Daniel Seavey - Can We Pretend That We’re Good? (2022) Hi Res

Multi-platinum singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Daniel Seavey makes his official solo debut with the explosive new project Can We Pretend That We’re Good? Embarking on a new chapter of his career, the Why Don’t We co-founder re-introduces himself as a bold and boundless solo artist with an ever-evolving collage of rock, pop, alternative, and electronic layers, shifting past one another in tectonic fashion.

Self-penned and produced, the unpredictable push-and-pull of title track “Can We Pretend That We’re Good?” represents the kind of music Seavey was destined to make. On the track, acoustic guitar creaks beneath emotive verses and the pops of a plucked cello. It snaps into a rush of distortion and electronic feedback as his falsetto rings out, “I’ll never find another you.”

“It’s fun to dive into who I am. For the last few years, I’ve been jotting down notes without even realizing I’m leaving this trail of who I am in the lyrics and music. I’m definitely a whole different person, but I’ve always been this artist. The texture of what I bring was there, but it’s being seen now. So many curveballs in life have changed me. In terms of the music though, it’s never shifted. I consistently try to take different sounds and assemble something you’ve never heard before. I’ve always wanted to do this, and I’m excited to be able to now.” - Daniel Seavey
