PinkPantheress Unveils Tiny Desk Set Without Auto‑Tune

The stripped live session previews her low‑tech approach ahead of her Brooklyn tour kickoff next month.

Overview

  • NPR Music published the 23-minute performance on Friday, featuring eight songs with a six-piece band inside the Tiny Desk.
  • She told the audience it was her first time performing with no tuning after NPR required no pitch correction.
  • The set drew from Fancy That with "Girl Like Me," "Illegal" and closer "Tonight," alongside earlier tracks like "Pain."
  • Arrangements included a jazzier take on "Illegal," a harmonica turn on 2021's "Atracted to You" and a ringtone lead-in to "Tonight" that nods to "Boys a Liar."
  • The appearance tees up her An Evening With PinkPantheress tour, scheduled to begin next month in Brooklyn.
