Philadelphia-born artist Pink Sweat$ made one of the best decisions of his life when he decided to step out from the shadows of the music industry as a songwriter and fully pursue a music career as a solo artist. His 2018 breakout single "Honesty" propelled him into the world of R&B and showcased the artist's intimate and sentimental brand of music. Now, nearly three years later, the pink-obsessed singer has finally delivered his debut album, PINK PLANET.
Sonically, PINK PLANET explores some new territory for the Volume 1 artist, especially on upbeat funky cuts like "PINK MONEY" and "Icy," but for the majority of the album, Sweat$ settles into the slow-burning and melodic vibes that he's been establishing over his past few EPs. PINK PLANET also doubles down on the singer-songwriter's penchant for writing extremely personal and emotional records, and as a result, the 18-track effort -- which recycles a fair amount of previously released music -- only features one guest appearance from Kehlani.
Although Sweat$ doesn't go full J. Cole on listeners, PINK PLANET does benefit from being such an isolated effort, as it puts the Philly-born artist's talents on full display. When describing the album's concept on "Interlude," Sweat$ says, "Through music, I was able to just get away from it all, and I guess that's why I build this place -- The Pink Planet. And I want everyone to come."
