PinkPantheress Previews New Mixtape With Single ‘Tonight'
British singer PinkPantheress is gearing up for the release of her next mixtape with the new single 'Tonight.' The song is animated by a sample of Panic! at the Disco's 2008 song 'Do You Know What I'm Seeing?", a creative choice that she alluded to back in 2021.
"The beat might be drum 'n' bass, but the writing style might be something you'd hear in a hyperpop song, or early '00s Paramore or Panic! at the Disco,' she told Crack magazine at the time of her sonic curation process. 'I'm picking my favorite musical attributes from certain genres, bands, and artists, and combining them.'
'I leave my bedroom with my posters of you up / I do this all because you're my superstar / I look at you and I wonder why its so complicated / You're talking out to a crowd of people who thought you hated / Your friends will tell me you're too scared of coming up / But tonight, why is it all emotional to me?' she sings on the new track. 'You want sex with me / Come talk to me / Talk later, that's why I'm goin' tonight / You're hot, on fire, that's why I'm callin' tonight / Talk later, that's why I'm goin' tonight / You're sex on fire, that's why I like goin' tonight.'
Carving her own musical lane in an industry so determined to squeeze her into a box has been a challenge, but PinkPantheress isn't one to let outside voices get to her.
'A lot of my career has been people telling me their perception of me rather than me saying who I am,' she told Mixmag this week. 'Being a 'popstar' or being in the public eye can definitely make you lose yourself. I am somebody who knows myself down to the bone but I'm telling you, being a singer makes it so easy to think about what people think or want to hear and it makes you lose elements of your beginnings.'
PinkPantheress' next project is out May 9.

Benny Blanco Shares Intimate, Never-Before-Seen Photos of Selena Gomez
As Selena Gomez rang in her 33rd birthday surrounded by her nearest and dearest inner circle, her fiancé Benny Blanco was by her side—and he took a moment after the disco-themed festivities quieted down to share a more private side of the singer. The music producer confirmed he's as smitten with Gomez as ever as he gave fans a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse of their 'dream' life together, complete with a subtle roast of his own sleeping beauty's napping habits. 'Our life is a dream… so I'm never waking u up… happy birthday my love,' Blanco wrote in a photo dump shared with his 3 million followers on Tuesday, July 22. In contrast to his emotional caption, he appeared to keep things light with his photos as he shared not one, but five different photos of his wife-to-be sleeping in random places. Selena's "Dreaming of You" fittingly played in the background. In the first image, a blue hoodie-clad Blanco took a selfie in the back of a car while the 'Calm Down' singer dozed against his shoulder and the leather seats. A sleeping Gomez also made another appearance in the second photo, which showed her getting some shut-eye while snuggled up in a pink fuzzy blanket. The star could be seen wrapped in various cozy blankets while napping on the couch in two subsequent photos. The final image showed a makeup-free Gomez wearing a long-sleeved red shirt and clutching a sherpa blanket as she peacefully rested her eyes in bed. The cozy unfiltered scenes were a contrast to the glam, '80s disco-inspired party that Gomez held for her birthday. Celebrating alongside celebrity BFFs like Taylor Swift and Sofia Carson, the Only Murders in the Building actress—who was dressed to the nines in a reflective black Nadine Merabi jumpsuit paired with a multi-watt Brilliant Earth diamond necklace and fuzzy white coat—also shared several sweet photos of her kissing Blanco as well as one of her kneeling on the ground outside while playfully grabbing his legs. Reflecting on her 'incredible journey' over the past year, Gomez called 32 the 'most beautiful year of [her] life' in her emotional caption. Read the original article on InStyle
