PinkPantheress’ new single – “Angel”

The PinkPantheress story is a bit like a fairy tale. A teenage girl who goes from making music in her bedroom to one of the UK’s biggest rising stars, delivers a powerful mixtape for the first time with “boys bouncing pt. 2“It met with great success. Unfortunately, the great villain in that fairy tale is also the singer herself, because in last year’s Pukkelpop – a show she herself seems to have forgotten about – she was still notable for her unprofessionalism. She recently excelled at the CORE festival in autotune and lipsyncing and applying lipstick for which she disappeared from the stage for fifteen minutes in the middle of her set.Anyway, the numbers don’t lie, so it wasn’t a bad idea from the makers to also include PinkPantheress, along with Dua Lipa, in the music New pictorial BarbiePut the movie.

However, on the nearly two-minute “Angel” we hear PinkPantheress from a slightly different side than we’re used to. For example, poppy influences often seep into her bedroom UK R&B, so that finally pays homage to Barbie’s bright pink. However, this song can’t really be called special, because “Angel” is nothing more than a classic PinkPantheress rocking structure. We never feel like we’re hearing something that really convinces us, so the song quickly fades into background noise. All in all a great one, this “Angel”, but nothing more.
