PinkPantheress is getting ready to release her debut album on Nov. 10. Heaven Knows will include tracks in collaboration with other artists such as Rema, Central Cee and Kelela.
Known for Y2K style and sample mixes, PinkPantheress is seeing this album as a way of branching out musically.
“I had to level up; I couldn’t just use loops anymore,” she told i-D in an interview. “I had to get other people to come in.”

The 22-year-old also revealed she was nearly featured on a track with Kendrick Lamar. She missed a phone call and studio session with the artist as she was on a movie date.
“Oh f*ck, I can’t even think about it,” she said. “I was watching Nightcrawler with this guy,” adding that her date had asked her to put her phone on silent.
PinkPantheress did collaborate with Baby Keem, who is Lamar’s cousin. She was featured on the track “killstreaks” off the deluxe edition of the rapper’s debut album, The Melodic Blue. Baby Keem also received a writing credit on PinkPantheress’ single “Do You Miss Me?” from her 2022 EP Take Me Home.
