PinkPantheress – Heaven Knows (White Vinyl)

Released in November 2023, Heaven Knows is the debut studio album by the English musician PinkPantheress. It follows her critically acclaimed mixtape To Hell With It and showcases a new level of depth and maturity in her songwriting. The album is a genre-bending blend of alternative pop, UK R&B, and lo-fi beats, with influences ranging from Billie Eilish to Charli XCX.

Heaven Knows is a deeply personal album that explores themes of love, loss, self-discovery, and the complexities of modern life. PinkPantheress’s signature saccharine vocals and earworm production are still present, but they are now paired with more introspective lyrics and a wider range of musical styles.

The album opens with the track “Heaven Knows,” a shimmering pop ballad that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song is about the uncertainty of the future and the search for meaning in life. It is followed by the singles “Boy’s a Liar Pt. 2” (featuring Ice Spice), a sassy breakup anthem, and “Mosquito,” a dreamy and introspective track about the feeling of being lost and alone.

Other highlights on the album include “Capable of Love,” a beautiful and heartbreaking ballad about the complexities of love, and “Nice to Meet You” (featuring Central Cee), a dark and brooding track about a toxic relationship.

Heaven Knows is a short but sweet album that clocks in at just over 30 minutes. However, it is packed with memorable songs and thoughtful lyrics that will stay with you long after you have finished listening. It is a strong debut from PinkPantheress and an album that is sure to please fans of her unique sound.
