A glistening fusion of silken noir and fresh candor, Auckland based queer pop artist Jack Panther returns today with a lush new single SKI LIFT 001. Flowing with alt pop flavours and sharp vulnerability, SKI LIFT 001 is also accompanied by a bold visualiser, contrasting the heart-rending lyrics and melodics as Jack appears laying on the floor slowly bleeding out. SKI LIFT 001 also marks a peek into Jack’s impending new EP why don’t you come over? which will release on June 3.

WHAT SONGS GET YOU PUMPED BEFORE A GIG?

Needed Me – Rihanna
I mean it’s a Rihanna track, do I need to say anything else? The sass the energy behind it, it’s infectious. I love the vibe it’s so empowering and something that makes me feel so confident!

Mile High – James Blake
Such a sick feel to it, I like the way it glides and still carries you the whole way. It’s a great collab all round.

Agüita – Gabriel Garzón-Montano
When first writing my project, I was obsessed with this song, it was so cut throat but like fun and confident. I love listening to this at the gym, before shows. It’s cool.

Sexy Villian – Remi Wolf
God, I love how fun and carefree this track is, I think it’s just such a good vibe and something nice to vibe to before going on stage. The playfulness is something I want to help translate into my shows as well!

Cold Blood – Junior Varsity
I love the grunge. I’d totally play this right before a show, the energy is so cool and edgy.
