Pretend was one of my favourite songs on that album! Mainly because I like the synth/keyboard sound that’s used in the track. But I listened to the ‘Aquarius’ album years after it came out, just out of curiosity and was pleasantly surprised that the rest of the album never sounded like ‘2 on’ or ‘all hands on deck,’ the very songs that gave me no interest in listening to an album from her. I got the vibe that the music she really wanted to make and what the label wanted from her, didn’t align. So her singles were ‘blah’ to me (what the label wanted) but songs on her album were much better like ‘bated breath,’ ‘far side of the moon’ and ‘Aquarius.’ Her music is so much better now that she’s independent.
