New offering from PinkPantheress: Mixtape titled 'Fancy That'
In a whirlwind rise through the pop music scene, the brash British sensation PinkPantheress has stormed into the upper echelons of the Billboard Hot 100, unleashing a trail of chart-topping hits and projects—from her explosive 2021 mixtape To Hell With It to her electrifying 2023 debut album, Heaven Knows. In her latest offering, her sophomore mixtape Fancy That, this "Boy's a Liar" singer weaves new influences into her distinctive bedroom pop sound, never wavering from her mission to forge her own path amid an industry hungry to pigeonhole her.
Taste of the future was served last month with the release of lead single "Tonight," which absolutely tore up the Hot 100, landing within the top 40. On Fancy That, PinkPantheress dives into the thrilling highs and tormenting lows of romance, with infectious tracks like "Girl Like Me" and "Nice to Know You" alongside more upbeat party starters like "Noises" and "Romeo." Even paying homage to her roots on "Stars," sampling Just Jack's 2007 release "Starz in Their Eyes," just like she did on her smash hit "Attracted to You."
To truly bring the party to life, PinkPantheress drew inspiration from the giants of yesteryear—the high-energy, larger-than-life stars of classic British dance and electronic acts like Basement Jaxx, Groove Armada, and the legendary Fatboy Slim. Explaining her fascination with these artists, PinkPantheress told Mixmag, "I loved the size of the music. 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."

As for her identity in the music world, a trailblazer with an unmistakable sound and take on stardom, PinkPantheress refuses to buckle under external pressures. "A lot of my career has been about people telling me their perception of me rather than me saying who I am," she admitted. "Being a 'popstar' or being in the public eye can definitely make you lose yourself. I am somebody who knows myself entirely, but I'm telling you, being a singer makes it so easy to get lost in what people think or want to hear, losing critical aspects of your beginnings."
