Alternative, post-goth pop queen Fable is back with her new single “Human Pretending,” a track written with Paul Hartnoll of Orbital. Fable’s writing is energetic, dark and ever-changing—she’s a modern-day musical chameleon and refuses to walk, sing, or dance to anyone’s beat.
“Human Pretending” is about “the human condition,” explains Fable. “We are all flesh and bone, but we’ve convinced ourselves that intellectually we are part of something far greater, both individually and as a society. There’s a constant battle between our actual being and the personas we’ve created, to the extent we’re losing touch with who and what we really are.”
Fable’s music has a message, she’s more than just an avant-garde artiste, unlike her peers, Fable has something to say. “Human Pretending” is a transcendent experience, delivered with Fable’s signature alt pop flamboyance and a window into her twisted, pop soul.
“Human Pretending” is in stores now via 74 Music.
