The track is the artist’s first single since the release of her stunning 2023 EP No Rain, No Flowers
Her sultry and engrossing R&B sound is something that has seen UK artist Aiyana K heralded as a rousing and immersive rising artist who’s captivating appeal has a healing and liberating quality to it that strikes a chord with listeners.
The artist’s latest single ‘Play Pretend’ is a great showcase of the artist’s talents, utilising this laid-back appeal to craft an introspective anthem centred around the idea of rediscovering your passions and how you truly are, with the raw lyrics and intricate instrumentation providing the perfect scene to undergo such a journey. There is a passion and a sense of heart to the sound that embodies this idea of being yourself and doing what you need to do for you, rather than having to succumb to societal pressures of what is expected, and this track provides a great distraction from all of that noise and feels liberating throughout.
