Review
PinkPantheress's debut mixtape, "to hell with it," dropped in 2021 and it’s an electric blend of dance-pop, liquid drum and bass, and UK garage that oozes early 2000s nostalgia. The mixtape captures sentiments of failed relationships, adolescence, and longing, delivering a raw, relatable narrative that's impossible to ignore. Tracks like "Pain" and "Break It Off" are pure bops with catchy, upbeat vibes, while "I Must Apologise" and "Nineteen" serve up storytelling and emotional depth that’ll make you hit replay.
The production here is on another level, seamlessly fusing classic UK garage samples with the freshness of bedroom pop and hyperpop. Critics couldn’t get enough, and neither could the charts—debuting at number 20 on the UK Albums Chart and making its way to year-end lists from *Billboard* to *Rolling Stone*. The release of "To Hell With It (Remixes)" featuring the likes of Anz, Powfu, and Flume only solidified its impact. PinkPantheress doesn’t just make music; she crafts an experience that’s as infectious as it is emotionally potent. - Cameron
