PinkPantheress delivered her first ever performance for NPR's long-running Tiny Desk Concert series last week, visiting NPR HQ to present a varied setlist that translated her largely electronic TikTok hits into instrument-led arrangements featuring double bass, acoustic guitar and even harmonica.
A vocalist, songwriter and accomplished producer, PinkPantheress – like many modern artists – usually performs using pitch-correction software such as Antares Auto-Tune on her vocals. But, as she revealed to the audience for the Tiny Desk Concert, the NPR show marked her first ever performance without Auto-Tune, a prospect that she admits left her feeling "nervous".
