PinkPantheress, Mosquito | Track Review 🎵

Ascending artist PinkPantheress ‘brings the heat’ on “Mosquito,” the lead single from her forthcoming debut album.

[otw_shortcode_dropcap label=”“O” size=”large” border_color_class=”otw-no-border-color” shadow=”shadow” square=”square”]n a Monday, can I see you? / Can I check my numbers? ‘Cause I want to.” 🎙 PinkPantheress is a whole vibe, PERIOD. Once again, the intriguing artist that once uttered, 💿 to hell with it, is delivering anotha one – another pop bop that is! 🎵 “Mosquito”, like many of her songs, keeps things short and sweet to the tune of two-and-a-half minutes.  That is ample time for PinkPantheress to totally wow 😮![/otw_shortcode_dropcap]

What’s interesting is the fact that PinkPantheress never explicitly mentions the pesky, blood-sucking insect on “Mosquito.”  Instead, her focus is on money – the mean green, baby! Even as matters of material things are the focal point, PinkPantheress serves up sweet vocals, singing with ease, as always.  Her backdrop is rhythmic (Pink Pantheress, 🎛 Greg Kurstin, and Mura Masa), but like her vocals, maintains a cool aesthetic and energy.  The groove is a big talking point, with its bossa nova sensibilities 🤘. The section to beat is the chorus:

“‘Cause I just had a dream I was dead

And I only cared ‘cause I was taken from you

You’re the only thing that I own

I hear my bell ring, I’d only answer for you.”

WOO! Even so, the verse, which gets spiritual, to an extent, is fab too.  The power of money and material is real, y’all: “Now you’re sittin’ in accounts ‘cause I’m too scared to take you out / Now save me.” All told,  🎵 “Mosquito” is a fine lead single from PinkPantheress’ debut album.  There’s so much to ❤️.
