Why You Should Stan PRETTYMUCH
A lot of people seem to think that boybands are history long forgotten. Surely many of the new ones nowadays don’t seem to live up to the standards that were set back in the day by groups such as Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC. However, I’m here to tell you that this one specific boyband, PRETTYMUCH, is bringing this culture back from the dead. Consisting of group members (from left to right: Austin Porter, Brandon Arreaga, Edwin Honoret, Nick Mara, and Zion Kuwonu), they’re the next-level boyband to keep an eye out for, and here’s why:
#1: They sure know how to bust a move on the dancefloor.
Yeah, all boybands sing, but not a lot of them know how to dance, especially while singing. In one of PRETTYMUCH’s latest singles released a few months ago “Rock Witchu”, the boys released a music video for it with them practicing their choreography. You can check out the music video right here and groove along with them. In case you can’t get enough, here’s another music video for their first single ever released called “Would You Mind.”
#2: They’re interactive with their fans on social media.
Social media plays a vital role when fans are trying to connect with their idols. Some celebrities or groups don’t have the time or don’t even try to look through all their Twitter mentions or Instagram DMs because they’re flocked with messages. PRETTYMUCH takes the cake by being one of the most down-to-earth boybands as they have a very interactive relationship with their fanbase. They even gave a name for their fans: the BEANZ (get it? The boys names are Brandon, Edwin, Austin, Nick, and Zion!). On all social media platforms, they answer as many mentions and messages that they can so that the fans feel appreciated. How many of your favorite celebrities have the time to answer the millions of messages they receive daily?
#3: Their fashion sense is on another level.
When people think of boybands, they think of them wearing skinny jeans and generic high brand clothing. PRETTYMUCH is diverse when it comes to what they wear. Honestly, if you look at how they dress, they can wear anything from name brands such as Louis Vuitton, regular thrifted clothing, or small online shops just trying to make a name for themselves. They can rock whatever they want and they make it look effortless.
#4: DUH, their music!
I don’t know about you, but I can’t really sit and listen to generic, bubblegum pop music all the time. That’s a hard statement to preach when talking about boybands, too. When it came down to me initially hearing about PRETTYMUCH, I was like “another boyband that’s gonna sound like everyone else, right?” but then they put me through a loop as I was surprised by their R&B tones mixed with their Pop harmonies. You can have a listen to their gospel-esque vibes in their “Gone 2 Long (choir version)” or their R&B/Pop sound in “Open Arms”
