Ellie d. Discloses Her Emotional New Track “Pretend”
The relatable lyrics and catchy melodies light up this song to the top of the charts. Ellie d. relates her life experiences living as a young woman in her early 20’s in Los Angeles, California and weaves them into her musical creations. Streaming her intimate thoughts into thousands of cell phone voice memos and transforming them into vulnerable lyrics is Ellie’s specialty. Her innate desire for music transformed growing up listening to artists such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Billy Joel, The Who, and Fleetwood Mac. Here’s a few words from the artist herself below.
"‘Pretend’ is about the stomach aches and overthinking you get when you start to develop feelings for someone. You get a taste of it and there’s no turning back. Is that struggle worth it? Or is it better to be alone, single, and not be into someone at all?” -Ellie d.
