Scott Helman shares the bouncy new bop 'Pretty', a stripped yet danceable and uplifting new single dripping with sensual vibes. Built around a simple plucky synth line and pulsey beat, Helman's effortless vocals are given the space to to take centre stage as the track builds towards it's infectious earworm chorus.
Accompanied by a entrancing Ben Knechtel directed video, Helman is at his charismatic best in a flamboyant solo performance experimenting with dazzling makeup and flowing outfits as he explores and searches for what it takes to feel confident.
Speaking on the single Ben said: “This song was a big step for me in exploration and limits. I wanted to take myself as far as I could down the line of ‘uncomfortable’ while still maintaining what feels like me. Ultimately, I thought it was such a special thought – the idea that someone can be so beautiful that you just want a bit of them to become part of you. In that thought, there is so much beauty and humour – the transcendence of traditional gender roles, the flirt, the strangeness. That’s what excited me about our initial demo, and what continues to excite me now.”
A striking contrast to his previous rock infused release 'Old Friends', ‘Pretty’ is the second track to be released from Scott Helman’s forthcoming album, due for release next year - Listen and watch below:
