Fancy That

Nine tracks, twenty minutes and change, no features. PinkPantheress released Fancy That today on Warner UK and still doesn’t want a long outro. Garage, jungle, four-on-the-floor that sounds like a bedroom even when it wants a club. She’s said it more than once. The mixtape is the argument.

“Tonight” and “Stateside” already did the rounds. The Dare is in the credits on the latter. Samples and interpolations do the rest: Basement Jaxx, Underworld’s “Dark & Long,” Adina Howard via Sugababes, William Orbit. UK pop as a crate you actually play, not a moodboard. After Heaven Knows this is the shorter, louder one: Clubland BPM with diary posture.

Twenty minutes is a commute, a shower, the walk from the bar to the car. I put it on once through without skipping and was still in it when it stopped. That’s a summer aux with a runtime. Street date is now.
