Mimi Pretend Redefines Heartbreak with Unapologetic New Single, ‘Guys in LA’
Mimi Pretend, the talented singer-songwriter known for her emotionally charged music, unveils her latest single, “Guys in LA.” The track is a part of her upcoming album, “Sick Eros,” which is a chronicle of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery. Mixed and mastered by Chris Ostler of Black Honey, this collaboration has resulted in an exceptional piece of art that reflects Mimi’s personal and musical growth.
Mimi Pretend’s journey with Chris Ostler began during the pandemic, where they connected over Skype, allowing Ostler to guide Mimi through the intricacies of mixing and producing her music. This partnership has played a significant role in shaping her sound and allowing her to explore new depths in her artistry.
“Guys in LA” diverges from Mimi Pretend’s usual exploration of the aches and pains of love, as she ventures into uncharted territory. The song is a testament to her time at the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), which challenged her to write in ways that were foreign to her, ultimately leading to the creation of her alternate persona, Mimi.
The single is a perfect amalgamation of Mimi’s experiences, inspirations, and newfound writing techniques. It retains the soundscapes and textures that accompany sadness, while introducing a refreshing and uplifting melody that captures the essence of happiness. The track follows the adventures of the other Mimi, with a backdrop of old cars, haunted mansion pools, foggy beaches, bourbon, cloves, and a unique blend of southwestern gothic, LA noir, and grunge aesthetics.
“Guys in LA” is a vivid representation of Mimi Pretend’s growth as an artist, both personally and musically. The song showcases her versatility, as she breaks away from the role she once created for herself – the girl who wallowed in self-pity and couldn’t save herself. This single signifies a transformation and a rebirth, as Mimi Pretend embraces the complexity of emotions and experiences in life.
