#NEWMUSIC: PINKPANTHERESS – “ROMEO” VIDEO

Following on from PinkPantheress’ debut TV performance on Jimmy Fallon last week, the British anti-pop star PinkPantheress has released the music video for fan favourite track ‘Romeo’. If you haven’t checked-out her amazing album FANCY THAT, it is magical! Short, and oh so sweet!

Directed by Iris Luz, the music video sees PinkPantheress compete in a tournament against opponent and love interest, Destin Conrad. As the match begins, each move is a blend of strategy, tension and attraction before we see Destin and Pink take on their roles as King and Queen of the chessboard. The pair lead their life-size chess pieces into a high-energy dance-off that builds to a decisive and unforgettable victory for one.

Written and produced by PinkPantheress, Fancy That was created alongside aksel arvid, Count Baldor, phil, Oscar Scheller, The Dare and others, bringing together a collective of creative minds to shape her latest sonic evolution. As she steps into her fun and kitsch-y era, rooted in British culture, the 9-track project showcases her signature vocals and genre-blurring sound. This mixtape marks a new chapter for PinkPantheress as she embraces a new level of intimacy. Fancy That is testament to PinkPantheress’ ear, featuring samples and interpolations from Panic! at the Disco to Jessica Simpson to Basement Jaxx and William Orbit as she seamlessly blends classics and hidden gems with her signature earworm production. The sophomore mixtape features singles ‘Tonight’, ‘Stateside’ and recently released ‘Illegal’.

Speaking on the project PinkPantheress says: “this project is all about feeling the music in your body. I wanted to create something where dance is part of the story. i’m excited to have gotten back to my production roots for this project and i consider this to be my fancy era, very kitsch and colourful. It’s raw, fun, and completely movement-driven and i’m so excited to share it”

June saw PinkPantheress’ debut Glastonbury performance, next month the producer will host a residency at London’s O2 Academy Brixton on 18th and 19th September. PinkPantheress’ sold-out show at Alexandra Palace last year earned glowing reviews, with The Guardian and NME awarding it 4*, while

The Forty-Five praised, “The expectations for a show this size are bound to be high, but Pantheress goes above and beyond to make it one to remember.” The acclaim continued across the North American leg, where Exclaim! hailed her as a “low-key superstar”, and Rolling Stone declared, “A star is born.”
