leading up to this announcement of a new album Crossan has released a number of new singles including ‘Still’ back in March which saw British pop hero Griff provide vocals. He’s also released ‘We Are Making Out’ which saw him collaborate with yeule and he shared singles ‘rise/gimme’, ‘Drugs’, and ‘Whenever I Want’.

He also helped co-write and produce a number of songs for other artists in recent years as well as his own music. Including producing global hit ‘Boy’s a Liar pt.2′ by Ice Spice and Pink Pantheress as well as co-writing the latter’s single ‘Turn It Up’. He’s also recently opened a creative hub in Peckham, London called The Pond which is officially supposed to launch next year.

Elsewhere Mura Masa is set to be playing a DJ set at Field Day 2024 in Victoria Park, London next month. Justice and Pink Pantheress will be headlining this year’s event.

Miley Cyrus led the way with her hit single “Flowers,” spending ten weeks at No 1. Other talented artists such as Dua Lipa, Ellie Goulding, Kenya Grace, Raye, Billie Eilish, Doja Cat, Olivia Rodrigo, and Taylor Swift also enjoyed time at the top spot.

In fact, Goulding, Cyrus, Swift, Raye, SZA, PinkPantheress, and Libianca dominated seven out of the top 10 most popular tracks of the year. This achievement is the highest number of female-led tracks in the history of the Official Singles Chart, which spans over 70 years.

Goulding’s collaboration with Calvin Harris, “Miracle,” was particularly notable, and the rest of the top 10 featured artists like Dave, Central Cee, and Rema.

Dr Jo Twist, the chief executive of BPI, expressed her delight at this significant shift but also stressed the importance of not becoming complacent. She emphasised the need for continued efforts in the music industry, she said,“Our work in the music industry continues to ensure that this becomes the norm.” 

Furthermore, an impressive 48.5% of all songs that reached the Top 10 this year were either solo efforts or collaborations by female artists. This represents the highest annual share of Top 10 hits by female musicians in this century.

In 2023, the British music industry saw its ninth consecutive year of growth, with album sales and streams increasing by 10% to a total of 182.8 million. Streaming reached a record high with 179.6 billion audio streams, a 12.8% increase from the previous year. However, no new releases achieved platinum status, indicating a“crisis” in the industry according to music writer Patrick Clifton. He added,“A new generation of artists is not building fanbases that will buy gig and festival tickets in two, five, or 10-years’ time, and is not popularising songs that will have ubiquity in our culture once this generation of music fans reaches old age. The artists who succeed, he argued, are those who are able to cultivate a “two-way” relationship with fans on social media, and “don’t mind revisiting songs from their repertoire if those songs blow up”.

Vinyl records sales reached a remarkable milestone, surpassing 6 million units, marking the highest total since 1990. Additionally, CD sales remained strong with a staggering 10 million albums sold. Furthermore, cassette sales maintained their steady performance, exceeding 100,000 units for the fourth consecutive year.

However, it is undeniable that streaming has become the dominant force in the UK’s music landscape. Accounting for a remarkable 87.7% of the market share, streaming has experienced a substantial growth compared to 63.6% five years ago.

Sealing last year’s number one spot was none other than Miley Cyrus with her smash hit “Flowers”, which spent an incredible 10 weeks at the top of the Official UK Singles chart. “Flowers” was the lead single from Cyrus’ eighth studio-album Endless Summer Vacation, and went on to accumulate 198 million combined audio and video streams in the UK in 2023, making it the most-streamed song of the year. The 31-year-old’s single also went on to be the most-downloaded song of the year, with 91,000 UK downloads.

Joining Miley in a 10-week long reign at the number one spot were British rappers Dave and Central Cee with their single “Sprinter”. The track was a smash hit as it broke UK chart records as it clinched the biggest streaming week for any rap song in Official Chart history, and also claimed the title of the longest-running rap Number 1 in the UK. Since its release, the team duo have racked up 161 million UK audio and video streams, landing them the number two spot on the top songs of 2023.

The track claiming the number three spot in this list was originally the first Official Number One Single of 2023. When RAYE and 070 Shake’s track “Escapism” soared to number one, RAYE told Official Charts: “We are Number 1 in the UK! It’s the first Number 1 of the year, it’s my first Number 1 in my life. I’m an independent artist, this is sickening! This is proof you should back yourself, no matter what. Thank you, this is mad. These are happy tears!” 

Completing 2023’s top five was Taylor Swift’s resilient 2022 hit “Anti-Hero”, and collaboration trance track “Miracle” from Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding. Celebrating the success of the latter, Goulding told Official Charts: “This is just very cool. Thank you very much to everyone for listening to it and supporting it, Oontz, oontz…rave on!” 

The Official top 10 songs of 2023:

1. “Flowers” – Miley Cyrus
2. “Sprinter” – Dave & Central Cee
3. “Escapism” – RAYE feat. 070 Shake
4. “Anti-Hero” – Taylor Swift
5. “Miracle” – Calvin Harris & Ellie Goulding
6. “Calm Down” – Rema
7. “Kill Bill” – SZA
8. “Boy’s A Liar” – PinkPantheress
9. “As It Was” – Harry Styles
10. “People” Libianca

Prior to release, PinkPantheress shared three singles: “Mosquito,”, “Capable of love” and “Boy’s a liar Pt. 2” with Bronx rapper Ice Spice, the cutesy summer bop that vaulted up the charts earlier this year. While all three tracks maintained the signature glossy early-2000s club sound that had catapulted the singer to fame, they also unmistakably hinted at a new chapter in the artist’s musical journey.

Listen to “Capable Of Love” below:

Indeed, on Heaven Knows, much of the new material feels more mature and complete. PinkPantheress, a homemade superstar who initially rose to fame with viral internet pop bites that clocked in at under two minutes to appeal to the short-form media zeitgeist, largely dispenses of her original approach on this new record.

In an interview with NME earlier this year, the singer had expressed a desire to make “a shift towards other styles of music” – a vision that has now materialised on Heaven Knows. Here, PinkPantheress reveals the depth of her artistic versatility, flexing her abilities as a writer, producer, and expert curator of guest spots.

The long-awaited 13-track project sees the Bath-born artist enlist a crew of both familiar and new collaborators on writing and production duties, including two-time Grammy producer of the year Greg Kurstin, Caroline Polacheck producer Danny L. Harle and “Boy’s a Liar” co-writer Mura Masa, whose contributions as an additional producer are manifest on most songs.

Listen to “Boy’s a liar Pt. 2”, co-written by Mura Masa and featuring rapper Ice Spice, below:

Upon announcing her debut LP in October, PinkPantheress explained:

“This album is an accumulation of music I’ve made over the last two years, with some beloved tunes that might sound familiar and some cutie features who I can’t wait to announce. I love everyone here, I cried the other day thinking of how lucky I am to have people willing to listen to me, you are never taken in vain.” 

A press release further revealed that Heaven Knows is about “grief for a loss, but being at peace with yourself in your aloneness. Journeying from hell into purgatory, but I’m OK with being there.”

The star, who revealed the album artwork, captioned the post: “What an intense insane moment! My first album is coming out and you know I love a pun, so it’s called “heaven knows”, out on November10th. This album is an accumulation of music I’ve made over the last two years, with some beloved tunes that might sound familiar and some cutie features who I can’t wait to announce. I love everyone here; I cried the other day thinking of how lucky I am to have people willing to listen to me. You are never taken in vain. to my fan pages, I love you, you’re always there for me and I will never forget about how safe you make me feel. It’s been a long time comin from pain to capable of love. I hope you love each song you hear from me!”  

The “Just for me” singer also announced that she will be going on the road to promote her first studio album. The tour, titled The Capable of Love, will see the star heading to Ireland, France, Amsterdam, Germany and the UK – although this could increase judging by the warm reception.

Fans of the star shared their excitement over the news. One person wrote: “already a classic”, whilst another person said: “I literally woke up from a dream where you announced you were going on tour!” 

Her US audience were also in the comment section and pleaded with the star to perform in the States. One fan wrote: “I hope you do a tour in America too”, meanwhile someone else commented: “YOU HATE ME SO MUCH DO A SOLO TOUR IN THE US!” 

Fans of the singer can get early access to tour tickets by pre-ordering her new album here.

Pinkpantheress has certainly had a successful year thus far. The “Angel” singer was featured on the Barbie Movie soundtrack, performed at Wireless Festival alongside collaborator Ice Spice and was recently nominated for multiple MTV EMA Awards. The ceremony, which takes place next month, will see the star compete for the categories Best UK & Ireland Act, Best Collaboration and Best New Artist.

Listen to “Mosquito”, the newest track from the star.
