UH's lifestyle and entertainment magazine - by students, for students

PinkPantheress graced the stage on Wednesday to a completely packed crowd at White Oak Music Hall along with Kanii.

Kanii opened and quickly got everyone in the mood with his electronic groovy songs. Starting with “u and I,” “marry me” and “Five” along with ending his set with his viral hits “sins (let me in),” “Heart Racing” and “Go.”

The alternative pop star started her show with a mini snippet of a potential single “Hey, It’s Me” sampling Selena’s “Dreaming of You.” After a sickening opening monologue reminding us that only Heaven will know, we are thrust into a “Break it Off” intro full of drums, snares and guitars with flashing purple lights.

PinkPantheress walks on singing her viral debut single, as she faces the mirror behind her “I Must Apologise” begins to play creating more of an uproar. Taking time to talk to her fans across the venue, she is thrown gifts as she begins to play her first single off her latest album “Mosquito” then, “Pain,” “Passion,” “Just For Me” and “Where You Are” before dashing off stage as the crowd gets another interlude.

“Capable of Love” begins to play as she comes back onstage, getting the audience right back to that level of excitement by pulling on the emotions of the song and site. A fan favorite section of songs starts as she sings and talks us through “The Aisle,” “Take Me Home,” “Attracted To You,” “Feel Complete” and “Bury Me.”

The audience is met back with upbeat snares and base with an added majestic wind as she sings and dances during “Another Life.”

Throughout all “True Romance,” the energy is at its peak, as if a coming-of-age movie moment came to life. The green lights captured the common adolescent emotions as she sang “Reason” interacting with the crowd and signing vinyls.

The beginning of the end of her set is met with a familiar voice from the intro monologue as she then walks on to sing “Blue.” The sleepover energy continues as she closes out the show with “Picture In My Mind” as well as “Boy’s A Liar.”

Of course, the crowd is met with an encore of “Internet Baby” and “Nice To Meet You” as she cheers on an audience member’s line-by-line reenactment of Central Cee’s verse. Pantheress is met with many gifts before she waves everyone goodnight and her incredible band comforts with a phenomenal outro.
