Psweatpants – ChAnge

Last year saw Glasgow via South London artist Psweatpants take home the prize for Best Hip Hop at the Scottish Alternative Music Awards. There has always been a clever fusion of genres in his music, and with latest single, the aptly titled ChAnge, things have moved along again. I love to see musicians unafraid of jumping off-course and taking their music in a different direction, and the new track brings a more subtle, exposed insight into what lies underneath the harder-hitting grime/garage influenced releases of the past few years. With hints of early Earl Sweatshirt (the perfect accompaniment to sweatpants when you think about it), ChAnge sets the bar high for what’s to come next.

Psweatpants says, “With ChAnge, I take a bold step into new territory—both musically and personally. Departing from the usual hard-hitting rap sound, this track leans into an indie-alternative lane, revealing a more introspective side. Built around raw guitar tones and stripped-back production, ChAnge explores the growing pains of becoming a better person. It’s a confession, a self-check, and a moment of clarity all in one. Lyrically vulnerable and sonically fresh, the track captures me at a turning point—pushing past his past and carving out space for transformation. This is more than a genre shift. It’s a personal evolution”.
