After years of making her mark on the music scene, PinkPantheress is ready to properly introduce herself with her debut album, Heaven Knows, out Friday (Nov. 10) via Warner UK.

“This album is an accumulation of music i’ve made over the last two years,” she wrote in her Instagram announcement last month. “I love everyone here, i cried the other day thinking of how lucky i am to have people willing to listen to me, you are never taken in vain. to my fanpages, i love you, you’re always there for me and i will never forget about how safe you make me feel. it’s been a long time comin from pain to capable of love, i hope you love each song you hear from me!”

Heaven Knows arrives two years after her debut mixtape To Hell With It, which she released on Oct. 15, 2021, via Parlophone and Elektra Records. To Hell With it reached No. 73 on the Billboard 200. She dropped the remixes edition of the project on Jan. 28, 2022.

But in her recent i-D cover story, she said she “had to level up” with her first full-length album. “I couldn’t just use loops anymore. I had to get other people to come in,” PinkPantheress said of her previous sample-heavy musical style. Heaven Knows includes features from Rema (“Another Life”), Central Cee (“Nice to Meet You”), Kelela (“Bury Me”) and Ice Spice (“Boys a Liar, Pt. 2”) — the latter of which reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 — as well as previously released singles “Mosquito” and “Capable of love.”

Ella Langley Stays True to Her Roots on Introspective New Album ‘Dandelion’: Stream It Now

The country star explores heartbreak, love, loss, faith and more on the new set.

Ella Langley‘s “Choosin’ Texas” has planted its roots at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 for five nonconsecutive weeks, but on her new album, Dandelion, she proves that the array of songs on the project are just as grounded in her ever-evolving artistic outlook as they are in her Alabama upbringing.

Across 16 songs (with the album bookended by Langley’s take on the traditional folk poem “Froggy Goes A-Courtin'”), Langley explores heartbreak, love, loss faith, and her unwavering dedication to being exactly who she is. Some songs are entrenched in soft-focused, acoustic-driven melodies, such as “Speaking Terms” and “Most Good Things Do,” but she also showcases her prowess with a ’90s country-leaning barnburner with “I Gotta Quit.”
