20-year-old Molly Burman is an up and coming singer-songwriter from North London. She comes from a very musical family and is about to extend their legacy with her relatable songs. New single Pretty Girl will appeal to anyone who’s ever felt uncomfortable in their own skin, or less attractive than those around them.

In her own words: “I wrote Pretty Girl a few years ago desperately trying to become what I thought was ‘perfect’. (…) Over time I started to realise that I could only truly be pretty when I felt it; when I was doing things that I loved, wearing colourful clothes and not trying to be someone else. This song is about being completely yourself and feeling absolutely beautiful while doing it.“

Pretty Girl opens with just Burman’s Kate Nash-like voice over nothing more than a piano. Vulnerable and touching, she couldn’t be more exposed. However, the song slowly but surely builds up with strings and acoustic guitars. A reflection of her need to be seen becoming more powerful.
