PinkPantheress goes deep on her new album 'Heaven Knows,' fame, money, London and much more
lets out a quiet groan as we approach the pier. We seem to have noticed in unison that we are the only Black people around, maybe for miles; we’re also the youngest people in the queue we join, by at least 35 years. It’s 4 p.m. on a Wednesday, and we’re in Kew Gardens, in southwest London, preparing to board a riverboat cruise down the Thames. “I love doing an activity,” she says, in a tone so deadpan it almost sounds sarcastic.
I actually wanted this album to sound like classic Brit pop, and then it turned into something I actually don’t know how to categorize.PinkPantheress philosophizes on money, possessions, and the grip of capitalism. “I don’t know why I have such a thing about money. I think it’s because when I grew up, I really didn’t have it a lot,” she says. “I’m just so frugal now.
While the language of her music can border on the theatrical, her real-life demeanor is far more low-key and grounded, even when talking about the most absurd parts of her journey so far: Climbing up the pop charts or being stopped in the street by fans, say, or even the hearing loss she suffered last year while on tour, which she notes with a simple “Alas, we move.” In person, she’s taller and chattier, and somehow even less fazed by it all than you’d expect.
Then there was the speculation around her birth name — something she wanted to hold close at the start of her career, not understanding its relevance to her music. “I didn’t like people knowing about my name, but it wasn’t even because I was trying to hide or because I was nervous. It was purely just, why do people have to know that?”
Averaging about two posts a year on an Instagram account with more than 1.5 million followers and generally leading a pretty offline existence, PinkPantheress has managed to maintain a healthy amount of mystery and normality around herself, mostly thanks to setting boundaries. “Honestly, I think it’s got something to do with gender,” she says. “For some reason, girls are expected to share everything.
