British singer-songwriter Oliver Pinder delves into how social media makes us disconnected on “pretty faces,” an impassioned offering built on distorted guitar riffs and bass lines, plucky synths and fast-paced drums that form the foundation for his powerful yet frustrated vocal performance.
Ruminating on the lack of realism that social media provides and the anxiety around supposed perfection, the contemplative production is rooted brutally honest and emotive lyricism underscored by a touch of passionate aggression.
Speaking of the track, "I wrote this song with my friend Jacob, since I was quite young I have always been quite jealous of other people's looks, characteristics and I have continuously been self-conscious particularly in the social media world – scrolling down socials can be a really toxic place. That's exactly what this one is about, feeling envious of people's looks and happy feed friendly lifestyles.”
Having used music as his emotional outlet from a young age, Pinder’s earnest and anthemic musicality captures the anxieties of today’s younger generation with sensitivity and vulnerability, as he sets himself up as a future sensation in indie and alt pop.
