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.

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.
