After their incredible success on TikTok, where they gained over 2.4 million followers with their fun mash-ups, Bobby and Veda are eager to make a lasting impact in the music world. "Just Pretend" is their second official release, and it marks the arrival of a fresh new force in modern rock. From the very first notes, the song grabs your attention with its heartfelt energy. Bobby, well-known for his work as the lead singer of Saliva since 2011 and his earlier bands, brings a vibrant and gritty style to the performance. However, it's the emotional connection with Veda that genuinely makes the song special. Her voice isn't just an addition, it challenges and enhances the overall message. The lyrics of "Just Pretend" are rich in emotion, conveying a blend of openness and strength.
