The eighth single in the catalogue of singer-songwriter Garlen Lo is ‘Pretty Baby’, a romantic number written over twenty years ago when the Londoner was only seventeen. A favourite at family gatherings, Garlen decided it was time to show the world. I can see why.
I must admit that before I gave the song a listen I was sceptical. There are many times where a simple chord progression sounds bland or inauthentic, but on this occasion it doesn’t. Knowing ‘Pretty Baby’ was written by a teenager in love, the admittedly corny lyrics give the song a rawness and provides an opportunity for us to reminisce about the euphoria of being young and in love rgm
