New York City’s newly-opened venue, Brooklyn Paramount, hosted PinkPantheress for two nights of performances on her Capable of Love tour this week. On Sunday, the singer performed her biggest hits and album deep cuts to a sold-out audience and welcomed Cash Cobain to the stage as a special guest. Saving the best for last, PinkPantheress brought Ice Spice and Kelela out to perform their respective collaborations during Monday’s sold-out show.

Kelela was the first guest of the evening, joining PinkPantheress for “Bury Me” during the second act of the show. “I’ve got somebody I’ve looked up to my whole life, my whole career, my whole conscious life listening to music,” the singer shared before introducing her guest. The collaboration appeared on PinkPantheress’ debut album, Heaven Knows, which arrived last November. She performed five additional songs, including “Another Life” and “True Romance,” before welcoming her second surprise artist.

On Sunday, PinkPantheress asked the audience to catch her up to speed on what the best NYC borough is. Brooklyn was the loudest within those cheers, with very little love for Staten Island, deservingly. Just before Ice Spice’s verse in “Boy’s a Liar, Pt. 2” began playing through the speakers, the singer issued a challenge: “You said Brooklyn was the best borough, right? Prove it.” But the rapper showing up to perform the verse herself at Monday’s show made an undeniable case for the Bronx.

PinkPantheress also had a few special guests in the audience of her two shows that didn’t make it to the stage, including Tyla and Lily Allen. The Capable of Love tour will resume later this week in Chicago. The run is currently scheduled to conclude on May 5 with a second show at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles.
