Always heartfelt, written and performed out of an artistic need to do so – Kelly Murphy brings the passion, concept, melody and riffs required to let a song feel transcendent, being both ambient and intense, as Only Pretend captivates from the outset; and refuses to lower the bar throughout.
Building up beautifully, Kelly Murphy Music captures the essence of artistic rock with this alternative outcry of poetic and introspective expression. Only Pretend features an immense distorted crescendo, but first sets the mood with intimate, reverb-soaked contemplations, and lets that natural vocal ability shine in both settings perfectly well.
Crafted in collaboration with Brazilian singer Josh Paulino, Only Pretend is both fierce and delicate, and evolves gorgeously throughout its three-minute lifespan.
