New PinkPantheress Song Featuring Willow is Due Next Week
PinkPantheress has finally confirmed that her long-awaited collaboration with Willow will be released. The rising Bath-born, London-based musician hinted the prospective collaboration when speaking to fans on TikTok back in January. She released her debut mixtape ‘To Hell With It’ in October and was recently listed in the NME 100.
While previewing a new single on the video-sharing app, PinkPantheress responded to one fan who commented: “I feel like Willow Smith needs to be on this.”
“You have been heard,” PinkPantheress replied. “Da collaboration I dreamt of for years… brb crying.”
PinkPantheress has now stated that the collaboration, titled ‘Where You Are,’ will be released on 22nd April. She posted a photo of herself on Twitter with the caption “‘Where you are’ feat @OfficialWillow 22/04,” followed by an eyes emoji.
PinkPantheress was declared the winner of BBC Radio 1’s Sound Of 2022 earlier this year.
“I’m honestly gassed, my dad’s going to be so happy!” she told the BBC about the win. “I had self-belief from the beginning but when other people start telling you stuff like this, it genuinely keeps you going.”
She also said that her fans should “expect a feature or two” in terms of new music in 2022. “I’ve been a bit of a lone wolf so far, but I’ve been really trying to get into my collaboration bag. That’s the thing I’m most excited for.”
PinkPantheress will play at the Parklife festival in Manchester in June. Tyler, the Creator, 50 Cent, Megan Thee Stallion, Lewis Capaldi, Bicep, Chase & Status, Loyle Carner, Jamie xx, Arlo Parks, and Headie One are among the artists on the event’s lineup, which was revealed in January.
Meanwhile, Willow performed ‘Psychofreak,’ a collaboration with Camila Cabello, on Saturday Night Live last weekend.
