“Everybody’s Watching” by Pretty Average radiates an honesty that feels both timeless and current. From the opening notes, the song wraps listeners in a warm haze of shoegaze and post-punk rhythm. The guitars shimmer and hum, the vocals crackle with emotion, and within the blend of melody and distortion lies a thoughtful look at how we live under constant observation, online and off.
Pretty Average uses their mix of noise and melody to explore how performing for others reshapes love, identity, and self-worth. The song examines the illusion of perfection often staged for social media, the kind of couple that “looks great in pictures” but unravels in private. Behind the reverb, Candy’s voice rises with a rawness that refuses to romanticize heartbreak. It offers something real, something honest. The band’s chemistry, built over years of shared stages and long nights in Berlin, shines brightly. Their sound fuses Spanish roots with Berlin grit, creating a mood that feels intimate and alive. Ghost Palace Records’ production captures this spirit with both control and wildness, echoing the struggle to stay genuine when the world expects performance.
Personally, I find “Everybody’s Watching” to be a quiet revelation. It mirrors the fatigue of pretending and celebrates the power of truth. The feeling stays long after the final note, like a light flickering in the distance.
Pretty Average continues to prove that sincerity still matters. Their music connects heart to heart, without pretense or polish. So, follow Pretty Average on every platform and add “Everybody’s Watching” to your favorite playlist. In a world obsessed with appearances, their honesty feels like oxygen.
