'Next up on True Romance is a beautifully bright single from long term label friend Dan Corco. 'Hard To Pretend' follows up releases for Robsoul, Too Many Rules and Downtown Underground and mines right down to the core of the True Romance sound as it marries together amorous chimes, bittersweet vocals and giddy, ecstatic piano chords.
In true Corco style, the production feels unchained and expressive and the result is entirely magnetic. Propelled with characterful lo-fi drums that provide added warmth, depth and power, the track gleefully gathers momentum while synth sweeps and flourishes add a deliciously sun-drenched seasoning to a track with summer anthem written all over it.'
