To Hell With It
To Hell with It (stylised in all lowercase) is the debut mixtape by English musician PinkPantheress, released through Parlophone and Elektra Records on 15 October 2021. The mixtape, which runs for slightly over 18 minutes, features production from PinkPantheress herself, as well as from Oscar Scheller, Izco, Natalia Fletcher, Jkarri, Mura Masa, Zach Nahome, Kairos Laferme, Adam F, and Dill Aitchison. PinkPantheress began posting snippets of her songs to TikTok in early 2021, including "Pain" and "Break It Off", both of which went viral on the platform. She subsequently signed to Parlophone and Elektra Records, through which she released three of the mixtape's singles–"Passion", "Just for Me", and "I Must Apologise". -Wikipedia

Pitchfork
The 20-year-old UK producer broke out on TikTok with snippet-sized songs that ache with nostalgia for the recent past. Her intimate, lived-in music succeeds where cheaper imitations fail.

DIY Magazine
‘To Hell With It’ is a heady mix of ’00s genres and references that only seem to work together because it’s delivered with just the right amount of earnestness. PinkPantheress’ viral success is much more than one created by an algorithm. As this mixtape shows, it’s driven by pure talent and charm.

Clash Magazine
It's exciting to hear an artist so assured at such an early stage of her career. Yet to play live, she's letting this project do the talking on its own terms. She's acknowledged that she's an internet kid, and this is truly an internet album - full of self-aware wistfulness and post-ironic references, it avoids the pitfalls of many other flash-in-the pan internet culture records by also being genuine; genuinely nostalgic, genuinely sweet, genuinely interesting, and genuinely great.

Dork
The vibe is old school meshing with new school in sweet harmony. It’s unpolished and kind of rudimentary, but that’s part of what makes it so exciting. The best part of this EP isn’t just about how it sounds. Nor is it simply down to the quality of the songs. It’s the promise of what’s to come: something really very special indeed.

The Line of Best Fit
Dripping in 2000s nostalgia in a time where the term ‘Y2K’ is thrown around like confetti, to hell with it feels genuine. A genuine talent creating music that is genuine to her and by showing the wide spectrum of her talent, PinkPantheress adds an extra sensation to her ‘viral sensation’ tag. Nestling perfectly within the current climate whilst also carrying its own charm, this is the start of something big.

Gigwise
On reflection, To hell with it changes everything. It’s a collection of lost songs, for people to confide in. It offers an escape, a refuge, a rave, and a place to lie down. Beautifully bleak, bordering on existential, it’s the record we’ve all been crying out for, and it’s arrived in the knick of time.

What You Expect?
This is music, does it sound good sonically or not? Thankfully, we don’t need every artist to tackle every single world issue in every song. Good music should evoke a feeling, and I can’t lie.. PinkPantheress music does resonate despite me not being able to recite a single lyric. But that’s the beauty of it. No one knows what is means, but it’s provocative… it gets the people going.
