HEY SECRET DEMO CLUB LEGENDS

just mE dropping in to say thanks for a wild few days - the 'pretending' release totally surpassed my expectations - lots of spotify love (just hit 100k plays on there!), playlisted on Irish radio from day 1.. and the response has just been amazing. really encouraging to see & hear when I'm in the studio beavering away at finishing the rest of the album (which has been going well by the way - more on that next week).

also - if you haven't seen it the music video for 'pretending' came out on Friday too! honestly I always get so caught up in the prep work leading up to a release that I've never before managed to get a music video ready to drop at the same time as the track.. but hey, I did it! or I should really say WE did it.. there was a really amazing team behind making this video, including my best friend & art director for the album Greta Isaac, and director Rosie Brear (Rosie's directorial debut!). I took loads of footage on the shoot day.. if I put together a behind-the-scenes vid for this would you guys be keen?

thanks for everything. :) and please keep supporting 'pretending!'

og xx
