Seven years since her first EP, 2018’s High Maintenance, the Icy Girl has yet to drop her long-awaited debut full-length, the elusive Pretty Bitch Music. Meanwhile, after laying relatively low for the first half of 2025, the Bay Area native returns with her seventh EP, HELLA PRESSURE—five bratty, bouncy tracks built for dance floors worldwide. Saweetie borrows the winding rhythms of Afrobeats for the sultry “i need some inspo,” slips Jersey club’s iconic bed-squeak sample into “pressure,” and flips a classic ’90s house anthem (Black Box’s “Everybody Everybody”) on “twinzzz,” a spiritual successor to her 2021 Doja Cat collab, “Best Friend.” K-pop superstars TWICE cameo on the tooth-rottingly sweet “superstars,” while she recruits “Bodak Yellow” producer J White Did It for “boffum,” an ode to maximalism: “Lady or a pimp? Both of ’em/You want the steak or the shrimp? Both of ’em.”
