PinkPantheress has explained why her songs are so short, revealing that she believes songs should be no “longer than two-minutes-30”.Last Friday (May 24), the Bath-born singer released her first song of the year, the syrupy ‘Turn It Up’.
To promote the single, she spoke with ABC News for their Prime Playlist segment and opened up about why she keeps her songs short and sweet.“I was able to experiment and making short songs was just a result of me experimenting,” the 23-year-old explained to journalist Ashan Singh. “A song doesn’t need to be longer than two minutes 30, in my opinion.
We don’t need to repeat a verse, we don’t need to have a bridge, we don’t need it. We don’t need a long outro.”The singer-songwriter’s longest song to date is ‘Capable of love’ from her debut album, ‘Heaven Knows’ released last November.
The track stands at three minutes and 43 seconds, while most songs on the record range between two and three minutes. By comparison, her 2021 mixtape ‘To Hell With It’ is 10 songs long and only three of them are longer than two minutes.Music legend Dionne Warwick has since taken online to voice her disagreement with the singer, arguing that “a bridge is important” when it comes to letting a song breathe.Elsewhere in the conversation, PinkPantheress told Singh that she found stardom “very scary”.
