“Is this what a break up on the dancefloor sounds like?” – DECLAN BYRNE, TRIPLE J
“Instant shimmy material on this new one from Beks. She’s infused this kiss-off track with plenty of bounce and colour.” – DAVE RUBY HOWE, TRIPLE J UNEARTHED
“…an equally infectious banger that will have you ready to dance under the flashing of candy-coloured lights.” – THOMAS BLEACH
Rising queer pop-star Beks has returned following her #3 iTunes charting single ‘Devoted’, with multi-million streamed artist and influencer Lucy Neville for the dreamy electronic pop ballad ‘Make Believe’. Co-writing their experiences with losing who they thought to be the ‘love of their lives’, the ethereally penned track produced by Jim Elliot captures a raw emotional vulnerability in Beks’ artistry.
Make Believe. Feat Lucy Neville
“There are so many emotions and stages on the way to recovering from a break up, this song is about the first stage; grief. The opening lyrics, ‘you won, but you cheated, covers pulled over me’ is about accepting that the person you loved fooled you into a false reality, a reality you thought was safe and forever. It was really difficult to record the vocals because the lyrics are so confronting and personal. In the second verse ‘so I made you deleted’ is about blocking this person, making them dead to you, to be able to move on”, says Beks of the track.
‘MAKE BELIEVE’ (OUT NOW)
