PinkPantheress – ‘Fancy Some More?’ Review: A Star-Studded Remix Ride with a Few Stumbles

An eclectic remix adventure, ‘Fancy Some More?’ showcases PinkPantheress’ core magic alongside a dazzling lineup, though not every collab hits the mark.

2025 has already been a whirlwind year for PinkPantheress. From snagging a coveted Mercury Prize nod to selling out UK arenas, this rising star has truly stepped into her spotlight. It all kicked off with Fancy That, a nine-track mixtape that felt like her boldest statement yet—proof she could twist her sound, surprise us, and keep every ear hooked. Now, she’s back with Fancy Some More?, a two-disc remix extravaganza. This isn’t just a remix album; it’s a vibrant kaleidoscope where PinkPantheress joins forces with global icons, rising talents, and underground trailblazers, crafting a swirling universe of fresh takes.

A Dream Collab Chat Brought to Life

The first disc reads like a fantasy group chat, buzzing with guest stars from all corners. We’re talking Kylie Minogue, SEVENTEEN, Sugababes, Ravyn Lenae, JT, Oklou, JADE, and more. That’s a lineup that’s tough to beat.

Some guests simply get it. Take ‘Illegal + Anitta’—it keeps the viral energy of the original but spices it up with a fresh Spanglish twist that feels like a genuine rebirth. Then there’s ‘Stars + Yves,’ a true highlight that flips a fan favorite into a lo-fi hyperpop dream before dropping into some gritty garage energy.

The pattern emerges quickly: the newer, underground stars seem to vibe better with PinkPantheress’ playful yet precise universe than some of the big names. For instance, ‘Illegal’ featuring SEVENTEEN is a bittersweet moment—finally a collab with one of her idols—but the Italian-inspired production here flattens the quirky charm of the track. Kylie Minogue’s turn on ‘Stateside’ also feels a little constrained, hinting that not every superstar fully slips into Pink’s delightfully chaotic world.

Perfect Matches and Charming Reinterpretations

Some remixes truly soar. ‘Romeo + Rachel Chinouriri’ and Bladee and Zara Larsson’s individual spins on ‘Stateside’ stand out as brilliant interpretations. These artists don’t just add their touch—they embrace PinkPantheress’ unique selling point and run with it.

Bladee’s voice slices through like a laser—his cold, detached “cyborg croon” floats effortlessly over a neon, glitchy soundscape. Meanwhile, Chinouriri’s silky, high-register vocals layer beautifully atop Pink’s storytelling, making lines like:

“That’s dumb, you let yourself fall in love / Now you have no one.”

feel even more poignant and bittersweet.

And then there’s ‘Stateside + Zara Larsson,’ which might just be the album’s crown jewel. Over a futuristic, Timbaland-esque R&B beat, Zara cleverly strings together popular queer catchphrases like “Boots!” while playfully addressing the online chatter about her tour with Tate McRae:

“I’ve been touring stateside / Kissing my Swedish boy over FaceTime / Who knew, opening up would make me a headline?”

It’s cheeky, heartfelt, and unmistakably stylish.

When Remixes Miss the Mark

Not every remix hits home. Unfortunately, ‘Girl Like Me’ doesn’t get the justice it deserves. The trance-infused versions by Kaytranada and Oklou strip away the manic energy that made the original so endearing. The track’s messy, infectious charm feels lost in translation here. While Kaytranada’s signature sleek vibe remains intact, the playful delirium that hooked listeners initially just isn’t there.

Disc Two: A Wild DJ Playground

Flip to disc two, and the remix vibes shift dramatically. This is where the rulebook goes out the window. ‘Illegal + Nia Archives’ is a wild jungle rush, while ‘Tonight + Basement Jaxx’ turns things into a bongo-driven carnival explosion. The ‘Tonight + Joe Goddard’ remix centers ad-libs over jittery, grime-like beats, making for an unexpected spin.

But the true knockout? ‘Stars + DJ Caio Prince + Adame DJ’ takes listeners on a dizzying rollercoaster through amapiano, baile funk, and UK garage all in one breathless ride. It’s unpredictable, playful, and a perfect example of how PinkPantheress’ universe can stretch and flex without losing its core.

Wrapping It Up: A Sonic Joyride with Highs and Lows

Fancy Some More? is undoubtedly ambitious. It’s packed to the brim with heavyweight collaborators and wildly inventive remixes that both dazzle and occasionally confuse. Some artists slip effortlessly into PinkPantheress’ playful spirit, amplifying her vibrant energy, while others feel like fleeting cameos—impressive on paper but a bit detached in vibe.

Ultimately, this album is a sonic joyride through dance music’s many nooks and crannies. It shines brightly in moments but doesn’t quite recapture the unruly, magnetic charm of Fancy That. Still, for fans and newcomers alike, it’s an exciting exploration of what happens when a rising star invites the world to remix her story.
