panicbaby – soft prn
One of the rawest and most exciting vocalists crashing into UK consciousness right now, Berlin-based, alt-pop star panicbaby explores dysfunctional love on “soft prn” – the final single taken from her debut EP f u jonathan, dropping on February 13th alongside an exclusive vinyl launch.
Sitting on 25M+ streams across four singles in 2025, panicbaby has quickly introduced herself as a serious creative force. Fragile and fierce, she effortlessly blends nostalgic elements with hypnotic, new-edge production, drawing from the cinematic melancholy of Sofia Coppola, the fragility of Lykke Li, and the sultry introspection of Lana Del Rey. With significant, early support across the landscape from BBC RADIO 1 to becoming one of Spotify GSA’s Artists To Watch in 2026, panicbaby is already marked for a breakthrough year as her brand-new single and debut EP emerge into the spotlight.
Firmly cementing her status as a true multi-hyphenate talent and storyteller, “soft prn” captures the turbulence and confusion of a complex yet captivating relationship, torn between pain and beauty, heartbreak and desire. panicbaby seeks clarity in the storm, with longing, anger, and self-doubt fuelling the beautifully destructive aftermath of emotions that take control, reinforcing her universal edge alongside intimate, vulnerable vocals and glossy, understated synth work.
Speaking on the single, panicbaby explains: “’soft prn’ is about a relationship that’s both horrible and beautiful at the same time and the struggle of accepting that duality.”
Hot on the scene with a stream of infectious single drops – including her dreamy debut “Claw Marks”, the surrealism of “other boys are boring” , and the quiet elegance of “avoidant little b <3” – panicbaby’s story continues to unfold over refined, hazy instrumentation, each release amplifying the experiences of modern relationships; the yearning and tenderness that seems universally felt through a generation enthralled by toxicity and fleeting connections. Her music has also sparked a wave of online creativity, with videos using her songs surpassing 2.4B views across social media – underlining her position as a global talent while her universe grows larger, louder, and more self-assured.
She adds: “Having only started this project six months ago, I had never before performed as panicbaby, so I can’t wait to go on tour and sing with and meet the people that have listened to the songs on the internet in real life. The tracks come from a very personal place and realising that there’s other people connecting with the emotion I wrote them with is the craziest thing in the world.”
Following a key support slot alongside British singer-songwriter Artemas at the Roundhouse (Feb 3), the rising talent will also take on her first-ever headline tour, bringing her cinematic world of heartbreak and late-night confessionals to key cities across Europe, including Berlin (Kantine am Berghain, Feb 18), London (Camden Assembly, Feb 20), Paris (Supersonic Records, Feb 21), Amsterdam (Paradiso Upstairs, Feb 24), and Warsaw (Hydrozagadka, Feb 26).
