After declaring earlier this year that no song needs to be “longer than two minutes 30 seconds,” British pop star PinkPantheress has offered yet another hot take on music consumption in the modern era.
In a new interview with Kids Take Over, the Boy’s a Liar singer reveals that the order of songs in an album doesn’t matter to her.
“I don’t listen to albums, I just listen to songs,” says PinkPantheress. “That’s why when it came to my own album, I was like, do people care about tracklisting? I couldn’t believe it.”
“When I saw people review my album, some people were like, ‘it’s a great album but the tracklisting doesn’t make sense.’ I’m like, just listen to the songs!”
The musician, who owes much of her early success to TikTok, later clarified her comments on X (formerly Twitter), arguing that imposing limits on how music should be made or listened to only serves to hinder one’s enjoyment of it.
“All that to say, there is no right or wrong way to consume or make music,” she states. “It’s people trying to say there is that stops people from enjoying and creating art in whichever form they want. Who cares if I listen to albums in full lol. It’s music, it’s meant to be unique to everyone.”
Elsewhere in the chat, PinkPantheress also shares that she’d like to be more involved in producing for other artists, saying: “If somebody wants to call me into a studio, I always think it’ll be under the guise of doing production or writing.”
“But at some point they’ll be like: ‘can you just jump on the song?’ I would love to be more behind the scenes of other people’s music.”
