Having made their name producing dark and catchy pop, Ponette have built a reputation and level of critical claim on the Scandinavian indie-pop scene. Their cover of t.A.T.u.’s All The Things She Said has picked up over 3 million plays on Spotify, and their beautifully bruised single Losing Me was highlighted by Norway’s biggest radio station, NRK P3.
With a new EP in the wings, Ponette have teamed up with Norwegian artist Torine on Fake My Feelings. The song has a kind of breathless feel to it, like getting busted when you are secretly crushing on someone instead of doing something productive. Warm bass tones, muted guitars and energetic vocals create an emotive, glossy feeling.
Describing the inspiration of the song, Ponette said:
“Fake My Feelings is a result of the introspection most people probably go through after a break-up. You need distance from the relationship before you’re able to see things clearly. The song is about realising you’ve lived for one person, without paying much attention to what you need yourself or who you want to be.”
