PinkPantheress, the brand new artist whose debut mixtape we ranked number 5 in our Best Albums of 2021 List, has been named the BBC's Sound of 2022.

It's no small win: previous winners of the title include Adele, Sam Smith, HAIM and Sigrid. The BBC has called PinkPantheress "mysterious".

“i am so happy to be chosen for the bbc sound of 2022," the artist said. "to be put up against such amazing musicians has been an honour and i just hope that i fulfill the people’s expectations of me this year”.

Of to hell with it, the PinkPantheress mixtape we named the fifth best album of 2021, we said: "to hell with it contains ten songs—eighteen minutes in total—but each track is so catchy that you only need twenty seconds to get addicted...

almost singlehandedly bringing back garage and tinges of happy hardcore for the modern era."
