PLAY DEAD POKES FUN AT INFLUENCER CULTURE IN CATCHY NEW TUNE “PRETTY LITTLE THING”

Play Dead is a grunge rock band based in the UK. Their sound is very 90s, but their lyrics are topical. “Pretty Little Thing” explores the looming side-effects of social media, and influencer culture specifically.

It’s cheeky and playful, with sarcasm seeping through every note. The way the vocalist articulates himself reminds listeners that the song is satirical in a sharp, sensible way.

He seems to insinuate that you don’t truly know someone behind the screen, regardless of how many likes or followers they may have. It’s catchy, it’s campy, and its important message resonates with audiences.

Everything from the punchy guitars that pick up in the chorus to the single’s cover art speaks to Play Dead’s message. Overall, “Pretty Little Thing” is a job well done!
