It’s no surprise that PinkPantheress's second mixtape features another interpretation of Just Jack’s ‘Stars In Their Eyes’; revisiting nostalgic Top Ten hits is her forte. On ‘Fancy That’, ‘Stars’ (a revamped version of Pink’s 2021 track ‘Attracted To You’) is accompanied by a collection of samples or allusions to other British classics, such as Basement Jaxx’s ‘Romeo’ (‘Girl Like Me’), the Adina Howard / Sugababes hit ‘Freak Like Me’ (‘Stateside’), and even the lesser-known William Orbit piece ‘Spiral’ (‘Nice To Know’). The inclusion of Panic! At The Disco’s ‘Do You Know What I’m Seeing?’ in the playful lead single ‘Tonight’ might seem out of place, but it all serves to highlight PinkPantheress’s unabashed talent for nostalgically reinventing essential UK pop culture. This time, she invigorates the signature emo-meets-jungle minimalism from her debut ‘Heaven knows’; ‘Fancy That’ features Clubland-era house, British garage, and punchy club beats that are perfect for the dancefloor, all driven by fast-paced pseudo-nightcore rhythms. With support from various contemporary pop innovators like The Dare, Count Baldor, and Oscar Scheller, ‘Fancy That’ satisfies nearly every nostalgic craving her audience might have, while still keeping a finger on the pulse of what’s to come.
