2x ARIA-nominated R&B artist PANIA returns to our streaming queue today with her latest EP Coming 2 Terms, featuring three pre-released singles and two brand new tracks, and has confirmed she’ll be headlining stages in Sydney and Melbourne later this year.
Coming 2 Terms is a work of self-reflection, one that in its five-track runtime charts “the four stages of coming to terms with everything,” as PANIA puts it.
It’s also a reflection of a new, focused purpose for the West Melbourne-raised artist, with lessons learned since her 2020 debut and no small amount of self-examination. In PANIA’s own words, “My goal from the start has always been to make people feel less alone through my music. Music has been my way of processing everything I’ve felt in life, and I want listeners all over the world to feel that connection too.”
The title track especially is a product of vulnerability that marks the closing of a chapter, one PANIA explains is her “Singin’ in the Rain moment,” saying, “No matter how badly someone has done me, at the end of the night when I lie in bed, I still remember the good times over the bad. I hope it’s the same for them. I wanted to end on a peaceful note, with gratitude for the lessons and growth.”

To support the EP’s release, PANIA has also announced the ‘Coming 2 Terms Tour’, with headline shows for Sydney at Vic on the Park and Melbourne (details TBA), plus an appearance supporting Six60 on the Sydney Opera House steps.
Previously, PANIA has supported major international acts like Coldplay, Kehlani, RAYE, Givēon, and Anees. PANIA has also headlined her own shows in Sydney and Melbourne, including a sold-out performance at the Sydney Opera House as part of Vivid LIVE. She’s earned back-to-back ARIA nominations for Best Soul/R&B Release – first for her breakout hit “P STANDS 4 PLAYA” and again for WE STILL YOUNG.
In a 2023 interview with Rolling Stone AU/NZ, PANIA reflected on her journey from past jobs to sold-out tours and iconic stages, describing her rise as both surreal and deeply personal: “I don’t want to be underrated, I want to be rated properly, you know?”
