Johan Lenox – “pretender” music video
“I’m exploring what it’s like to be young in a world where there’s a sense the coming future isn’t great. We’re trapped in a cycle of pointless fun as an excuse to avoid taking responsibility for our lives or facing the darker aspects of the world. In order to describe this, I try to make the music out of orchestra sounds. It’s about this suburban malaise, directionless-ness, and clinging to youth.” – Johan Lenox
‘pretender’ contains a relatable storyline, relaxed vocals, and melodic instrumentation scented with an urban-alternative aroma.
The likable tune is featured on Johan Lenox’s “everybody’s cool but me” EP. Also, the project includes the previously released singles: “i don’t do drugs anymore,” “fifteen”, and “smile like an idiot”.

‘everybody’s cool but me’ evokes the youthful bliss and boredom of late-night parties in the Massachusetts woods, doomed young love, and the uncertainties of growing up.
Also, it reflects the discontent and disillusionment of a generation existing outside the boundaries.
Not too long ago, Johan Lenox became a part of the Island Records’ artist roster.
So far, the artists who have benefited from his mastery includes Kanye West, Travis Scott, Ty Dolla $ign, NAS, and Teyana Taylor to name a few.
