French singer/songwriter Maxime Boublil aka Max Pretends kicks off 2023 with melancholic pop number “Home,” meditating on irrelevant moments that we saw as all-important instances in our younger days.
With a stripped back production built upon decadent yet hushed acoustic guitars, enchanting synths and deep vocals, the track is delicate yet powerful as Pretends’ voice plays off featuring Miami talent Milana’s high notes in a showcase of sonics that are earthy and ethereal at the same time.
A track delving into “about meaningless times of sex & debauchery which we thought was all that mattered as kids,” the cinematic production is an intimate yet resonant journey that hones in on Pretends’ alluring musicality which blends infectious instrumentation and poignant song writing to cement his status as a rising star in pop.
