PinkPantheress has gone viral for explaining why she makes short songs and stating that “we don’t need to have a bridge” – comments that have stoked discussions about songwriting and now garnered a response from Dionne Warwick.PinkPantheress shared her opinions on song lengths in an interview on ABC News last Friday (May 24), the same day she released her first song of the year, ‘Turn It Up’. Explaining why her own songs are on the short side, the British artist explained that “making short songs was just a result of me experimenting”.“A song doesn’t need to be longer than 2 minutes 30 [seconds], in my opinion,” the 23-year-old told journalist Ashan Singh.
“We don’t need to repeat a verse, we don’t need to have a bridge, we don’t need it. We don’t need a long outro.”A Twitter/X post of Pink’s quote, shared by the pop culture account Pop Crave, went viral on the platform.
And today (May 29), Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2024 inductee Dionne Warwick shared it – at first reacting with nothing but a question mark. Warwick’s post garnered over 30,000 likes and responses from users, many of whom seemingly interpreted it as a diss towards PinkPantheress.However, Warwick followed up to clarify her reaction, stating that she wasn’t out to “get” PinkPantheress.
“Artists are allowed to create their art in any way they choose,” she wrote. “However, I do believe a bridge is important.”I am not “getting” her.
Artists are allowed to create their art in any way they choose. However, I do believe a bridge is important.
