Pink Pantheress could maybe win an award for 2025\u2019s catchiest opening line to an album: \u201cMy name is Pink, and I\u2019m really glad to meet you.\u201d If you haven\u2019t heard that circulating on the internet this year, you\u2019re lying. Pink\u2019s third studio album, Fancy That<\/em>, follows the mixtape, fairly DIY, sample-heavy format of her 2021 debut. As a star that was born on TikTok, most of her songs are bite-sized, never running longer than three minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While not too dissimilar in sound from her previous work, this album feels more concrete and cohesive as a whole. Feeling like a scene from a teenage girl\u2019s bedroom in the 2010s, it feeds into the average internet user\u2019s insatiable appetite for the \u2018nostalgic.\u2019 She samples Just Jack\u2019s 2007 hit \u201cStarz in their eyes,\u201d as well as, Pan!c at the Disco, Jessica Simpson, and Basement Jaxx. It\u2019s as if she got hold of an ancient relic (an iPod nano) and just sampled whatever songs surfaced when she hit shuffle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fancy That <\/em>is compact in every way; not just the short run time of both the individual tracks and the album as a whole (nine songs in 20 minutes!?), but also in that Pink mostly opts for very tight jungle, UKG, and break beats. Her voice, which is sweet, ultra-feminine and very distinctive, also sticks within a pretty small range (volume, tone and pitch), adding to the overall cutesie vibe. The bouncy instrumentals are peppered with Pink\u2019s iconic, echoing \u201cyeah\u201d throughout the album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pink is excellent at writing simple but very catchy hooks. Whether it\u2019s the \u201cHey, ooooh,\u201d from \u201cIllegal,\u201d or the flirty \u201cYou want sex with me? (Uh-huh) Come and talk to me\u201d from \u201cTonight,\u201d once it\u2019s in your brain, good luck getting it back out.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This album definitely has a very online feel to it, but it is light and fun. It is perfect to throw on while you\u2019re getting ready to go out for the night, because you can\u2019t help but feel hot and sassy when you listen to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
