NEW MUSIC: SEBASTIAN JAVIER | PRETEND

Argentina-born and Toronto-based singer Sebastian Javier kicks off with an impressive new single, “Pretend,” via Elektra Records. "'Pretend' captures the feeling between denial and acceptance. A relationship is over, but the feelings remain," Sebastian says of the song. "I went through a tough breakup, and this song helped me open my eyes to the importance of being honest with myself about how I was feeling. There is a point where we need to meet our emotions and say, 'Hey, it's okay to feel this way. As I've grown, I've gotten better at being more emotionally open with myself, and it's incredible how much it can help," he shares. "Pretend" marks Sebastian's first new music of the year and sets the stage for much more to come. Sebastian closed out 2021 with his first-ever holiday song, "Christmas Time." This latest track gets us excited for what Sebastian has in store for us next and an act you do not want to miss. "Christmas Time" arrived on the heels of Sebastian's single "Day at a Time." Inspiring critical applause, Teen Vogue praised, "With a sweet melody and reassuring vocals served over an acoustic beat, Sebastian reminds us that the only way to get through anything is to take it one day at a time." Sebastian has all the makings of global pop’s new leading man, and his latest releases set the stage for much more new music to come. Stay tuned for more from Sebastian Javier, as he is one rising musical artist and social media star who must be on your radar in 2021.
