Actress and singer-songwriter Freya Skye has released an amazing brand new single titled, “Can’t Fake It,” showing off her songwriting skills, as well as her vocal abilities.
The 15 year old started to gather the attention of the world after she represented the UK for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in December of 2022. During this performance she performed her single, “Lose My Head,” where she showed off her amazing vocals. Freya had one of the top spots overall, placing fifth and winning the online vote, which was a great victory viewed by over 33 million people.
Not so long ago, she signed a record deal with Hollywood Records and a publishing deal with Disney Music Publishing. Also, Freya got a deal with Disney Branded Television and she is currently working on filming “ZOMBIES 4.”
After being announced that she was signed to Hollywood Records, she released multiple singles throughout 2024 – “Who Says,” “Walk Over,” “Someone to Love,” and “Winter Dream.” “Winter Dream,” had most success due to it being a festive song perfect for the holiday season, the single has already gathered over 600 thousand streams on spotify,
On January 17, 2025, Freya released her newest single “Can’t Fake It.” This song is a pop single with lyrics of being stuck in a relationship that isn’t working out. The song starts off with drums which leads into the main instrumental, with Freya comparing how her relationship started and how it ended. Freya sings, “But I can’t stop myself from looking at that old picture, how did we go from that to not texting back?” During the chorus the song transitions to a catchy upbeat melody, which repeats a couple times throughout the song.
Overall, I enjoyed this single a lot, the lyrics weren’t relatable for me, but I would find them to be easy to relate for others. This song isn’t one of those that I would come back to every so often, since I tend to listen to more Hip-Hop and Rock. This song reminds me heavily of Olivia Rodrigo, and Taylor Swift, if you’re a fan of their music I would recommend the song. I would give this single a 8.3/10.
