The release of the video as the British singer made her debut TV performance on Jimmy Fallon last week.
The newly released music video for the fan favourite song sees PinkPantheress compete in a tournament against opponent and love interest, Destin Conrad. As the match begins, each move is a blend of strategy, tension and attraction before we see Destin and Pink take on their roles as King and Queen of the chessboard. The pair lead their life-size chess pieces into a high-energy dance-off that builds to a decisive and unforgettable victory for one. This video was directed by Iris Luz.
‘Romeo’ features on the singer’s latest mixtape which was created alongside aksel arvid, Count Baldor, phil, Oscar Scheller and The Dare among others. This nine track release as well as featuring her signature vocals, it also includes samples and interpolations from Panic! at the Disco to Jessica Simpson to Basement Jaxx and William Orbit as she seamlessly blends classics and hidden gems with her signature earworm production. The sophomore mixtape features singles ‘Tonight’, ‘Stateside’ and recently released ‘Illegal’.
Talking about the project PinkPantheress explained: “this project is all about feeling the music in your body. I wanted to create something where dance is part of the story. i’m excited to have gotten back to my production roots for this project and i consider this to be my fancy era, very kitsch and colourful. It’s raw, fun, and completely movement-driven and I’m so excited to share it.”
PinkPantheress will be performing at London’s O2 Academy Brixton on 18th and 19th September.
