The track is the artist’s second release of 2023 following ‘Blood Bath’.
Despite the slickness and charm of her sound, latest Elba Rose single ‘Playing Pretty’ is a track that is packed full of rage and a tiredness of fitting into other peoples expectations, making for a multi-faceted and deft new release that is packed full of immersive appeal.
The track is packed full of the ethereal moments and intoxicating vocals that we have come to expect from the artist, but this time they are layered with something all the more gritty and dark, lyrically provocative and packing the fierce cutting edge of an artist who has had enough. ‘Playing Pretty’ is a subdued but quietly powerful and vibrant anthem for anybody who is looking to come out from the shadow of people’s expectations and announce themselves as their own person, against any kind of odds.
