The track follows the release of the lauded ‘communicate.’ from earlier this year.
On her latest single ‘pretend.’, emerging UK artist CAii explores the darker and more sultry corner of her sound as she reaches into more of the immersive, emotional depths that her unique brand of alternative pop is growing known for.
The track explores a faltering relationship, and a situation that has left you longing for some kind of emotional intimacy and affection. This hunger for affection and to hold onto it for as long as possible is a near universal experience, and CAii and her intensely emotional delivery paint an all too real and familiar picture of the desperation to keep up the illusion and prevent the inevitable for as long as possible. The track has a sexiness that counteracts its bittersweet sadness throughout, and it’s slick, trap-influenced beats help to create a multi-faceted and engrossing listening experience that continues to highlight CAii’s prowess as an artist and storyteller.
