The British pop star Diana Vickers's new single, "Pretty Boys", is out now. It has a bold, bright statement and follows her lively summer comeback with "Ice Cream." This polished anthem alternates between empowering people and being self-aware in a fun way. It shows that Vickers is going through a new phase, as evidenced by the glitter in her hair and the smirk on her lips.
"Pretty Boys," co-written and produced by Dee Adam (Tom Grennan, Baby Queen) and George Glew (Deaf Havana), is full of life and energy, transporting you back to the early 2000s. Vickers cleverly utilizes the polished appeal of pop music to demonstrate how self-esteem and sexual confidence can be subversive. Her voice is fun, adaptable, and easy to tell apart. It has both sharpness and charm, and it makes every line funny in an innovative way.
In "Pretty Boys," Diana discusses breaking bad habits and how people who seem charming but aren't truly admirable can be shallow. Still, it's done in a playful way, which serves as a reminder that accepting your power can be just as enjoyable as it is empowering.
Simon Cowell famously said that her voice was like "Marmite" you either love it or hate it, but you can't ignore it. In "Pretty Boys," Vickers backs up what he says. People say this pop music is bold, self-aware, and hard to resist.
