Reception
"Easter Pink" received acclaim from music critics, who often praised its production and performance. Pitchfork ranked it as one of the "best new tracks" of 2025, with Green feeling that the song was made more captivating "by its supremely teenage gawkiness, the sense of something great discovering itself," comparing it to a clip of MGMT performing "Friends" while students at Wesleyan University. [3] D'Souza gave it a similar ranking, noting that in theory, Fakemink "should be of a piece with the 2020s class of overstimulating Gen Z internet rappers such as Nettspend and OsamaSon. But although he is, in some sense, part of that scene, his music is also far more linear and melodic, and more indebted to the past." [4]
Racket included the song on their Spotify playlist, with staff writer Keith Harris picking it "not so much for [Fakemink's] rhymes as for how the electroclashy throb that NYC production duo Suzy Sheer provides compliments his brash flow." [6] Clash critic Robin Murray lauded its production, which he noted was done "with a verve and sense of style that prevents this being some sleazy retrograde step", as well as Fakemink's performance, which Murray called "87 seconds of blunt force charisma – the flows are sheer London, but there's a universality to tongue-in-cheek arrogance that fuels 'Easter Pink'". [2] GRM Daily wrote that the song's release shows that Fakemink "continues to carve a unique lane for himself in the rap game," [7] while Chris DeVille of Stereogum "[couldn't] wait to see him perform it at the Fader Fort."
