Psylosia - don't pretend

Psylosia — “don’t pretend” (from don’t pretend we’re still the same)

don’t pretend from Psylosia’s don’t pretend we’re still the same single drops listeners into a scene straight out of a cyberpunk noir dream. Hailing from Wilmington, NC, Psylosia brings a pop‑leaning sensibility to atmospheric production that feels both futuristic and deeply emotional — and this track is a perfect example of that blend.

The song is cyber and soulful at once, with layers of vocal reverb creating a dreamlike atmosphere that feels like stepping into a neon‑dripped lounge deep within a smokey metropolis. The organic rhythmic elements and slow, sensual pacing give don’t pretend an intimate vibe that’s rich in both mood and texture, while the echoing vocals wrap around you like flickering lights against darkened streets.

What makes this track stand out isn’t just mood, but emotion. It delivers on vibe while making you feel it — a deep, reflective pulse that lingers long after the last note fades, perfectly suited for late‑night listening or moments when you want to get lost in sound and thought.
