Molly Burman - 'Pretty Girl'
Dreamy, bright and beautiful, Molly Burman’s upcoming release Pretty Girl has everything you could ask for in a springtime hit.
After the success of her EP Fool Me With Flattery last year, Burman is back at it again with stunning and emotionally driven track Pretty Girl. Due to come out on the 24th, this song explores the innate desire to be loved and accepted. February is namely the month of love and this song offers a different perspective; love both from those around you but perhaps more importantly love for yourself.
Her tenderness resonates through this song from the very beginning. In the opening lines, Burman is incredibly exposed with just her vocals and a piano behind her. It is a beautiful and powerful touch and really leaves all her heart and soul laid bare for the listener. Vulnerable and touching, the song slowly but surely builds up; a reflection of her need to be seen becoming more powerful. Burman paints a picture with her musicality and lyrics, articulating what it means to her to truly be ‘pretty’. Over the course of the track she explains how her perspective has shifted and evolved; she now recognises and understands that to be pretty means to be doing the things you love and living as your true self. Burman highlights the key difference between looking and feeling pretty, and with heart explains why the latter is so much more important.
