Manic Dream Pixie is the debut extended play by Australian singer-songwriter Peach PRC,[4][5] released on 28 April 2023 through Republic Records.[6] The EP debuted at number one on the Australian ARIA Albums Chart.
A pride edition of the EP called Music Is Universal: Manic Dream Pixie Pride featuring previous singles "God is a Freak", "Symptomatic", "Forever Drunk", and "Heavy", was released on 9 June 2023.[7]
The EP was nominated for three awards at the 2023 ARIA Music Awards, and two at the 2024 Rolling Stone Australia Awards.
A deluxe version of the EP was released on 26 April 2024 with new song "You're So Lucky You're Gorgeous".[8]
Style
[edit]The album is considered to be part of the bubblegum pop genre.[2][3] It has also been described as a 2000s pop throwback, with Peach describing her desire to return to "2010-era fun" music such as Carly Rae Jepsen and Katy Perry.[9]
The song "Favourite Person" is a response to Peach's breakout 2021 single "Josh", with the latter being about a breakup with an ex-boyfriend and "Favourite Person" being intended as an apology for how she spoke about him at the time.[9] "Kinda Famous" was inspired musically by the beat from Robyn's "Dancing On My Own" and lyrically by Kesha's "Stephen", and is about pursuing romance with a "kinda famous" boy band member.[9] The song has also been called a tongue-in-cheek version of Eminem's "Stan" because she manages to be charming despite exhibiting stalker behavior.[10]
Promotion
[edit]Singles
[edit]The EP's lead single, "Perfect for You", was released on 2 February 2023.[11] The song is about Peach's first date with her girlfriend, which included them listening to the Paris Hilton song "Stars Are Blind" together,[12] inspiring Peach to include an interpolation of "Stars Are Blind" in "Perfect for You".[13] Hilton responded positively to the song, leaving comments on TikTok indicating interest in a future collaboration,[12] and the two subsequently became close friends.[9] The second single, "F U Goodbye", released on 2 March.[11] "Kinda Famous" was released as the third single on 28 April.[14]
Tour
[edit]Peach PRC announced a headlining tour of Australia for the album on 2 March. The initial tour schedule included single shows in Melbourne and Sydney which sold out, with more shows at those locations announced subsequently.[5] The first Melbourne show, held at Northcote Theatre, was livestreamed on the artist's TikTok page.[15]
Commercial performance
[edit]The EP debuted at number one in Australian ARIA Albums Chart, making it Peach PRC's first entry on the chart. The EP spent one week in the top 50,[16] falling to number 94 the following week.[17]
