"PinkPantheress experienced apprehension as she'd never performed without Auto-Tune machinery – a nerve-wracking prospect for her at her Tiny Desk concert appearance."

"PinkPantheress felt apprehensive about performing without auto-tuning for her Tiny Desk concert, almost opting out due to the unfamiliar experience."

PinkPantheress made her debut on NPR's Tiny Desk Concert series, delivering a captivating performance that showcased her unique sound in a new light. The British artist, known for her instrument-led arrangements of TikTok hits, took on the challenge of performing without her usual pitch-correction software, a decision that proved to be a success.

PinkPantheress' setlist for the concert consisted of eight songs, a feat made possible by her short discography. Each track, typically with a maximum length of 2 minutes 30 seconds, was carefully selected to fit within the 20-minute performance NPR requested.

The performance featured a variety of arrangements, with double bass, acoustic guitar, and harmonica taking centre stage. PinkPantheress' vocals, which have received positive feedback from viewers, shone through, despite her initial nerves about performing without Auto-Tune.

In a surprising turn of events, PinkPantheress managed to meet the requirements of the performance without resorting to her usual use of Antares Auto-Tune or any other tuning software. This was her first time performing without pitch correction, a decision that was praised by YouTube user @honestlykyle for its courage.

@honestlykyle was not the only one impressed by PinkPantheress' performance. Viewers took to social media to express their admiration for the artist's bravery and the raw, unfiltered quality of her vocals. PinkPantheress herself expressed her relief and satisfaction, stating that her short discography played to her strengths during the concert.

This unplugged performance marked a new chapter in PinkPantheress' career, demonstrating her versatility and adaptability as an artist. It was a testament to her talent and a promising sign of things to come.
