Hayden Lloyd – “Can’t Just Pretend”

The new single “Can’t Just Pretend” by Hayden Lloyd is a fresh masterpiece that grabs from the first note. Hayden, whose music is a unique mix of blues rock, funk, and soul, elevates his music with this track. It is a wonderful blend, which brings to mind the spirit of icons such as John Mayer and Etta James but is unique in its own right. The song starts with gentle and soulful sounds and a chill drum groove which creates a laid-back vibe that’s instantly appealing.

The vocal delivery of Hayden in the first verse is sweet, leading to a chorus that provides an interesting change of dynamics. The guitar solo is especially impressive, demonstrating Lloyd’s adaptability as he departs from his typical wild riffs to something more mellow yet just as mesmerizing. “Can’t Just Pretend” is proof of Hayden’s ability to change his sound while still respecting the classics, which makes this track a must-listen for fans of any age.
