Scutt Shares New Single ‘Pretending To Be OK’
British singer and songwriter Scutt has just shared his brand new single Pretending To Be Ok, a piano-based song about his mental health experience during the pandemic.
I am really enjoying his warm, smooth vocals and how they easily draw the listener's attention to his storytelling. Pretending To Be OK is an introspective pop song on which Scutt reflects on the struggles he faced over the last few years and how he is now in a good place in life. This is quite relatable to all that have dealt with anxiety and depression and shows that we're not alone and that things can really get better with love and support from those around us. This song sounds like it was written for me, but I'm still not in that place, but am going towards it.
Pretending To Be Ok is wrapped around a warm production with emotive piano chords and an atmospheric soundscape that makes it stand out even more. Have a listen to this positive and empowering song below!
Speaking about the song, Scutt said,
So this song pretty much summarises the journey I’ve had over the last few years and now marks the point where I can say that I’m truly happy with myself. And I now wanna be that voice of kindness and relation. For a long time I felt like I wasn’t good enough and often struggled with anxiety and periods of negative thinking. This carried on for a while, and when it got to it’s worst, I ended up having no motivation to do a lot of the things I normally would and I didn’t have any motivation in bettering myself. But once I found the courage to open up about my true feelings, then everything started to change. And with the love and support from my friends and family which I am lucky enough to have around me, and with the help of God, I am now able to fully accept myself for who I am. So I’m posting this for anybody that has ever struggled with any sort of mental health issues, and I want it to show that you’re not alone, it does get better, and there is no shame in reaching out for help which can go a long way.
