“lightning-speed debut is among year’s best”
“PinkPantheress’ debut mixtape To Hell With It proves she is more than just another TikTok star”
“20-year-old TikTok phenomenon offers much more than virality”
“PinkPantheress calls the music she makes “new nostalgic.” It’s a fitting term for her approach, repurposing U.K. garage and music that would probably be heard in a sleazy club at 4:30 a.m. into backdrops for intimate stories of heartbreak and the confusion of late adolescence: too old to not know better, but too young to care. Through this, the 20-year-old Londoner has become a phenomenon, proppe”
“The 20-year-old UK producer broke out on TikTok with snippet-sized songs that ache with nostalgia for the recent past. Her intimate, lived-in music succeeds where cheaper imitations fail.”
“**💭 Thoughts:** While many mixtapes are usually of mediocre quality compared to an artists’ later work, PinkPantheress’ 2021 debut mixtape differs—filled with consistently strong, nostalgic, and dreamy tracks. This is a great mixtape, and I absolutely love the frequent usage of drum ‘n’ bass/jungle samples. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.) Pain 🔵 2.) I must apologise 🔵🥈 3.) Last valentines 🟢 4.) Passion 🔵 5.)

“2.5 not as in BAD but just didn’t expect to come out of the album with no new songs added to my album but it’s good in the sense that it’s one of her earlier albums or maybe her first idk”
“Amazing album, only complaint is that it’s so damn short”
