PYNKIE’s new single “Plz” chronicles the highs and lows of a relationship, be it one you’ve been trying to navigate for years or one you’ve simply built up in your head. “It’s about hoping and believing that a relationship will ultimately work out through the rollercoaster of ups and downs” says Lindsey Radice (aka PYNKIE). “The fast tempo and high energy instrumentation of the song are coupled with soft drawn-out vocal melodies, creating a combined feeling of chaos and composure. Those mixed feelings mirror the relationship at the center of the song’s theme.” The song takes that personal thing you’re feeling, puts it into words, and suddenly you’re feeling better. We’ve all been there. Some songs are just there for us.

Lindsey Radice writes and performs under the name PYNKIE. She also happens to be a full-time Registered Nurse from New Jersey. The self-described “songmaker + nurse” started playing around with making music when a friend introduced her to free recording software in her college dorm. “When I started making music, it was definitely a joke at first. But then I started taking myself more seriously. I felt like I could do a little more than just making songs about cup noodles,” Radice jokes. She first gained popularity on SoundCloud, ultimately leading to her signing by Fat Possum imprint, House Arrest. “I would release demos on SoundCloud and people just started to repost them or whatever. And it just became this little thing. It’s a bit of an underground scene where people like things that sound like shit. But for my official releases, and this type of music, I feel like it has to be perfect, so I spend a lot of time on that,” she says.
