One of the most anticipated collaborations this month has been that of PinkPantheress and Sam Gellaitry.
In a matter of days, ‘Picture in my mind‘ has garnered more than 900k streams on Spotify alone and picked up editorial acclaim from most major music publications (including Fader, Clash, Notion and The Face).
“I went all the way to Stirling Scotland to work with Sam. He is a genius level producer” – PinkPantheress
“After meeting pink p for the first time in London last year we decided to schedule a trip for her to come to Scotland and write. I’m so happy with how this one turned out and it was an honour to witness how much of a visionary PinkPantheress really is. This track will be my summer anthem for now and many many years to come.” – Sam Gellaitry
PinkPantheress will perform live across several festivals in the coming days – be sure to catch this rising artist if you can!
“I am so happy to be chosen for the BBC Sound of 2022, to be put up against such amazing musicians has been an honour and I just hope that I fulfil the people’s expectations of me this year.”
As another year of extraordinary new music comes to a close, the BBC Sound Ofpoll reveals it’s longlist of talent that is expected to make waves in 2022.
And per usual, most of the acts were featured on here quite some time ago… Here’s the longlist:
Lola Young – first featured on Alfitude in January 2020
Emerging UK artist PinkPantheress finally returns with a new bop! Featuring production from Mura Masa, ‘Just for me’ is a sleek ode to old-school UK garage with melodic guitars and those signature saccharine vocals.
With over 280k followers on TikTok alone and 40 million streams across her Spotify catalogue, 20-year old Londoner PinkPantheress is already garnering significant traction thanks to her distinctive approach of creating sounds that have a nostalgic yet future-forward flair to them.
